Kevin De Bruyne has managed to establish himself as the most important player in the Manchester City squad, finishing the 19/20 season as the PFA Player of the Year and continuing the outstanding performances this season, too.
Moreover, the player has now taken up the armband and dictates things even more vocally from the heart of the park. De Bruyne has ten assists in the Premier League this season and has also scored 3 goals to go along with them. The total number of assists goes to 15 when we include all competitions, namely, the Champions League and the two cup competitions.
Manchester City won’t listen any bid for Kevin de Bruyne in the summer – he’s 100% untouchable. They’re working and progressing in talks to extend his contract, confident to complete the agreement soon. 🔵 #mcfc
Owing to his outstanding displays on the pitch, the 29-year-old is now the most valuable central midfielder in the world, and Manchester City intend on keeping him at the club for as long as possible. Contract talks have been going on with the player for a while now and the final details are expected to be sorted out within the next few weeks.
The Belgian recently spent a few weeks out injured and has now returned to action for the team. In his absence, Ilkay Gundogan really stepped up and dominated games making dashing runs forward into the opposition’s box.
But now that De Bruyne has found match fitness, City have made it clear that they will not listen to any bids for the Belgian. More importantly, De Bruyne himself is happy at the club and is willing to stay and commit to a future at the Etihad.
The Redmi K40 series is on its edge of getting launched. In the meantime, we’ve got some official renders of the Redmi K40, showing its rear panel. On first look, the backside of the Redmi K40 looks to get inspired by the Damascus knife pattern. The color variant looks a bit black-grey mixing. On the down-side, the official branding of “Redmi” is there.
Now, coming to the camera section. It is a vertically placed rectangular rear camera setup with three camera sensors (triple-cam) along with an LED flash. The topmost and the bottom sensors look bigger comparing to the middle ones which are quite smaller. That’s all we’ve got from the rear panel image of the Redmi K40.
This new series might flaunt a 6.67-inch display and will measure 163.7×76.4×7.8 mm. The smartphones will be backed by a modest 4,420mah battery cell paired with 33W fast charging. The two handsets are expected to arrive with two different chipsets.
One will be run by Qualcomm’s latest mobile processor, Snapdragon 888 SoC and the other will be powered by a Snapdragon 870 chipset. Other features of this device might include UFS 3.1, LPDDR5 RAM, and more. In a recent tweet, we also found that the Redmi K40 smartphones might come with an E4 AMOLED display and a triple rear camera system.
Other details of this series are not yet out but after just one week, we will have every minute details of it. The smartphones are expected to offer you a magnificent 120Hz E4 OLED display. They are expected to run on MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. The Redmi K40 Pro can cost you around 2,999 yuan ($462). The lower model of this series can have a similar starting price. The series is going to launch in China first. A date for the global launch is still awaited.
The transfer market has been badly affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. The clubs have been hit financially and don’t have enough money like before, which in turn has decreased the transfer value of every player.
The forward players, including the strikers, are some of the most expensive players in the transfer market. If you look at the top 10 most expensive transfers of all time, you will see it is flooded with forwards.
So here we take a look at the top 5 most valuable strikers in world football in 2021:
5. Romelu Lukaku
Club: Inter Milan League: Serie A Nationality: Belgium Value: €90m
4. Joao Felix
Club: Atletico Madrid League: La Liga Nationality: Portugal Value: €100m
AMD last year launched its first-ever CDNA GPU-based accelerator, namely the Instinct MI100. Recent reports indicate that its successor, the MI200, will be launched this year. The CDNA architecture is designed for compute-intensive and HPC workloads. It is reported that the 2nd gen of these chips is going to bring a lot of new features and technologies.
A Twitter user who goes by the name of Komachi first posted this news on his feed. We can assume that the MI200 will be replacing the MI100 as the new flagship accelerator for HPC.
We already know that AMD will be launching its EPYC Trento chips, and the Instinct MI200 is expected to be launching alongside the chipset. The MI200 is expected to launch in 2021 but we should expect a late Q4 arrival since MI100 was introduced in a similar timeframe (Q4 2020).
According to sources, the AMD MI200 is listed as an MCM ‘Special FIO Accelerator’ for HPE Cray EX. An MCM (Multi-Chip-Module) design suggests that there could be a Vega Compute GPU but two of them fused over the same PCB & connected by a next-generation Infinity Fabric interconnect.
Erling Haaland is one of the hottest prospects in Europe. The Borussia Dortmund youngster is on the radar of some of the European elites in the transfer window.
The Norweigan joined Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window in 2020 after a blistering UCL campaign with Red Bull Salzburg. The 20-year-old striker has continued his form at Bundesliga as well. In his 43 appearances for the German giant, he has scored 43 goals. His ruthless finishing has caught the eyes of everyone.
Erling Braut Haaland is a goal-poaching striker with a great future ahead. Clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona are scouting on him and monitoring his progress. He can be a prime target of some of these clubs next summer.
As per the report by Daily Star, the striker can leave the summer as the German side is not ready to fulfil his wage demands. The report says Haaland wants his next contract to earn him €90 million over five years.
Haaland is currently on a five-year contract in Borussia Dortmund until 2024. Haaland and his agent, Mino Raiola, are trying to convince Dortmund to part with their talismanic striker so that the striker can join another club that is willing to offer him the wage he wants.
Haaland has a release clause of €80 million in his contract with Borussia Dortmund. However, it won’t become active until the summer of 2022. Until then, it is tough to find a buyer for the young striker.
E-sports are rapidly growing in India and as well as in abroad. From PUBG to VALORANT, all the gamers have been given the opportunity to make their career in E-sports.
But the increasing rates of hackers in every game are making the scenario worse for the hardworking players. Some games have increased the power of the anti-cheat system. But they still failed to identify some of the hackers or third-party users. The hackers are not even afraid to use their hack in official tournaments as well. It simply started to increase the question about the integrity of official tournaments.
However, some officials have taken a significant step to stop hacking in tournaments. PUBG Mobile E-sports has banned 7 teams and two individual players from PMCO for using third-party applications and using different identifications.
A statement by PUBG Esports read, “In our regular investigation to fight cheaters and provide fair competition in our official tournaments, players in the following teams were found to be using prohibited third-party software. As this is a clear violation of our code of conduct, the teams have been disqualified from the tournament. The teams will not be replaced, and the PMCO will continue as planned with the remaining teams.”
Indian teams are not in this year’s PMCO as the game is banned in India until further notice. But India also has seen some of the hackers in last year’s PMCO. Multiple teams were disqualified due to hacking. It was very frustrating to some of the players who had grinded to make their mark on the big stage but their dreams were shattered by hackers.
However, the problem of hacking is not restricted to one E-sports. Other games have also affected by hackers. The games like VALORANT has seen the worse of it recently.
Since its release last year, VALORANT has become one of the most favourite games among FPS gamers. It has also brought a new wave in Indian E-sports. The developer of this game, RIOT Games, has introduced a powerful anti-cheat system for this game. But the hackers somehow started to find their way to cheat.
Recently, in ESPL VALORANT PowerUp by Esports Players League, a whole cheating, account sharing fiasco surrounding Team Paratroops recently came to light. Abhay ‘Xhade’ Urkude, a player from Team Paratroops was caught using hacks. However, it was later declared that Xhade had not used any cheats in the tournament. But he has revealed that he used these hacks to reach a radiant rank in VALORANT.
Later, the officials of that tournament have taken the offence very seriously and issued respective statements. Xhade was permanently banned at least till further notice. Team Paratroops have been banned for 3 months from any and all Skyesports tournaments and leagues. Team captain Mithul ‘Binks’ Nayak has also been presented with a 3 months ban for account sharing.
Shiva Nandy, CEO, Skyesports stated, “There should be a strong regulation from Publishers and ban the hackers permanently so that gamers won’t even think of hacking. Recently RIOT’s ban system has come out strong where if you are found hacking, you may end up getting a hardware ban. This is a good move.”
Ankit ‘Venom’ Panth, one of the renowned athlete of Indian E-sports told, “If you think you will be successful in the scene by cheating and hacking, then you would only gain temporary success.”
“You might temporarily get a lot of fans, fame and sponsors, but all of that will be temporary. When you get caught, it will only take a second for all of this to go, and the backlash would be unbearable.”- he added.
India has already seen the worse of it when Nikhil ‘Forsaken’ Kumawat was caught with word.exe at the eXTREMESLAND 2018 Asia Finals. It was a shameful day for the Indian E-sports. These players are just hampering the hard work of other athletes who are grinding every day to lift an international trophy for India. The developers and officials need to take more strict actions against them to keep this gaming environment clean.
The most ambitious feature of World of Warcraft is Torghast, Tower of the Damned. It contains a multi-floor dungeon which is basically a self-contained roguelike. When you explore it, each time the enemies change and as you progress to harder floors you’ll find more advanced abilities that can turn you into a demon-slaying badass.
Game director Ion Hazzikostas said during an interview, “One of the biggest points of feedback we’ve gotten since the release of Shadowlands was that, while the feeling of becoming this powerful wrecking ball going through Torghast and breaking all the rules is super fun, the flip side is that losing in Torghast is one of the worst experiences ever in World of Warcraft. And that’s a problem. That sucks.”
Torghast is the primary source of an important currency named Soul Ash which is used to upgrade the Legendary Gear. Every week, you can get so much Soul Ash, so beating the Torghast is something that players need to do if they want to keep pace with their guildmates and take on more hard challenges. The Soul Ash is only earnable when the player successfully completes a run of the dungeon, which can take more than an hour.
Hazzikostas said, “What if instead we had more of a rating or a score, where it was more of a spectrum, a continuum of success and trying to do better, trying to be more efficient, trying to be faster or have fewer deaths, but you have some reward to show for it? You always want to do better, but you’re never leaving empty handed—unless you, like, fail on the first floor and your run ends there, that’s okay.”
Hazzikostas didn’t have much specific information to share, but just knowing that Torghast is receiving an overhaul is a good one.
“We’ll have more to show when the [Public Test Realm] starts for Chains of Domination. We’re looking forward to a lot of feedback and iteration on this system,” Hazzikostas said. “I think our take on Torghast is that the setting is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, the variety of content and experiences there are awesome, but it needs to be a place where we can offer challenge without frustration and despair if the challenge ends up being too much for you.”

We know that Netflix is a powerhouse of amazing web series and movies. Tribes of Europa is a new incredible German Netflix original series available to stream on the platform from February 19. It is an extraordinary story of traveling through a dystopian future with some extremely violent scenes. In less than one week, this series has created a place in the top 10 shows of Netflix.
This series will take us into the place in the near future. The story is about the year 2074 when the countries of Europe will face a mysterious global disaster and all the countries will exist no more. The Feudal tribes have started the war among each other. It is a six-part series that will follow three siblings, Kiano (Emilio Sakraya), Liv (Henriette Confurius), and Elja(David Ali Rashed) who suddenly find separated from their tribe.
The Origines, who live peacefully with nature, have been attacked by the crows, a very terrible tribe, the members of whom will prefer to wear a color black mask and splatter with black eye shadows across their faces. Kiano, Liv and Elja are now forced to follow their own path to this new survival war.
The first episode depicts the three siblings out in the wood hunting, where an aircraft has crashed down in front of them. They have quickly watched it and found about the pilot, but they have found no pilot in it. The youngest sibling has found a metal cube on the ground nearby and takes it with them. After finding the wounded pilot, they have taken him to their tribe to heal him. It has come to know that he is an Atlantian who is a technologically advanced tribe.
DSCF0390.RAF
The tribe belonged to the Origine and was soon attacked by a Crow group finding for the Atlantian and mainly a certain cube. At that time, the whole village and Elja have managed somehow to escape after getting the cube from the Atlantian, and he has been sent on a special mission. All the family members are dead, and Elja is the first on the journey to help a comic-relief Moses repair the Atlantian cube.
Liv, who is still alive, must go to find her father and brothers and relentlessly in her pursuit, uniting with the crimson Republic, a military group that used to be the European Euro corps army, to get the metropolis to the crow. It has seemed that Kanio can draw the short straw compared to his siblings and be able to capture a slave in the ultra-violent crow metropolis, then he is chosen by only one of the lords for the sex slave. Now the question has arisen that how all the siblings will find each other.
This series will never explain how and why the European countries no longer exist in this series till now; it has just only kept referring to the characters as a “Black December.” With all the latest technology, smartphones and computers have disappeared. The series has to show that our civilization would now crumble and back revert to feudal tribalism without any technology.
The creators and writers of the show will be going to decide on the reasons for the destruction of European countries. They have to find the series very problematic while considering Europe’s war-torn history.
Some parts are quite not seemed well to the concept of this show mainly of some extremely brutal scenes of gladiator-style bloodshed, some torture, and also sexual violence that has turned into some extent of entertainment.
Hugo Duro, one of Real Madrid’s academy products about to burst onto the scene, had a pretty eventful journey to the Castilla. As a child, he supported Getafe and played for them until two years ago, when they secured qualification into the Europa League.
He has since made a move and has made his debut for Los Merengues under Zinedine Zidane. His former teammates and seniors Jorge Molina and Jaime Mata of Getafe gave him some good advice and also reflected on the youngster’s diligent attitude as they spoke to EFE:
https://youtu.be/B5mgh0Uxtco
“When he came up from the youth team and debuted, he told me that he was studying,” Molina said to EFE. “I tried to advise him to focus on his career because football gives you plenty of time to do other things, like study.
“I put in a lot of effort to tell him not to stop. That’s the main thing, and football is an unfair sport. One day you’re on top of the world, and the next, you come crashing down.”
The left-footed striker is currently on loan at Madrid, and his new club has the option of buying the player at the end of the season when his deal expires. The player has scored 8 goals in 12 appearances for Real Madrid’s Castilla team in Segunda B and has played every minute with the youth team.
It takes something special to succeed at Real Madrid, and with the likes of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo already setting the standards so high, it will be difficult for Duro to reach those heights. However, with enough dedication and skill, the Spaniard can surely reach those heights.
All that said, he has to compete with Mariano Diaz and Luka Jovic, who will come back from loan at Eintracht Frankfurt for minutes, as well as Benzema in the short-term future.
