Marvel Rivals not only awards the standard MVP at the end of each match, it also declares someone the SVP a mysterious title that the game never fully explains.In this Marvel Rivals guide, well walk you through what the SVP award means and how you can earn it on your team.What is the SVP in Marvel Rivals?SVP stands for Second Valuable Player, and is an award given to the best-performing member of the losing team in Marvel Rivals. It mirrors the MVP award (for Most Valuable Player) that the game automatically grants to the best player on the winning team.To earn the SVP title, youll need to perform your role better than the rest of your teammates performed theirs. Its a bit esoteric, but that could mean something along the lines of the following:If youre playing as a duelist, that means getting the most kills or dealing the most damage.A strategist might get SVP because they healed more damage than anyone else on their team.A vanguard might get SVP for blocking the most damage in a losing match.If you got a clutch team wipe by throwing yourself off the map with the enemy team in your mouth as Jeff the Land Shark, but your team still couldnt lock down the win, youll probably pick up the SVP award on your way out for the incredible play.Earning the SVP award at the end of a match doesnt seem to offer any benefit in either quick play or the competitive ranked mode. Whats more, all members of the losing team will lose ranked points, even if youre the SVP. The only way to lose and not go down in rank is to have a loss prevention shield, which you can only earn from losing multiple matches.However, there are some members of the community that seem to think you gain more ranked points when you win as the MVP, and lose fewer points when you lose as the SVP something weve noticed in our own climb. That said, the exact figures are not easy to verify, as the way the game determines how many ranked points you gain or lose is currently unknown, and the winner of the MVP or SVP could be a factor or could be entirely unrelated.Until players crack how the rank point system works or the developers at NetEase Games reveal the games secrets its best to just think of SVP as a purely honorary title.Correction (Jan. 6, 2025): A previous version of this guide stated that the winner of the SVP award didnt lose any ranked points in competitive games. The guide has been updated to reflect that you indeed lose ranked points in youre the SVP.For moreMarvel Rivalsguides, heres a list of all knowncodes, allTeam-Up abilities, allmaps and modes, and a look at the gamesroadmap.

At its CES 2025 press conference, Samsung just announced that the Ballie home robot it showed off last year will actually be available for sale in the first half of year. This cute yellow rolling device has a built-in projector that allows it to beam images and videos on your walls and floors, so you can interact with it. No further information on pricing and a more specific window of time has been shared, though.When it was first announced, Samsung told The Washington Post that Ballie would actually be available at some point in 2024. Alas, here we are six days into 2025 with no actual date or price yet. We first started seeing early iterations of Ballie in 2020, when the thing was just a tennis ball-sized orb that a Samsung executive tenderly caressed in their hands. Back then, Ballie was touted as a potential "fitness assistant," and Samsung further showed off capabilities like smart home control last year.We also saw last year that you'd be able to talk to Ballie by speaking to or texting it. It also became bowling ball-sized, and the Post said it would have a LiDAR sensor, which should help it detect and avoid obstacles. An onboard infrared sensor is what will help it connect to older home appliances to turn them on or off.Ballie only got the briefest of mentions at Samsung's CES 2025 press conference, which ran for about 45 minutes, and details beyond what I've already described are extremely sparse. For now, we can only guess at a cost. But I wouldn't be surprised if it cost about the same as a Bespoke Samsung fridge.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/home/the-cute-samsung-ballie-home-robot-will-actually-go-on-sale-this-year-223528677.html?src=rss

AMD is following up its impressive Ryzen Z1 chip, which powered the original ASUS ROG Ally, with the Ryzen Z2 at CES 2025. You can pretty much guess what it delivers: More power, and potentially more battery life, but if you plan to wait for Valve to release a Z2-powered Steam Deck, don't get your hopes up. Following AMD's announcement, a Valve employee said "there is and will be no Z2 Steam Deck."Leading the charge for the Ryzen Z2 family is the Z2 Extreme, featuring eight cores, a 5GHz max clock speed and 16 RDNA 3 graphics cores. The least powerful model is the Z2 Go with four CPU cores and 12 graphics cores. That could be a useful chip for cheaper handhelds, especially those that tout game streaming capabilities over local play.AMDAMD didn't have any performance metrics to share, but it likely won't be long until we see the Ryzen Z2 in action. It'll arrive in the first quarter of 2025 in revamped versions of the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. While Valve has said it's trying to avoid a horsepower rat race, constant leaks around a potential Steam Deck 2 indicate some sort of upgrade is on the way soon.Update 4:00PM ET: Valve has clarified it's not working on a Z2-powered Steam Deck.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-amd-ryzen-z2-will-power-next-gen-gaming-handhelds-including-a-new-steam-deck-194531373.html?src=rss
