Sentinels have announced a last minute change to their lineup ahead of the start of the VCT Americas 2026 Stage 1. Though expectaction to watch the new squad in action is high, fans will need to wait a little longer before the whole team gets together as their new Duelist Gurjiwan "Jerrwin" Gill continues to struggle with visa issues.  Not all is bad news over in Sen City, though, as a tried and true veteran of the VALORANT esports scene is arriving to save the day.

League of Legends Patch 26.08 will be a relatively small update as Riot focuses setting the stage for the release of Season 2. Before that happens, though, the new patch will center on delivering balance changes to a few champions that need immediate attention. Here's a look at some of the biggest changes coming with LoL Patch 26.08 once it releases on Wednesday, April 15.

League of Legends Patch 26.07 landed on April 1, 2026, continuing the string of smaller-than-usual wave of changes as Riot's attention shifts toward the upcoming Season 2 update. Key tweaks hit the Support pool, with Nami receiving nerfs to her W bounce mechanic and the support farming penalty being removed entirely, while a handful of statistical overperformers across other roles were also trimmed. The meta, however, remains largely intact, and the champions who excelled in Solo Queue in previous patches continue to shine. If you're looking to gain LP efficiently, here are the best champions to climb ranked in LoL Patch 26.07.

After a rough start to the year for the reigning World Champions, things just went from bad to worse for T1. The LCK 2026 Season was meant to be one of redemption and growth for T1; instead, the team kicked off the new split in the worst possible way after getting utterly dominated by KT Rolster in their debut match.

Top Esports just can't seem to catch a break. Just days before the start of the 2026 LPL Split 2, Top Laner Bai "369" Jiahao has announced through a post on Weibo that he will be temporarily stepping down from the team's starting lineup due to performance related issues.

VALORANT Patch 12.06 may not deliver the biggest of updates to the game, but it's certainly worth taking a look at all the same for a few concrete reasons. From small updates to Waylay (which should result in a slight nerf) and Viper, to new voicelines for Yoru and a long list of bug fixes, the new VALORANT update will continue to drive the game towards its most balanced and polished state.
