The Albion Online site has been updated with a look at the persistent mount system coming with the next update. Players will be able to be “temporarily dismounted” when, for instance, gathering crafting materials but as long as they stay within a certain distance of the mount, the load bonus will not be lost. In addition, mount health and player health will be disconnected with the update.
Sony to Integrate ESL Tournaments into their PlayStation 4 Tournaments Feature
With the upcoming dashboard update to the PlayStation 4 bringing a dedicated tournament app to the console, Sony has partnered with ESL to natively integrate ESL tournaments into their service. This means once players have linked their ESL account to their PSN ID, signing up and keeping track of tournaments is easier than ever.
With Mortal Kombat X having its home with the ESL, it will be one of the first games added to the tournaments system. The ESL will be holding almost daily Community Cups for Mortal Kombat X, with larger regional cups running on Sundays. These regional cups will have top 4s streamed on your region’s ESL Twitch channel, so expect stalwart Mortal Kombat commentators PND|Ketchup and Mustard hosting the European stream, for example.
With the ESL’s foray into Street Fighter V with events like King of the Hill and Brooklyn Beatdown, it is possible that it too will be integrated into the tournament app, allowing easy qualifier events to be run without the hassle of using separate apps to organize an online event.

Luminosity Gaming Grows Its Super Smash Bros. Roster by Signing Mustafa “Ice” Akcakaya
Off the back of his landmark third place placing at The Big House 6 earlier this month, Luminosity Gaming has signed Super Smash Bros. Melee player, Mustafa “Ice” Akcakaya to their fledgling roster. He joins Smash 4 player Yuta “Abadango” Kawamura as part of the team’s expansion into the world of fighting games, acting as the first Melee player to join Luminosity.
Known for his smooth movement, creative punish game and mastery of Fox tech skill, Ice is developing at a rapid rate as a player, despite having very few top level opponents to practice against in his hometown of Berlin. In a quote from CEO of Luminosity Gaming Steve Maida, he stated the team is “happy to support a rising talent like Mustafa. With that support, we fully anticipate he will polish his skills even further and cement himself as one of the best Melee players in the World. I’m looking forward to cheering him on this weekend at Eclipse 2.”
On top of competing at Eclipse 2 in Norway this weekend, Ice is also in the running for Smash Summit 3 in November, fighting for one of the final spots at this invitational tournament. With this recent happy news and stellar performance at The Big House 6, I imagine Ice should sail over the line and make it safely to the Summit. You may see Ice at more US tournaments in the future anyway, as according to ESPN Esports, he is currently applying for an athletic visa thanks to this signing and plans to move to the USA if he is approved.

There are a lot of things in fighting games that players will intuit, as opposed to actively thinking about; one of those things is using normal moves against crouching opponents.

To that end, we have here a compilation of all normal moves vs. crouching opponents and their hit effects, coming from Gato Ray.
Some of these cases of course changed with the latest patch as well, so a follow-up video was uploaded to cover all of the normals that have been changed in 1.03.
