Street Fighter 6 reveals Kimberly and Juri in New Trailer

Capcom, the developer of Street Fighter 6 has announced the addition of two new fighters. Initially, it was revealed on-stage during Evo 2022 and later through the official Street Fighter Twitter account. The new trailer displays a returning fighter and a new challenger that will be joining the Street Fighter 6 roster.

The addition of Juri is not a surprise for the fans as it first appeared in Super Street Fighter IV, well known for its sadistic thrill-seeker abilities. On the other hand, Kimberly is a new addition to the roster. Capcom says, “As a devoted student to Bushinryu, Kimberly has trained body and mind in order to execute traditional ninja techniques”.

Kimberly’s super moves consist of fast-paced jabs and aerial kicks, along with a number of bicycle kicks. In one of her super moves, we could see her spray her opponent with graffiti for a brilliantly colorful finish. 

Whereas Juri looks a little different since first appeared in Super Street Fighter 4. We can see her riding into battle on a motorcycle and making her opponents suffer with a flurry of tornado kicks. 

Street Fighter 6 was officially revealed at the June 2022 State of Play. The initial trailer confirmed the presence of a number of characters, including Ryu, Luke, and Chun-Li.

New CSGO Map Tuscan is Now Available to Play

If you’ve been a fan of the Counter-Strike franchise since its early days, get ready for a trip down memory lane as the iconic CS 1.6 map de_tuscan has been completely revamped and is already available to download in CS:GO as a playable bomb defusal map.

Last year, we reported how map devs Brute and Catfood have been working on introducing a new Tuscan to CS:GO. Recently, we also reported how the CS:GO devs were testing out the new version of Tuscan, which led many to believe that this map might be introduced to the game as a part of the next CS:GO update.

It seems that the players’ wishes might have been answered, as the new Tuscan seems to be ready to play and is currently available to download in the Steam Community Workshop.

“The Tuscan full release is now out on the workshop,” Catfood confirmed on Twitter today. “I wish everyone a good game and have fun!!”

Tuscan CSGO Available on Steam CSGO Workshop

While players can choose to download the revamped Tuscan from the workshop, it hasn’t been officially introduced to the game as of yet. However, since the 10th anniversary of CS:GO is just around the corner, don’t be surprised if the new Tuscan is shipped to the title alongside the heavily anticipated CSGO 10th anniversary update.

Interested players can download the new version of Tuscan here and play it with their friends or on community servers.

Indian CSGO Pro Sandip Singh passes away at 26

Indian CSGO community received heartbreaking news today as Sandip Singh aka JaguaR, from Kolkata, West Bengal, passed away. JaguaR was a well-known Indian pro player who played for multiple organisations, one of them being JMD Gaming from Kolkata.

Sandip “JaguaR” Singh was 26 years old. The details of the incident remains unknown. JaguaR was one of the earliest esports professional from India and played alongside JMD at several local LAN tournaments.

JaguaR started his journey at a very young age. He was an Indian pro player who started competing professionally at just 16 years old. He was a part of closely knitted esports and CSGO community when the industry just started growing in the country.

Sandip played for teams like JMD Gaming, Goutfits, Foulplay and LevelZero. Alongside his teammate MaachO, Zerocool, tryst and TORREZ, Team JMD had won ILG Kolkata CSGO Qualifiers.

Left To Right: Dibyalok Goswami, Dipayan Das, Jit Duttachoudhury, Soubhik Saha and Sandip Singh.

Sandip played alongside several Indian CS:GO personas that went on to have career breakthroughs in VALORANT, including Enigma Gaming’s Antidote, Team VLT’s HellF and several others.

Antidote, a professional VALORANT player from Enigma, reminisced about his old memories with Sandip. He quoted a very sentimental goodbye to his old teammate.

"Today I lost the guy with whom | started gaming. I cannot forget those 9am cafe to 5pm cafe moments bunking school. Then our first pro team together. So many hurdles were there back in 2010. He's was my brother, my wingman, my chatta. I'm sorry bhai I couldn't do anything for you. I love you and I'll cherish all our memories."

Indian CSGO community has lost one of its backbone who shaped the esports scenario in India and gave many memorable moments to his friends, allies, fans and his family.
