KingPins Dominate FIREDUP 2-0 to Win Rush B CSGO Tournament

Day 5 of the Rush B CSGO tournament presented by AA Gaming, saw FIREDUP Gaming play KingPins for a place in the next round of the tournament. KingPins coming with steller form from their previous showings while FIREDUP Gaming comes after knocking out RDX.

Map 1 Inferno

FIREDUP got off to a strong start with a pistol round victory that saw them pick up 3 rounds off the back of it. The first buy round went the way of KingPins which they used to put together a string of five rounds and eventually go 5-3 up before FIREDUP could get back on the board. Eventually, after back and forth saw the first half close in favor of KingPins with a single-round lead.

KingPins looked much better on their T side and did not let FIREDUP settle down at any point and in the end, they were able to reach 16 where FIREDUP only managed 4 more rounds. The match concluded with a 16-11 scoreline as we head to Ancient.

Map 2 Ancient

Although FIREDUP showed a solid game against RDX in Ancient however this has been KingPin’s go-to map whenever they needed a win. Starting on the T side, KingPins played a very aggressive brand of CS that did not allow FIREDUP any room to put together consecutive rounds. The first half ended with a massive 5 round lead for KingPins.

On their defense, FIREDUP weren’t allowed any more than 3 rounds as KingPins continued their stellar form in Ancient. The map closed 16-8 with a great display of teamwork and strategy from KingPins that will see them go further in the tournament.

Map 1: Inferno (Pick: Reckoning Esports, Winner: Kingpins, Final Score: 16:14)

Kingpins started Inferno on the T-side with a pistol round win and converted the anti-eco round without any hassle. Reckoning Esports grabbed their first buy round and proceeded to win the next two rounds before Kingpins equalized the score 3-3. The teams traded rounds back and forth before Reckoning Esports took the lead and closed the half 9-6.

A jaw-dropping clutch from Kingpins ‘Benzene’ marked the start of the second half of Inferno, giving his team a shot at coming back into the game. After winning the following round as well, they were quickly shut down by their opposition as Reckoning went into a frenzy and extended their lead by 13-8. A much-needed B-site retake from ‘DiceDealer’ and ‘Benzene’ brought Kingpins back into the game, who then proceeded to equalize the score, eventually closing the game with no room to spare as the scoreline read 16-14.

They eventually gained a massive 11-round lead over Reckoning Esports with a score of 12-1 before dropping the last two rounds and finishing the half 12-3.

FIREDUP Gaming Comes Out Victorious Against RDX in Rush B CSGO Tournament

Day 5 of the Rush B CSGO tournament presented by AA Gaming, saw RDX take on FIREDUP-Gaming take on each other in a best-of-three double-elimination matchup. Both teams come into the game fighting for their continued involvement making it a match of high stakes.

Map 1: Ancient

FIREDUP got off to a good start on the defense going 8-2 up before RDX were able to find any footing. Soon after the 10th round, RDX put together a string of 6 rounds and FIREDUP led only by a round before switching sides. RDX historically struggled on this map but their T side looked better than their previous showing.

On their offense, FIREDUP were able to brush off the lost rounds from their defense and got off to a stellar start. Despite being on a map perceived to be heavily CT-sided, they made it look easy and steamrolled onto the 15th round before RDX were able to show anything remotely convincing. RDX picked up three more rounds before FIREDUP put a stop to any attempts of a comeback and found themselves one map away from going onto the next round of the event.

Map 2: Overpass

RDX on the defense started the game with a pistol round win and but FIREDUP’s force buy delivered in aces and spades in the following round forcing RDX to go for a force buy. Both teams traded round for a while before FIREDUP were able to put together 10 rounds in a row to go 12-3 up. Disaster would be an understatement when describing RDX’s defense and with this, RDX already has a foot in the next round of the tournament.

Although RDX was able to grab the pistol on their offense and covert the following round but all this look futile on the face of the lead that FIREDUP got on their offense. RDX managed to go up to 9 rounds before FIREDUP closed the map and make it to the next round of the tournament.

Valorant Premier Open Beta: Format, Schedule & More

Valorant’s new competitive mode was unveiled in 2022 by Riot Games. Known as the Premier mode, it will let you design your own lineup while competing in a wide variety of matches. 

Riot Games spoke to the challenge-seeking player base and explained that it planned to integrate the game more deeply into its esports infrastructure by introducing a highly competitive mode that would provide players access to Valorant’s competitive environment.

Players in Brazil were able to try out the finished Alpha version of Premier in October and November of last year. Having said that, this month will see the launch of the Premier Global Open Beta.

The Alpha testing of the same was successfully carried out by the player base in Brazil around October and November of last year. Having said that, the Premier Global Open Beta is set to launch this month itself as confirmed by Riot Games.

Players will advance to the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Challenger Leagues through the newly launched Premier mode in the near future. If you are able to climb up the ladder through Premier, you’ll receive a crack at Challengers, where you can compete against actual professional teams. 

The Premier system is a cornerstone of Riot’s ambitions for Valorant’s alternative route to the professional ranks. When implemented globally, this competitive structure will give every player the chance to pursue a career in esports.

When will the Valorant Premier Global Open Beta launch?

The Valorant Premier Global Open Beta is expected to launch on April 29, 2023. To participate in the open beta, players must qualify for a set of requirements which are as follows: 

  • The player must have an SMS-verified account.
  • The user must have completed his/her placement matches in the act. 
  • A team should at least have 5 five players and 7 at the most. The user may create his/her own or join an existing one. 

Beta testing enrollment has begun and will close on April 28. Owners of Valorant teams will have the ability to register their own teams and select the game mode they want to compete in.

The plan calls for each participant to compete in two games per week. The results of each week’s games will be factored into each team’s Premier Score, which will ultimately determine which teams advance to the Playoff Tournament.

Players can find out what time zone they are in and how that affects the game’s queue by clicking on the Premier tab. Riot has established requirements for participation in order to limit the possibility of slot abuse.

Once the squad is created, the team leader can enroll and select the region they would wish to play in. The selected region will play a crucial part in the Premier’s journey as it will determine the server the roster will play upon.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Episode 3 likely to introduce One Piece Bundle

Fortnite Chapter 4 Episode 3 likely to introduce One Piece Bundle

The Fortnite community is going berserk over a fresh teaser that has made its way from Donald Mustard, the Creative Officer of Epic Games. Mustard is quite known for giving out hints about forthcoming in-game collaborations and forthcoming events. 

What the community has speculated is that the most famous anime, One Piece, might finally be introduced in Fortnite. 

Donald Mustard just updated his online Twitter location to “The Blue Ocean”. He also included a clip of himself filming the ocean as it slams onto the rocks on the shore. This indeed hinted towards the notorious One Piece Bundle content set to be dropped inside Fortnite. The Blue Ocean comes from the “All Blue” Saga which the anime currently thrives on, which Sanji has always dreamt of. 

Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of the manga series, wants nothing more than to become the pirate king and the community is here to don him in Fortnite as one of their playable bundles.  In the anime series, together, he and his crew set out to find the legendary One Piece treasure laid down by the most notorious pirate Gold D Roger before he was executed. 

The plot of the manga majorly revolves around the sea and Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates.

Fortnite’s anime crossovers have blossomed throughout the past year as players have seen their favorite characters join the action. Collabs are always exciting for fans of the franchises involved, whether it’s a long-running Dragon Ball Z collab in Chapter 3 or the current My Hero Academia’s Deku Smash Mythic still going strong in Chapter 4.

Players are speculating about a huge anime franchise cooperation after Epic’s Chief Creative Officer and Fortnite loremaster Donald Mustard’s latest post. 

A plethora of players might want to play as Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro, who wields his Wado Ichimonji sword, in the game. The game would need a location where the iconic ship the Straw Hat Pirates travel in could be put, giving players a possible loot landmark, for the collaboration to take place.


In addition to the timing of the teaser, which follows the release of the Role-playing game One Piece Odyssey, this theory has gained traction. Bandai Namco has created a new role-playing game in which players assume the roles of Luffy and the other members of his gang of pirates in an original plot.

Fact Sheet

“One Piece” is a popular Japanese anime and manga series that follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young boy whose body gains the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit. 

Luffy sets out on a quest to become the King of the Pirates, and with his crew of pirates known as the Straw Hat Pirates, he travels through the Grand Line, encountering and battling against other pirates, marine forces, and other adversaries, while seeking the legendary treasure known as “One Piece”. 

Along the way, Luffy and his crew form strong bonds and face various challenges, both personal and external, as they pursue their dreams and navigate the dangerous waters of the world of Grand Line and further.

Below is the list of all 19 skins you can choose from:

In preparation for the forthcoming French Major powered by Blast.tv, the Anubis map necessitates its own weapon collection so that fans can exchange their Event Coins for the skin collection if they so choose.

It is possible that players may have spent millions on a new package within 24 hours of its release according to popular skin collector and data miner, TDM_Heyzeus. According to him, the float.db database indicates that at least 5.5 Million Anubis cases were opened which points towards $11 Million dollars.

TDM_Heyzeus utilized the mathematical probability of opening a Covert skin, which stands at 1/3906, in their computations. The Anubis Collection Package contains one such skin of exceptional rarity, the M4A4 | Eye of Horus. Next, they obtained data on the existing number of M4A4 | Eye of Horus skins within the game from the reputable CSGO skin database, float.db.

Using this number, the player multiplied it by the likelihood of obtaining one Eye of Horus skin. As a result, they estimated that around 1.9 million cases were opened within the first 24 hours.

All you need to know about the new skins in Counter-Strike 2

All you need to know about the new skins in Counter-Strike 2

Counter-Strike 2 has finally been revealed by Valve after several years of speculation around the same.

Valve’s highly anticipated “Counter-Strike 2” is set to make its debut with a limited test having started a month ago. The game promises a complete overhaul to every system and every piece of content, bringing with it the largest technical leap forward in the history of the franchise.

Counter-Strike 2 would be released this summer alongside a promise of an “overhaul to every system, every piece of content, and every part of the experience.”

With it being said above, players will have access to beta-test the new iteration of Counter-Strike. Valve also released a FAQ guide for the CS2 closed beta which says the latter would be awarded to players who have a good conduct score across their matches. 

We’re here because data miners unearthed a dozen fresh skins deep within the CS2 game’s code. Skins range from the most basic (camo) to the extremely complex (Case Hardened, Gamma Doppler), all of which appear as if they belong in a Collections gallery.

However, as is customary with data mining, you shouldn’t place too much stock in the information that has been leaked, as plans may and do change and there’s no assurance any of this will be made public. After the success of Counter-Strike 2, it appears like Valve will speed up the delivery of further content.

A plethora of skins and other cosmetic content have been data mined by Twitter users @Rick_wtf and @gabefollower. We would also like to extend our gratitude to @gemsrigregory for the screenshots

As previously established, Counter-Strike 2 is now in closed beta, with participation restricted to a small group of gamers as determined by Valve. 

Below is the list of some top-tier skins which are to be introduced in Counter-Strike 2

AWP | Whiteout 

Following in the shoes of P250 Whiteout, the AWP Whiteout will be an all new addition to the AWP family with a complete white chromatic pattern. 

The Gamma Dopplers family

The Gamma Dopplers are set to make their return in CS 2, this time in the face of the M4A1-S weaponry which features 4 different finishes including Phase 1,2,3 and 4 followed by an Emerald pattern.

M4A1-S Gamma Doppler Phase 1

M4A1-S Gamma Doppler Phase 2

M4A1-S Gamma Doppler Phase 3

M4A1-S Gamma Doppler Phase 4

M4A1-S Gamma Doppler | Emerald

AWP Varicamo Red

The Laminates

In addition to the Black Laminates from CS:GO, Purple, Violet and White Laminate finishes are set to be revealed in CS 2. Laminates go well with some stickers, most notably with Crown Foils and other holos. 

M4A1-S Vertigo!

The new M4A1-S Vertigo can be spotted from the data mined sheet and we can confirm that Valve are on the course of bringing out the new Vertigo collection as per the former. 

This is all for now as we assure you all to be back with regular updates on the forthcoming Counter Strike 2.
