Team Solo Mid has been working busy this season and made it to Leauge of Legends Worlds Championship. In this week’s episode of GameCribs, we watch TSM as they try to play their way of group A. Watch Now. Have you been watching any of the Worlds matches? Who do you think will take it all? Comment below.

One of the most exciting news to come out this week has been all of the Valve announcements. Earlier this week, the first real was SteamOS . SteamOS is based on Linux, is designed for the TV and the living room, and will be free. Today, Valve made another huge announcement: Steam Machines. They are described as a "powerful new category of living room hardware." Valve is taking their company in a great direction and I can’t wait to see where all of this goes. Oh and before I forget they even teased this picture of a controller!
