Topplerite
Making their return this week is the gang behind Topplerite. After a hiatus they are now back creating new videos, with a different approach but with the same trademark quality editing. This is a tribute to the player known as Exblack, one of the first highly skilled Pearl players in Battlerite:

EpicRite
A relatively new channel, EpicRite, posts two types of videos regularly, what they call "Win Compilations" and "Fail Compilations". The former showcases cool and impressive plays, while the latter feature funny clips with mistakes or just amusing situations. This is the latest video:

They seem eager for feedback so make sure to comment your thoughts about their videos!
Fanart
This time we have a WIP made by Sharke. He shows off Ashka & Jumong in a slightly different style than usual, and it will be interesting to see the finished piece!
