Overwatch League will Hold Matches in Players’ Home Cities Starting 2020

Overwatch League commissioner Nate Nanzer has announced that Overwatch League teams will get the chance to play in their home cities starting in 2020. Last year’s regular matches were held entirely at the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles, while the finals took place in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Kid Goku from GT might be the Next Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC Character

Another version of Goku might be coming to Dragon Ball FighterZ soon. Japanese blog ryokutya2089 says that the March issue of V-Jump will reveal that Kid Goku from Dragon Ball GT will be the next paid DLC character.

Jump Pads are Popping Up in Apex Legends

Jump pads have been appearing in Apex Legends recently. They seem to pop up around Market, an area found in the middle of the map that’s saturated with loot.
