World of Warcraft – Blizzard Takes Aim, Closes Newly Opened TBC Private Server

Blizzard has taken aim, fired and closed another ‘private’ server called Felmyst. The server opened mere days ago, dedicated to WoW through The Burning Crusade. Many sites covered the US-based server, perhaps bringing it to Blizzard’s attention. The site is now closed with a letter from the ‘owner’ named Gummy with an image of the Cease and Desist letter from Blizzard’s legal department.

Kenny Omega and Xavier Woods run it back in Tekken 7 in this hilarious skit from CEO 2017

At CEO 2016, New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Kenny Omega and the WWE’s Austin Creed (A.K.A. Xavier Woods), faced off in a first-to-five Street Fighter V exhibition match following a war of words across social media, Wood’s YouTube gaming Channel UpUpDownDown, and even WWE and NJPW programming. Ultimately Omega and his Alex claimed victory over Woods’ Birdie, granting the Bullet Club leader possession of the CEO Championship.

Now, one year later, the two have returned to CEO 2017. Though the extravagant lifestyle of being a Champion, as well as a member of The Elite, has appeared to dull “The Cleaner’s” edge. Noticing this, Woods looks to take revenge in the newly-released battleground of Tekken 7. Will Omega’s Bryan Fury be able to “clean up” Xavier? Or will the Power of Positivity and the costume of Omega’s rival, IWGP Champion Kazuchika “Rainmaker” Okada, be able to guide Woods and his King to victory? Find out in the two-part encounter below. Be advised there is a bit of NSFW language used by Omega!

Capcom Fighters interview Smug about Evo 2017, his match against Abao and how to improve Balrog

Following their talk with Evo 2017 champion Tokido, Capcom Fighters have released another interview from the show, with community manager Matt Edwards talking to Duff City mayor RISE|Smug. Alongside discussing Smug’s history with fighting games, Edwards asks how Smug would improve Balrog, what he learned from his loss to Qanba|Abao and the backstory behind his rivalry with Infused|Imstilldadaddy.

Before Evo, Smug admits that he didn’t really study his opponents before a tournament — he would just jump into the match and hope for the best. That strategy came back to bite him against Abao, who clearly had prepared for the Balrog match-up before their game. From that loss, Smug now wants to focus his energies into developing counter-strategies to help defeat particular opponents. He sees the loss as a positive, as it has now given him the drive to really improve as a player.

As for improving Balrog, the main change he’d make is to the boxer’s haircut. According to Smug, Balrog’s hairline is “like an N64 controller”, so he really just want the man to get a fresh new do. If he had won the tournament, he would have given Balrog a flat top as part of his Champion’s Costume, no question.

Make sure to check out the whole interview below to see what the mayor of Duff City has to say to his citizens.
