A dev stream announced the Lunar New Year winner, Vainglory’s next hero Tony, and the Storm Queen’s Rise event. For those that couldn’t watch the stream live, we published an article with the full details.


FNATIC Takes a Step Back from Vainglory Esports

FNATIC has announced that they will be disbanding their Vainglory team composed of Deniz ‘nettetoilette’ Heinzelmann, Alessandro ‘Palmatoro’ Palmarini and Dennis ‘TetnoJJ’ Klaus. This follows in pursuit of Immortals and Cloud9, leaving worry for some investors. Nevertheless, we speculate that these organizations simply want to monitor the success of 5V5 and the VPL pre-season before committing to a roster and support staff lineup double the quantity of 3V3’s nature.
