Natus Vincere beat Counter Logic Gaming 2-1 to qualify for the quarter finals at DreamHack Open: Cluj-Napoca. The games went 16-9 on Train (Na’vi’s pick) 10-16 on Cobble (CLG’s pick) and 16-8 on Inferno. Na’vi moves on to face Luminosity Gaming in the playoffs tomorrow.

The games didn’t feel all that close, which is unfortunate for CLG, but they managed to win the rematch of the map they lost to Na’vi on their first day, and that’s worth celebrating. Jdm was the constant on team CLG throughout the series. He was the most consistent impact player, and the awp helps with that. Casters touched on the fact that tarik was quiet most of the series, save for an exception ace on a banana rush in Inferno, and that’s troubling as he is supposed to be not just their best player, but a top North American player period. It’s back to NA for Team Liquid, Cloud 9 and CLG, and this major didn’t draw any deciding lines on who deserves the title of top team.

Na’vi won fairly easily. It was 2-1, which is closer than most predicted, but it never felt like they were in danger of losing the series. Yes, zues’ Molotov play at the end of Cobble was odd, but that’s the type of play that looks pro as hell if it works and stunningly silver when it doesn’t. They moved to Inferno where they established an early lead on the counter-terrorist side. Once they hit 14 rounds won, they began to experience some resistance from CLG who was now on the favored CT side, but 16-8 should aptly display the amount of danger Na’vi was facing in losing control.

Luminosity Gaming is up next for Na’vi in a game that will prove interesting if nothing else. LG beat Cloud 9 on their way to the tournament, upsetting many skin bets, and went on to beat them at the LAN, and they were among the eight teams invited to the LAN. Of the eight teams invited, all eight made it to the playoffs. Not one team that qualified through online tournaments landed a spot in the quarter finals.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
