If you didn't catch the Streamisho yesterday, you might have missed the news that Awesomenauts 4.2: Fired Up! will launch on July 12th! Rejoice! The new update will contain Smiles, the flamethrower-wielding Renegade, an awesome Pyromancer Smiles skin, and some sweet new portraits! If you want to catch all the details, you can rewatch the full Streamisho on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82GSJHJUXqI

PYROMANCER SMILES

Some crocodiles just want to watch the world burn. Pyromancer Smiles won't settle for that. He won't stop until all of creation is set ablaze! He's dark, he's angry, and he's armed with a flamethrower. Don't cross Pyromancer Smiles as he'll burn you to a crisp! The Pyromancer Smiles skin will come with unique voicelines and gives an ever darker twist to the angriest Renegade of the bunch! The skin will be available when Awesomenauts 4.2: Fired Up! launches next week!

NEW MEDALS

With so many community events recently, we're adding in-game medals for accomplishments in these events in Update 4.2! How you earn them is up to the tournament hosts (with some limitations), so keep your eyes peeled for new community events in the coming weeks to learn more about how to earn these! Are you hosting an event and want to give these away to particants? Get in touch with us through robin@ronimo-games.com!

NEW PROFILE PORTRAITS

We're also adding a couple of sweet new portraits to the game with this update. We'll be revealing them in the week ahead, but you can already get a sneak peak at a new Giga Sentorii portrait above!

ROOKIE ROYALE

The Rookie Royale came to a close last weekend, and it's been a great event overall. Thanks to all players who participated, were involved in coaching new players, made the event happen, and helped out with the on the shows! You guys are the best! The Rookie Royale was an accessible tournament for players with little to no experience in the competitive community, where experienced players could coach them. We've seen a lot of new players compete, as well as many familiar faces from the community, and it's a blast overall! Specifically, thanks to Alexeus, Slevens, Erabosu, Devmon, Uberransy, Body_Hunter, Skner, Pixelhat, Pasha, all the coaches, and everyone else who helped out behind the scenes! Stay tuned for more events from the Awesomenauts League Project in the coming weeks.

KING OF THE FROGS

Bets hosted a drop-in/drop-out King of the Frogs event right after the Streamisho, as a follow-up to the previous round of KotF two weeks back. Rather than go head-to-head as Froggy G, players faced off as Dizzy this week.

ART CONTEST BY REXIC

Community member Rexic hosted an art contest on the forums this week, challenging community artists to make summer-themed artwork based on Awesomenauts, with cash money as the prize!
