GuardiaN’s Iconic CSGO AWP Asiimov to Be Auctioned for Thousands of Dollars

GuardiaN, the legendary CS:GO player, has announced that he will be retiring his signature AWP Asiimov after using it for eight years.

GuardiaN has been a professional CS:GO player for over a decade, and during that time he has established himself as one of the best AWPers in the game. His signature AWP has been with him for eight years, and it has seen him through some of his biggest victories and most memorable moments.

Touted as one of the greatest AWPers to ever play the game, he will likely hang up his mouse soon. The AWP skin in question is listed on the popular site Buff.com with a starting bid of $1400. The skin isn’t very fancy on its own, and neither are the stickers applied to it, however, the rich history that comes with it will likely see the value shoot up.

The Field Tested, AWP Asiimov has three GuardiaN stickers from three different majors applied and has a very unimpressive float value of 0.27687934. His fans will surely be excited about the opportunity to own such a rare and valuable item. The auction is expected to attract a lot of attention, and it will be interesting to see how much the AWP ultimately sells.

GuardiaN, despite having not won a major has enjoyed a career most professional players still dream of. His AWP skin saw through some of the best professional matches ever played which should make the highly desirable among potential suitors.

He will always be remembered as one of the greatest AWPers in the game, and his legacy will live on even though it is unlikely he continues his career as CS2 arrives in the coming months.

It is not uncommon for players of popular online games like CS:GO to spend significant amounts of money on new packages or items. The CS:GO community is known for its passion and dedication to the game, and many players enjoy collecting rare skins and other items.

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, float.db database indicates that at least 5.5 Million Anubis cases were opened which points towards $11 Million dollars.

It is not uncommon for players of CS:GO to spend significant amounts of money on new packages or items. The CS:GO community is known for its passion and dedication to the game, and many players enjoy collecting rare skins and other items.

“Using the float.db database and some quick (corrected) maths reveal that the community has already opened up at least 5.5 MILLION Anubis Cases. That’s $11 MILLION dollars of revenue (at least) for Valve. Absolutely mental stuff” read the Tweet.

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 CS:GO 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.

Does Andrew Tate Own CSGO Skins? 

Andrew Tate is one of the most controversial men nowadays. He’s been raided, he’s been accused of everything online, and now it seems like he might be the owner of a stash of CS:GO skins. We’ll see if this rumor is true or just another bit of internet disinformation.

A Match Fixing Scandal?

On top of the accusations against him for different criminal activities (they’re suppositions because they yet have to be proven true by justice), he’s now been accused of fixing different CS:GO matches. Once again, this is just another rumor because there’s no solid evidence that places Andrew Tate and his brother as the leaders or members of a CS:GO match fixing ring.

However, this rumor led to another supposition that Andrew Tate is the owner of hundreds of CSGO skins that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to CSGORadar.com, these assets can be worth more than $10,000 USD each, as it’s the case for the Dragon Lore AWP.

On top of that, it’s also said that Andrew Tate used these skins for gambling at CS:GO casinos. No specific names have been given nor the games he supposedly used to wager the skins, but some choices might have been Crash, case opening, roulette, etc. Since CS:GO skins gambling is growing at such an accelerated pace, it might have grabbed Andrew Tate’s interest to get involved, since there’s money to make and he’s proven to be a serious entrepreneur. 

All in all, it seems like Andrew Tate has been deeply involved in CS:GO skins, even though he’s been widely opposed to video games, something that anyone can check by watching his videos and content.

A Risky Bet?

We still need more evidence to conclude that Andrew Tate has been indeed involved in CSGO skin gambling, especially since he’s been opposed to video games and has even been banned from playing CS:GO.

Consequently, he has very little knowledge about gaming and especially about skins, so it’s raised suspicions about this claim since he’s reportedly been gambling with very valuable skins, and that means risking a lot of money.

Andrew Tate is worth millions of dollars by now, so perhaps he’s been involved in CS:GO skins gambling as a sort of fun or even a hobby (a surprising one given his stance on video games), or maybe he really studied the CS:GO skin gambling scene and he has managed to become a pro at it.

Is CS:GO Skin Gambling Really That Hard?

It’s not really that hard, especially since all you have to do is to make a deposit, select a game, place a bet and let luck decide your fate. Games like Crash and Roulette involve only three steps, so there’s no rocket-science and the learning curve is actually very small.

However, bankroll management is something that one would need to master in order to make it. Given Andrew Tate’s vision and stance on different matters, we could arrive at the conclusion that he has the grit, discipline and mindset that’s needed to set up a working bankroll management strategy.

It’s all about managing your emotions and being rational, and from what we have seen, perhaps Mr. Tate has the necessary skills to ace it at CS:GO gambling games. 

Once again, these games are not hard to play and all you have to do is to stick to a gambling strategy, so that you can know when to quit and when to cash out your profits. And given that the rumors tell us that Andrew Tate’s inventory of CS:GO skins is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, it’s highly probable that he’s really mastered the art of CS:GO gambling.

All of these are suppositions based on some rumors that have been going around during the last few days, so we still need to make further research in order to confirm that Andrew Tate indeed owns CS.GO skins and that he’s involved in CS:GO gambling, but that’s something that we’ll update you all with during the next few weeks.

The first map of the series was played off-stream, and Kingpins managed to win the game with a score of 16:11.

Map 2: Ancient (Pick: Kingpins, Winner: OnlyFriends, Final Score: 16:13)

OnlyFriends kicked Ancient off by winning the pistol round on the CT-side, but a force buy from Kingpins on the following round was enough to equalize the score. The next two rounds were easy grabs for Kingpins before OnlyFriends put up their second round on the board. A series of flawless executes from Kingpins gave them a considerable lead in the first half of Ancient, which they ended with a score of 9-6 in their favor.

The second was a completely different story, OnlyFriends won the pistol round and proceeded to convert the following two rounds with ease to tie the score 9-9. Kingpins regained the lead once again by winning two consecutive rounds but an astonishing ace clutch from ‘Crazy_Gamer’ on the 21st round stopped them in their tracks. Kingpins only managed to win a couple of more rounds before the end of map 2 as OnlyFriends closed the game 16:13.

The first half concluded with a score of 10-5 in favor of Kingpins.

Kingpins were able to win the pistol round on the CT-side as well, but a force buy from OnlyFriends on the next round enabled the latter to take the B bombsite and hold it long enough for the C4 to explode. Kingpins decided to follow suit and force-bought during the following round, which ultimately paid off as they snatched the round from OnlyFriends. Another force buy came from OnlyFriends in the 19th round, which they won once again before capitalizing on their advantage and getting five consecutive rounds to bring their score up to 11-12. ‘ElVIS’ had to win an intense 1v1 against ‘Crazy_Gamer’ on the following round to bring back his team’s momentum in the game. However, it wasn’t enough to stop OnlyFriends, who proceeded to close the game 16-14 in their favor.

‘F1redup’ took the top spot in the game 3 leaderboard with 26 kills and 20 deaths and an ADR of 99.5.

Team IKARI send RDX packing out of AA Gaming’s Rush B tournament

Logan’s IKARI were able to come back despite being 10-15 down in the decider map as they picked up the series 2-1 in the overtime. 

Team IKARI vs RDX Rush B CSGO Tournament Recap

  • RDX Vs IKARI
  • Match Type: Best of 3, Played on LAN

Map Veto

  • RDX ban Vertigo
  • IKARI ban Overpass
  • RDX pick Ancient
  • IKARI pick Anubis
  • RDX ban Inferno
  • IKARI ban Nuke
  • Mirage was left over

Map 1: Ancient (Pick: RDX, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 16:13)

IKARI started off Ancient on the right foot as they settled into Game 1 with a comfortable 5-0 lead over RDX before MaChOleleR opened up the B-site for business and won the first one for RDX. A couple of rounds were seen to be traded back and forth as RDX showed resilience after coming back from 0-5 to end the first half 8-7 in their favor. Every player of RDX indeed had their own fair share in tipping the scales as Logan, ZEROkNg98, and L0sttt_ rose to prominence during the latter stages. 

Coming from the break, Team IKARI were able to get off the pistol round after Langoti clutched it with a brilliant 2K post plant. IKARI and RDX traded off rounds back and forth with RDX taking the lead on their defense, 13-12 as the scoreline suggested. But it took IKARI’s _SamX_ just one clutch to cripple the reinforcements set up by the CTs which not only won them the 27th round but helped them win Ancient 16-13 as RDX seemed destitute and listless post _SamX_’s 1v4 post-plant clutch. 

Map 2: Anubis (Pick: IKARI, Winner: RDX, Final Score: 16:13 )

No team really took off on Anubis with RDX trying to dominate over their opponents after winning straight 4 rounds but failed as IKARI managed to play the trade game which saw both the sides settle out on a 7-8 scoreline in the first half. WolFy alongside Pee3eky of IKARI were able to secure the pistol round after picking out RDX from the A-site. 

Pee3eky who sniped 3 enemies from breaking in onto the B bombsite extended the lead further for IKARI, promising them a commanding position with 12 rounds on the board and not conceding a single round across the second half. RDX answered back with ZEROkNg98 picking up a quadra-kill in the 22nd round to help his team square out the deficit. RDX were successfully able to charter their comeback on Anubis as they started to pull out tricks off their hats in annihilating the reinforcements set up by the CTs. 

Map 3: Mirage (Mirage was left over in Veto, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 19-16 )

IKARI comfortably got off to a 4-1 lead with _SamX_ and and Langoti locking out the Ts from the bombsites. The most beautiful part about Mirage is how the Terrorists can plan out their utilities, which indeed helped both sides to trade rounds back and forth after 2 gruesome games on Ancient and Anubis. Aggressive plays from RDX helped them get early picks on Logan and company although their proceedings were never hurt by the same as they managed to get the first half to their names, thanks to TORREZ who picked up a 3K on B before sticking the bomb down for some extra cash. 

RDX claimed yet another pistol round on their defense which allowed them to rack up a lump sum amount of rounds till match point which was marred by the duo of _SamX_ and olegaming who left no stone unturned in forcing overtime upon RDX. Despite some serious efforts put in by RDX, it was IKARI who triumphed as they picked up the series against the former, 2-1.

2. Slow Aimers Esports Ban Mirage
3. RDX Pick Overpass
4. Slow Aimers Pick Ancient
5. RDX Ban Anubis
6. Slow Aimers Esports Ban Nuke
7. Inferno was left over 

Map 1: Overpass (Pick: RDX, Winner: Slow Aimers, Final Score: 28:25)

Despite winning the pistol round on the CT side of Overpass, Slow Aimers couldn’t convert the follow-up rounds as a force buy from RDX on the second round caught them off-guard. It wasn’t until the fifth round that Slow Aimers were able to put up their second point on the board. From there, the teams traded rounds back and forth till the half ended 8-7 in favor of Slow Aimers.

RDX looked much more comfortable on the CT side as they converted the pistol round with four players still standing. However, a force buy from Slow Aimers in the following round was enough to steal the momentum away from RDX as the score tied 8-8. Slow Aimers took the lead by winning the next three rounds without much hassle, but a win from RDX on the 20th round forced them into an eco. RDX tied up the score 11-11 before an impressive A-Site hold by ‘Logan’ gave them the lead in the 23rd round. RDX could extend their lead up to 13-11 before Slow Aimers regained their momentum with a knife kill by ‘MaYuReSh’. They could secure no more than 15 rounds before RDX retaliated and forced overtime on the first map.

RDX maintained their momentum in the overtime and extended their lead to 17-15, but a jaw-dropping 1v4 clutch from ‘MaYuReSh’ with an AWP stopped the team from getting to match point. Slow Aimers then proceeded to convert three out of the remaining four rounds to take the match into another overtime. The second overtime saw some great individual performances from the AWPers as the teams traded rounds back and forth to force a third overtime, which extended further into a fourth overtime as no team was willing to give up. The fifth overtime saw Slow Aimers finally take control as they closed out the game 28-25, marking it as the longest game in the tournament so far.

At the end of the game, Slow Aimers’ ‘SMOKE’ was sitting on the top of the leaderboard at a whopping 47 kills, while RDX’s ‘Logan’ trailed shortly behind at 46 kills.

Map 2: Ancient (Pick: Slow Aimers, Winner: RDX, Final Score: 19:17)

RDX kicked off Ancient with a win on the first pistol round on the CT side of the map, but force-buys prevailed once again as Slow Aimers stole the second round from them. RDX could convert the following two rounds but Slow Aimers swiftly equalized 3-3 following an insane 1v4 clutch from ‘5M0KE’ with an AK-47. The momentum from Slow Aimers continued till they put up eight rounds on the board, but RDX weren’t giving up so easily as they closed the half 7-8.

Slow Aimers had a great start to the CT side on Ancient, winning the first three rounds before RDX could put up a round win on their T-side. However, a series of well-executed plays from RDX quickly turned the tide in their favor, and not before long they were standing at match points while their rivals only had 12 rounds on the board. Slow Aimers then proceeded to take the last three rounds of the half to force overtime once again.

RDX found themselves having a head start in overtime as they secured the first three rounds without any hassle to make the score 18-15. While Slow Aimers put up a fight in the second half, it wasn’t enough to stop RDX from winning game 2 with a score of 19-17 in their favor.

Map 3: Inferno (Winner: RDX, Final Score: 16:9)

Inferno started with RDX decking up a quick 3-0 lead before Slow Aimers bounced back into the game with commanding 3 rounds thanks to the duo of 5m0ke and MaYuReSh xD who defied the Ts from breaking in their reinforcements. RDX quite put up a show with a straight 8-round win, annihilating every bombsite they broke into. The first half went in the favor of RDX with a scoreline of 11-4 before MaChOleleR and company tried to claw into the game by nearing out the score of 8-11. 

But with no fuel in the tank, especially from the gruesome Overpass and Ancient picks, it was Slow Aimers who bled out in the hands of RDX who secured a comfortable series win, 2-1. 

Teams will play out each other in a double elimination bracket with all the match-ups to be Best of 3s. You can catch the live action on AA’s YouTube, Glance, and Rooter channels and on their Facebook Page.

Overpass started off with FIREDUP running away with a comfortable 8-0 lead on their defense thanks to ChAmP and GhosTTTTizZback who set up the initial rhythm for their team, converting post plants into successful retakes. It was the 9th round where Slow Aimers were finally able to bag their first round, with Vishal and 5m0ke getting the best out of MithilF and company as they annihilated the reinforcements set up on the A bombsite. 

The first half went into the favor of FIREDUP Gaming as they ended with a scoreline of 12-3, forcing Slow Aimers to revise their strategy before going into the second. Nothing much could the latter do as it was once again FIREDUP who came out with all their guns blazing on their attack, locking out Slow Aimers that too on their CT side. Rider of FIREDUP was determined as the best player from Overpass with 24 kills at the cost of just 10 deaths, 3 assists and ADR of 128.40 across the map.

The duo of ChAmP and Rider once again were phenomenal in putting FIREDUP onto the driver’s seat as they easily cruised past their opponent, 13-2 in the first half. 

Coming from the break, Slow Aimers tried to crawl their way back into the game as they team aced the pistol round and got the 18th and 19th rounds before FIREDUP bought their equipment from the armory and ending it once for all, pushing down Slow Aimers to the Lower Bracket.
