MLB The Show 23 Tournaments $5,000 Launch Cup

MLB The Show 23 tournaments have officially launched out of Beta, meaning you can now connect your game ID and earn prizes while playing MLB The Show 23.

We are celebrating the launch of MLB The Show 23 with a $5,000 Launch Cup which is currently live and available to join.

This tournament, like our other tournaments, will be automatically scored by playing Diamond Dynasty 1v1 mode only. We will not count any matches played in Diamond Dynasty 2v2 or 3v3. All you have to do is connect your MLB ID, join the tournament, and play the correct game mode, and your scores will be added to the leaderboard automatically.

Your total score is based on your wins, how many runs you scored and gave up, and your overall batting (single, double, triple, etc) and pitching (strikeouts, hits given up, etc) stats in your games online.

The best part is you don’t have to match up with another player within the tournament on Repeat. Just play matchmaking in Diamond Dynasty and you’re automatically placed on a leaderboard featuring your top 10 matches scored, that means you can only improve your score as you play more!

Aside from this Launch Cup, we will also have Daily and Weekly tournaments you can join, and your games will count in every single tournament you’ve entered, even if they are all at the same time. During our first month, we will have $10,000 in prizes available to win!

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 tournaments are live on Repeat! We could not be more excited to bring Warzone 2 leaderboard tournaments to Repeat. For now, we will be launching in a beta environment for two to four weeks to make sure the scoring formats work and to get feedback from the community in how we can make these as fun for you as they can possibly be.

Make sure you join our Discord to offer any feedback you have on the tournament styles and formats, and also to be updated on news and tournaments we release during our official launch of Warzone 2. You can expect our launch to include massive cash prizes with some of your favorite Warzone creators. Stay tuned!

How Scoring works in Warzone 2 Tournaments

Repeat Leaderboard tournaments are unique in that you don’t actually have to play against the other people who have entered the tournament. You simply sign up for an account, connect your Game ID via PC, PlayStation or Xbox authorization, and join any amount of tournaments you like. As long as you’re playing the correct game mode, your scores will count for every single tournament you’ve entered.

We total your scores automatically and your place on the leaderboard is determined by the sum of only your best games. So some tournaments could be best three games, others best 10, 20 and so on. It usually depends on the length of the tournament, but this means you can only ever improve your score as you’re playing. So keep grinding for those high scores!

The best part is you will be able to earn coin prizes during this beta, and coins can be converted into prizes from the Repeat marketplace. We will be hosting daily tournaments for a total of over $1,000 per week during the beta, and the game modes will be Vondel Battle Royale, Al Mazrah Battle Royale, and the Resurgence map. The scoring formats will include Solos, Duos, Trios and Quads, whatever is available on the Warzone 2 playlist at the time.

General note about Warzone 2 Tournaments

Activision has a strict 18+ policy that Repeat must adhere to when running tournaments. Users found to be in violation of this policy will forfeit all Warzone tournament winnings and risk their Repeat account being banned. Read the knowledge base article here. Also, please note that users playing on PC will have to play the game on Battlenet until further notice. We are working diligently to provide access to players who play on Steam.

Video Game Revenues That Broke The Bank for Their Company

By

-

September 26, 2023

Video game revenues have been skyrocketing over the years; these games are going gangbusters thanks to microtransactions.

Back in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion offered downloadable horse armor for $2. Charging microtransactions for a single-player game was virtually unheard of at that time, so rightfully, there was valid uproar and complaints about that decision. These days, gamers are more desensitized toward additional purchases; microtransactions account for almost 60% of video game sales.

Microtransactions account for cosmetics and include subscription-based models like World of Warcraft, loot boxes, seasonal battle passes, live-service games, DLCs, expansions, and many more. These games generate untold riches for their companies when made well. In this article, we’ll look at some video game revenues that broke the bank for their companies through in-app purchases.

Video Game Revenues

Genshin Impact — $3 Billion

Genshin Impact, developed by HoYoverse (formerly miHoYo) has captured players’ attention with its breathtaking open world, anime-inspired visuals, and compelling character-driven narrative. The game’s exploration-focused gameplay allows players to traverse the fantasy realm of Teyvat, uncovering hidden secrets, solving puzzles, and engaging in real-time combat against a variety of foes.

Genshin Impact’s revenue model centers around its gacha system, where players use a premium currency (Primogems) to summon new characters and weapons. This randomized element has proven to be a significant revenue driver as players are enticed to spend real money for a chance to obtain rare and powerful characters. Frequent updates introducing new characters, story content, and events keep players engaged and motivated to invest in the game. Genshin Impact has surpassed $3 million in lifetime revenue.

GTA V Online — $7.7 Billion

Released in 2013, Rockstar Games’ open-world crime game Grand Theft Auto V recently became the second highest-grossing game of all time, second to Minecraft. Yet its massive commercial success and critical acclaim didn’t stop there, as it extended to GTA V Online. GTA V Online grants players an expansive sandbox in Los Santos City, free to roam around and engage in many activities, from heists, to races, casual activities with friends, or just the play sadistic fun of causing chaos in the server. According to the game’s publisher, Take-Two Interactive, GTA V Online has reportedly made over $7 billion since its release, with most of this figure made up through microtransactions.

PUBG Mobile — $9 Billion

Before Fortnite and Apex Legends existed, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is credited with popularizing the battle royale genre. While the original PC release is still comfortably sitting near the top of Steam’s daily player count, it is PUBG Mobile that broke the bank, recently exceeding $10 billion in cumulative sales. PUBG Mobile exploded in success during the lockdown in March 2020, where it earned an estimated $270 million monthly.

Despite PUBG Mobile’s outstanding revenue, it’s not a pay-to-win game. Players spend money on battle passes, cosmetics, and gun skins to look good on the battlefield. Additionally, PUBG Mobile has an extremely lucrative esports industry, which is especially popular in China, India, the United States, and Japan.

Honor of Kings — $16 Billion

Honor of Kings (also known as Arena of Valor in its international adaptation) is a multiplayer online battle arena developed and published by Tencent Games. Honor of Kings holds the title of the highest-grossing mobile game, earning $1.65 billion in revenue in 2022, overtaking PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact. The prize pools in Honor of King’s frequent tournaments tower over most other esports, notably giving out $10 million during the 2022 International Championship.

Fortnite — $26 Billion

Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, has become a global cultural phenomenon with its battle royale gameplay and vibrant, constantly evolving world. The game’s free-to-play model allows anyone to jump in, but its success lies in its sale of V-Bucks, an in-game currency used to purchase cosmetic items, emotes, and battle passes. The regular introduction of new skins, limited-time events, and collaborations with pop culture franchises (such as Marvel and Star Wars) keeps players engaged and eager to spend. With all these big name collaborations, it’s no wonder Fortnite made an estimated $26 billion in revenue.

Fortnite’s engaging gameplay, dynamic building mechanics, and cross-platform compatibility have made it a social hub where players can connect with friends and participate in various modes, from casual play to competitive tournaments.

Dota 2: Winners of Patch 7.34

By

-

September 12, 2023

Dota 2’s Patch 7.34 might be the last main patch before the coveted The International 2023, and the balance team made sure to shake up the meta before the game’s grand tournament. In true Dota 2 fashion, Patch 7.34 introduced sweeping changes to many heroes and items, leaving players experimenting with tweaks and updates.

Whether it’s because of game-changing buffs, improved numerical values, or adjustments to items, the competitive landscape in Dota 2 has been significantly altered. Now that the dust has settled on the patch and the meta has somewhat stabilized, it’s clear which heroes are the most dominant in the meta.

Vengeful Spirit

Dota 2’s Patch 7.34 buffed Vengeful Spirit so drastically that she returned from obscurity to become a must-pick support for every game. Wave of Terror makes it a constant risk to trade against her because it now reduces attack damage on top of reducing armor. Additionally, her extended stun duration on Magic Missile means she can take favorable trades all game, especially with her new level 15 talent that further reduces armor.

Vengeful Spirit’s gameplan is to take an early Medallion of Courage and aggressively roam the map for fast ganks. The combined armor reduction from their ability and item will make even the tankiest strength heroes fear for their lives. Efficient Vengeful Spirit players will take advantage of Wave of Terror’s ability to stack Neutral Camps.

Treant Protector

Treant Protector boasts the highest winrate in Dota 2 in Patch 7.34, all thanks to a few numerical adjustments. Patch 7.34 increased the damage and healing of Leech Seed, solidifying his status as the best lane support. Treant Protector’s incredibly high auto-attack damage, crowd control, and sustain lets him walk all over his enemies during the laning stage, helping his lane partner secure early-game kills.

Treant Protector’s Aghanim’s Shard now considers Nature’s Grasp vines as trees, meaning that he can throw a slow from the jungle and walk up to the enemy to root them. Treant was always a strong defensive support, but his new shard lets him stalk through the mid-game, invading enemy camps to secure valuable pick-offs.

Invoker

Invoker is the lucky recipient of many great Dota 2’s 7.34 patch buffs. The most notable change is making him a Universal hero and then reworking the stats and effects of his abilities to match the transition better, such as giving Exort outgoing spell damage amplification. Moreover, some of his abilities were significantly buffed, like Tornado’s cyclone duration and granting Ghost Walk health and mana regeneration.

Hand of Midas’ shiny glow-up also accelerated Invoker’s tempo, as it now has two Transmutation charges. Invoker desperately needs levels for abilities, especially during the early stages, so the extra charge from Hand of Midas helps alleviate his issue. Invoker’s raw strength and versatility make him the top dog in Dota 2’s midlane.

Gyrocopter

Gyrocopter is dominating the meta due to all his consistent buffs, including his huge buff implemented during 7.34. His new Aghanim’s Scepter upgrade adds two Side Gunners that attack two units while Flak Cannon is active. These Side Gunners proc on-hit effects and attack modifiers so Gyrocopter can easily cleave through the enemy team. His natural area-of-effect prowess keeps problematic illusion heroes like Phantom Lancer and Naga Siren in check.

Gyrocopter can also outpace most carries, especially since he’s at his best with an item advantage during the mid-game. After grabbing Aghanim’s Scepter, his team can brute force objectives and towers. Then, after obtaining Satanic, it’s extremely difficult to kill Gyrocopter without a dedicated team.

Dawnbreaker

As a hero, Dawnbreaker has a fundamentally broken and overloaded kit, and the only way to tone her down is through numerical values. Patch 7.34 had many favorable changes that go towards Dawnbreaker’s way. Dawnbreaker received several small buffs to her base stats, abilities, and talents, with the best change letting her ultimate’s stun pierce through debuff immunity.

Furthermore, the game-changing buffs for Blademail enable her to become a tanky, frontline right-clicker who can respond to any fight around the map. Global presence is much more potent in Dota 2’s newly expanded map. Finally, Dawnbreaker is a versatile hero who can fit many roles, such as switching to a traditional tank or flexing to support. Dawnbreaker is a must-pick in Dota 2’s 7.34 meta.

Highest Career Earnings in Dota 2 Esports

By

September 8, 2023

Dota 2 has some of the largest prize pools in Esports, and the highest career earnings in Dota 2 will have you firing up the PC.

Every person who has the slightest interest in esports knows about the absurd prize pool in Dota 2 tournaments. The International prize pool peaked in 2021 with a $40 million prize pool, where most of it went to grand final winners: Team Spirit. The tournaments building up to the grand event also offer sizeable payouts, such as the $15 million prize spread among the competitors of the 2023 Riyahd Masters.

While the best professionals in the industry occasionally experience major winning streaks, the competition between teams is extremely close, especially with so much at stake. This article takes a quick loot at the most successful players in Dota 2 esports, and some of their biggest payouts.

Matumbaman — $4.9 Million

Finnish carry superstar Lasse “Matumbaman” Urpalainen had a long and successful professional Dota 2 career. Matumbaman’s rise to prominence began with his affiliation with the Finnish team 4 Anchors + Sea Captain. This early foray into the professional scene served as a stepping stone for his burgeoning talent. However, it was his joining the newly revamped Team Liquid in 2015, consisting of 5Jungz players, that set the stage for the remarkable chapter of his career. As the squad’s carry player, Matumbaman played an instrumental role in shaping Team Liquid’s identity during a time when the team was building its reputation as one of the strongest in the scene.

The crowning achievement of Matumbaman’s journey came in 2017, when Team Liquid cleanly swept the grand finals in the International, taking home nearly $11 million for the team. Matumbaman’s last professional appearance was placing third at TI11 after losing against Team Secret. Matumbaman’s humble personality and consistently strong performance earned him a place among the Dota 2 professionals with the highest career earnings.

Miracle — 4.9 Million

Amer “Miracle-” Al-Barkawi’s journey through Dota 2 esports is a tale of unmatched skill and monumental achievements. Rising from the ranks of pub players to becoming an international sensation, Miracle- has left an enduring mark on the competitive scene. He’s the most recognizable name in the scene, and even until now, rising midlaners are constantly compared to his peak performance and flashy plays.

Joining Team OG in 2015 and later Team Liquid, his reputation as a midlaner and carry with unparalleled mechanical prowess and hyper aggressive playstyle proved effective and entertaining. Miracle clinched out tournaments with huge prize pools, like the Frankfurt Major and Manila Major. His biggest payout was winning The International 2017 with Team Liquid for $11 million. Additionally, placing second in The International 2019 against OG still bagged the team nearly $4.5 million. Yet, beyond the accolades, Miracle-‘s humility and sportsmanship have made him a beloved figure in the esports community.

Team Spirit — $5 – $5.2 Million

Team Spirit, hailing from the CIS region, has become a shining example of a great underdog story in Dota 2 esports. In 2020, Team Spirit signed the up-and-coming roster of Yellow Submarine, later on adding Mira and Empire veteran Miposhka. Team Spirit had a rough road to barely qualify for TI10, and once there, they almost dropped out of the group stages. After falling to the loser’s bracket on their first match in the main event, Team Spirit kept their cool to claw their way back to the grand finals and win against the tournament’s favorites, PSG.LGD, winning $11 million. Since their TI showcase, Team Spirit has remained solid competitor in future tournaments, even winning the 2023 Riyahd Masters for $5 Million.

KuroKy — $5.3 Million

Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi’s impact on Dota 2 esports is a story of leadership and adaptability. Rising from Berlin, Germany, KuroKy started competing when Dota was a Warcraft mod, notably playing for mouseports. KuroKy went on to form Team Secret with Puppey in 2015, a former teammate from mousesports. KuroKy’s biggest claim to fame was leading Team Liquid to a clean grand final during The International 2017 as their captain. Currently, KuroKy isn’t playing professionally, instead taking a backseat to coach his own Dota 2 team, Nigma Galaxy.

2017-2018 OG — $5.7 to $7.1 million

The dominant OG team consisting of N0tail, JerAx, ana, Ceb, and Topson are the top five players with the highest career earnings in Dota 2 esports. They’re the only team to win two TIs back-to-back (TI8 and TI9), cementing their legendary status. As a team, OG’s unmatched understanding of the game lets them create unpredictable drafts. This flexibility is most evident in Topson’s unconventional mid-lane picks, like Monkey King and Gyrocopter with Diffusal Blade.

N0tail co-founded the organization with his longtime teammate, Fly. Even before the 2017 dream team, N0tail had a great record while building the organization, such as winning the Frankfurt Major, Manila Major, Boston Major, and Kiev Major. N0tail boasts the highest career earnings in the history of Dota 2 because of his consistency in winning or placing highly in numerous high-stakes tournaments.

League of Legends Teams with Most Grand Finals Appearance

By

September 7, 2023

The cream often rise to the top, and these teams have definitely set themselves apart with the most LoL grand finals appearances.

As an esport, League of Legends is extremely competitive, filled with upsets, clean sweeps, and close series. But ever so often, a team dominates the scene that it becomes all but expected for them to appear at the grand finals of most international events.

These squads exemplify skill and strategy, etching their names in esports history. Their recurrent presence showcases a devotion to mastery, pushing the boundaries of competition, which earns them millions of devoted fans and inspires players. This article will take a look at these commanding presences.

Royal Never Give Up (formerly Starhorn Royal Club) — 5

Royal Never Give Up (RNG) emerged as a powerhouse in China’s LPL scene. Royal Club had two consecutive grand finals appearances during Worlds, placing second in 2013 and 2014. Since then, the mechanically-gifted ADC Uzi has served as the team’s foundation. Additionally, their Jungler inSec popped off in 2014 with his flashy plays and innovative Lee Sin gameplay.

The team hadn’t seen a grand finals participation in international events until 2018 when RNG won the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) against Kingzone DragonX. The exhilarating clash showcased RNG’s prowess on the global stage, firmly solidifying their reputation as an international contender. Another spectacular achievement followed this victory, as RNG claimed the 2021 MSI title, triumphing over DWG Kia and reaffirming their dominance. Their victories didn’t stop there, as RNG continued to shine, defeating T1 in the grand finals of the 2022 MSI, marking their triumphant return to the winner’s circle.

Counter Logic Gaming — 7

Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), hailing from North America, first won an international event during the Season 6 Intel Extreme Masters, besting TSM. The event also included Worlds Season 1 winners Fnatic. CLG would go on to meet TSM in two more international event grand finals and often come up short, like during the IGN Proleague Season 4 and 2012 MLG Spring Championship.

CLG’s highest accomplishment was placing second in the 2016 MSI against then SK Telecom T1. All in all, Counter Logic Gaming appeared seven times in International Events.

Team SoloMid — 7

Team SoloMid (TSM), a household name in the North American scene, has had a rollercoaster of a journey. TSM had four finals participations in 2012, winning two: 2012 MLG Spring Championship and IGN Proleague Season 4 against CLG. The team led by midlaner Reginald would also clinch second place in the IEM Season VI – Global Challenge Kiev and MLG Summer Arena against Moscow Five and Azubu Blaze, respectively.

The “Bjergsen Era” led to several domestic victories and memorable rivalries. TSM’s win in IEM Season IX – World Championship against Team WE was their most notable win on the international grand stage. Lastly, ADC superstar Doublelift joining the team was just what they needed to win Rift Rivals 2017 – NA vs. EU versus Unicorns of Love. This was the seventh and last time TSM has appeared in the grand finals of an international event.

Fnatic — 8

Fnatic, Europe’s pride, boasts a storied history in LoL esports. Their charismatic leader, xPeke, pulled off the iconic backdoor in the 2013 Worlds, etching it into history. The next time the team participated in a Worlds grand final was their 2018 run, losing to champions Invictus Gaming.

Aside from that legendary Worlds Season 1 win, Fnatic tends to lose decisively in international events. Like with their clean sweep loss against SKT Telecom T1 in the IEM Season X – World Championship and another clean sweep loss against KT Rolster Bullets in the IEM Season 8 World Championship.

T1 (formerly SK Telecom T1) — 12

T1’s journey is a story of pure dominance. With three Worlds championships in 2013, 2015, and 2016, it became evident that the whole team was full of ace players, without even mentioning the unkillable demon king Faker. Despite their dominance, T1 is not without its fair share of upsets, like not winning a game in the grand finals of Worlds 2017 against Samsung Galaxy or the remarkably close series against DRX in Worlds 2022.
