ABE suggested that the match between GamerLegion and the team PRIVATE for qualification to LAN 1win Private Club Season 2 may have been rigged. He wrote that the core of PRIVATE was made up of EX-Ruby players, who had previously been accused of using radar hacks. According to ABE, PRIVATE won the first map 13:10, and on Cache they were leading 12:7 with five match points. The author noted that after a technical pause, the team was supposed to lose 10 rounds in a row, and the map was won by GamerLegion 16:12. On Ancient, as he described, PRIVATE initially dominated, then started losing rounds, and eventually took the match into overtime and won. ABE claimed that someone in the stream chat was sharing a Telegram group, and the picks published by that person were supposedly accurate. He pointed out two possibilities: luck or rigged matches, and announced that he had posted evidence in the comments. The author criticized 1win for sponsoring the tournament and called on Valve to take action against cheating. He also reached out to OverDrive to clean the scene of cheaters, and tagged Ciosa, Snaxa, REZ, Hypex, Tauson, and GamerLegion. #Cheating (translated)

GeoTales described a scenario where several agricultural regions would be simultaneously affected, while dam production would decrease, trade routes would be disrupted, and populations would experience exceptional heat. It specified that the term "super El Niño" referred to an episode of about +2 °C or more in the Niño 3.4 area, without constituting a universal category comparable to that of cyclones. According to GeoTales, the bulletin published on October 8 by the World Meteorological Organization forecasted an average anomaly of about +3.7 °C in this area for the period from October to December, with a peak around December. It also reported that NOAA assessed the probability of reaching at least +2.5 °C over three months at 83% according to its RONI index, mentioning an episode likely to exceed those observed since 1950. It emphasized that the two agencies used different methods, but their figures indicated an exceptionally intense event. GeoTales explained that observations showed increased heat beneath the surface of the Pacific, a deeper thermocline, as well as anomalies in westerly winds and precipitation in the central and eastern parts of the ocean. It reminded that El Niño is a natural phenomenon and estimated that it would be too simplistic to attribute this episode solely to climate change, while adding that background warming could exacerbate its consequences. To illustrate the possible impacts, GeoTales mentioned Guatemala, citing a video published the day before by LIMIT Media. It wrote that in the "dry corridor" that also crosses Honduras and El Salvador, the lack of rain and crop losses were already undermining the food and income of families relying on maize and bean cultivation. #ElNiño #ChangementClimatique #Météo (translated)

React StarAc reported that the theme of the evaluations was to showcase oneself. The students had to explain why they wanted to defend a song and could accompany themselves with an instrument. A list of 20 songs had been imposed on them at the boarding house. They were invited to learn the lyrics by heart, even though they could bring them along, and to reinterpret or recompose the pieces to show their personality. For the prime, the author indicated that a self-portrait was planned. For the "sung and danced" test, registrations were closed and all the students were on the initial list of volunteers; the best grade would allow them to go on tour. The winner of the Top 3 would be immune. #StarAcademy #StarAcademyLeLive #Musique #Chanson #Évaluation (translated)
