ROX Orcas Signs Geguri, Will Be First Female Overwatch Player at OGN APEX

Overwatch team ROX Orcas has signed Geguri to be a part of their 9 player roster leading into season 4 of OGN’s APEX, currently Overwatch’s top league. Kim Se-yeon, best known for her Zarya play, will be the first woman to compete in professional Overwatch at this level.

Geguri made headlines a few months ago after being accused of cheating during a tournament. Her name was promptly cleared by Blizzard, but not before she faced a serious backlash by viewers and competitors. The match in question was against Dizziness, and multiple players came forward with accusations. They argued that her precision with Zarya was impossibly good, and she must have been using an aim hack to have that sort of tracking. Looking at this clip, Geguri certainly shows off some god-like tracking (especially the 360 where she stops at each one of her teammates), but none of it points to use of any cheat. This didn’t stop Strobe and ELTA (of Dizziness) and Ping Ddak (who posted the clips and accused her in the first place) from making serious claims and at times threats.

On Inven, a Korean message board, Strobe wrote: “If this problem is confirmed as a hack, it would have caused a problem to our career and reputation. How will you take responsibility for that?” He went way overboard as he continued, saying: “If there is a problem with our sponsors and such, I may visit Geguri’s house with a knife in hand. I am not joking.”

The team Geguri was playing for, UW Artisan, got multiple calls from Blizzard Korea clearing her name and confirming she didn’t cheat. Both ELTA and Strobe issued apologies and said because of their actions they would be retiring from Overwatch.

ELTA wrote that it was hard to believe Geguri’s skill is at the level that it’s at, and he felt bad for accusing her. Given her precise tracing, he thought there was no way she wasn’t cheating. Strobe admitted to making the remark about the knife, and he apologized for not being able to control his anger. Following the incident, Dizziness disbanded.

ROX Orcas qualified for Season 4 of Apex after finishing in the top 6 of Apex Challengers. Geguri, currently ranked #37 in Korea, will be looking to use her off-tank play to help her team make a run for the title. APEX Season 4 kicks off this week, August 11th!

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.
