Activision have just dropped the multiplayer Call of Duty<\/a>: Black Ops Cold War trailer. The company released the first trailer after a video was leaked of the multiplayer game.<\/p>\n The 3:17 official trailer gives players a taste of what they can expect when the game goes live on November 13. As seen in the clip, Cold War promises excellent graphics and tons of action.<\/p>\n From battling on ships in the Atlantic ocean, through the deserts in Angola, to combat in Miami\u2019s streets, there\u2019s a lot to look forward to in the coming launch.<\/p>\n The League of Legends<\/a> World Championships is quickly approaching as teams make their way to Shanghai for their 14-day quarantine period ahead of the first games. The campaign is set to start on September 25, with teams finding out this week who they\u2019ll be up against.<\/p>\n However, this year some familiar faces will be missing. Cloud9 have had a dismal year and didn\u2019t make the cut, and neither did the 2019 champions, FunPlus Phoenix. Other notable teams that\u2019ll be missing include Invictus Gaming and T1.<\/p>\n There\u2019ll also be no Vietnamese groups this year as the country is experiencing severe travel restrictions due to COVID-19. As a result, Riot Games have shuffled the qualifiers slightly and reduced the amount of participating teams to 22.<\/p>\n You can expect to see some new and old faces with those that have made it for the group stage and the play-ins. DAMWON Gaming, DRX, Fnatic, Gen.G, and Top Esport are just a few of the 12 seeded into the group stage, while the play-ins include Rainbow7, MAD Lions, and Team Liquid among the 10.<\/p>\n The Cairo-based esports team Anubis have seeded $300,000 from an ecommerce group. Last month the organization raised $100,000, bringing the total funding in investments to $450,000.<\/p>\n Anubis have rosters for LoL, Counter-Strike<\/a>, and Crossfire, and they plan to expand by adding more players to compete in different games. Youssef Mohsen, the organization’s founder, says that they\u2019re planning to use the investment funds to bring in new players, international coaches and launch an apparel line. <\/p>\n Anubis have achieved more than 20 titles since launching in 2015. They are the first African team to reach a high level since becoming the regional champions in Crossfire and participating in the world championship playoffs. <\/p>\n Alex \u201cALEX\u201d McMeekin is the first player to sign to Cloud9 since the organization announced plans to rebuild their CS: GO roster. The British Counter-Strike player has reportedly penned a three-year deal worth US $1.65 million.<\/p>\n The new GM, Henry “HenryG” Greer, announced the news via Twitter with details about the philosophy he\u2019d like to bring to the team. There\u2019s no news yet about any other signings, but we at eSportsBet.com<\/a> will keep you up to date with any developments.<\/p>\n Rodrigo \u201cLelis\u201d Santos, the Brazilian offlaner that plays for Quincy Crew, has won a Mercedes-Benz and a share of $28,000 after winning the ESL One Thailand 2020 MVP award.<\/p>\nAsia<\/h2>\n
