The mercurial Argentine forward has been a talismanic presence at Camp Nou once again this season, with his 36-goal return keeping treble dreams alive. La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League prizes remain up for grabs, with Messi having helped to inspire trophy challenges on multiple fronts.

Last month the Argentine told Barcelona of his intention to activate a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave on a free transfer. Barcelona, though, hit back, saying that the window to activate the clause had closed because the request needed to be made in June, not in August, when the coronavirus-extended season eventually ended. Rather than challenge Barcelona in court, Messi told Goal earlier this month that he would drop his request to leave and stay at the club for the 2020-21 season....

[HTML1] Thanks to the rise in popularity of e-sports, MOBAs (multiplayer online battle areas) like DOTA2 and League of Legends have seen a massive rise in popularity. Die-hard fans of the genre have likely placed their MOBA flags in the camps of one of those two genre-defining titles, but that hasn’t stopped the competition from attempting to recapture the magic with new spins on the genre. Rather than slapping a new coat of paint on the regular MOBA hero archetypes, the folks at Wyrmbyte have decided to place the heroes on the backs of fire-breathing dragons....

Unfortunately, the highly anticipated title was pushed back from its original launch date, before being delayed several more times until it finally released last week.
