Paper Rex's Valorant World Cup hopes end in semi-final defeat
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian star Ahmad Khalish Rusyaidee "d4v41" Nordin saw his hopes of reaching a second straight international final with Paper Rex (PRX) dashed after a 2-1 defeat to Fnatic in the Valorant semi-finals at the eSports World Cup in Riyadh on Saturday. The highly anticipated clash at the Esports Arena, Boulevard Riyadh City, featured two unbeaten teams reigniting their fierce rivalry following PRX's triumph over Fnatic in last month's Masters Grand Final in Toronto — a historic first international title for the team. This time, however, it was Fnatic's turn to take revenge. PRX started strong, claiming their map pick Sunset 13-10. But Fnatic bounced back in emphatic fashion on Ascent, crushing PRX 13-3 to level the series. With momentum firmly on their side, Fnatic raced to a 9-3 halftime lead in the decider, Split. Though PRX rallied late to close the gap to 10-8, Fnatic held their nerve to finish the match 13-8 and seal their place in the final. Despite the loss, Khalish and his teammates still have a chance to finish on the podium. PRX will take on either Gen.G (South Korea) or Team Heretics (Spain) in the third-place playoff on Sunday.

This Vitamix blender is so good my mom 'borrowed' mine — and it's $200 off right now for Prime Day
My love of Vitamix is well-documented. As soon as I got my hands on the brand's iconic Ascent series, it rocketed straight to the top of our best blender buying guide, and I've never looked back. But perhaps I'm becoming a little too influential, because as soon as I finished testing my beloved Vitamix, my mom swooped in and stole it. Ok, "borrowed", but it's turning into a long-term loan. Luckily for me, and my mom, the Ascent Series X3 is down by 31% to $449 in the Prime Day sale, and I think it's time she took the plunge and got one for herself. This really is a brilliant deal, and as my mom will attest, once you've tested a Vitamix blender you won't want to use any other. So I highly recommend you take advantage of this last-minute Prime Day deal and add it to your own Amazon basket. This is probably the best blender deal I've seen while trawling the internet for all the top discounts for Prime Day. While $449 is still a hefty price, it's the only blender you'll ever need to buy. Simply put, there's nothing this blender can't do. I've used it to make restaurant-quality dips and soups, and every smoothie I make in the Ascent blender comes out pulp-free and creamy. Because it's so powerful, you can actually add raw ingredients to this blender and put it into Soup mode, where it will blend for 12 minutes until you're left with a fully-cooked, piping hot soup. I did this with Vitamix's tomato soup recipe, and was stunned at how tasty it was. No raw onion sting or lukewarm finish, this was fully-cooked soup! Prime Day ends tonight, so I highly recommend you pick up this deal (and any others you have lingering in your basket) while there's still time. For more great savings on everything from robot vacuums to laptops, take a look at our Prime Day deals live blog.

The Vitamix Ascent blender is the easiest 5-star review I've ever given, and it's $200 off for Prime Day
As a Home Editor, I've been testing blenders professionally for 5 years, and while the huge price tag would put me off buying the Vitamix Ascent X3 at full price, it is without question the best blender I've ever used. My partner and I were genuinely bummed when we had to send it back after I tested it, so much so that we're considering putting it on our wedding registry. This huge 31% discount for Amazon Prime Day is tempting me, though. Vitamix revamped its Ascent series in 2024, and deals on its latest models have been few and far between ever since the relaunch. Backed with a 10-year warranty, I'm confident that this is the only blender you'll ever need to buy. This is probably the best blender deal I've seen while trawling the internet for all the top discounts ahead of Prime Day. While $449 is still a hefty price, it's the only blender you'll ever need to buy. While spending $449 on a blender is no small investment, this truly is the Ferrari of blenders. If you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in a new blender, this 31% discount comes seriously recommended. I don't give five-star reviews often, and this is by far the top blender I've ever tried. You can read our full review to learn more. Like the Ascent Series, the Propel blender has pre-set Programs: Smoothie, Hot Soup, and Frozen Dessert. It's also got a generous 48-oz blending cup, but lacks the smart display of the Ascent. The 5200 is an oldie but a goodie. It comes with variable speed control to hit a range of textures, from chopping to emulsifying, and you can easily switch it up with the control dial. It also has an immense 64-oz pitcher, meaning you can blend for a crowd. If you're in the market for a new immersion blender, the Vitamix Immersion Blender is a fantastic choice. It's got a 5-foot long cord and 5 speed settings, making it most versatile than many of the other immersion blenders on the market.
