German top seed Kerber saved three set points before a forehand error from Czech Kvitova handed the U.S. Open champion a tense first-set tiebreak. But Kvitova, showing the battling qualities that have brought her two Wimbledon titles, fought back to force a decider. Kvitova, seeded 14th, broke Kerber early in the third set to lead 4-2 and despite struggling with cramp, she held her nerve to convert her seventh match point after three hours and 20 minutes on court....

To begin, players must complete the short introductory questline in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, take a boat or zeppelin to the Dragon Isles, and finish a handful of quests on the Waking Shores.

Although the much anticipated Scourge invasion event won’t be available initially, the first part of the pre-patch introduces most of the framework that Shadowlands will run on. Along with WoW’s first level squish, all classes are getting old abilities back while every race is getting new customization options.

Throughout its history, World of Warcraft mounts have more often than not left unused color variations on the cutting room floor. While the same can be said for Hunter pets, these mount versions were often requested by players eager to complete a collection or to have that specific shade of purple to match their character’s transmog. The introduction of the Trading Post to World of Warcraft allows Blizzard the perfect avenue to finally give the players what they want at little-to-no development cost....

Of course, that’s understandable, since most players are focusing on one thing: character progression. Few things are as satisfying in World of Warcraft as watching a character become the legendary monster they were always destined to be. For many players, this means a DPS build; focusing on pouring as much damage as possible into an enemy in the shortest amount of time. These are vital for raids and dungeons, so here’s a little guide to the best DPS builds in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands....

In the past, login screens have reflected important locations within the World of Warcraft universe such as the Dark Portal, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and most recently, the Ruins of Lordaeron. In addition to those places, Wrath of the Lich King players should fondly remember the image of Icecrown Citadel from over a decade ago. But after so many years, many more fans will be delighted to know the next login screen will once again feature the dreaded structure in Northrend....

In the years leading up to the Third War, the Cult of the Damned was formed by Kel’Thuzad to serve the Lich King’s diabolical plans. This Scourge organization was responsible for unleashing the plague in Lordaeron during Warcraft 3 and would become major antagonists alongside the more powerful undead in vanilla World of Warcraft through Wrath of the Lich King. Though the cult had become a non-factor after Arthas’ defeat, it seems both they and other high-ranking Scourge have now returned under the Jailer’s command....

The chart was shared by Redditor and World of Warcraft fan Tyrsenus. The new comparison chart was an updated version of the one they had posted before the launch of Shadowlands.

Here’s Brack on the obstacles of transitioning a PC MMO to a console: Brack also mentions how World of Warcraft carries a memory commitment of around 15GB. Many Xbox 360s don’t even have a hard drive, or are limited to around 20GB. This final quote wraps the whole situation up: There you have it World of Warcraft fans, it’s safe to say that if there isn’t a console version in development as we speak there isn’t likely to ever be one....

The dracthyr are a new draconic World of Warcraft race being added in Dragonflight. The dracthyr come as one part of the new Evoker class – a wielder of dragon magic who devastates foes and restores their allies.

The midfield is not too shabby either with players like Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba expected to dominate the middle of the park, providing a screen for the back four while at the same time pushing forward to support the very good attack. The defence, especially the centre, promises to be interesting. FC Barcelona’s Samuel Umtiti & Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane are, injury-permitting, guaranteed to be on the plane to France and with the Achilles injury suffered by Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny in last night’s Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, PSG’s Presnel Kimpembe is now expected to be manager Didier Deschamps’ third choice centre-back....

At the start of the tournament, expectations were relatively low and a place in the quarter-finals would have been considered a success but that is not the case right now. England defeated Sweden 2-0 to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup courtesy of goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli. This will be England’s first semi-final in 28 years. This English side has defied expectations and after years look like a well drilled cohesive unit rather than a group of clueless individuals....
