"Protecting ancient tech from the modern world..."

S P R I G G A N

A great civilization once existed on this Earth. Possessing knowledge and scientific prowess far exceeding that of modern man, the relics of this ancient civilization remain hidden across this world even now. As high-speed communication networks cover the globe and the peering eyes of satellites are able to expose all secrets, the armies of great nations clash as they seek to uncover and research these artifacts, which possess an unfathomable “power.” A member of this ancient civilization carved a message into a plate: “Protect our relics from evil-doers.” Taking this message to heart, one organization aims to seal away this ancient civilization for good. The elite secret agents of this organization are known as… Spriggans.

VALORANT Champions

For matches and schedules visit https://valorantesports.com

Valorant is a tactical shooting game involving two teams with 5 players in each team. Every player can sign in and play remotely from anywhere in the world. Every game has 25 rounds and the team that wins 13 of them first wins the game. Players can choose their in-game characters called agents at the start of the game. Players can buy abilities and weapons at the start of the game.

 

In comparison to other popular online multiplayer games, Valorant has a lot more in common with the likes of CS:GO, rather than PUBG and Fortnite. Similar to CS: GO, here one team attacks while the other defends. The defensive team plants a bomb and then tries to stop the offensive team from defusing it. Teams can swap between attacks and defence after 3 rounds.

Inside the pitch meeting that led to 'Hancock'...

'HANCOCK' Pitch Meeting

Turns out Will Smith was smacking people for saying words he didn’t like long before he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. In 2008’s Hancock, the once wholesome-seeming superstar took to the big screen as Hancock, the superhero with a drinking and attitude problem.

Hancock definitely raises a few questions though. Like did Hancock just kill that train conductor? How did those two prisoners survive that “thing” Hancock did to them? How long was that bank robbery and why did Hancock take his time to get to it? Why does this movie suddenly become a completely different movie half-way through? Why do those bad guys think they stand a chance against the bulletproof superhero? How did Hancock PAINT THE MOON?!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Hancock! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
