Hello everyone and thank you for tuning into Tradechat.
My name is Panser!
And today we are going to be going over all of the
hottest stories in tech and gaming from the past week.
Everything from water on Mars to Warcraft Ads on TV.
Let's Ketchup!
This week in groundbreaking scientific discoveries, scientist in Italy
may have discovered liquid water on Mars, and like a LOT of it.
Using data gathered from the European Space Agency's Mars
Express Orbiter, the researchers pinpointed what looks to be
a giant aquifer located about a mile under the Red Planet's
south pole and spanning a whopping 12.4 miles in length.
And while it hasn't been spotted directly, the team
claims to have ruled out all other possibilities of what
it could be, they also said the structure's radar
signature matches that of buried water here on Earth.
Additionally, given how immense the pressure is
around the area, as well as the concentration of
brine underneath the surface, it's actually the
perfect conditions for liquid water to thrive.
Obviously, this has huge implications for what
else may lie beneath the surface of the planet,
especially when you consider that nearly every body
of liquid water on Earth contains some form life.
So it's like, I'm not saying there's aliens on
Mars… but there's definitely aliens on Mars.
Switching up gears to gaming news, Realm Royale is one of the fastest-growing games out
there, so its no surprise that Hi Rez wants to
take it over to both PS4 and Xbox One as well.
Next week, console players will be able to experience
Realm Royale's closed beta, so if that's something
you're interested, be sure to head over to Realm
Royale's website and sign up so you can do the thing.
In other battle royale news, PUBG creator AKA The
PlayerUnknown Brendan Greene was quoted last
week as saying the game was not "esports ready".
Which is hysterical, cause their in the middle of
this huge PUBG Global Invitational right now and
their so ambitious about the game's future, but if
they can't just get this optimized and working
properly, it might not have much of a future left.
And finally, if you play Fortnite, you may already
know about the game's tombstone which was added to
commemorate Chappadoodle, a player who was accidentally
killed by a Twitch streamer attempting to rescue him.
And to no ones surprise, when a bunch of players gathered around to
mourn poor Chappadoodle, the memorial turned into an all-out bloodbath.
RIP Chappadoodle, you never asked for any of this.
Moving onto Blizzard stuff, the first-ever Overwatch League
Grand Finals happened this weekend and the London Spitfire came
out on top over Philadelphia Fusion at the Barclays Center in
Brooklyn, NY taking home the one million dollar grand prize.
This brings the Overwatch League inaugural season to a close, and
makes it one of the most memorable esports competitions in history.
This is because pretty much everyone was banking on New York Excelsior
and LA Valiant becoming the top 2 teams and duke it out for
the final but in the semifinals they were both knocked out, meaning
that not one but two underdogs competed for the grand title.
And from a marketing standpoint, this is phenomenal cause
everyone loves a good underdog story, and with all
the drama and plot twists it's sure to draw in more
viewership and bring esports more into the mainstream.
Well, at least here in North America at least. South Korea's been
doing it for a while, but, we're catching up… we're working on it.
The Battle for Azeroth is about to go down, with the expansion releasing on August 13th
at 3pm Pacific time globally and Blizzard is kicking up the hype 4 new television ads.
The four ads depict awkward and hilarious scenarios between the Horde and Alliance
IRL, and plays off of the fierce loyalty WoW players hold towards their faction.
Also feeding into the faction war are two new teasers, one for
Sylvannas, Warchief of The Horde and one for the boy king Anduin.
Both teasers seem to be a reference to last year's Battle for
Azeroth trailer, and both end with the caption "Prepare for War."
Excuse me Blizzard are you implying that I havn't been prepared for this
my whole life. Because I've been preparing for this for my whole life!
And because Blizzard felt like spoiling us this week, they also
released a new cinematic featuring Jaina Proudmoore and her back story,
which includes some stunning artwork and cinematics, and the Kul Tiran
sea shanty called "Daughter of the Sea" playing in the background.
At the end, we see Jaina raise her father's ship from the
depths of the ocean and begin her journey back to Stormwind
This cinematic short was the first in a series of three. The
next two will feature Sylvannas Windrunner and Queen Azshara.
And that is it for this weeks Ketchup. Let me know in the
comments section below which story tickled you right in the
fancy. If you'd like more information about anything I

I am gonna go but, in the meantime I hope that you
