Yesterday was a crucial day for all teams across Spain as played the decisive Matchday 33 except Barcelona who played their 32nd match against Villarreal and have won it. Whereas Real Madrid has been held at home to Betis and Atlético Madrid going down 2-1 in Bilbao.
This is the best opportunity to lead the LaLiga table for the first time this season for Barcelona if they win against Granada at home on Thursday.
No one could have imagined this back in December when everyone thought FC Barcelona cannot win the league title but 2021 has been a game-changing year for Koeman’s team, scoring 46 points in their last 17 games.
As you see the LaLiga table, this season has been the most thrilling season ever where the top four teams are separacted by a point or so. Now, if FC Barcelona win against Granada and they should with their destructive form, will put them at 74 points over Athletico Madrid, who once was the favourite to win the title race.
Barça have won 20 out of 21 games since December whereas Atlético have led since Week 9, but they were once runaway leaders, their incredible run of 15 wins in 16 games came to an abrupt end in February. They have won just six in the last 14 games means that their huge lead has been cut to nothing.
This puts both Barcelona and Real Madrid back into contention, with Sevilla also ramping up the table with successive wins, now with 70 points. Now Koeman and his men should have only one target – 6 finals, 6 wins, FC Barcelona wins LaLiga 20/21, but the most important game has to be the home game against Atlético.
Respawn Entertainment developed a series of live-action shorts alongside its game, the Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond documentary Collete. The documentary features one video in which a French resistance fighter confronts the painful memories of her early life.
For the documentary, Respawn became the first Academy Award-winning game developer in the history of the industry. Though the game itself isn’t something to talk big about, however, it’s still praiseworthy that it brought an Oscar home.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond isn’t the return to the series that I would have hoped. As a VR game is has a lot to offer, the gameplay is engaging, the missions varied, and both the single-player and multiplayer can be fun to play. However, the story is woefully mismanaged, with a cast of mostly unlikeable and unsympathetic characters – a tragedy when it comes with an incredibly powerful piece of work in the form of the gallery, a collection of documentaries, and interviews with veterans of the war.
But, for Respawn most of its money is running on the back of Apex Legends as the developer recently celebrated the game’s 100 million players milestone. Another game that’s doing wonders for the developer is Titanfall 2 which has just broken a new concurrent player record on Steam (16,958).
We're over the moon about Colette's Best Documentary (Short Subject) #Oscars win tonight! From Vince, Peter, and all of us at Respawn, we are humbled and honored. Thank you.

Fortnite has a lot of characters in its battle royale and to be frank we don’t have a clue as to the history behind these characters. However, times are changing and everything will make more sense when the ‘Knight of the Night’ aka The Batman makes its appearance in the world of Fortnite.
Batman is the most badass hero to ever exist in the history of comic books and he has been termed as the most dangerous human by Superman himself. But coming to Fortnite, a new comic book by the name of Zero Point has been released in the market. it’s a crossover between Batman and Fortnite.
So, let’s see what exactly is the comic book all about. Firstly the story, A mysterious crack appears in Gotham’s skies, and Batman heads out to investigate. He spots Harley Quinn by the disturbance and is eventually pulled into it against his will. And as you have guessed by now, they got pulled over in the world of Fortnite.
After reaching Fortnite island it seems that Batman has lost his memories but still remembers how to use gadgets and how to fight. He immediately notices some strange things about this unknown place, and also one important factor is that for some reason he is unable to speak. The island has something strange going on everyone is trying to kill each other.
After a while, he comes to one of a possible explanation of this condition, stating that: “I’ve gone mad.” It isn’t until he sees Catwoman that his memory is jostled just a little bit. The first issue ends without many resolutions, but it poses a lot of questions. Why can’t the characters talk? And is there a reason everyone is trying to kill each other? There are a lot of questions to ask which we have never asked about the world and characters of Fortnite. But exploring the secrets of Fortnite island with the genius of Batman, the journey looks fascinating.
Zero Point is written by Christos Gage, with art by Nelson Faro DeCastro, Reilly Brown, and John Kalisz. Issue 1 is available now, with subsequent issues coming on May 4th, May 18th, June 1st, June 15th, and July 6th.
The Blaugranas under Ronald Koeman has a new phase as the squad faces a transformation; we have a lot of young players alongside the experienced ones like Messi, Pique, Ter Stegan, Busquests, Griezmann and others.
Though they had been thrashed by PSG in the Champions League and lost to Athletic Bilbao in Super Cup, the recent Copa del Rey win has indeed injected new energy into the team. Even though they had some difficulties in those games, FC Barcelona’s LaLiga campaign for 2021 has been amazing.
Yes, Koeman’s team has scored 46 points in their last 17 games, winning 15 games, drawing just one game and the narrow loss in the El Clasico against Real Madrid. However, this is the finest run by any LaLiga team so far, and it shows how determined Messi and his team is to win the Spanish title.
Koeman has tried different systems and players in a different role; however, he has found the three CB system as the best ones; as we already know, Barcelona had defensive issues more than attacking ones. This has helped wing-backs like Dest and Alba attack down the flanks, and Messi playing the much suited central role.
Players like Griezmann, De Jong, Alba, and Mingueza have recently been in their finest form recently, which has helped ageing players like Pique, Busquets, and Messi to show their best performances off late.
Koeman has drastically reduced the team’s average age by introducing players like Pedri, Illaix Moriba, Serginio Dest, Ronald Araujo, and Oscar Mingueza. Also, who can forget the energetic Rique Puig, but Koeman doesn’t trust him as much he does Pedri, who needs rest some much-needed rest.
Messi is also giving the utmost best this season, scoring 25 goals with six games still remaining. This team so far has reached the stage which fans never did expect to and can hope the Blaugranas can lift the LaLiga trophy finally this season.

A few days back, Apple finished its Spring Loaded even, and we got to see quite a few bunches of amazing gadgets from the Cupertino giant lined up for release this year. And let’s all agree the most badass device to be displayed in the show was the M1 iPad Pro; it stole the headlight.
However, another product was talked about a lot more in the show, and that was a completely redesigned Mac which also features Apple’s in-house silicon. After looking at a completely redesigned Mac, we see a new concept of the M1 MacBook Air, envisioning how the notebook might look if it takes design cues from the new M1 iMac.
The device will be much thinner than its predecessors, and though Apple already sells the M1-powered MacBook Air, the new MacBook Air concept takes design cues from the M1 iMac.
According to sources, key design concepts are taken from the new M1 iMac and added to give the M1 MacBook a new look. It has a sleek aluminium body with a white keyboard and greyish bezels that resemble the new iMac.
When Apple showcased the new iMac, the newly featured chin design of the new iMac is refreshed does not paint a pretty picture. The M1 chip is powerful, and we are yet to see if Apple has catered to any special advancements in the machine.

When we first saw Groot in the Guardians of Galaxy Vol 1 movie, we were impressed by the introduction of Groot. However, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 introduced us to baby Groot, and we were blown out of our minds. And now, according to recent sources, the new adorable robot in town, and this one may one day convince you, or more likely your kid, that their favourite Disney character is real.
The new and latest project Kiwi, an in-development robotics platform from Disney’s Imagineering Research and development studio. The project is ongoing for more than three years of work; it’s a small robot that can move and act independently and take the form of many different characters, including Baby Groot.
Imagineering announced that creating a robotic actor that could interact with Disney theme parks guests one day and make them feel like they’re face-to-face with their favourite characters. However, even if the robots are an excellent new technology, the company stated that the latest robotics technology is still a long way from being featured in Disney parks.
Imagineering stated that it focuses on a new set of actuators that will make the robot better equipped to handle sudden interactions, such as a kid running up to hug it, that could topple it over. The team is also working on a new sensor suite that will allow Kiwi to understand the world better and identify human faces.
AMD has a lot of plans to revolutionize the mobile gaming market and we knew it would launch something related to its Xbox and PS5 APU die to the commercial market. This new leak of an upcoming AMD 4700S mobile APU can usher new possibilities we never may have imagined.
Thanks to @9550pro, we have got some insights into AMD’s upcoming masterclass and here are the images leaked:
This slide shows the existence of new AMD 4700S processor that is based on Zen 2 architecture, sporting eight 7nm based cores and sixteen threads. It comes with up to 4.0 GHz boost clock speeds and 12MB cache, this is quite similar to their last-gen Ryzen 7 4800U but the TDP used here is not known yet.
The most interesting fact is the mention of an AMD Cardinal ITX, which suggests this could something like an Xbox Series S or Sony PS5 console, however, running on Windows most probably. The specs confirmed so far include the so-called AMD 4700S processor, Radeon RX 550 discrete graphics.
Interestingly, AMD has used a 16GB GDDR6 high-bandwidth memory to improve performance and decrease latency. Then the poster also confirms a CNC based ITX case that could be very small but yet sport up to 5TB SSD storage.
AMD also used a separate poster boasting about the 16GB GDDR6 memory used and stated how that could improve system response speed and ensure long-term use of an assembled desktop machine.
AMD took this even further to show the system’s performance and compared it against Core i7-9700 and Ryzen 7 4750G PRO. The results are interesting, though, as the AMD machine is ahead of Intel in multi-thread but loses some points in single-thread for both Cinebench R15 and Cinebench R20.
Now, bringing the machine’s discrete graphics to usage, AMD was bold enough to compare the RX 550 GPU inside this with an Intel Core i7-9750H coupled with an RTX 2060 and 32GB RAM.
So, in OpenGL and Cinebench R15, R20, the AMD system is far ahead, while in terms of video editing and transcoding capabilities, AMD is the clear winner.
Although this is a leak, as it’s a poster, it confirms that the product does exist and the Ryzen 4700S is real, and AMD is up to something in using its CPU+GPU combo to make its own console-type machine running Windows. Currently, only we can assume and guess about this leak, but it makes things clear that AMD is bringing some new gaming hybrid to the market.
