Imagine just winning the League of Legends World Championship. How would you want to spend your time? Well, if you’re DAMWON Gaming’s Cho ‘BeryL’ Geon-hee, it’s on Genshin Impact — dropping nearly $7,000 on wishes to celebrate the victory.
Look, we’ve all looked at the wish screen in Genshin Impact and tried to justify that next roll. Maybe this time you’d land on Jean or Diluc, and you’d finally hit that power spike to keep progressing deeper into the story.
It can get pretty expensive at the end of the day. There’s plenty of stories of Twitch streamers dropping thousands into Genshin Impact, and while they might have gotten the waifu they wanted, it wasn’t worth the cost.
David Lee for Riot GamesBeryL’s DAMWON Gaming won the League of Legends 2020 World Championship, and he celebrated by spending big on Genshin Impact.
However, after winning LoL Worlds 2020, one star thought it was a good time to drop his prize money in celebration in Genshin Impact.
DAMWON Gaming support star Cho ‘BeryL’ Geon-hee reportedly spent over 7.7 million Korean Won ($6,880 USD) on Genshin Impact in the lead-up to, and after winning, the World Championship.
BeryL’s money is going to good use. Unlike his teammates, who have been streaming and playing League of Legends after winning Worlds, he’s been on the hard grind in Mondstatd and beyond with Genshin.
It’s not clear what BeryL rolled off the back of these wishes though.
He does already have Diluc, Qiqi, Fischl, and Vista in his squad, which is about as good as you could ask for. One could only imagine with nearly $7,000 of wishes how deep into his constellations he is now.
Twitter: hkbr9BeryL’s got a pretty stacked team in Genshin Impact. You’d hope so after dropping $7,000.
He’s not only been spending money on Genshin Impact either. Apparently he’s also been on the Princess Connect Re:Dive hype train.
He posted in a community forum just minutes after winning the World Championship — probably before contacting anyone else!
Meanwhile, BeryL of @DamwonGaming, only a few minutes after winning #Worlds2020, found time to drop by Princess Connect Re:Dive fan community and post:
There’s no confirmed prize pool for the League of Legends World Championship, but given numbers in previous years, BeryL’s DAMWON could have received upwards of $1 million.
Split that between the five players, and that’s a lot of Genshin Impact wishes, or other gacha-related purchases. It’s his money, and if that’s how he wants to celebrate lifting the Summoner’s Cup, then BeryL has earned it.
Activision’s integration of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War brought a load of new content to the game in Season 1, and next up is the Warzone Season 2 update. The massive patch introduced a huge overhaul to content, including new weapons, map changes, and more.
On launch day, we will be keeping you on top of all the live updates as they happen for all things Warzone. In the live blog below, we’ll be posting everything you need to be equipped properly for battle, including guides, news, leaks and reactions from streamers and fans.
Agency Suppressor and Silencer nerfs to be reverted
February 25, 9:30pm GMT
One of the new changes that CoD fans were not fond of in the new update? A secret nerf to the Agency Suppressor and other silencers. Back when BOCW integrated, the suppressor was buffed so that it helped bullet velocity and was therefore comparable to the Monolithic Suppressor. That was then nerfed in Season 2.
🛠️We will be returning the Agency/GRU/Wrapped Suppressors to their former glory in the next hotfix. #Warzone
To the satisfaction of virtually all players, those secret nerfs are going to be reverted. As Raven Software confirmed within a day of the update, Cold War suppressors will soon be, once again, buffed so that they are more viable at range.
How to get Yellow Access Cards
February 25, 8:00pm GMT
New locations and new silos may have nothing on the newest loot box, which can only be found on the new Ship POI. After you kill enough zombies, you can get a Yellow Access Card which can then be used to unlock a humming, glowing chest.
Killing Zombies at the Ship in Warzone will give you a "Yellow Key Card" that opens up yellow colored crates.
For more information on how to secure a Yellow Access Card and earn some of that sweet, exclusive loot — check out our full guide.

Warzone Season 2 Battle Pass rewards
February 25, 3:56pm GMT While we have a comprehensive guide on the Season 2 Battle Pass, our Call of Duty lead writer Albert Petrosyan has also posted a short clip running through the rewards for each tier – seen below. There’s plenty to get through this time, no doubt about it!
🚨 Full Season 2 Battle Pass in Cold War and Warzone!
February 25, 3:42pm GMT Here’s an interesting change that you might have missed in the patch notes. The gas that takes over the Warzone maps will potentially deal more damage this season, depending on how you play. The notes state: “Players that are continually in the gas will suffer more damage over time.”
It will be interesting to see how that’s received with the community.
Warzone Outbreak event
February 25, 2:50pm GMT Season 2 kicks off with a new Zombies event called Outbreak, bringing a whole load of new rewards to Call of Duty. Below you can see some of the rewards, though we do have a full list here – courtesy of Brad Norton, one of our CoD writers.

February 25, 12:28pm GMT There’s so many opinions out there in the community. What’s the best thing about the latest Warzone update – or maybe the worst? You can join the debate by tweeting with #WarzoneSeason2! We’ll feature some of the best comments below.
It looks like some players will need to abandon ship, as most of the lobby is headed right for the Tanker Ship POI.
It looks like glitches are still very much a thing, sadly.
Just won a game of Resurgence Extreme because of a weird glitch. My teammate respawned but physically wasn't on the map. So in the end my teammate was still in the game but not the map.. #warzoneseason2
