News::League of Legends' first pro female player weighs her options

"I just want it to be known that I accomplished my goal for real, and I accomplished it for me, my teammates, and girls in eSports. That's it. No one else. Don't fucking put me on some LGBT agenda or some bullshit."

That's part of the statement that Maria Creveling, known as "Remilia" on the gaming stage, posted to Reddit this morning, following her team's explosive victory in the North American League of Legends Challenger Series last night. The win bumped her team, Renegades, into the League of Legends Championship Series, meaning all of its players are now officially pro -- and making Remilia the first professional female player in League of Legends history. However, she may choose to leave the LCS without ever playing a pro game.

News::JXE Streams: The watery mystery of 'Submerged'

This is what we like to call a "chill stream." That doesn't mean it's cold or that it involves a small river, though this particular game does feature quite a lot of water. It simply means that we're going to take this livestream slowly, calmly and with an emphasis on chilling out. Submerged is a new, combat-free exploration game set in a flooded, abandoned city. It stars Miku, a young girl searching for supplies to help her dying younger brother. Developer Uppercut Games encourages players to explore the city at their own pace to "discover hidden objects that piece together the story of a broken world and a broken family." Chill streams may be quieter than usual, but they can still be emotional.

Today's Submerged livestream kicks off at 5:30PM ET/2:30PM PT on Twitch.tv/Joystiq, on the Engadget Gaming homepage or right in this post. We're playing on the PlayStation 4 via an Elgato HD60 capture device. Join us.

News::ICYMI: Robot barkeeps, Android Experiments and more

Today on In Case You Missed It: We take on two pieces of robot news, both of which seem promising for different reasons. First, a robot with responsive, human reflexes is being designed to enter dangerous situations where a real person might be injured. The secret is that the controller is a guy wearing a matching robot exoskeleton. Then, more MIT scientists executed an algorithm that allows robots to actually buzz around and serve alcohol. Obviously, we're fans of that. Lastly, Google unveiled a video describing its Android Experiments project and some of the applications are super interesting.
