G2 Esports beat Mousesports 2-1 to decide who moves on to face Virtus Pro in the quarter finals tomorrow at DreamHack Open: Cluj-Napoca. They beat them on Mirage (Mouse’s pick) in Overtime 19-16, lost Inferno (G2’s pick) 12-16 and dominated on Cache 16-5. The match was full of highlights and is a must watch for fans of either team who missed the live broadcast.

Mirage was back and forth the whole time. Maikelele’s name was mentioned the most on G2 Esports because it seemed no matter how many members of mousesports were in his way, he’d find a way to isolate them and kill them. In round four he found himself in a 1v4 on the B bombsite and killed three members, one of which dropped the bomb, and successfully hid from the last as time expired. It seemed as if all players on G2 were firing on all cylinders, as everyone had a chance to shine throughout the match. Mousesports weren’t playing terribly, and the map was their pick. NiKo had another astonishing desert eagle round in which he tapped out three headshot to three terrorists on cat to end a round. Mouse looked visibly frustrated as the match labored on, and eventually fell in overtime, only grabbing one of four rounds played.

Inferno was G2’s map choice, and the map they sent mousesports into the lower bracket with. You wouldn’t have known that if you’d have watched mouse’s terrorist half. A close first half and 7 rounds on T side made it seem as though mouse was set for a repeat, but they came back with an even stronger T half, winning eight of the next 13. And that’s after losing their pistol round. It seemed as though G2 was stuck force buying a lot of the match, a testament to the damage done to their economy over the rounds by mouse, and after a certain point, were stuck force buying to try and stop mousesports who were sitting on a six round lead at 14. Two picks banana lead to a B execute that couldn’t be retaken by the remaining G2 members, and the two teams took their talents to Cache.

Cache moved quickly and decisively as G2 had their way with mouse. G2 started on the CT side. The first seven rounds saw mousesports take G2 down to only two 2v2s, while almost every other round four or more players from G2 survived. Each G2 player had a chance to shine with an impressive multikill, jkaem behind the box in B-main with a 4k comes to mind, while mouse was on the unfortunate end of a one-sided match on a map that’s considered to be fairly even when it comes to side advantage. G2 was up 8-0 when dennis (of G2) couldn’t find the bomb to defuse it on A site because it was obscured by smoke. He searched and searched and searched while chrisJ hunted down his team mate and eventually him. Without that anomaly, G2 would’ve been up 9-0, which could have lead to an even more one-sided half than 11-4.

G2 had a problem keeping the bomb within a reasonable distance from where they were hoping to get to and with planting the bomb promptly. This didn’t ruin the matches for them, obviously, but those timing mistakes may hurt them when looking ahead to a match against Virtus Pro. If they keep fragging like they did against mousesports, they’re definitely going to be able to put some stress on the Polish team. All five members of G2 had their names constantly in the conversation thanks to solid performances, and they will genuinely need to keep it up if they want to make this major their major.

Mousesports goes home with a 1-2 record, but not a lot to be ashamed of. They lost an extremely close match to a team in G2 that is finally starting to take shape as a team. ChrisJ looked solid, but missed too many awp shots that could have changed the shape of rounds, which could have easily changed the shape of the match as a whole. NiKo was doing nothing less than fans have come to expect, he was killing people nonstop, but more than once he was caught so terribly out of position that it cost them the round — cut to maikelele’s 1v4 on Mirage. Mouse took down flipside, and that’s reason enough to be proud, but in the end, another team that qualified online goes home and another team that was invited moves on.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
