Deadlock Surpasses TF2's All-Time Peak as Chess Hero Solomon Arrives
Valve's hero shooter MOBA Deadlock has hit a landmark milestone, surpassing Team Fortress 2's all-time concurrent player count peak on Steam, and the timing could not be more fitting. The record was broken alongside the introduction of Solomon, a chess-wielding new hero who commands the battlefield by turning his own teammates into pawns. The unorthodox design makes Solomon arguably Deadlock's riskiest hero yet, but the gamble appears to be paying off in a big way, drawing massive new interest to the game's ongoing closed beta.
