The Mage Tower itself was a high-difficulty solo challenge introduced during the Legion expansion. It contains seven different encounters, each of which can be accessed by a specific set of class specializations. RELATED: World of Warcraft: Zone Map Update Potentially Hints At Next Expansion’s Villain Blizzard’s recent announcement confirmed the Mage Tower would be returning on March 29th and would no longer be tied to the Legion Timewalking event. While Timewalking events usually lasted a week or two, they would be separated by several months, meaning players who were unable to complete all the Mage Tower challenges in time would have to wait to try them again....

With news that The Burning Crusade expansion is finally coming to WoW Classic soon, fans are likely very excited about having the older content to go through. Though WoW Classic had a wealth of interesting questlines, fans will likely agree that being able to experience the narrative of The Burning Crusade, and having additional races and classes will incentivize more players to continue their subscription. This means that players will likely find more ways to challenge themselves with the raids and dungeons added into the game by the expansion....

The images tease two new flying mounts and four new terrestrial mounts so far, including a parrot mount, a giant toad mount, and even a crocodile mount. Blizzard is yet to confirm how players will be able to obtain these mounts and whether there will be a wider selection of mounts available in addition to the Seabird Stallion mount for the Alliance and the Gilded Rasavor mount for the Horde that players get with the Digital Deluxe edition of the game after the expansion’s release....

Paladins were originally exclusive to the Alliance in World of Warcraft until the release of The Burning Crusade, which is when Blood Elves were introduced with the formerly inaccessible class. Many World of Warcraft fans have become Horde Paladins since this change, and Blood Elf Paladins are able to unlock the Blood Knight’s Dedication armor set with the new patch. Other main World of Warcraft races that have similar heritage armor sets include Dwarves, Goblins, Gnomes, Tauren, and Worgen, with all of them being strong Transmogrification options....

The Welsh champions had surpassed a record for consecutive top-flight wins set by Johann Cruyff’s mighty Ajax in the 1970s two weeks ago, but their return to action brought the streak to an end. The Messi stat to make Ronaldo jealous TNS had shown their title-winning mettle to battle back from a goal down and go 3-1 up - a lead they held with 10 minutes remaining on the clock....

First of all, there’s the pitch itself. It was not a case of Syndergaard throwing at Escobar. Certainly, there is danger in it if he missed his spot, but there is inherent danger in any inside pitch. This particular pitch, while it was way up, was not so far inside as to truly put Escobar in harm’s way. In order to get hit, he would have had to basically be out of the batter’s box....

Despite the increase in players that Blizzard reported over the 2013 holiday season, it seems things are slowing down once again for the decade-old MMO. During the latest earnings call, Activision confirmed that the game has lost 800,000 subscribers between April 1 and June 30. That means that WoW had roughly 6.8 million subscribers at the end of June, bringing the community down to its lowest population since 2006....

The 2018 World Cup was no different as we got to see several pieces of innovation from managers right from Gareth Southgate’s set-pieces to Juan Carlos Osorio’s counter-attacking Mexican side that helped end the German dynasty. Other moves failed as Jorge Sampaoli’s pressing style led to a miserable Round of 16 for Argentina. So what are some tactical takeaways from this FIFA World Cup? Note: All Statistics (unless otherwise mentioned) are courtesy of WhoScored...

It was a fitting finale to one of the greatest ever World Cup and this World Cup will be cherished for some major changes as well as some breathtaking footballing action. There were loads of surprises, goals, as well as some controversial decisions. But more importantly, there are a few things for which this World Cup will be remembered for. So, without further ado, here are the 3 things which make this World Cup worth remembering:...

Italy missed out on their first World Cup in sixty years, ensuring players like Buffon, Chiellini missed the tournament. Holland also missed qualification, ensuring players like Van Persie and Robben miss the tournament. Alexis Sanchez and Chile also missed out on qualifying to the World Cup in Russia. As if these surprises were not enough, the tournament in Russia has proved to be really surprising and unpredictable as the qualifying series....

Things were looking so hopeful for them coming into the semi-finals. They were one of just three teams, along with Croatia and Uruguay, to win all three of their group games, easing through to the round of 16. They showed their character in the second round, coming from two goals down to beat Japan, with Nacer Chadli scoring a last-minute winner. They produced a superb performance in the quarter final against Brazil, looking strong in all areas of the pitch as they won 2-1 to progress to the semi-finals....

There are big guns who will be worried about their progress in the competition, those concerned that they might not be stretched enough early on, and, of course, sides delighted by the prospects the draw has thrown up. Here is Goal’s quick guide to the winners and losers… WINNERS ENGLAND Having been seeded second, there were fears that Gareth Southgate’s side could be landed in a tricky group, but instead they have a pool that they should feel is very manageable....

Although the hosts are the clear favourites on paper, they cannot afford to take this Afghanistan side lightly. Eoin Morgan’s men have looked solid if not spectacular in this tournament. They suffered a shock defeat to Pakistan, but turned things around nicely by winning their next two games, against Bangladesh and West Indies respectively. Afghanistan, on the other hand, are yet to pick up a point and will be desperate to cause an upset on Tuesday....

In case you didn’t know.. Pakistan have come back strong following their shambolic 89-run defeat against their bitter rivals India. The Men in Green are on course to repeat their 1992 World Cup triumph having won their last three matches to stay alive in the tournament. However, India’s loss against England has changed the scenarios for their qualification. However, if New Zealand can beat England in their next fixture, it takes Pakistan through to the semi-final if they beat Bangladesh in their last group-stage fixture....

And in a very surprising twist of fortune, Pakistan triumphed and that too in a huge manner against England. Not only did they shrug off the 0-4 drubbing they received prior to the World Cup against England but they managed to do that rather well. They will be up against a side that managed to save face and defeat Afghanistan in their last outing. Their batting seems very fragile, disoriented and weak and would be seriously tested against Amir & Co....

In what has been a disastrous start to their quest for a maiden World Cup title, South Africa have lost all three of their opening games. A slew of injuries has only gone on to hurt them even more, with star players Dale Steyn and Lungi Ngidi missing from action. West Indies, on the other hand, clinched a handsome seven-wicket win over Pakistan in their opening encounter and ran Australia close in their second match, only to lose by an agonizing 15-run margin....

The Indian team will be up against New Zealand in their third match of the tournament. Like India, New Zealand has been unbeaten in the tournament so far and will present a strong challenge for the Indian team. The pace trio of Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson have bowled well in tandem with good support from Mitchell Santner and Jimmy Neesham. However, the Kiwis have played against lighter opponents in Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and they will have an uphill task against an in-form Indian team....

An impressive bowling performance restricted New Zealand to a total of 237-6 and the duo of Babar Azam and Haris Sohail came up with terrific knocks to thwart a strong Kiwi bowling effort that laid the path for a comfortable win for Pakistan. With them having a feel of the conditions, Pakistan would have been fully aware that this chase of 238 was never going to be a cakewalk. Their openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ul Haq tried to counter New Zealand’s new ball bowlers by being positive....

Winning the toss on a wicket that looked a bit dry, Sarfaraz Khan elected to bowl and batting first, India scored 336 runs for the loss of 5 wickets with Rohit Sharma being the top scorer with 140 runs off just 113 balls. Chasing a mammoth total, Pakistan were never in the game and after rain curtailed the game to 40 overs and target revised to 302, Pakistan scored 212 runs for the loss of 6 wickets....
