Apologies! This edition came a little late–but we have been super busy behind the scenes! We’re approaching the end of April and INGAGE is launching into a new game space: Marvel Rivals! We’re confident we can make a success of this competitive space, we’re ready, join us for our first Marvel Rivals tournament on the 3rd of May 2025.

With the launch of the INGAGE Master Series 2025, we have brought a sensational competitive Unite event to EU, NA, LATAM South, LATAM North, Brazil, India, & APAC. That’s 7 regions (Over 24 countries) of competitive esports from this game, played across all levels from grassroots, to Semi-pro, to Pro! This is a feat we’ll remember for a long time. We stay committed to Pokemon Unite, and expand into Marvel Rivals.

Asia Champions League Finals The Asia Champions League 2025 delivered a tournament for the ages. Sixteen elite teams from across the continent—and one from the West—battled for regional dominance, national pride, and a spot at the World Championship. This year, the spotlight also shifted to China, the newest region added to the United Championship Series. Two teams from there entered the fray without organizational backing but with sky-high ambition.

With a Prize Pool of 134,000 USD, the teams were ready to give it all.

The tournament had two distinct phases: ●

Group Stage: 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four through a fully transparent live draw.

●

Elimination Stage: The top two teams from each group advanced to a Single Elimination Bracket to determine the champion.

Interview with IGZIST

This interview was done by Dr. Poker with player Rising Ore of IGZIST even before this Organisation signed up Kakigoya Rising

Please give us a little introduction about yourself. What’s your favourite Pokémon?

My name is Rising_ORE and I belong to Kakigoya Rising. I am in charge of carrying in the lower lane. My favorite Pokemon is Golurk.

Congratulations on winning the winter tournament with KakigoyaRising. Tell us about your journey and the difficulties you faced in achieving such a goal.

Thank you, we are very happy. Team KakigoyaRising was formed in October 2024, and we have challenged and won various unofficial tournaments before the Winter Tournament. We were sure that we would win the tournament at this rate, but one week before the tournament, our main member, Rising_um, got sick and Rising_Bi, our reserve member, had to compete in the tournament. We had only one week to practice, but we had no problem because we trusted each other. I feel very relieved about that now.

Now that you have qualified for the ACL Finals in Japan, which team would you most like to play against? Why? I would like to play against FENNEL, the Japanese team that won the World Championships in the last WCS in 2024. The reason for this is that I consider Mashio, who is also a lower lane carry player, as my rival and I want to surpass him sooner or later.

Interview with IGZIST

This interview was done by Dr. Poker with player Rising Ore of IGZIST even before this Organisation signed up Kakigoya Rising

Currently, we have seen over 200 teams registered for the Winter tournament. why do you think the Japanese community has such a large number? Do you think it will grow more in the future?

Pokemon is a game that originated in Japan and is a nationally popular content. What follows is my personal opinion. In Japan, MOBA games like “LoL” have been difficult to get into because of the long game time, but I think that the cute appearance of Pokemon and the easy game time of 10 minutes are one of the reasons why Pokemon is so popular in Japan.

We will have the new 500-point match mode within the next few months. Why Would you see this as an important development for the game? What other things do you think could help the community grow?

I believe that in 500-point match mode, early advantage is important in this game, and if more teams become aware of how to win in the early stages because of this, it will improve the overall level of the game. On the other hand, I hope that the game will not become a game of collecting points only without fighting, called goal macro.

March Cup The March Cup of the Unite Championship Series (UCS) wrapped up on March 29th and 30th, bringing fans another weekend of epic clashes, surprise upsets, and dominant performances. With only three more events remaining before the World Championships 2025 in Anaheim, tensions are rising as teams around the globe battle for their shot at glory.

Oceania: Antic x Odium’s Hat-Trick The Oceania region saw a familiar lineup on the final day, including Natu’s Revenge, Antic x Odium, Bruff Esports, and Wildfire Monsters.

BH3 Esports, 0-2 Kings, and April Foolers clawed their way back into Day 2.

Unite Championship Series 2025

With only a few tournaments remaining, the April Cup (Apr 19–20) will be the final chance to earn Championship Points (CPs) and make the Top 12 cutoff for automatic qualification to Regional Group Stages.

From there, regional open qualifiers and finals will determine who truly stands among the best, with each country receiving Worlds spots based on regional performance.

NAIC in June will be the final golden opportunity for West teams to clinch a last-minute invite to Worlds.

As we approach the World Championships in August, it’s hard to believe how far the UCS 2024–25 journey has taken us. From self-funded LAN dreams in Brazil to full-scale global qualifiers, this season has tested every team’s endurance, strategy, and heart.

The finish line is in sight—but for many, the real battle is just beginning.

Good luck to all teams as they fight for their spot on the biggest stage in Pokémon UNITE.

Nintendo DIrect: Switch 2 and So Much More!

The rumors, the speculation, the hushed whispers – they can finally be put to rest! Nintendo blew the doors off the gaming world with a dedicated Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, 2025, pulling back the curtain on their next-generation console, officially titled the Nintendo Switch 2, and announcing a release date of June 5th, 2025. Get ready, because a new era of Nintendo gaming is almost upon us!

The highly anticipated Direct delivered a packed presentation, confirming many rumored features and unveiling exciting new details about the Switch 2 hardware and its upcoming software lineup. The console will launch at a price point of $449.99 for the base unit, with a bundle including the newly announced Mario Kart World available for $499.99.

What is Nintendo offering with the Switch 2 then?

The Direct demonstrated a notable advancement in technical proficiency. With HDR compatibility, the console will have a 7.9-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate in handheld mode, an improvement above the original Switch's 6.2-inch screen. On compatible monitors, the Switch 2's 4K resolution output at 60Hz when docked will provide a sharper visual experience. Additionally, internal storage has increased significantly to 256GB, which is a great improvement for those who prefer digital content.

Additionally, Nintendo is improving the hardware with a number of significant enhancements. A magnetic attachment method has been added to the Joy-Con controllers, which should provide a more secure connection. In order to facilitate in-game communication with friends, a new "C" button has been added to the right Joy-Con. This button is devoted to a brand-new Game Chat function. GameShare, another cutting-edge feature, was revealed. It would let players share a game with others who don't own it so they can play together, but there will probably be restrictions. The console also has two USB-C connections and a more adjustable kickstand.

Nintendo DIrect: Switch 2 and So Much More!

Nintendo confirmed backward compatibility with original Switch games, which is important for current Switch owners. This implies that your current library won't be rendered obsolete right away. Additionally, Nintendo is releasing "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" upgrades for a few current games, promising improved graphics and performance on the new system. Players will be able to rediscover Hyrule with greater fidelity thanks to the announced release of these updated versions of fan favourites including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which promises a breathtaking urban journey in Lumiose City, is also scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch 2, as previously disclosed.

The Direct's software presentation was similarly stunning. Mario Kart World, the most ambitious new game in the adored racing series, is the main attraction. It seems to include an open-world component that lets players drive between various settings with ease. Donkey Kong Bananza, a brand-new 3D platforming game for the big ape, was another significant announcement. Strong third-party support for the new system was indicated by the Direct's montage of other future games, which included both fresh reveals and ports of well-known third-party games including Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, and Hades II. Long-time fans will be thrilled by Nintendo's announcement that GameCube titles will soon be available on the Nintendo Switch Online. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and F-Zero GX were among the titles displayed, giving a preview of the expanding collection of vintage games that will be available via the internet service.

A precise picture for Nintendo's immediate future was presented at the historic Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to revolutionise the gaming industry with its June 5th release date, a system brimming with new features and greater performance, and an alluring roster of both updated oldies and brand-new games. The wait is almost over; prepare to enjoy Nintendo's upcoming metamorphosis.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Return to Lumiose: A New Urban Adventure Awaits in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! Prepare yourselves, Trainers, to return to the fashionable Kalos region—but not in the way you recall! Arriving in late 2025 on the Nintendo Switch, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the next ambitious addition in the venerable Pokémon Legends series, will take us to a carefully planned "urban redevelopment" of Lumiose City. An improved version of the game has also been teased for the possible future Nintendo Switch 2.

The expansive wilderness of Hisui is no longer there; instead, Pokémon Legends: Z-A will provide a singular, confined experience that takes place solely in the futuristic city of Lumiose City. The city is being completely redesigned with the goal of making it a peaceful place for both people and Pokémon. A rich and complex universe full of mysteries and novel ways to engage with Pokémon is promised by this concentration on a single, dynamic area.

We do know that the fundamental gameplay loop will expand upon the framework established by Pokémon Legends: Arceus, even though specifics are still evaporating like a Malamar on a night without the moon. Compared to the conventional main series games, expect to study, watch, and capture Pokémon in a more straightforward and entertaining way.

The urban environment, however, points to a novel method of investigation and learning. Will we be exploring the city's underworld, negotiating the busy streets, or climbing the famous Prism Tower? It's really thrilling to think about a live, breathing metropolis full with Pokémon.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

The confirmed comeback of Mega Evolution adds even more suspense! A highlight of the first Pokémon X and Y, which was also set in Kalos, was this beloved feature that gives some Pokémon the ability to temporarily morph into formidable forms. It's exciting to see Mega Evolution, with its more action-focused gameplay, incorporated into the Legends framework.

Consider the tactical options in the midst of an actual conflict!

When it comes to combat, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is bringing things to the next level by including battles in which Trainers and Pokémon are on the pitch together, moving and acting in real time. More strategic placement and thrilling, fast-paced battles may result from this dynamic approach to fighting, which is an evolution of the system in Legends: Arceus.

The creators have made an interesting decision for people who are unsure of their first companion Pokémon, providing a trio from distinct generations: the Water-type Totodile from Johto, the Fire-type Tepig from Unova, and the Grass-type Chikorita from Johto. This surprising choice suggests the wide variety of Pokémon we may find in the new ecology of Lumiose City.

The inclusion of the mysterious character AZ, the tall figure from Pokémon X and Y, is likewise a mystery. His presence raises the possibility of a story that would explore the Kalos region's richer history and folklore and maybe provide further insight into the äлoette he so much cherishes.

Additionally, the Z-A Royale, a fight league in Lumiose City where trainers may test their abilities and advance through the ranks, is introducing a competitive aspect. This might offer a difficult distraction during the main quest or a gripping conclusion.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Even though there are still many unanswered questions regarding the overall plot and the urban reconstruction plan, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is already looking like a daring and avant-garde move for the Pokémon series. An amazing journey is promised by the emphasis on a single, bustling metropolis, the return of Mega Evolution, and the development of the Legends gameplay elements.

As the late 2025 release date approaches, stay tuned for further details. We look forward to Lumiose City's future and our role in it!
