NEW HERO: LORELAI

Lorelai is a backline support who excels at zone control and team utility. Change the tides of battle with single-target cleanses and shields.

Lorelai is unlockable with ICE only for the first seven days. Afterward, you will be able to unlock her with ICE or Glory.

HERO ABILITIES

THAT’S SWELL (HEROIC PERK)

Lorelai’s basic attacks deal crystal damage and she becomes empowered when she’s on a source of water from her abilities. Using an ability while Lorelai’s on a source of water consumes the water she’s on and empowers the ability used.

FISH FOOD (A)

Lorelai calls upon her aquatic friends at the target location. After 0.8 seconds, her pet clam snaps the area, dealing damage to enemy units inside and stunning them.

A pool filled with small piranhas persists for 8 seconds afterwards, dealing damage over time to enemy units inside

SPLASHDOWN (B)

Lorelai throws a sphere of water at target location. After a short delay, the water forms a pool for 8 seconds, speeding up allies and slowing enemies inside.

WATERWALL (ULTIMATE)

Lorelai forms a protective veil of water on target allied hero cleansing the target of any movement-impairing effects.

After a short delay, the water barrier drops on the ground, leaving behind a pool for 8 seconds.
Temporarily grants the target a large barrier.

HERO TALENTS

SPLASH DOUBLEDOWN (RARE)

Splashdown has two charges, reduced charge time and energy costs.

CLAM UP (EPIC)

Fish Food has an increased stun duration.

WONDER WALL (LEGENDARY)

Lorelai’s Ultimate now grants the targeted allied hero invulnerability instead of barrier and has a reduced cooldown

5v5 EARLY ACCESS:
PRE-REGISTER NOW!

When we started Super Evil Megacorp, we set out to challenge the notion that mobile-first gamers were somehow inferior to gamers on other platforms. We believed that every phone was a portable next-gen console, and that every mobile player deserved games just as core, strategic and performant as players on PC.

Our mission now is creating a 5v5 MOBA with the most accurate and responsive controls, with superior gameplay and strategic depth and with the best graphics and highest frame rates on mobile. Vainglory 5v5 will make no compromises, and we want you to have a chance to play before anyone else.

Pre-register for Vainglory 5v5 now for a chance at early access and exclusive rewards like unlocking the “Founding 5v5” player badge.

GLOBAL UNVEILING OF VAINGLORY 5V5

If you want to see Vainglory 5v5 played competitively for the very first time, tune in Dec. 17 to Finals Day of the 2017 Vainglory World Championship in Singapore. Worlds will feature a special segment with two 5v5 exhibition matches, and we’ll unveil live on air many of the gameplay and map details you’re searching for. Watch the broadcast live on Vainglory’s twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live pages, and we’ll also feature VODs in-game after the event ends.

In the interim, be sure to check the in-game News section and Vainglory official social media channels regularly for new reveals and tidbits of information!

MINION CHANGES:
MORE DAMAGE TO TURRETS

“With the increased amount of health on heroes, the game length of matches has increased a little. To restore order, we have increased minion damage to turrets, allowing for stronger pushes.” —Nivmett

Lead minion damage to turret increased from 72 to 100
Ranged minion damage to turrets increased from 72 to 100
Tank minion damage to turrets increased from 24 to 50

HERO BALANCE

ALPHA

“Alpha has been a reliable pick in recent updates and while we are happy she is finally seeing competitive play again, we feel she can use a slight update. This will give the enemy team more time to fight Alpha while her reboot is down. This change to the ult coupled with the aftershock nerf should bring her more into line with the others while still maintaining her identity.” —Nivmett

TERMINATION PROTOCOL

Cooldown increased from 75/65/55 to 85/75/65

ARDAN

“Ardan has been a very strong and reliable pick this update, largely because his perk has taken advantage of the health changes more than most.” —Nivmett

JULIA’S GIFT

Missing-life healed reduced from 1.5% to 0.8%

BARON

“Baron’s move speed has been unnaturally slow. This tuneup will bring him in line with Phinn (not exactly a speed demon). Changes to Jump Jets and Porcupine Mortars may open the doors for more CP Baron in the future.” —Nivmett

STATS

Move speed increased from 2.6 to 2.8

PORCUPINE MORTARS

Cooldown reduced from 5 seconds at all levels to 5/4.5/4/3.5/2.5

ON POINT

Barrier strength reduced from 125/165/205/245/325 to 120/150/180/210/270

Energy cost reduced from 50/60/70/80/100 to 30/40/50/60/70

CELESTE

“Like Catherine, Celeste was running out of energy before the fight was over. This change should keep her in the battle longer.”
—Nivmett

HELIOGENESIS

FLICKER

“While Flicker is closer to where we want him than ever before, the mad scientist may need a few more bumps to get him there.”
—Nivmett

Cooldown reduced from 14/13/12/11/10 to 14/13/12/11/9

MOONCLOAK

Stealth duration increased from 8/9/10 to 8/10/12

Crit Chance increased from 9/13/17/21/25% to 10/15/20/25/30%
Energy cost decreased from 40/50/60/70/80 to 20/25/30/35/40

BLOOD SONG

Time between stack falloff increased from 0.7 to 1 second
Stack charge time decreased from 5 to 3 seconds

GRUMPY

Damage per stack increased from 10/25/40/55/85 to 20/35/50/65/95
Crystal ratio per stack increased from 10% to 20%

IDRIS

“Weapon Power Idris is having trouble bursting down tankier targets. With this change, he will be able to juke and weave through the fight more easily.” —Nivmett

SHROUDSTEP

Cooldown decreased from 15/14/13/12/10 to 13/12/11/10/8

SHIMMER STRIKE

Now cleanses move-impairing effects on activation
Removes Churnwalker’s chain upon use.

KESTREL

“Weapon Kestrel has been a dominant force. This change will stop her from 3-4 shotting a carry while still maintaining her power against tankier targets. We’re also increasing the cooldown of her Active Camo.” —Nivmett

GLIMMERSHOT

Impact damage decreased from 100/105/110/115/130% to 100/100/100/100/100%

STATS

Health reduced from 2494 to 2394

REZA

NETHERFORM DETONATOR

Now cleanses move-impairing effects on activation

“These changes will reduce SAW’s power slightly and bring his armor and shield back in line with all the other carries.” —Nivmett

STATS

Armor and Shield reduced from 20-60 to 20-50
Weapon power reduced from 50-127 to 50-116

SAMUEL

“Samuel was running out of energy before the fights could conclude more often than not. This will help fix that.”
—Nivmett

MALICE AND VERDICT

Energy cost decreased from 50/55/60/65/70 to 40/45/50/55/60

SKYE

“Slight tuneup for Skye increasing her early-game power, especially while the energy cost reduction will help her maintain her signature playstyle” —Nivmett

FORWARD BARRAGE

Damage increased from 120/160/200/240/320 to 140/180/220/260/340
Energy Cost decreased from 60/75/90/105/120 to 40/50/60/70/80

SKAARF

“Everyone’s favorite dragon is a bit healthier.” —Nivmett
STATS

Health increased from 638-1992 to 638-2112

PETAL

“Petal has been strong for quite some time — and while it’s great to see her picked frequently in competitive play, her damage combined with range and mobility were too much. This tunedown will bring her in line with the other weapon carries.” —Nivmett

TRAMPOLINE

Weapon amp reduced from 20% to 15%
Crystal amp reduced from 20% to 15%

REIM

“These changes will help push Reim toward his intended playstyle as a sustain crystal bruiser rather than some sort of crystal sustain, burst bruiser. In short, he will deal significantly less damage but generate more fortified health. In addition, the range change to Winter Spire will allow him to fight ranged heroes a bit easier in the early game.” —Nivmett

FROST GUARD

Crystal ratio on basic-attack reduced from 90% to 70%
Damage to fortified health increased from 18% to 25%

WINTER SPIRE

Crystal ratio on second spire reduced from 110% to 100%
Range increased from 5/5.5/6/6.5/7.5 to 6/6/6/6/7.5

TWIRLING SILVER

Energy cost decreased from 50/55/60/65/70 to 30/35/40/45/50

GWEN

“A bit of extra bang for Gwen not only for her crystal path but to her cooldowns as well.” —Nivmett

BUCKSHOT BONANZA

Crystal ratio increased from 210% to 225%
Cooldown decreased from 12/11/10/9/6 to 10/9/8/7/5

Damage reduced from 15% to 14% max health

CLOCKWORK
“Slight tuneup to the energy items in the game, so that buying an energy item feels more impactful.” —Nivmett

Energy Regen increased from 7.5 to 10
Energy increased from 250 to 600

CRUCIBLE
“Crucible was decreasing in health when you combined its recipe. This will address that issue.” —Nivmett

Duration increased from 1 to 1.5
Health increased from 650 to 700

DRAGONHEART
“Dragonheart was a bit too efficient.” —Nivmett

Health decreased from 500 to 450

ECHO
“Echo has been a rockstar in the last few updates, and while we love the big plays that result with the double ults, we would like to see a little less of that while still giving you the option to echo non-ultimate abilities.” —Nivmett

Base cooldown decreased from 15 to 10
Echo multiplier cooldown increased from 115% to 150%
Energy regen increased from 4 to 6
Energy increased from 300 to 350

ENERGY BATTERY
“Slight tuneup to the energy items in the game, so that buying an energy item feels more impactful.” —Nivmett

Bonus Energy increased from 150 to 200

EVE OF HARVEST
“See above.” —Nivmett

Energy regen increased from 5 to 7
Energy increased from 250 to 400

FROSTBURN
“Despite the Frostburn changes making the item very powerful, the decreased crystal and increased price made it a disadvantageous purchase. By bringing it to a lower price point, it is now attractive not only as a solid pickup but also serves crystal heroes as a kite-for-survival tool if they pick it up early enough.” —Nivmett

Price decreased from 2800 to 2600
Sell price decreased from 1400 to 1300

HALCYON CHARGERS

“More love for energy.” —Nivmett

- - - Energy Regen increased from 4.0 to 6
    - Energy increased from 250 to 400

- - - Sell price increased from 50 to 125

PIERCING SHARD
“This will allow for a more efficient early counter item for crystal carries.” —Nivmett

- - - Shield pierce increased from 12% to 18%

REFLEX BLOCK
“With the increased amount of crowd control, it’s only fair we increased the amount of time Reflex Block protected you.” —Nivmett

- - - Duration increased from 1 to 1.5

TORNADO TRIGGER
“Tornado Trigger was proving to be a bit too efficient for its cost. This change will tune down the damage of double Tornado Trigger.” —Nivmett

- - - Bonus Crit damage reduced from 20% to 15%

SPELLFIRE
“While we know the direction we want Spellfire to go, the item didn’t become efficient enough until you have a substantial amount of crystal power. This change will allow it to be an earlier buy.”
—Nivmett

- - - Passive burn damage changed from 100% of crystal power over 4 seconds to 15-50 (level 1-12) + 100% of crystal power over 4 seconds.

“Same story: Slight tuneup to the energy items in the game, so that buying an energy item feels more impactful.”
—Nivmett

  - Fixed an issue where Frostburn’s slow bypassed effects such as Reflex Block, Crucible, Gythian Wall, etc.
  - Fixed an issue where some dashes would follow targets far beyond their intended range
  - Play menu videos added to game mode screens
  - Zoom-in and zoom-out functionality added to tablet devices
  - Header in HEROES tab now hides and reveals intuitively

Evil Laughter Ensues

Here is the trouble with brains: they are encased in thick skulls where they cannot be properly stimulated except by brute and inaccurate force. In a feat of great brilliance, after several mostly-successful fairy brain removals, I have detached my own brain from my body. Here it is! Look at it! Isn’t it beautiful?

With this ingenious battery pack that I developed, I poke electric current into my brain when I wish to enjoy a new clever idea. Behold!

ZAP!

Ah-ha! A self-propelled machine with two juxtaposed blade cutters, each associated with an electric motor…

ZAP!

…and an electronic system for controlling the forward movement of said machine…

ZAP!

…hehehe ho ho oh my dear no. I must have stimulated the ticklish bit that time. Hehehehe… let’s make it stop now…

…with a memorized algorithm for seeking botanical surfaces to be utterly – hahaha! – mowed down. I shall call it the Lawn Mower. The Meekos won’t know what hit them! My genius astounds even me.

Fight Night

SUGARVENOM: Hello and welcome to Fight Night on the Halcyon Fold! I’m here with Playoffbeard live at the final matchup of the evening, the one you’ve all been waiting for: ‘One Punch’ Ardan is all set to defend his title from Meat Truck, the up-and-comer who’s been running over his opponents.

PLAYOFFBEARD: The smack talk has been brutal over the last several weeks. Meat Truck is notorious for getting into opponents’ heads on social media, but Ardan maintained that he respects all of his opponents and just wanted a good clean fight …

SUGARVENOM: … that is, until Meat Truck posted, and I quote: “MAYBE IF ARDAN BETTER FIGHTER, JULIA STILL BE ALIVE.”

PLAYOFFBEARD: Yikes.

SUGARVENOM: That’s when the drama started. Now there’s no love lost between these two.

PLAYOFFBEARD: Ardan is pacing the cage, maintaining eye contact with Meat Truck while the ref gives instructions. SugarVenom, do you think Ardan is feeling the pressure?

SUGARVENOM: If he is, he isn’t showing it. Ardan is the most focused fighter to have competed in this cage, but he’ll still have to use every advantage to secure a K.O. tonight.

PLAYOFFBEARD: Meat Truck will be looking for one big hit to end the fight early, but we’re going to see a clear dexterity advantage from Ardan.

SUGARVENOM: Dexterity won’t help when Meat Truck decides to charge – but he might eat Ardan’s power gauntlet on contact.

PLAYOFFBEARD: Of course, we all know what the fans are excited to see …

SUGARVENOM: … Ardan’s flying elbow drop.

PLAYOFFBEARD: It’s such a deadly finisher. If Ardan can pull it off early, I’d bet that Meat Truck won’t leave many tire tracks in this cage.

SUGARVENOM: And there’s the bell. Round one has begun!

Read Part I: The Lost Temple of Ra

The Sun God Awakens

There was no sign of the guardian in the buried dark, only the smell of ancient magic. The Horus King’s torch cast an eerie glow over glyphs carved into the walls depicting forgotten wars and warning visitors.

Through the labyrinthine mastaba the king traversed. Again and again he turned around at the sealed door to a tomb of one or another of his ancestors, pharaohs all, until he could no longer recall the direction of the obelisk. He trained his mind away from confusion and pushed forward into the heavy silence.

At last he discovered the base of the obelisk. The Horus King placed his hand at the center of a sun glyph and the great door opened down into the floor. Sand poured down as the obelisk trembled and changed shape. The pyramidion high above turned and opened to the bright hot sky. The Horus King stepped inside the obelisk, now illuminated with sunlight, and approached the dais where the sun god laid motionless.

The Horus King waited as the sun bathed Ra’s resting form. From above, bright-colored sand blew in through the windows and swirled down.

At last, Ra awakened. He sat up, sand falling from his headdress and coating the ever-youthful skin of his chest, arms and legs. In the sunlight he was a sparkling vision. The Horus King bowed to his beauty and power, his head down, until Ra touched him on the shoulder.

“Why has the Horus King awakened the Sun God?” asked Ra. Behind his voice was ill-concealed laughter.

“The Glass City has fallen to a great power,” said the Horus King. His voice, though muted behind his mask, was grave. “Our people have fled to the desert.”

“From where came this power?” asked Ra.

“From the Fabled Well,” answered the Horus King. “Poisonous and wild things have emerged from its depths that we have never seen.”

“The Churn has come,” sighed Ra. “You should have awakened me sooner.”

“Your temple was buried in a sandstorm brought on by this Churn,” said the Horus King.

“Your only hope now lies in your children’s children,” said Ra. “When the Churn has passed, they will unearth from the wreckage of the Glass City your people’s writings, art, architecture and bones.”

“No,” said the Horus King. “We will fight this Churn, you and I.”

Ra laughed. “Such pride!”

“You built the Fabled Well long ago to fight this Churn. Since then, my people have learned much about magic, technology, and other powers. Something new can be done.”

“Very well,” said the Sun God, impressed despite himself. “I will travel with you to the Glass City and see –”

He was interrupted by a rumbling growl from the tombs.

“You have not yet defeated the guardian?” scoffed the Sun God.

The Horus King drew his spear. Without answering, he left the bright obelisk and followed the terrifying noise into the dark tomb.

Keep reading for all the details. …

NEW HERO: CHURNWALKER

Churnwalker is a disruptor who throws multiple skillshot hooks, chaining victims to him. This playmaking captain has some of the highest damage and self-healing capabilities in the game … if you can tap into his full potential.

Churnwalker is unlockable with ICE only for the first seven days. Afterward, you will be able to unlock him with ICE or Glory.

HERO ABILITIES

FUTILITY OF LIFE (HEROIC PERK)

– Whenever chained victims take damage from any source, Churnwalker regenerates a percentage of that damage as health.
– Whenever any chained victim takes damage, a percentage of that damage is conferred on all other chained victims.

HOOK & CHAIN (A)

Churnwalker throws a skillshot hook that chains victims to him and damages heroes over time. Hitting a hook resets this ability’s cooldown.

TORMENT (B)

Torment yanks all chained victims toward Churnwalker a fixed distance, damaging them.

TRESPASS (ULTIMATE)

Churnwalker channels churn power for a short time, then travels to the target location, stunning all chained victims and breaking all chains. Churnwalker can only target a location near a chained victim. Leveling this ability increases its stun duration and lowers its cooldown.

HERO TALENTS

CHURN TANK (RARE)

Futility of Life (Perk) has significantly increased healing but decreased damage share.

CLOUD OF TORMENT (EPIC)

Activating Torment (B) releases a powerful Churn Cloud that damages enemies over time, making Churnwalker a dangerous threat at close range. Cooldown increased.

GRAPPLING HOOK (LEGENDARY)

Churnwalker’s Hook & Chain (A) gains a grappling hook. This ability has dramatically increased range and can grapple to targets, pulling Churnwalker to the hooked location.

CRYSTAL TREE REWORK:
DISTINCT ITEM IDENTITIES & MORE DIVERSITY

“Welcome to the crystal tree rework! There were two large goals we wanted to hit with this project: First, we wanted to create clear item identities — items should be distinct from each other and be clear what kind of playstyle they support, which makes it clear for opponents facing these items, as well. Second, we wanted to create more meaningful decisions when purchasing crystal items; it should never be about building the same items over and over again every game.

“With these changes, players should be able to piece together a completed crystal build that best complements their style, their hero and their team composition, as well as effectively counterbuilding against how their opponents are playing.” —Sonata

CLOCKWORK

“The old Clockwork had a mismatched item identity and lacked meaningful decision-making. The new Clockwork brands itself as the premier cooldown reduction item for mages and can be purchased early game for an aggressive power spike or late game to complement other crystal items. It’s a great purchase for players who want to deal consistent damage or poke.” —Sonata

Total cost: 2500
Recipe: Void Battery and Chronograph
+60 crystal power
+35% cooldown speed

Passive: Upon damaging an enemy hero with an ability, reduce all cooldowns by 7.5%. This can only occur once every 2 seconds.

FROSTBURN

“The old Frostburn provided unreliable slows, so it wasn’t clear when you should opt into it or when it was available. The new Frostburn provides a hero with reliable slows at the cost of damage potential, and it is great for players who want to opt into a kite or dueling-oriented playstyle, or players who want to support their team through providing an additional source of slow.” —Sonata

Total cost: 2800
Recipe: Heavy Prism and Eclipse Prism
+85 crystal power
Passive: Crystal damage abilities slow enemy heroes by 30% for 1 second.

BROKEN MYTH

“With the addition of Dragon’s Eye, Broken Myth lost its passive but hones in on its shield-piercing properties. Broken Myth is now defined as the go-to item for players who want to punch a hole in enemies with heavy amounts of shield.” —Sonata

Total cost: 2700
Recipe: Heavy Prism and Piercing Shard
+80 crystal power
Shieldbreaker: +30% shield pierce

NEW ITEMS!

DRAGON’S EYE

“The old Broken Myth passive amplified crystal damage and had a longer time until stack decay, which made it only desired by crystal carries and made fighting against poke more oppressive. As the descendent of the old Broken Myth passive, Dragon’s Eye is a great buy for players who want to go in and stay in, including supports! The dance of keeping stacks up also emphasizes skillful play from those who want to kite.” —Sonata

Total cost: 3000
Recipe: Heavy Prism and Eclipse Prism
+85 crystal power
Passive: Gain 20 crystal power for each second you are damaging enemy heroes. After 2.5s, lose 3 stacks per second. 9 stacks max.

SPELLFIRE

“Spellfire is an item meant to complement players who want to opt into a more poke- and disengage-oriented playstyle. At the cost of max damage potential, this item allows players to deal more damage in multiple segmented skirmishes instead of burst or prolonged engagements.” —Sonata

Total cost: 2700
Recipe: Heavy Prism and Eclipse Prism
+90 crystal power
Passive: Abilities dealing crystal damage to enemies (excluding lane minions) deal 100% of your crystal power as bonus crystal damage over 4s.

TEAMFIGHT HEALTH UPDATE:
PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT

“In conjunction with the crystal tree rework, the teamfight health update is meant to clearly differentiate burst damage, sustained damage, poke, etc., across all heroes. These changes should give you more opportunities to stretch your hero’s limits, while making defensive choices more meaningful.” —Sonata

See heroes and items affected by these changes in the balance sections below.

VISION CHANGES:
GAME-CHANGING CLARITY

“We’re making changes to our in-game visibility systems to improve the look and feel of combat in Vainglory. Hero vision range has been significantly increased to enhance visual clarity and reduce the need for Flares in stand-off skirmishes where stealthed heroes are not present. Landing a blind skillshot on an enemy in brush or otherwise out of your line-of-sight will now grant you vision of the target, and vice versa, preventing any instances of invisible damage from occurring. We hope these new interactions will allow players to create more moments of opportunistic gameplay when using their abilities in creative manners.” —s4v0r

VISION RADIUS
- Hero vision radius increased by 50%
UNIT REVEALER

BASIC ATTACKS

Will reveal the attacker to the defender for 2.2 seconds.
Will not reveal the defender.

ABILITY DAMAGE

Will reveal the attacker and defender for 1.5 seconds.
Will reveal jungle minions, including Kraken
Will not reveal lane minions or summons
Lingering damage-over-time effects will not reveal

Example: Skaarf’s initial Spitfire impact damage will reveal, but the burn will not.

STEALTH

The new revealer does not impede stealth.

Example: Before Update 2.9, some attack or ability debuffs would apply an over-the-head “revealed” state to enemies, making them fully visible. This is no longer the case with any of the new unit reveals.

DAMAGE TYPE CONSISTENCY & LANE-MINION DAMAGE NORMALIZATION

DAMAGE TYPE CONSISTENCY

“There were a few instances of abilities being considered other types of damage. This has now been remedied and effects that trigger on ability damage will now function properly in the following cases.” —Zekent

See heroes affected by these changes in the balance change section below.
LANE-MINION DAMAGE NORMALIZATION

“There are many abilities that deal less damage to lane minions, preventing the hero from clearing minion waves too quickly. The damage reduction was not consistent; however, and some abilities had unique calculations to determine how much damage the lane minions would receive. We’re simplifying this by making the aforementioned abilities deal 50% less damage to lane minions and, in some cases, to structures and bosses as well. The only exception is Baron’s Rocket Launcher (perk), which will still deal 80% less damage to minions.” —Doomnyr

See heroes affected by these changes in the balance change section below.

- Piercing now ignores a percentage of defenses on a target instead of having a percentage of damage bypass it completely.

- Captured Kraken base health increased 25%

The Reunion of Sun and Moon
Read about ‘Moon Princess’ Celeste

One autumn, while Celeste was on the moon for her annual mooncake tasting, she noticed in the distance the silhouette of a grand palace.

“What is that?” asked Celeste with her mouth full of cherry mooncake.

A nearby bunny looked up from her clipboard, on which she was marking Celeste’s preferences. “That’s where the Moon Queen lives,” she said. “She rules over us all because she loves us.”

“No!” cried another bunny. “She’s the Moon Empress. She’s here because she drank a potion that made her fly up to the moon and now she’s stuck here.”

“She chose to be here,” said a third bunny. “She’s a Moon Goddess. She used to be in love with the Sun God, but he broke her heart. She chose to become the Moon Goddess so she would be on the other side of the world from him.”

“Is she a bunny?” asked Celeste.

“No. She’s like you,” said the bunny. “Except her name is Lyra, and she has antlers, and she’s always sad.”

Celeste brushed the crumbs from her hands and set off to the palace, leaving the bunnies to their bickering.

Lyra answered the door herself. She narrowed her eyes at Celeste.

“Stand up straight,” she ordered.

Celeste stood up straight and cleared her throat. “I thought you might like some cherry mooncakes. They’re the bunnies’ newest flavor.“

“No, thank you,” said Lyra. “The Autumn Festival is for family. I am all alone.”

“Why do you live on the moon alone?” asked Celeste.

“The man I love lives on the sun,” said the Empress. “He stopped the sun in the sky so he could look at me all day and all night. So the sun shone all the time on one place, and the rest of the world was cold and dark.”

“That’s bad,” whispered Celeste.

“So my people banished me to the moon, so that the man I love would have to chase the moon all day and all night.”

“The Autumn Festival is for family and moon-watching,” said Celeste. “The man you love should be here on the moon with you.”

The Empress’ eyes brightened, and for the first time, she did not look sad. “But how would he get here?”

Celeste whistled and a comet flew by. She grabbed its tail and flew off the moon and all the way to the sun, where she found a man napping all alone in a sun-apple orchard.

“Are you the man who chases the moon?” asked Celeste, tapping at the man’s forehead.

“Yes,” grumbled the man.

“You’re late for the Autumn Festival,” said Celeste. She climbed a tree and tossed down a bunch of sun apples. “Bring these. We already have mooncakes.”

“Mooncakes? We’re going to the moon?” The grumpy man’s voice softened as he gathered the sun apples.

“Come on.” Celeste held out her hand and the man grabbed it, and when the comet swung around again they rode it all the way back to the moon palace. All together, they celebrated the Autumn Festival with cherry mooncakes and sun apples and hugs.

Sep 27, 2017

Be a part of the biggest moment in Vainglory history.

From December 14-17, the world’s 12 best teams return to where it all began to compete for the highest honor in Vainglory esports. Not only will the 2017 World Champion be crowned, but you will also experience the global unveiling of Vainglory 5v5 in an epic showmatch, live on stage at the Kallang Theatre in Singapore.

Seven championship teams from across the globe have already qualified: Impunity (Singapore), Elite8 (Southeast Asia), Rox Armada (Korea), ACE Gaming (Korea), Hunters (China), Cloud9 (North America) and DetonatioN Gaming (Japan/wildcard). Five more Worlds spots will be won this Autumn season from China, North America, Europe, South America and a to-be-announced wildcard selection.

Be there for the birth of 5v5 and witness the world champion being crowned, as one team and region achieves Vainglory immortality.

GLOBAL WILDCARD SELECTION: DETONATION GAMING (JP)

DetonatioN Gaming, the No. 1 team out of Japan, has been selected as the 2017 Vainglory World Championship global wildcard. DetonatioN has consistently been among the top performers in the hyper-competitive East Asia region of Vainglory8, and they return to Worlds looking to capitalize on the experience and success of their performance last year. DetonatioN Gaming finished third in the Summer season of EA Vainglory8 behind ACE Gaming and Rox Armada, both of which have already qualified for Worlds at seasonal champions.

One World Championship wildcard remains, based on North America’s Cloud9 repeating as champions in both the Spring and Summer Unified Championship.

The True Conspiracy

Read Part I: The Theft of the Wizard’s Brew

In a grand green courtyard at the center of the City of Emeralds, the Scarecrow King played croquet with the blade of a scythe. His advisor, a little woman of striking beauty, read off that day’s conspiracies.

“The Stargazers have decreed that the world is flat, and the stars are pinpricks in a giant black curtain,” she said.

“Ridiculous,” mused the scarecrow as the blade smacked a ball through a hoop. “You may proclaim that one false.”

The advisor drew an “F” next to the Stargazer’s conspiracy on her tablet. “The Magicians have decreed that the Witch did nothing wrong, and was executed without due process,” she continued. “They have used their magic to turn the minions against the new Queen of the West.”

The scarecrow shook his head, so that his pin-and-needle brain tinkled. “The Magicians forget the Witch’s reign of terror, but I do not. She once called upon her minions to tear me to pieces, and I had to be stitched back together again. The Magicians will be stopped.”

The advisor scribbled this note next to the Magician’s conspiracy, then said, “The Felinologists have decreed that the King of the Forest has traveled to the City of Emeralds.”

The scarecrow paused his play. “The King of the Forest is my friend. This conspiracy may be true. Send for the Felinologists and have the king brought to me at once.”

The little woman scuttled away and soon returned with the King of the Forest, his mane still fairy-braided with ribbons, his ears twitching with fright at every sound.

“My old friend,” said the scarecrow, petting the lion’s nose. “It has been years since we last met.“

“Your people did not believe me when I told them who I am,” said the lion.

“My people lived for a generation under the Wizard, who forced everyone to wear green-glassed spectacles so they would believe that they lived in a city of emeralds,” said the Scarecrow. “I removed their spectacles and showed them that their city is like any other, and so they made me their king. Now they believe nothing, and my duty as the wisest in the land is to proclaim their conspiracies true or false.”

“Your people are wise for crowning you. The animals of the forest were unwise to choose me as their king, for without the wizard’s brew I am a coward, and the fairies drank my entire supply. Tell me that within the wizard’s old quarters there is some of that brew left over!”

The scarecrow knew that, even if there were some drops left of the wizard’s brew, it was a temporary solution to the lion’s lifelong problem. So he devised a wise plan that would solve two problems in one.

“There is a fountain of wizard’s brew in the West,” the scarecrow lied, pulling the ribbons from the lion’s mane. “Let us go together to visit our friend, the Queen of the West, and collect that brew for you.”

And so the pair set off toward the West.

The Path of the Monster

Read Part I: The Gambler

At the back of a bustling tea room, a hostess in a pink kimono giggled as she chose a card from a fanned-out deck in the gambling boss’ hand. “Put it back, but don’t let me see it,” he demanded, leaning in close.

In the front, dice rattled in cups, cards shuffled and coins changed hands. The blind Grangor stood at the sliding paper door that separated the front room from the back, his arms crossed. Serene hostesses in matching pink kimonos glided through the tea house. “Irasshaimase,” they called, guiding patrons to their reserved gambling tables.

The Grangor sniffed. “Something isn’t right,” he muttered.

“Is this your card?” murmured the gambler to the woman as he flicked a card out of the deck.

“No,” said the woman, her eyes wide and disappointed.

“Something is coming.” The Grangor aimed one ear out the window toward the bay. The floor trembled, then settled. Somewhere outside, glass broke. A terrified moth flew in the window and hid in the Grangor’s fur.

“Relax. We’re in the rowdiest neighborhood in Taizen Gate. Glass tends to break here,” said the gambler. He set down the deck, drifted his fingertips behind the woman’s ear, and produced a card from her hair. “Is this your card?”

And then the building fell apart around them.

***

On a pile of rubble still crackling with atomic energy, the gambler sat glugging from his flask. The blind Grangor sniffed the air, his ears twitching, the fur on his back standing up.

“What was that?” demanded the Grangor.

The Gambler smacked his lips. “A monster.”

“I could hear that much. And smell.”

“Some kind of reptile. It had horns and glowing blue spikes. And it breathed… something blue and sparking.”

“That isn’t natural.”

“Nothing from Boiling Bay is natural.”

In the city behind them, the monster stomped its way through Taizen Gate. Below them, the Churn fog roiled along Boiling Bay, enveloping the sparking, crumbled old amusement park rides. The tea houses where the gambler had set up his operations were nothing but paper and burnt bamboo. Poker cards fluttered through the air and burnt dice scattered where he’d planted the now-charred Churn orchids and cherry trees. The monster’s roar echoed over the distance as his golden hook caught and dragged down airships. The city was alight with atomic pulses and sparks.

“Well then,” said the Grangor, “let’s go.”

“Back to our worthless back room poker games in the Undersprawl, then,” sighed the gambler, capping his flask with his teeth.

“I didn’t team up with you, come all the way here, establish my good name and then ruin it all humiliating Second Boss just to go back to the Undersprawl.” The Grangor gave his hindquarters a good scratch and began making his careful way down the ruins of the tea house.

“That thing is flattening Taizen Gate right now, old friend. You need to know when to give up.”

“He isn’t a thing,” called the Grangor. “He’s a weapon. I’m going to find out who he works for.”

“What will you do?” asked the mystified gambler. “Ask him for the name of his employer?”

“First, I’m going to find out what he isn’t destroying. Then I’m going to get a monster head for my trophy room.”

The gambler rubbed his temples with thumb and forefinger, then followed the Grangor into the path of the monster.

You further acknowledge and agree that you shall not upload or otherwise transmit on or through the Site or the Game any Content that is subject to any third-party rights.

B. Consent to Monitoring. Super Evil does not, and cannot, pre-screen or monitor all Content. However, its representatives may monitor and/or record your communications (including, without limitation, Forum postings and/or Chat) when you are playing the Game or using the Site, and you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring and recording. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the submission of any Content. Super Evil does not assume any responsibility or liability for Content that is generated by users of the Site and/or Game. Super Evil has the right but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to edit, refuse to post, or remove any Content. Furthermore, Super Evil also reserves the right, at all times and in its sole discretion, to disclose any Content for any reason, including, without limitation (i) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement; (iii) to protect the legal rights and remedies of Super Evil; (iv) where someone’s health or safety may be threatened; or (v) to report a crime or other offensive behavior. Please take care to not provide any personally identifiable information in the Chat or the Forums and to abide by the Code of Conduct, understanding that you do not have an expectation of privacy in the Content you provide in the Chat or Forums, and that members of Super Evil and the Community, outside of those you play directly with or against in the Game, might have access to the information in the Chat or the Forums at any time.

C. Forums. If you have a valid and active Account, you may post communications and other content to the “forums” section of the Site (the “Forums”). You agree to abide by the Code of Conduct, as well as the policy concerning Links (found below) while participating in the Forums. You understand that much of the information included in the Forums is from other players who are not employed by or under the control of Super Evil. You further acknowledge that a large volume of information is available in the Forums and that people participating in such Forums may occasionally post messages or make statements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that are inaccurate, misleading, deceptive, abusive or even unlawful. Super Evil neither endorses nor is responsible for such messages or statements, or for any opinion, advice, information or other utterance made or displayed in the Forums by you or the other users. The opinions expressed in the Forums reflect solely the opinions of you and/or the other users and may not reflect the opinions of Super Evil. Super Evil is not responsible for any errors or omissions in postings, for hyperlinks embedded in messages or for any results obtained from the use of the information contained in the Forums. Under no circumstances will Super Evil be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on the information in the Forums or your use of the Forums.

When you disclose any information in a Forum, you do so at your own risk. Super Evil reserves the right to, but has no obligation to, monitor the Forums, or any postings or other materials that you or other players transmit or post on the Forums, to alter or remove any such materials, and to disclose such materials and the circumstances surrounding their transmission to any third party in order to operate the Site properly or to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests.

VII. UPDATES AND MODIFICATIONS

A. Agreement. Super Evil reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to revise, update, change, modify, add to, supplement, or delete certain terms of this Agreement as the Properties evolve; provided, however, that material changes to this Agreement will not be applied retroactively. Such changes will be effective with or without prior notice to you. You can review the most current version of this Agreement by clicking on the “Terms of Use” link located at the bottom of the Site. You are responsible for checking this Agreement periodically for changes. If any future changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in agreement or compliance with this Agreement, you must terminate this Agreement and immediately stop using the Properties. Your continued use of any of the Properties following any revision to this Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes. If at any time you do not agree with any portion of the then-current version of a particular Super Evil policy, including but not limited to this Agreement, you must immediately stop using the Properties.

B. The Properties. In an effort to improve the Properties, you agree that Super Evil may change, modify, update, suspend, “nerf,” or restrict your access to any features or parts of the Properties, including purchased or unlockable content, and may require that you download and install updates to the Software, at any time without notice or liability to you. You also understand and agree that any such changes or updates to the Properties might change the system specifications necessary to play the Game, and in such a case, you, and not Super Evil, are responsible for purchasing any necessary additional software and/or hardware in order to access and play the Game.

VIII. LINKS

The Site may contain links to websites operated by other parties. Super Evil provides these links to you as a convenience, or other users might be posting these links as user-provided Content. Use of these links and the external websites are at your own risk. The linked sites are not under the control of Super Evil, and Super Evil is not responsible for the content available on the other sites. Such links do not imply endorsement by Super Evil of information or material on any other site, and Super Evil disclaims all liability with regard to your access to and use of such linked websites.

Should you choose to provide a link on the Site or within the Game (e.g., on the Forums or via Chat) to an external website, unless otherwise set forth in a written agreement between you and Super Evil, you acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) the appearance, position and other aspects of the link may not be such as to damage or dilute the goodwill associated with Super Evil’ and/or its licensors’ names and trademarks; (ii) the appearance, position and other attributes of the link may not create the false appearance that your organization or entity is sponsored by, affiliated with, or associated with Super Evil; (iii) when selected by a user, the link must display the external website on full-screen and not within a “frame” on the linking Site; and (iv) Super Evil reserves the right to revoke its consent to the link at any time and in its sole discretion.

IX. FEES

Some aspects of the Game may require you to pay a fee, and you agree that you will provide accurate and complete payment information to the third-party payment provider used by Super Evil. You further agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. Super Evil may revise the pricing for the Game or any item associated therewith at any time. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes due and payable. Super Evil may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement its fees and fee-billing methods, and such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting in this Agreement or elsewhere on the Site or in the Game. If there is a dispute regarding payment of fees to Super Evil, your Account may be closed without warning or notice at the sole discretion of Super Evil.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES FOR FEE-BASED SERVICES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. YOU ARE FULLY LIABLE FOR ALL CHARGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES.

X. NOTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (DMCA) If you are a copyright owner or agent thereof and believe that content posted on the Site by a Super Evil user infringes upon your copyright, please submit notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) to the Super Evil Copyright Agent with the following information:

D. Your address, telephone number, and email address;

E. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

F. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Super Evil’s Copyright Agent can be reached by mail at: Super Evil Mega Corp, 400 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401, ATTN: Copyright Agent; or by email at: support@superevilmegacorp.com. Attachments cannot be accepted at the email address for security reasons. Accordingly, any notification of infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed. Please note that these notifications are legal notices, and that Super Evil may provide copies of such notices to the participants in the dispute or to third parties, at its discretion or as required by law.

XI. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

THE PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUPER EVIL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHICH MIGHT APPLY TO THE PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR QUALITY OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE PROPERTIES. SUPER EVIL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROPERTIES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE PROPERTIES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELECTING THE PROPERTIES TO ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED RESULTS, AND FOR THE INSTALLATION OF, USE OF, AND RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE PROPERTIES.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the forgoing disclaimer may, in whole or in part, not apply to you.

XII. INDEMNIFICATION

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SUPER EVIL FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND COSTS (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE OR RESULT FROM YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THE PROPERTIES, OR ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Super Evil reserves the right, at its own expense and in its sole and absolute discretion, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Super Evil in asserting any available defenses.

XIII. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL Super Evil BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOOD WILL, OR LOST PROFITS), OR ANY DAMAGES FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES) ARISING FROM YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THE PROPERTIES, EVEN IF Super Evil KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL Super Evil BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF ANY AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO Super Evil FOR GAME-RELATED TRANSACTIONS, IF ANY, DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TIME YOUR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of Super Evil shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

XIV. EQUITABLE REMEDIES

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Super Evil would suffer irreparable harm if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Consequently, in addition to such monetary and other relief as may be recoverable at law, you agree that Super Evil shall be entitled to specific performance or other injunctive relief, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, as remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Additionally, in the event any legal or administrative action or proceeding is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement and consistent with Section XV below, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party as the result of the action or proceeding.

XV. NEGOTIATIONS, BINDING ARBITRATION AND GOVERNING LAW

A. Negotiations. Disputes can be expensive and time consuming for both parties. In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute or claim related to this Agreement (“Claim”), you and Super Evil agree to first attempt to informally negotiate any Claim for at least thirty (30) days (except those Claims expressly excluded in Section XV.F below). Super Evil will send its notice to the address it has on file to the extent that you have provided additional contact information to Super Evil (e.g. by participating in a promotion or survey, or contacting a customer services representative). Otherwise, Super Evil will send its notice to the email address associated with your Account. You will send your notice to Super Evil Mega Corp 400 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401, Attn: Legal Department. Please note that this informal resolution procedure does not suspend any statutory limitation periods applicable to the bringing of a Claim.

B. Binding Arbitration. If the parties fail to resolve a Claim through negotiations, within such thirty (30)-day period, either you or Super Evil may elect to have the Claim (except as otherwise provided in Section XV.F) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. Both the AAA Rules and the AAA Consumer Rules can be found at the AAA website, www.adr.org. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section XV.B and either the AAA Rules or the AAA Consumer Rules, the terms in this Section XV.B will control and prevail.

Except as otherwise set forth in Section XV.F, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Super Evil will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Super Evil may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision is final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND Super Evil ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

C. Arbitration Fees. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by the AAA Rules for initiating the arbitration. Your share of all other fees and costs of the arbitration, including your share of arbitrator compensation, will be charged pursuant to the AAA Rules, and where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. Where your share of the costs is deemed to be excessive by the arbitrator, Super Evil will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.

D. Location. The arbitration will take place in your hometown area if you so notify Super Evil in your notice of arbitration or within ten (10) days following receipt of Super Evil’ arbitration notice. In the absence of a notice to conduct the arbitration in your hometown area, the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances. Any Claim not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction in San Mateo, California, United States of America, and you and Super Evil agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

E. Limitations. You and Super Evil agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Super Evil and you individually. YOU AND Super Evil AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER.

F. Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Super Evil agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claims seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Super Evil’ intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such courts’ jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

G. Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Other laws may apply if you choose to access the Game from outside of the United States. In such an event, those local laws shall affect this Agreement only to the extent necessary in that jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be interpreted to give maximum effect to the terms and conditions in this Agreement. You are responsible for compliance with all local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable. The New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act of 1993 (the “Act”) may apply to the Game if you access the Game from, and are a resident of, New Zealand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Act applies then you may have other rights or remedies as set out in the Act which may apply in addition to or instead of those set out in this Agreement.

H. Severability. You and Super Evil agree that if any portion this Section XV is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section XV.F), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section XV.F is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Super Evil will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section XV.F found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and Super Evil agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

XVI. TERMINATION

This Agreement (and all subsequent modifications, if any) shall remain effective until terminated. Both you and Super Evil may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or for no reason. Termination by Super Evil will be effective upon notice to you, termination or deletion of your Account, or its decision to permanently discontinue offering and/or supporting the Game, which it may do at any time in its sole discretion. You may terminate this Agreement at any time simply by not using the Site or the Game. If, however, you wish to terminate your Account, you must affirmatively do so by notifying Super Evil at support@superevilmegacorp.com as stated above. Upon termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Properties shall immediately cease.

XVII. MISCELLANEOUS

A. Assignment. Super Evil may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign the Agreement without Super Evil’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.

B. Customer Contact. If you have any questions concerning these terms and conditions, or if you would like to contact Super Evil for any other reason, please contact Super Evil support at support@superevilmegacorp.com, or visit the “support” tab on the Site.

C. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the complete agreement between you and Super Evil concerning the Site, the Game, and the subject matter of the Agreement, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and Super Evil.

D. Force Majeure. Super Evil shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of Super Evil, including, without limitation, any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond Super Evil’s control such as acts of god, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

E. Location. The Site and the Game are operated by Super Evil in the United States. Those who choose to access the Site and/or the Game from locations outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. The Software is subject to United States export controls.

F. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Super Evil as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site or the Game.

G. No Waiver. Super Evil’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by Super Evil of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

H. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to: Super Evil Mega Corp at 400 1st Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401.

I. Reform and Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, it is determined that such provision cannot be reformed, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

J. Section Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or have any other legal effect.

K. Survival. The provisions of Sections IV, VI.A, IX, XI-XV, and XVII shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT SELECTING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON BELOW AND/OR YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE PROPERTIES IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
