Lethal Esports Take the Second Loss; Reckoning Esports Clean Swipe 2-0

Lethal Esports played their second match today against the debut of Reckoning Esports’ Lineup. LE didn’t seem to get a foothold even in their second match of this split, losing to RGE 2-0 in a one-sided fashion.

Reckoning Esports Roster and Lineup

Reckoning Esports had a talented lineup of Harsh “Harshhh” Arora as IGL, Saksham “Deadly10” Aurangabadkar, Varun “Mast3r” Menon, Daniil “flabben” Merzlyakov and

Aleksandr “hvoya” Eremin.

Lethal Esports Roster and Lineup

Lethal Esports consisted of Agneya “Marzil” Koushik as IGL, Shivam “sh1vy” Ajmani, Anil “LuciA” Kumar, Shahul “Khelthuzad” Hameed, Kiran “Rossi” Rossi, and Ayush “Cybell” Singh (Sub).

Map Veto and Selection

Haven and Lotus were banned by Lethal and Reckoning respectively. Lethal picked Pearl while Reckoning picked Ascent. Split and Fracture were banned making Icebox the last map of the veto.

Match Recap

Reckoning Esports picked defense first, despite their attack-sided composition of two duelists, Phoenix and Jett. The pistol round went to LE, with Shivy clutching a 1 vs 2 situation. LE got the anti-eco as well as the bonus, getting them the momentum they needed. LE led 4-0 when RGE decided to pull their socks up. With flabben’s operator, RGE closed out the half in their favor with a scoreline of 7-5. On the attack side, RGE seemed to be too powerful for LE’s defense, as they gave no space for them to breathe, dropping only one round in attack, that too the bonus round, closing the map at 13-6. Both Hvoya and Flabben dropped 22 kills, carrying the team to victory.

Ascent saw a slow start from RGE, with LE getting the pistol round and Kheltuzad getting a quadruple kill on the anti-eco round. Flabben secured the buy round for RGE with a triple kill. Flabben and Hvoya both proved to be “lethal” for LE as they did not have any answer for their unprecedented aggression and crisp aim getting multiple frags and finishing the half 8-4.

RGE maintained their domination in defense, getting a flawless pistol round. Kheltuzad broke the flow for RGE by getting a triple-kill clutch on their buy round. Kheltuzad gets a triple kill in the consecutive round as well but LE failed to capitalize on their advantage and gave away the round, bringing the score to 11-5. RGE, with their unorthodox use of chamber after the nerf patch, showcased an amazing hold against the aggression of LE. Flabben had a KDA of 25/8/1 with an ACS of 383, carrying his team to victory.  Finishing 13-5 with a flawless round, RGE showed that they are here to dominate and might be one of the teams to look out for.

Counter-Strike 2 Leaks Suggest New Anti-Cheat Feature ‘VAC Live’

On March 22, 2023, Valve’s announcement of Counter-Strike 2 took the world by storm. The news of the highly anticipated Source 2 engine upgrade for CSGO was met with global celebrations from fans of the FPS genre, as the company confirmed the upgrade along with a host of other exciting features.

Scheduled for a full release in Summer 2023, Counter-Strike 2 will bring lots of new content and improvements over the currently existing CSGO, which is based on the Source 1 engine. Features such as tickless servers, responsive smokes, and revamped maps, are something that the Counter-Strike community is eagerly looking forward to seeing in action. On top of that, if leaks are anything to go by, improvements to the anti-cheat system are also on the horizon.

According to a recent Tweet by prominent CSGO data miner ‘Aquarius’, a new anti-cheat measure for Counter-Strike 2 is already in the works.

This new anti-cheat feature for Counter-Strike 2 is called “VAC Live”, and it’s supposedly an improvement over the current VAC that exists in CSGO.

From the initial looks at the feature, it seems that VAC Live will instantly terminate any match that is in progress when a cheater is detected on the server.

It’s a similar approach to Valorant’s anti-cheat system, where a cheater being detected results in an instant match termination, nullifying any changes to rank or MMR.

Whether the ‘VAC live’ feature will be present in the live game at the time of its official launch is still not certain at the time of writing. However, the game’s community has commended the efforts of the developers to address the growing issue of cheaters in CSGO.

Cheaters Got Counter-Strike 2 Beta Access Before Consistent CSGO Streamers

Cheaters Got Counter-Strike 2 Beta Access Before Consistent CSGO Streamers

Counter-Strike 2 has finally been revealed by Valve after several weeks of speculation around the same. Prior to the announcement, data miners were able to spot changes in the databases that read “today” building upon the hype for the former.

Valve’s highly anticipated “Counter-Strike 2” is set to make its debut with a limited test starting today. 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.”

Upon its announcement, 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. 

According to the Anti-Cheat Police Department on Twitter, there have been a significant number of cheaters who have got access to the closed beta test of CS2. WarOwl (who has dedicated the last decade of their content to CS) and Anomaly, among other content producers, have not yet been given access to the game.

CSGO has a bad reputation for being a safe haven for cheaters, who undermine the smart and competitive environment the game strives to create. Players have complained about the anti-cheat system ever since the game was swarmed by hackers and have successfully fled to other first-person shooters like Valorant or third-party sites like Faceit.

Players who have been previously banned by Valve in CSGO do not get access to CS2 and nor will they get unbanned as stated by Valve on their official blog. Recent events don’t seem to support Valve’s commitment to fighting against hackers and cheaters in Counter-Strike 2, despite promises of an improved anti-cheat system.

At the moment, players are dissatisfied and concerned about cheaters as the most anticipated sequel of the first person is now online. There is still time before CS2 comes out of Beta testing and so we hope that it gets patched with a new Anti Cheat system. For more updates about Counter-Strike 2, make sure to follow TalkEsport on Google News.

Droppy Flops: The Flappy Bird Inspired Game is now in Fortnite

Back in 2013, the game Flappy Bird was introduced, and it quickly became popular. The game was playable practically anywhere, at any time. Players could continue playing indefinitely until they lost since the game had an endless lifespan.

In the game, players would need to touch their screen in time to let the bird flap its wings and push itself aloft in order to dodge the pipes that approached them.

Unexpectedly, Flappy Bird has made its royal entry into Fortnite, in the shape of the aptly called, Droopy Flops. With the help of characters like Dolphin Copter, Bugger Duckie, Book of Colors, Dragonstony, and Sweet Rush, Infinity Studios recreated the classic mobile game inside Fortnite.

Infinity Studios has recently published Droopy Flops in Fortnite which is a Flappy Bird inspired game and thus it is anticipating several issues to show up during playing the game. You may contact Infinity Studios via their Twitter page if you run across any bugs.

Do you need PS Plus to play Overwatch 2?

Do you need PS Plus to play Overwatch 2?

Ever since Overwatch 2 launched, it has been queried several times whether it would be available on PS Plus? PS Plus is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gold subscription in exchange for online play. 

The fact that Overwatch 2 is primarily a multiplayer online game has led some PS4 and PS5 console owners to wonder if they need to be PS Plus members to play the game.

Overwatch took everyone by storm in 2015, and its sequel, Overwatch 2 was brought to life in 2022, 7 years after its prequel’s release. While Blizzard’s newest multiplayer offering, Overwatch, has had its share of issues since its release, Overwatch 2 is expected to be a welcome change of pace for players.

Players in Overwatch 2 would experience a whole new set of maps, new characters, and different play styles.  But some PlayStation owners have grown worried about whether Overwatch 2 would be available to them via PS Plus?

Is PlayStation Plus required for Overwatch 2 play?

It is indeed a triumph for PlayStation Console players as Overwatch 2 won’t demand any PS Plus subscription if you decide to play it on your PlayStation Console. However, most free-to-play games do not necessitate a PS Plus membership, most specifically online multiplayer games as they are played out by a plethora of players including streamers and content creators. 

Players can now enjoy Overwatch 2 on their consoles without any hesitations about getting themselves a monthly subscription. However, many players are counting on Blizzard to swiftly address the issue of longer-than-usual queue periods and server interruptions.

Due to the game’s free-to-play policy, the game monetizes primarily through the sale of in-game cosmetics and other items. It’s possible that Blizzard will reverse course and decide to alter this strategy in the future, but it’s also highly unlikely that this will be the outcome.

Is Counter-Strike 2 going to be free to play?

Is Counter-Strike 2 going to be free to play?

Counter-Strike 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular first-person shooter game Counter-Strike, has been a topic of much discussion and speculation among gaming enthusiasts. One of the most common questions being asked is whether Counter-Strike 2 will be free-to-play. In this article, we will explore this question and look at some of the factors that had an impact on the decision.

First, let’s take a look at the current state of Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the most recent instalment in the series, has been available since 2012 and has amassed a massive following of dedicated players. The game has a competitive scene that is alive and well, with regular tournaments and leagues held around the world. Despite being nearly a decade old, CS:GO continues to attract new players and maintain a significant player base.

Is Counter-Strike 2 going to be free to play?

With that said, there has been talk of a new Counter-Strike game for some time now. Rumours of a sequel began circulating years ago and after years of teasing, the game is finally here and fans have a plethora of questions. The game comes as a free upgrade with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and can be downloaded for free from Steam. It is free to play for owners and non-owners CSGO at launch.

Firstly, it is worth noting that the free-to-play model has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in the world of online multiplayer games. Games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone have all adopted the free-to-play model, which allows players to download and play the game for free, with revenue generated through in-game purchases and microtransactions. This model has proven to be highly successful, and Counter-Strike 2 could follow suit.

Another factor to consider is the competition. While CS:GO has maintained a significant player base, there are other first-person shooter games on the market that are vying for players’ attention. Games like Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege all have their own unique features and appeal to different audiences. If Counter-Strike 2 wants to compete with these games, it may need to adopt a free-to-play model to attract new players and maintain its position as a leader in the genre.

The trailer is highly promising and fans cannot wait to get their hands on the game. Looks like Counter-Strike is ready to take back its crown, though many may argue the FPS never lost it.

Will Counter-Strike 2 be playable on Steam Deck?

Will Counter-Strike 2 be playable on Steam Deck?

Counter-Strike 2 has finally been revealed by Valve after several weeks of speculation around the same. Prior to the announcement, data miners were able to spot changes in the databases that read “today” building upon the hype for the former. 

Valve’s highly anticipated “Counter-Strike 2” is set to make its debut with a limited test starting today. 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.”

Beginning today, 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. 

Now the question arises, will Counter-Strike 2 be available to play on the Steam Deck? As opposed to “whether” or “not,” a better question would be “how” it plays out.

Both Counter-Strike: Source and Global Offensive, published by Valve, made use of the Source 1 engine. To avoid upsetting the competitive esports scene, Valve allowed CS: GO to continue using the older technology while it transitioned to Source 2 and released Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx on the newer platform.

Unfortunately, Source 2 has not yet been given a thorough workout on the Steam Deck. Even though it hasn’t been verified, you can bet that Valve will make sure Counter-Strike 2 is playable on the Steam Deck. We have no doubt that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will operate smoothly on the Steam Deck, despite the fact that its maximum resolution is limited to 1280 x 800 when the ship is not docked.

The games published by Valve and a lot of other developers are tested to work on virtually every platform. This will help people in developing countries or places where internet cafés are popular but where access to a computer may not be readily available.

The Steam Deck is likely the best method to play Half-Life: Alyx on the go, given the availability of Source 2 mods for the game and the already impressive performance for much more demanding games.

The only drawback is that you won’t be able to use a mouse and keyboard, but whether Valve plans to divide the player base between those who prefer to play with a gamepad and those who prefer to use a mouse and keyboard remains to be seen.

Counter-Strike 2 is set to launch this summer with the Beta Testing already handed out to players who qualify the early bird as read in the FAQ published by Steam.
