Xcademy is pleased to announce it has launched its education hub. Founded by Gen-Zer Joel Morris, aka JMX, who has an online audience of over 3.5 million across YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and snapchat, he is driven to use his experience to help Generation-Z benefit from a safe, secure and responsible online environment within which courses teach students how to play Fortnite, taught by world renowned pro-player Benjyfishy, as well as promote confidence building and teach life skills.

Joel Morris, Co-Founder of Xcademy said, “The number of online personalities and desire of younger people to emulate them is growing exponentially. However, there is no solution to help young people prepare for the trials, tribulations and potential rewards of using social media to build an online audience. The Xcademy e-learning solution has been designed specifically to serve young people through engaging and entertaining content, provided by some of the most well known online personalities and pro-players like Benjyfishy that will help students to become pro-gamers, as well as build confidence and learn other important life skills.

“Having been through the ups and downs of being in the public eye as an online personality and suffered my own challenges such as depression, anorexia and cyber-bullying, the process has taught me many valuable life skills, so it’s exciting to offer a service like Xcademy.”

Xcademy has been co-founded by ecommerce and technology specialist Oliver Bell. The e-learning hub is designed to teach students how to play Fortnite, as well as valuable life skills and extra-curricular education, helping to nurture the growing number of young people who want to become online personalities and amass large audiences by using social media channels such as YouTube. The 12-month course costs £5.99 per month. Upon successful completion, certain students will be mentored and tutored further by Xcademy in order to help them pursue their ambitions.

Oliver Bell, Co-Founder of Xcademy added, “By providing educational courses that teach young people important life skills and how to always improve, the ultimate goal for Xcademy is to cultivate talent and mentor them further. Learning from our own experiences we have built a secure online education hub that we believe allays parental concerns that their children are spending too much time watching material that is serving them little to no benefit. Xcademy provides extra-curricular courses and parents can be safe in the knowledge that the courses deliver responsible learning skills.”

As well as being taught how to become a pro Fortnite player, some of the life skills that young people can expect to learn by undertaking the Xcademy course are:

– Organisation
– Communication
– Confidence
– Motivation
– Creativity
– Presenting
– Positive thinking
– Problem solving

Other benefits of having access to the portal include:

– Monitored forums that encourage engagement
– Ability to meet like minded people
– Track progress and earn rewards
– Entertainment via gamification

The Xcademy e-learning portal is highly secure, ensures prevention of activity from bad actors and includes a strict profanity filter. The profanity filter censors out any bad language and also any personal details that students may attempt to share, such as telephone numbers and email addresses. The only place students can communicate with each other within the Xcademy portal is the forums which are also all public facing and are monitored 24/7.

All-new open and inclusive multi-divisional team league offers players more opportunities to compete, with USD $170,000 prize pool and a chance to qualify for the inaugural Esports World Cup

ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), the leading esports and video game entertainment company, today announced the launch of FACEIT League, an Overwatch® team League operated by FACEIT, the world’s leading online platform for competitive gaming. The all-new open circuit invites players of all skill levels across six regions to compete for their chance to win a share of the $170,000 prize pool and secure a seat at top regional slots in the inaugural Esports World Cup (EWC) taking place this summer.

FACEIT League builds on the success of the platform’s long-running Counter-Strike model, which fosters gaming communities through always-on, consistent, and rewarding structured competition and an emphasis on teamwork. An extension of ESL FACEIT Group’s multi-year agreement with Blizzard Entertainment to drive the growth of Overwatch Esports, the new community platform offers players opportunities to go from grassroots play to the world stage.

The response from Overwatch players on FACEIT has exceeded our expectations and illustrates the need for the robust, sustainable structure that we’re building with FACEIT League,” said Warren Leigh, Senior Vice President of Product, Digital Platforms, ESL FACEIT Group. “With over 50 seasons of Counter-Strike experience building some of the most successful grassroots esports ecosystems, having the opportunity to support the Overwatch community with a bespoke program is incredibly exciting.”

FACEIT League will offer multiple seven-week seasons each year, maximizing the number of opportunities for players in North America; EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, North Africa), Oceania, and South America to compete. The circuit caters to all levels of players, from fledgeling first-timers to experienced teams, presenting more opportunities to showcase raw talent and help them practice, improve, and qualify for in-person events with substantial prize pools. The Regular Season 1 takes place from April 29 to June 9, with the winning teams progressing to the Playoffs happening from June 10-23. Teams will then compete for a coveted $170,000 FACEIT League cash prize, as well as higher division promotion and a seat across EMEA, North America, Oceania and South America slots at the Esports World Cup taking place this Summer 2024.

Divisions for each region will be split into Master: Road to Esports World Cup; Expert, Advanced, and Open, with an Advanced division available for players from EMEA and North America. Expert and Advanced divisions will only be accessible via invitation to the top players based on their Elo rating, which starts based on players’ in-game ranks.

COSY UP WITH WILD WINS AND MAGIC MULTIPLIERS IN LUCKY CUSHIONS BY BOLDPLAY

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Get ready to put your feet up and ease into a world of cascading wins in Lucky Cushions by Boldplay – the brand-new cluster pays slot where perfect pillow placement can result in players landing consecutive wins on each and every spin!

Played across an expanded 8×8 gameboard, action takes place in front of a cosy backdrop littered with colourful cushions and players will need to put together clusters of matching icons to trigger a symbol cascade. Whenever this happens, all cushions featured in the cluster will be removed from play as new ones drop from above to fill their place, potentially creating additional payouts.

What makes Lucky Cushions comfortably stand out from other cluster pays slots, however, is its exciting bonus features. Firstly, on each new round, players will notice that one non-wild icon will be selected at random to receive an additional multiplier. Any cluster wins that this special symbol appears in will see the regular win boosted by the multiplier value for even better rewards.

On top of that, the game’s wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular icons to complete winning clusters, but when it does, all matching cushions elsewhere on the reels will also be removed, potentially triggering an improved cascade. This effect can also stack after each new cascade, with players able to land consecutive wins on each game round.

To make those well-furnished wins even easier to come by, whenever a spin takes place where no clusters appear and there’s a matching symbol in one of the adjacent reel spaces, it will magically swap positions to complete a cluster and give players an additional chance to start a cascade.

Speaking on this cosy new addition to the Boldplay slot catalogue, Head of Design, Marcus Taylor said: “With its cascading reels, wild wins and big-money multipliers, Lucky Cushions is comfortably the most exciting cluster pays slot we’ve developed so far and we think players are going to love settling in for a session where multiple prizes are available on each and every spin.

“Featuring an expanded 8×8 gameboard, second-chance wins and a pair of rewarding in-reel bonus features, Lucky Cushions is an innovative addition to our line-up that’s perfectly optimised for mobile devices, making it’s a must-have title for all online operators who offer Boldplay slots.”

Galaxsys, a leading game studio in the gaming industry, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest turbo game, Tower Rush. The game offers players a thrilling gaming experience with its innovative gameplay mechanics and exciting bonus features.

The Procedure of Conducting the Game and the Winning Options

Tower Rush challenges players to strategically place building floors on top of each other, aiming to achieve the highest possible odds. With limitless potential for stacking floors, players can create an endless chain of structures while avoiding collapses. Successfully placing a floor results in winning corresponding odds, while a collapse leads to a loss.

The Procedure of Making Bets in the Game

To start the game, players specify their bet amount and press the “Build” button. Floors are dropped from above, and successful placement results in winnings. Players have the option to cash out or continue building. Multiple successful placements increase winnings exponentially, while a collapse allows players to start a new round.

About the Game:
In Tower Rush, the goal is to avoid collapses and secure wins by successfully placing each floor. When players successfully place the floor, the winning odds for each new floor will be multiplied by one another, and upon cashing out, the bet amount will be multiplied by this cumulative odds value.

Main Highlights:

  • Up to 3 Unique Bonus Floors: In the game, there are three different ways to receive bonuses: Frozen Floor, Temple Floor, and Triple Build.
  • Unique Game Concept: Tower Rush introduces an original gameplay concept that sets it apart in the iGaming industry.
  • Dynamic Animations: As we put player satisfaction at the heart of all the design decisions, the game is designed in a way that is the most convenient for the players, both visually and functionally.
  • Bonus Systems: FreeBet and FreeAmount promotional tools provide an option to reward bonuses to the players, with the terms set by the operator.
  • Provable Fairness: We only use the most reliable and high-end Random Number Generator technologies to ensure true randomness.

Tower Rush is a unique turbo game, offering players up to three unique bonus floors, an original gameplay concept, dynamic animations prioritizing player satisfaction, and an advanced bonus system, all backed by provable fairness and latest innovation technologies.
