Lenovo and Intel’s Legion of Champions Returns Bigger and Better

Registration for the fourth edition of the esports tournament is now open, with 12 markets competing to win the title of Asia Pacific’s greatest gaming champion

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA– October 23, 2019 – Lenovo the world’s leading PC and smart device manufacturer, has opened the qualifying round of its Legion of Champions Series IV (LoC IV). In partnership with Intel, Lenovo’s flagship Asia Pacific esports competition, now in its fourth series, will see its biggest edition yet. Gamers from 12 markets in the region, for the first time including Australia and New Zealand, will battle it out at this year’s LoC. The competition will see the introduction of two new crowd favourite games: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). As with previous editions, finalist teams for LoC IV will face-off in an intense international Grand Finals showdown, which will be held at Pantip Mall in Bangkok, from 12 – 14 December 2019. Registration ends on 14 November, 2019.

In addition, this year’s LoC is also calling for the best female gamers in the region to compete in the Legion of Valkyries (LoV), LoC’s first ever all-female tournament, where female gamers will be battling it out in the gaming arena playing CS:GO. The LoV has been developed to create additional opportunities for female gaming enthusiasts, both experienced and amateur, to showcase their talent.

Both LoC and LoV qualifiers will take place on the Rise of Legion platform – Lenovo’s flagship online esports league – offering teams a chance to compete with other enthusiasts around the world between 15 – 17 November, 2019. Shortlisted teams will advance to the local group stages across all markets. The top four LoV finalists in the region will then join the LoC IV Grand Finals in Bangkok as a full-fledged female team.

“Lenovo’s LoC series represents our commitment to growing the gaming ecosystem in Asia Pacific and serves as a platform that provides an unmatched experience for gamers to represent their team and market on the global stage. Given the growing interest of female gamers in esports, we have introduced the Legion of Valkyries to nurture a diverse group of gamers,” said Ivan Cheung, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Lenovo Asia Pacific.

At LoC III, held earlier this year, more than 8,000 gamers participated in front of 16,000 on-site attendees. The events are designed to foster Asia’s growing gaming community, and to further strengthen relationships between like-minded gaming enthusiasts. The Legion gaming PC range by Lenovo has been developed through active collaboration with the gaming community itself, with its latest innovations offering purposeful design with modern avid gamers’ needs in mind– stylish and sophisticated on the outside, yet savage on the inside, delivering supreme performance for work and play.

“We are proud to see the Legion of Champions tournament going from strength to strength in the Asia Pacific region and are excited to continue our 4th year of partnership with Lenovo in supporting the vibrant esports community. At Intel, we’re committed to supporting gaming communities around the world and powering the best esports tournaments by delivering the ultimate gaming experience,” said George Chacko, Director of Global Accounts for Lenovo, Intel Asia Pacific and Japan

Local champions and grand finalists will be competing for a total combined prize pool of USD$89,100 (AUD $130,000) across two games – the largest of any LoC tournament yet. At the end of the competition, the winning team for PUBG will walk away with USD$4,000 and USD$10,000 worth of Legion devices, while the winners for CS:GO will walk away with USD$5,000 and USD$12,500 worth of Legion devices.

Spectators can expect to experience the grit and tenacity of the gamers as they band together to seize the championship title. Those who wish to participate and compete in this epic gaming tournament may also take part in the Rise of Legion walk-in tournaments, LAN party, and cosplay contests.

Show School Spirit and Hit the Books in The Sims’ Highly Anticipated Expansion Pack!

Australia – Oct. 23, 2019 – Class is in session! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Maxis™ today announced that The Sims™ 4 Discover University* Expansion Pack is coming to PC and Mac on November 15, 2019 and on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on December 17, 2019. The highly anticipated expansion pack introduces a new chapter for Sims where they can enroll in their dream school and take classes in engineering, education or law, decorate their dorm room to feel like home, dabble in extracurricular activities and make everlasting memories with new friends.

“Easily the most requested piece of content by our players, we’re excited to reveal The Sims 4 Discover University and can’t wait for everyone to make the world of Britechester their classroom. Players can have their Sims live out whatever college experience they choose and create unique memories during an opportunistic chapter of their lives,” said Michael Duke, Senior Producer of The Sims 4. “They can enroll in classes that pique their interest, whether that is biology, computer science, art history or even villainy! Players could set up their Sims for success and join a study group with friends or hit the snooze button and miss their morning lecture. They can also enjoy extracurricular activities such as joining college organisations and attending school spirit events.”

The Sims 4 Discover University introduces the brand-new world of Britechester and two unique schools for Sims to pursue their higher education: the historical University of Britechester for arts and humanities majors, and the modern Foxbury Institute for careers in science and technology fields. Both campuses offer a variety of new experiences that ultimately prepare Sims for the real world with new career tracks in teaching, law and engineering, and help them excel in existing career paths. Players can choose how Sims embrace college life, how often they attend class and study hard to keep their grades up or choose to skip class to hang out with friends instead.

The expansion also introduces a slew of new activities and items to help Sims settle into life as a student. Sims can have study sessions at the library or take a break and mingle with new friends in the student commons, play juice pong, explore the campus on a bicycle or pull pranks against the rival school. Sims can also join school organisations like robotics, debate, art, or a mysterious secret society, and show off their school spirit at special events. Players can customise their Sims’ new digs, whether they’re living in a dorm or off-campus, with new décor like posters or a mini fridge and transform the space into their own personal haven. Sims can also develop their personal style with new clothing items inspired by the latest trends, including late-for-class attire, professional ensembles, or new pieces featuring their school’s colors.

As Sims start this new chapter in their lives in The Sims 4 Discover University, they’ll have plenty to learn both inside and outside of the classroom. Whether they’re studying hard or playing hard, Sims will become their best selves and discover experiences that will shape them into what they want to become.

The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack is rated T for Teen. For more information and to pre-order The Sims 4 Discover University, please visit www.TheSims.com.

Cracked Crusaders Leaves the Farm, Crawls to iOS, Android Dungeons on Nov. 5

HOBART, AUSTRALIA – Oct. 22, 2019 – Cracked Crusaders, the fast-paced dungeon-crawling platformer from developer Webbysoft, begins its quest on Nov. 5 for iOS and Android.

The shepherd Milton, his loyal sheep-dog Holly, and duck friend Dory take up arms when evil critters invade Lachy Valley and abduct their beloved flock of sheep. Fortunately, the wizard Lumbario assists the trio, guiding their adventure to Limsburg, where they will delve into dangerous dungeons to defeat the evil forces.

Starting with a simple sword, Milton and company venture into more than 100 levels teeming with fearsome foes and perilous hazards across five different worlds. Collect the map to uncover all the secrets in each level, then find and slay the dungeon master! Complete levels quickly enough and defeat all enemies to earn stars to buy new weapons and upgrades.

No matter your preference, the blacksmith offers something suited for everyone’s tastes, selling weapons with different attack speeds, properties such as jump damage, and elemental effects improving strength in some worlds. Meanwhile, additional equipment such as double-jump boots help navigate, and health upgrades keep our champions in the heat of battle.

Cracked Crusaders’ heroes will need every advantage they can get; the dozen bosses run the gamut of nimble foes to seemingly-invincible screen-filling monstrosities with specific weak points. Each conquered boss puts the trio one step closer to finding their sheep and discovering who was behind the heinous heist.  

Comic-style panes flesh out the humorous narrative sequences, with a bonus ending for those who get all 300 stars in the 10-plus hour campaign, while a pumping house soundtrack compliments the exhilarating gameplay.

“Cracked Crusaders combines everything gamers like me love from dungeon-crawling, to platforming, and awesome tunes,” said Luke Webster, Founder, Webbysoft. “I even made my dog Holly a playable character and incorporated my favorite parts of Tasmania. Cracked Crusaders is special for me, but I also know everyone will have as much fun playing this action-packed experience, as I did designing it.”

Cracked Crusaders releases on Nov. 5 as a free download on the App Store and Google Play with support for English language text. A one-time in-app purchase removes ads, unlocks Holly and Dory as playable characters, and offers extra skins for each hero. The soundtrack by Koh-dee will be available on Spotify alongside the game’s release. 

For more information on Cracked Crusaders, visit the game’s official website and follow Webbysoft’s Luke Webster on Twitter.
