Lakshya, who won the Bulgarian International in August, led the Indian team to a sixth-place finish in the World Team Championships at the same venue last week. In women’s singles, the eighth seeded Aakarshi Kashyap too was impressive in her second round match. She demolished Egypt’s Hana Hesham Mohamed 21-9, 21-4 in just 15 minutes to set up a third round meeting with Czech shuttler, Lucie Krpatova.

With the NHL’s 2021 season now set to begin on Jan. 13, this year’s tournament features not only some of the brightest prospects for the upcoming draft but also a number of players who will crack NHL opening night rosters. For now, though, their sights are set on national pride and future locker room bragging rights. It will be an all-out slugfest until medals are handed out. Sporting News asked some of the top experts in the game for their picks for players to watch/X-factors, tournament MVP and which three teams will be skating off with shiny new medals come Jan....

A few years ago, CCP Games announced that they will be working with a brand new IP in their MMO iteration of White Wolf’s long running World of Darkness pen-and-paper RPG series. This was welcome news, especially considering they have been working on a single game, EVE Online, since it launched in May 2003. In a recent interview, the Community Developer for CCP/White Wolf, Shane DeFreest has stated the following regarding plans for their fan event The Grand Masquerade:...

However, most players would likely agree that the most exciting addition to the long-running World of Warcraft is the inclusion of dragon riding. As expected, players can now obtain different types of dragons to move around the map. The system includes the ability to raise and customize dragons as well as use them through a momentum-based flight system along with different aerial skills to show off.

World of Warcraft players have encountered a glitch in the Primal Storms pre-expansion event for Dragonflight just hours before it ends for good. This apparent bug is preventing some World of Warcraft players from earning an achievement and reward associated with the Dragonflight pre-patch event. During the Primal Storms pre-expansion event for Dragonflight, elemental forces invade select locations across Azeroth. During the event, players battle elementals until they can strike down a powerful elemental boss, earning currency and progress toward the Against the Elements achievement....

Both of the new models have more detailed armor and faces then their in-game models, and have extra accessories, like quivers and backup weapons. These detailed models, including one for Tyrande’s spirit owl companion, Dori’thur, fit the level of quality often used in World of Warcraft cinematics. Sylvanas doesn’t appear to have any hands, but considering Tyrande’s hands are also rendered wrong, this is more likely a glitch than a story beat....

The Secrets of Ulduar patch for Wrath of the Lich King Classic heralds the return of the titular Ulduar raid. Players can delve into the depths of the ancient Titan facility to learn the forgotten history of the Titans, battle the corrupted Keepers, and face down the World of Warcraft Old God Yogg-Saron. RELATED: World of Warcraft Player Finds ‘Justice League’ Group in Game The ancient gates of Ulduar open on January 19 at 3 p....

The return of the dragon aspects to World of Warcraft also means Dragonflight will be full of dragon lore. The dragons have had a long history on Azeroth, with not all of it being portrayed in-game. Many fans may be rusty when it comes to the specifics of the dragon lore, but World of Warcraft has received many tie-in novels over the years, and a decent amount of them have touched on the topic of dragons that could be read before the expansion rolls around....

As the years went by, Blizzard Entertainment would come to employ this format during the content drought periods of an expansion pack, offering World of Warcraft players exclusive mounts and transmogrification outfits in exchange for guaranteeing their subscription for the next six months of the game’s content cycle. These subscription offers became frequent enough that many players started to take notice, and even criticize what they felt was a predatory business practice....

World of Warcraft is still dominating the MMO genre and is gearing up to bring players to the Dragon Isles in Dragonflight. New players join Azeroth constantly, but some tend to be put off by the behavior of other players. Sometimes players refuse to help new players, they bash them for the simplest of questions, they choose to harass others, and they make the game worse for most players. Amid ongoing lawsuits, Blizzard wants to make Azeroth a more welcoming community and as such has shown off its new social contract for World of Warcraft....

While Warcrafttries to ensure a balance between Class builds, certain Classes work best in other roles except the DPS. Certain Classes just fail to dominate PVP circles, just as others work so well with their damage output. Just which Classes work best as DPS? Updated on 16 November 2022 by Rhenn Taguiam: With the Dragonflight expansion of World of Warcraft finally bringing back the fabled Dragon Aspects back into the world of Azeroth after their isolation, fans of the hit MMO would probably want to maximize the content available in Shadowlands while it remains the prevalent expansion of the time....

Macroalgae is a term used to to refer to seaweeds and other large-celled marine algae which can usually be seen with the naked eye. The bloom—which has been dubbed the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB)—is so vast that it stretches for around 5,500 miles from the coast of West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, an international team of scientists said. Consisting primarily of sargassum—a type of brown seaweed—the GASB weighs a staggering 20 million tons....

The batsmen faced some tough conditions in the last two matches, but they managed to get to fighting totals. The bowlers too have stepped up their game in these matches and took the onus upon themselves to ensure a victory for India. India is currently at the second position in the points table whereas England are placed 4th. Now, India will square off against the hosts in a high octane clash at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on 27th June, in match 38 of the ICC World Cup 2019....

India had been searching for a reliable no.4 option in the batting order and plenty of batsmen had auditioned for it. The likes of Dinesh Karthik, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey and KL Rahul were tried and tested but none had delivered enough to convince the team management to seal the deal (apart from the fact that Rahul is now considered as the third opener) and their inconsistent failure opened up the door for Ambati Rayudu to make his mark....

It was a clinical team performance as skipper Aaron Finch scored a century under testing conditions and his bowling troops defended the score comfortably with Jason Behrendorff and Mitchell Starc taking five and four wickets respectively. England got off to a disastrous start in their pursuit of 285 as Behrendorff and Starc reduced them to 26-3. Just when one would have thought that England will look to fight it out, Jonny Bairstow played a poor shot to return back for a 39-ball 27....

But just when things were looking good, Dhawan’s injury break would have brought a sigh to many. Maybe not to Dinesh Karthik or Vijay Shankar though, as one among the two is highly likely to come into the playing XI for the next 3 weeks. This promises to be a big loss for India as Dhawan’s form in ICC events has always been great, which he claims to be a fortunate coincidence....

Like mascots, they are a way to build hype and share in the excitement around a World Cup, and that has continued for the Qatar showpiece. The official song for World Cup 2022 was announced earlier this year, and was performed at the draw ceremony for the finals in Doha on April 1. Here, we take a closer listen to the anthem, and also a look back at some of the now famous songs that have echoed around the stadiums of previous World Cups....
