In recent years, datamining has become established as one of the best methods for fans to get as much information as possible on upcoming content.

Known as Battlemode, this Doom Eternal PvP element dumps the previous arena style shooting in favor of a much smaller affair. Battlemode is now 2v1 multiplayer with two players serving as demons trying to kill the lone Doom Slayer in a best of 5 match. To help even the odds slightly, the lone player gets a full arsenal and can use glory kills to gain back health. The demon duo, however, can pick from a bunch of Hell’s minions like the Revenant and Mancubus....

That may be about to change in DOOM Eternal – the next big game release for 2020 – which in its first three hours features more honest-to-Satan storyline that the 2016 DOOM manages in its entirety. The game kicks off in typically understated fashion: demons have overrun the Earth and billions are dead. The DOOM Slayer watches on from his new satellite castle (dubbed the ‘Fortress of Doom’ in one of the first reminders that the last game’s sly sense of humour is back in force) before bopping down to kill a Hell Priest (as you do) and claim their head....

It assists nerve cells in communicating with each other. Dopamine is produced by a group of nerve cells in the brain’s middle region and sends messages to other parts of the brain. What is the function of dopamine? Dopamine is responsible for feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and motivation. When you feel good about something you’ve accomplished, it’s because the brain has a huge amount of it.

The most recent transfer window saw Paris Saint-Germain smash the world record by paying €222million to bring Neymar to Ligue 1 from Barcelona. The Catalans replaced the Brazil star with Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele, who became the second most expensive player in history after completing a move for an initial €105million. Spending has escalated since Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Real Madrid for a then-record €94m in 2009, with eight of the nine most expensive transfers in history taking place in the last four years....

With just under a third of the season left, recent poor results have slashed Dortmund’s lead from nine to just three points before Friday’s trip south to Augsburg, where Bayern came perilously close to a shock defeat a fortnight ago. The defending champions leaked two goals from crosses, including a weak own-goal by Leon Goretzka 13 seconds into the Bavarian derby, and needed two Kingsley Coman goals to draw level before David Alaba scored the winner in a 3-2 victory....

Sancho has been heavily tipped to join Premier League giants United, while the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid have also emerged as possible destinations.

Asked about Sancho and a potential departure, Zorc told Kicker: “If Jadon left, we would do something again in the offensive area. “There are certainly one or two players we are targeting....

With defending champions Bayern hosting Stuttgart on Sunday, Dortmund grabbed the chance to thump second-from-bottom Hanover with Reus causing havoc on his return from an ankle injury. “We took our time to find the gaps, but after we changed ends and went 2-0 up it was much easier,” said Dortmund coach Lucien Favre after his side floored Hanover with three goals in seven minutes. Achraf Hakimi, on loan from Real Madrid, Reus, Mario Goetze and Raphael Guerreiro scored Dortmund’s goals to keep them on course for their first Bundesliga title since 2012....
