$75K in Rewards Announced for Valhalla's First-Ever Tournament
Floki's flagship metaverse game, Valhalla, is kicking off its first major tournament — and there's $75,000 worth of prizes on the line for the top 64 contenders.
Designed as a competitive battleground for players worldwide, Valhalla blends strategy, skill, and blockchain-powered gameplay in a Norse-inspired metaverse. Players control powerful creatures called Veras and battle in fast-paced, 3v3 turn-based combat — and now, the stakes are higher than ever.
The tournament format consists of three concurrent single-elimination bracket tournaments will run simultaneously every two months. Each tournament starts with a qualification phase, where players compete in up to three matches. A win earns one point — and the top 64 scorers from each tournament move on to the Main Event. If players are tied, ELO rankings determine who advances.
The Main Event is a six-round, 64-player single-elimination bracket, where only one winner will rise to the top. Choose your tournament wisely — you can only enter one per cycle. Each match is 3v3 only, and special rules apply, including shorter turn times and no draws.
Prize Pool Highlights
The tournament boasts a massive prize pool totaling over $75,000, all paid out in $FLOKI. The champion will walk away with $25,000, while the runner-up earns $10,000. Semi-finalists (3rd and 4th place) will each receive $5,000. Those who place 5th through 8th will get $2,000 apiece, followed by $1,000 prizes for 9th to 16th place. Players ranking from 17th to 32nd will earn $500 each, and even those finishing between 33rd and 64th won't go home empty-handed — they'll receive $200 each for making it into the bracket.
The Valhalla tournament is a global competition designed to spotlight the best players in the ecosystem. Whether you're a seasoned Vera strategist or a rising star in the metaverse, this is your chance to etch your name into Valhalla history.
An official date announcement and access to the signup portal are expected to be released shortly.

Lennon's, a new restaurant with a ‘come and stay' philosophy, opens this weekend
A new restaurant concept is set to open its doors in downtown Naperville this weekend. Lennon's at 16 W. Jefferson Ave. offers a mix of dining and entertainment in the three-story space previously occupied by Latin-inspired AltaVida, owner Jeremy Stolberg said. The concept they're going for is 'come and stay,' he said. 'I know for myself, a lot of times we'll go out to dinner with a couple of other couples or friends or groups of friends, and it's sort of like, 'OK, we had a great dinner. Now what?'' Stolberg said. 'And this, to me, was an opportunity to capture the whole night. So come in, have dinner, stay for some cocktails, have a leisurely dessert, watch some entertainment, and really be able to go somewhere and have an entire night rather than just simply having dinner.' Similar to AltaVida, Lennon's will use multiple floors to bring different experiences to its guests. The first floor will be for patrons ordering small plates meant to be shared. One floor up, Lennon's Lounge will features upscale bar food and live entertainment. The third floor, which will open two or three months from now, will be have a steakhouse concept. There is no singular cuisine the small plates at Lennon's draw inspiration from, Stolberg said. Options include everything from Gulf shrimp ceviche ($18) and char-grilled Spanish octopus ($19) to spiced lamb meatballs ($14) and NOLA buttermilk fried chicken ($32). The dishes reflect the cooking style of Lennon's chef Luis Alvarez, Stolberg said. 'His specialty is just being creative, figuring out how we can take unique ingredients and maybe put them to a non-unique or not as unique dish, and add some unique ingredients and come up with something that's creative and delicious all at the same time,' he said. The second floor features a performance stage. A band is scheduled to play on opening night, but future entertainment could include magic acts, comedy shows and even bingo with music provided by a DJ. While he has worked in the hospitality industry previously, Stolberg said Lennon's is his biggest endeavor to date — and he's really excited to open a restaurant in Naperville. 'I grew up on the north shore in Highland Park. I live in Deerfield, and I was not familiar with Naperville,' he said. 'I fell in love with the downtown area, the people, the businesses, the vibe. It's got a great restaurant scene. … So very quickly, I just fell in love with Naperville. I thought, 'What a great place to put down some roots for the business.'' Already, he said, he feels the warmth of the Naperville community. As he's prepared for the restaurant's opening over the last month, Stolberg estimates as many as 100 people have stopped by to check out what they're doing. 'The community has been amazing. Just people stopping in and chatting and wishing us luck and saying they want to come in,' he said. 'I'm excited to be part of the community here.' In the future, Stolberg also hopes Lennon's can give back to the community through fundraising campaigns and hosting events in support of local nonprofits, schools and neighborhood initiatives. 'If people are fortunate enough to be able to come and dine out, I'd like to be able to think that we can give back,' he said. The first floor of Lennon's is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 4 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday. Second floor hours are 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. More hours will be added in the coming weeks for brunch and lunch services.

Sofia Carson Embraces Classic Glamour in Richard Quinn Dress at ‘My Oxford Year' Premiere
Sofia Carson embraced classic glamour in a Richard Quinn black and white gown for the red carpet premiere of her Netflix film 'My Oxford Year' in Los Angeles on Thursday. Carson's dress was wholly evocative of style elements and trends reminiscent of the 1950s. The dress, from Richard Quinn's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, featured a strapless silhouette with a square neckline and two distinct hemlines. More from WWD Supermodel Iman's Best Beauty Moments on the Runway From 1981 to 1989 'Freaky Friday' Beauty Moments That Defined Y2K: From Calico Hair to Chipped Nails Jessica Simpson Brings Grunge Y2K-inspired Glam Back The external layer of the gown featured a black satin material, which flowed to the floor. Beneath the black layer was a white midi dress with allover embroidered floral elements throughout. The dress featured a cinched waist for added silhouette definition. Carson also added a pair of black opera gloves to her look. Carson's hair was coiffed in a blunt bob with a side part. Several celebrities have adopted the bob hairstyle over the past few months, including Leslie Bibb, Halle Berry and Jenny Slate, among others. Her makeup included bold brows, lined eyes and a dark lip. Carson's 'My Oxford Year' premiere dress made its debut as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024. As a designer, Quinn operates with a direct line to his clients, often curating special orders and bridal. The eponymous designer's spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection was curated 'with the most meaningful moments of our lives in mind,' per Miles Socha's WWD review of the collection. 'The collection did not veer far from recent ones, riffing on familiar eveningwear archetypes — regal columns, debutante fit-and-flare ballgowns, fishtail numbers and minidresses — all frosted with dense floral embroideries, neat little satin bows and dramatic frills at the necks and wrist,' Socha wrote of the collection. Elements of old Hollywood glamour made a comeback on the red carpet. More recently, Pamela Anderson channeled timeless elegance with her custom Rodarte gown for 'The Naked Gun' premiere in London on Tuesday. In December 2024, WWD reported formalwear designers took inspiration from Old Hollywood for their respective pre-fall 2025 collections, including Markarian, Georgina Chapman and Lela Rose, among others. 'My Oxford Year' follows American Rhodes Scholar Anna, played by Carson, who falls for an ailing teach assistant, played by Corey Mylchreest, during her year at Oxford University.

‘Vera, or Faith' Review: This Girl Is More Than a Pawn
Readers of Gary Shteyngart's novels have come to expect certain themes and plot turns. Guaranteed to figure are the lives of Russian émigrés in America and the culture clash that arises from such hybrid identities. Expect, too, a second immigrant community (perhaps Korean or Indian) to add another angle. Also likely to be found: elements of near-futurism, or alternative versions of our present world, complete with a nuanced though often jaded view of technological development, as in 'Super Sad True Love Story' (2010). A backdrop of creeping authoritarianism that began, in Mr. Shteyngart's oeuvre, as satire has more recently felt like social realism, from 'Absurdistan' (2006) to 'Lake Success' (2018). And we frequently get obnoxious or grotesque figures, sardonically drawn to resemble Mr. Shteyngart himself. Difficult parents. Funny Jewish names. Neurodiversity. Mr. Shteyngart is not, however, the kind of novelist who recycles and repeats himself (see Patrick Modiano or John Irving). He might like to use the same ingredients, but the dishes he serves are varied and surprising. Just as there are many things you can do with eggs, there are many things you can do with American disillusionment. In Mr. Shteyngart's slight, compelling new novel, 'Vera, or Faith,' the flawed writer figure of Russian background is Igor Shmulkin. He is a difficult father to the neurodiverse Vera, in a near-future United States where a constitutional amendment is being considered. The amendment is popularly known as 'Five-Three,' and would increase the political power of those white citizens whose roots go back to the founding, their votes being counted as 'five-thirds of a regular vote.' Vera and her family live in a still-progressive-ish place that seems to be New York while, elsewhere in the country, 'Cycle Through' states monitor women for signs of pregnancy (and abortion). There are tests at interstate borders.
