The Hallow’s End event is already live now, so players can start their holiday journey as soon as they are ready. Before heading out into Azeroth and getting started, Game Rant has some advice on how to best take advantage of all of the activities and buffs available....
Phase 3 of World of Warcraft Classic has been planned for release in early 2020 for a long while now. It may not not be arriving exactly as Blizzard planned, but it’s close enough. Blizzard decided to split off the PvP part of Phase 3 and release it early. The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds were launched on December 10, marking the start of the Phase 3 transition. The PvE portion of Phase 3 remains on schedule....
The modern Recruit A Friend program in World of Warcraft returned with an Explorer’s League theme, as players participating in the system can now earn several new mounts and outfits by completing quests with their recruit. In addition to recruiting newcomers to World of Warcraft, the system also targets returning players, as prior to Dragonflight, people could use the Recruit A Friend program on friends who haven’t been subscribed for at least two years....
One of the biggest changes arriving in WoW Shadowlands is the level squish. Rather than increasing the level cap to 125 or 130, Shadowlands bumps all max players down to level 50 and makes level 60 the max once again, just like the old days. The grind from 1-50 for new characters is going to greatly decrease the amount of time it currently takes to reach the latest expansion content, but some World of Warcraft players seem to be finding exploits that reduce the leveling time a lot more than Blizzard intended…...
All the talk on Thursday, a day after Jon Lester struck out eight St. Louis Cardinals over 7 2/3 shutout innings in the Boston Red Sox's 8-1 victory in Game 1, was about whether the left-hander was so successful because he was doctoring the baseball. This wasn't just idle fan chatter, either. The source of the cheating accusation was Cardinals minor league pitcher Tyler Melling, who took to Twitter on Wednesday night to ask, "Jon Lester using a little Vaseline inside the glove tonight?...
In fact, he's so self-confident that he figures he could have taken this year's Boston Red Sox roster to the World Series, too. Valentine didn't get the chance because he was fired after one lousy season as Sox skipper and replaced by former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell. SN AWARDS: Farrell named AL Manager of the Year Valentine made his bold claim to The Boston Globe on Tuesday. Did he make a compelling case?...
RFS director general Alexander Alayev has been named acting president of the governing body after the decision was announced following a session of its Executive Board on Monday. Mutko, who is Russia’s deputy prime minister, was banned by the IOC this month after the release of the Schmid Report, commissioned by the IOC, confirmed allegations of widespread manipulation of anti-doping procedures during his tenure as Russian sports minister, chiefly at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi....
When Sourav Ganguly and co. were decimated by the Kangaroos in the finals of the World Cup 2003, India bounced back strongly in these two teams’ next 50-over World Cup encounter in 2011. Yuvraj Singh starred in a superb run-chase to send the Aussies packing in the quarterfinals itself. When these two sides met again in the semifinals of the World Cup 2015, Australia batted first and set an insurmountable target of 329....
Azharuddin also explained why England will not be able to qualify for the semi-finals despite boasting of a superior squad. In case you didn’t know… India came out as winners after inflicting a crushing defeat to the West Indies in the 34th match of World Cup at the Old Trafford that ensured that the Virat Kohli-led side remained unbeaten in this tournament. As a result of their win, India have virtually sealed their place in the semi-finals....
In case you didn’t know… Ronaldo is an inspiration for a host of athletes around the globe due to his excellence in football and arduous training regime, which has kept him shredded and agile, despite being 34 years old. After spending nine seasons with Spanish giants Real Madrid, the Portuguese joined Italian outfit Juventus last summer. In what has been an ornamented career so far, Ronaldo has won five UEFA Champions League titles and five Ballon d’Ors amongst numerous other individual and collective honours....
It is the first time that the fans have engaged in a physical clash in any of the recent ICC events. However, the council has taken it into consideration and issued a statement condemning the same. In case you didn’t know… Afghanistan and Pakistan faced-off against each other in the first of the two games on 29 June 2019. There had been a huge excitement among the Pakistani fans ahead of this match, as their team entered the fixture on the back of two consecutive wins, against South Africa and New Zealand....
However, things began to fall apart for Pakistan right from the toss when India was put in to bat on a flat track. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul made the most of the Pakistan bowlers’ lack of variation as they put up a 136-run partnership and laid a solid platform to take India to a commendable total of 336/5 from 50 overs. Pakistan’s chase, barring a 104-run partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam had nothing to speak of as India registered a comfortable 89-run victory....
Pakistan Vs Afghanistan In the first match, Afghanistan batted first and posted a competitive 228-7 on the board. Rahmat Shah, Asghar Afghan and Najibullah Zadran all came up with handy knocks but none of the three managed to convert their starts into at least a half-century. For Pakistan, Shaheen Shah Afridi was the star with a ball as he took a 4-wicket haul to restrict Afghanistan. Chasing 229 to win, Pakistan got off to a very bad start as they lost Fakhar Zaman off just the second delivery of the inning....
Rashid Khan was extremely poor with his line and length on the day and his indiscipline was used gleefully by the English. Skipper Eoin Morgan was especially harsh against Rashid as he cracked seven sixes off the leg spinner. Eventually, England ended up with 397/6 after the end of 50 overs. The world #3 ODI bowler, Rashid Khan didn’t have a good World Cup even before this match. This forgettable day only worsened his already bad tournament....
Wellington, Feb 5 (PTI) They have hit the homestretch of a memorable three-month tour and a rampant India will be fancying another series win when they clash with under pressure hosts New Zealand in the opening T20 International here on Wednesday. While regular skipper Virat Kohli is getting the much-needed rest, the Rohit Sharma-led squad will be hoping it has enough left in the tank to record a maiden T20 series win in New Zealand, following a record 4-1 result in ODIs and a historic tour of Australia....
Then there are people like Mario Thissen, a gamer who raged so bad he broke his PlayStation 3 controller, then had the nerve to blame not the game, but the actual soccer player that Thissen was using. Here’s what happened: Thissen was playing a FIFA game, when the in-game player he was using, soccer star Mario Götze, missed a game-winning penalty kick, causing Thissen to lose the game. Thissen was so upset that he smashed his controller, rendering it useless....
World number four Smith is through to his third world final after he claimed the final four sets to end the memorable run of Germany’s Gabriel Clemens, 6-2, in the opening last four clash. The first four sets all went the distance and with throw, but Smith stopped that sequence with a 3-0 win in set five before breaking Clemens in set six. Smith, the reigning Grand Slam champion - who hit 19 180s in the match - then chalked up the next two sets for victory....
Boasting a roster of 19 first-round picks between the last two draft classes, the Canadians have the talent to win gold for the first time on home soil since 2015, when Toronto and Montreal split hosting duties. Due to COVID-19, everything will be held in Edmonton, Alta., and a province the country hopes to be atop the podium in for the first time since 1995. (Canada finished third in 2012 when Calgary and Edmonton played hosts)....

Eternity’s End takes World of Warcraft players to the realm of Zerith Mortis, a primordial place that once served as forge for the ancient First Ones to craft the multiverse. Though fascinating in its own right, many players were dismayed that the story seemed to be so detached from the world of Azeroth most of World of Warcraft takes place on.
