So here I'm just gonna talk about some upcoming video games and competetive gaming.

Firstly some upcoming games. Just a note, if i didnt mention a big game it's either because i havent heard about it or I just don't like it. I won't be talking about FPS' as I don't enjoy them

Dynasty Warriors 8
Now I don't know how many people will look forward to this game or enjoy this series, but I certainly do. Maybe it's because I'm Chinese or maybe it's cuz I'm a mindless hack & slash slave, but it looks entertaining to me. I probably spent 80+ hours in Dynasty Warriors 6 and this one looks promising with what? like 80 playable characters? The quest to obtain Red Hare continues!

Dead or Alive 5 expansion thing
I'm not a huge DoA fan as you can probably tell from the name and I don't plan on getting this game... But an appropriately rated DoA game? It's worth a mention. I mean the main attraction of DoA is breasts and women, not gonna lie... But why do I need DoA when i have this next game.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
Lightning is back after 500 years of sleep, and just in time for the end of the world as well! I'm gonna admit, I didn't play XIII and I only had a few hours in XIII-2 before my file mysteriously got deleted and i rage quit, but alas, this game is too amazing! However I am kinda sad that SPOILER Serah is dead and Lightning is fighting alone. The developers have said that this will be the last game in the XIII series and we, the players shall receive some closure. R.I.P SPOilER Fang, Vanille, Yeul, Cauis, Etro and anyone else that I missed.

One of the main elements of this game will be time... You start with 7 days before the apocalypse and you earn more by doing quests to prolong the end of the world! You have to fight past friends as they believe that Serah predicted the end of the world before dieing, they say she predicted that a female hero would come and destroy the world, then on the last day a male hero would come and save everyone. They believed this female is Lightning.

Now lets talk about Lightning's new getup. In XIII she looked mature, wearing clothes like she couold be a shapeship captain, I think this suited her very well (Final Fantasy wiki for pictures). In XIII-2 she was wearing angelic like armour which I also think was very cool, especially that seraphim feather, Ezio cape thing on her leg and badass gunblade. Now in Lightning Returns she has the most badass outfit. She has a black torso piece and some badass capes and of course... we can't forget badass sunglasses at night XD (again refer to FF wiki for pictures)

Looking forward to this game, I really am. Can't wait for 2014 (although Japan gets it in November)

Starcraft II
I havent really been keeping up with the pro scene for a while, but if anyone wishes to enlighten me please go again

League of Legends
I havent had a chance to watch the OGN or CPL yet so I'll only talk about the NA LCS, in specific, 3 teams, TSM, Cloud 9 and CLG, I root for CLG :). So I think TSM was expect to be on top since they won the spring split, but I think they have really been underperforming and not been able to keep up with some of the other teams that are moving forward. Now C9, the current team on top with probably the fastest, strongest, most aggresive, most divey team in the split. I think the way to beat them is to win when they are outside their comfort zone, namely he late game. But to do this, you gotta keep up in the early game, and the way to do this is to trade objectives and match their fast play style, we saw this out of CLG and Vulcun, who are argueably the strongest late game teams in the split. And finally CLG, they have had some roster changes and drops and additions to the team, with Nien now top, Bigfat in Jungle, and Chauster in support while Doublelift and link remain in the same positions. I think this is a really strong change as Nien can often add a 3rd threat to the team, especially since bigfat always goes full tank. They are probably, in my opinion the strongest late game team, especially if you let Double have Tristana.

Ok, thats it for now, look forward to hearing what games you are looking foward to and your opinions on competetive gaming!
