kennyS exits G2 Esports, signs up with Team Falcons

KennyS first became a member of G2 Esports in February 2017, and he played competitively there until March 2021. Since that time, he has been creating content for the organization, primarily concentrating on CSGO although also participates in other games such as VALORANT.

After a brief absence, he returned to competition filling in the shoes of Nemanja “nexa” Isakovi at the IEM: Winter 2021.

After being placed on the bench by G2 in March 2021, kennyS has been unable to compete for the past 18 months. The decision was made after the French AWPer, who had struggled with mental health concerns for years, had a string of disappointing tournament results and a downward trend in his overall performance.

The departure brings to a close the French AWPer’s nearly six-year-long tenure with G2, which began with the formation of the so-called “French superteam” in February of 2017 alongside Richard “shox” Papillon, Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, and Nathan “NBK-” Schmitt.

kennyS was instrumental in G2’s journey to victory at ESL Pro League Season 5, DreamHack Masters Malmo, and DreamHack Open Tours 2017. 

There were rumors that the Frenchman wanted to concentrate completely on Riot Games’ first-person shooter after having previously put his attention on VALORANT. There were even claims that KennyS was competing in the trials for OG’s VALORANT division in April of 2022, which reportedly never went through. 

With his exit from G2 Esports, kennyS has joined the forces of Nathan “NBK-” Schmitt, Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier, Ali “hAdji” Haïnouss, and Jordan “Python” Munck-Foehrle under Falcons. 

Together with HEET, Falcons have established themselves as one of the most impressive full French rosters competing in CSGO thus far in 2018. After finishing with a record of 2-3 in the Europe RMR B, the team came very close to qualifying for the IEM CSGO Rio Major 2022. On October 25, the Falcons bid farewell to Bryan “Maka” Canda, clearing the way for KennyS.

In an interview with Dexerto, kennyS stated, “I think I deserve one last chance to finish my career in a way that is not being on the bench. I’m grateful I have the opportunity to do things differently. It feels amazing to be back. I’m really happy,”

Further, the 27-year-old Frenchman has desired to bolster his team’s chances to qualify for the BLAST.tv Paris Major which starts in May 2023.

“I have played so many Majors, and missing the Rio Major was already quite painful. At least trying to qualify for the BLAST Major is something I really want to do. The Paris Major is definitely the biggest objective and something I will grind for,” he concluded.

Falcons CSGO now have:

  • Nathan “⁠NBK-⁠” Schmitt
  • Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier
  • Kenny “⁠kennyS⁠” Schrub
  • Ali “⁠hAdji⁠” Haïnouss
  • Jordan “⁠Python⁠” Munck-Foehrle
  • Steeve “⁠Ozstrik3r⁠” Flavigni (Head Coach)

TenZ could leave Sentinels after the 2023 Valorant Champions Tour

After Sentinels parted ways with almost the entirety of its Valorant roster, TenZ is the only player who remains from the previous iteration.

According to a previous report from Dexerto, TenZ re-signed with the club and will participate in the VCT 2023 season with Sentinels.

After joining Sentinels from Cloud9 on an undisclosed 8-figure deal, the 21-year-old Canadian came out with all his guns blazing. Unfortunately, the team was beaten by practically every contender in the Group Stage of the VCT 2022: North America Challengers 2.

With Sentinels signing four new players for the VCT 2023 Season, TenZ feels optimistic about his new teammates, and in an interview with Tarik “tarik” Celik, he stated, “The recent results don’t reveal precisely who I am as a player. With any luck, I’ll be able to demonstrate the form I was in before.”

Zachary “zekken” Patrone, Rory “dephh” Jackson, Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi, and Bryan “pANcada” Luna have joined Sentinels for the next season with Don “SyykoNT” Muir to serve as the head coach. The sixth member of the team, Hunter “SicK” Mims, is the only other player besides TenZ who will be remaining at Sentinels.

TenZ was regarded as the best Valorant player during the entirety of 2021, despite his recent tournament results. He is still one of the finest, and if he were to join forces with the appropriate group of people, he could be able to regain his previous level of success.

But, sadly, Sentinels has not been performing up to the standard in recent international competitions, and the new and improved squad could be just what TenZ needs to achieve goals and become successful.

Sentinels’ most recent results featured getting eliminated from the VCT 2022 NA LCQ where the team picked Michael “shroud” Grzesiek as a replacement for Hunter “SicK” Mims.

With TenZ having re-signed with the club for the 2023 VCT Season, he might exit from Sentinels after to take up content creation.

MrBeast now has more YouTube subscribers than PewDiePie

MrBeast surpasses PewDiePie in terms of most subscribed YoutTube Video Creator.

Just weeks after reaching 100M YouTube subscribers, MrBeast has overtaken PewDiePie as YouTube’s most subscribed video creator.

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has been one of the fastest-rising YouTubers on the Google-owned site during the past few years, surpassing his target of 100 million subscribers in July.

Now, he has ensured his position as the site’s most subscribed content producer, surpassing PewDiePie, a Swedish creator who has been active on the site for a long time.

The most subscribed channel on YouTube is now MrBeast

MrBeast’s primary channel reached 111,851,893 subscribers on November 14, 2022, surpassing PewDiePie’s by a few thousand subscribers at the time this article was written.

As a result of achieving this goal, MrBeast has become the individual content creator on the Google-owned platform with the most subscribers.

In July of 2022, Donaldson followed in PewDiePie’s footsteps by being the second person on YouTube to ever exceed 100 million views, and only a few short weeks later, he received a response from the channel’s creator.

“Come on, I’ve been retired for like 2 years now. I can’t wait for it to be over […] that’s alright he definitely deserves it. I hope he does it,”

PewDiePie on Donaldson surpassing him on YouTube.

Both of the renowned content producers have not yet commented on the recent success, but we’ll keep you informed as soon as they do. MrBeast gave away a private island in a contest to commemorate reaching 100 million subscribers, and now many are curious as to what he will do next.

Donaldson, a YouTuber since 2012, became famous in 2018 after donating thousands of dollars to minor Twitch streamers and YouTubers. In more recent times, he has been filming elaborate contests in which followers take part in videos for the opportunity to win significant rewards.

In June, he awarded $500,000 to a supporter in a competition based on “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” and in December, he recreated the Netflix show “Squid Game” for a competition with 456 backers.

PewDiePie, also known as Felix Arvid Ulvid Kjellberg, has been uploading gaming videos on YouTube since 2010. In 2013, he became the YouTuber with the most subscribers, and in August 2019, he became the first creator to reach 100 million subscribers.

Kjellberg announced four months later that he was taking a hiatus from YouTube due to fatigue, and he has posted less regularly since then.

In May, he announced to his supporters that he had relocated to Japan from his former residence in Brighton, England. Since then, he has been providing them with updates on his life in Japan in the form of video blogs.

Kjellberg acknowledged in August that Donaldson was likely to surpass him as the YouTuber with the most subscribers, stating in a video that Donaldson “deserves it.”

What Is Ohio joke on TikTok?

There has been a sudden rise in puns and trolls directed towards America’s state Ohio in TikTok that has left everyone confused, in this article, we unravel the mystery and origin of this weird trend.

In recent times, especially on TikTok, it is difficult to not have come across “Only in Ohio” memes and videos. Having originated in TikTok in the last few weeks, said memes and videos have made it outside of TikTok into other platforms like reddit and Facebook.

The sudden rise of “Only in Ohio” memes has given rise to the question in the minds of many for obvious reasons. This begs the question, where did it come from and how did it originate:

@bonzzibuddy

1min ohio compilation 😹😹#DidYouYawn #speed #ishowspeed #donpollo #💀 #fyp #foryou #fakesituation #bro #dawg #ohio #DidYouYawn #goofyahh #onlyinohio

♬ ohio1 – BonzziBuddy

What is TikTok’s Ohio joke?

As “Know Your Meme” describes it, despite the recent increase in its use, it is an age old meme hailing from Tumblr. Having originated back in 2015, a user who went by the name screenshotofdespair posted a photo that showed “Ohio will be eliminated” written. This has been widely accepted as the origin point of the meme.

The top comment on the post was “Only in Ohio” and it soon became a meme as time passed. That showed bizarre incidents happening across the world and somehow tie it to Ohio that suggests suggesting incidents are restricted to Ohio in an ironic way.

The meme since then has surfaced again and is trending once again on TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit.

5 things you need to know before BGMI unban

Battlegrounds Mobile India and its ban saga is a trending topic in India right now as everybody is expecting the game to return very soon. While the game is still in the process of getting unblocked, here are five things that you need to know before BGMI unban.

1. KRAFTON HAS NOT DECLARED THE UNBAN DATE

The first point is probably the most crucial one in current time where every player in the community is looking for an unban date. Krafton has not declared any sort of unban date or timeline yet and hence, we advice our readers to refrain from referring to any other third-party sources claiming to provide an unban date for BGMI.

2. BGMI WAS BANNED DUE TO PRIVACY CONCERNS

The main reason behind Indian government taking such a stringent action to cease the distribution of BGMI was its user privacy concerns. This idea stems from the PUBG Mobile ban era where the game was banned for having Chinese connections and server sharing.

A similar thing is apparently observed in BGMI, which is why the game was blocked officially in the entire nation.

3. PLAYERS CANNOT DO INGAME PURCHASE IN BGMI

This point applies for the players that are still playing the game despite the ban. Ever since the ban order was instigated in the country, players have observed that any kind of in-game payment results into failure.

A main reason behind this is the fact that all in-game purchases are fulfilled by the official marketplaces like Apple App or Google Play store. The game is currently not available on both the platforms and hence, players cannot buy items.

4. BGMI SERVERS ARE STILL ACTIVE

An interesting point to note here is that BGMI ban has only affected its distribution while the game servers are still up and running. This was not seen in PUBG Mobile ban where the servers were taken down within days of the game being banned.

5. KRAFTON IS STILL IN TOUCH WITH INDIAN GOVT. OVER THE BAN

This is a point of reassurance for the entire BGMI community as Krafton has recently revealed in their PR that they are still in touch with the Indian government and trying to bring back the BGMI services in the country.

Team HAVK becomes the first Indian team to shine at an International PUBG event

Team HAVK represented India at the Asia Pacific Predator League 2022, a LAN competition featuring the best Asian PUBG teams.

Team HAVK finished tenth after three days with 64 points, 32 finish points, and 32 placement points. On the other hand, they were unable in acquiring even a single WWCD (Winner Winner Chicken Dinner).

One of the finest PUBG players in India, Pratik “Aurum” Mehra, who is also the captain of this squad, was pleased with the performance of the team. He stated that “This is the best performance of any Indian team who went out to represent India in PUBG PC.”

Team HAVK put on quite a show at an international PUBG tournament in Japan. Asia Pacific Predator League 2022‘s grand final stage came to an end yesterday after three days of nonstop activity from November 11 to 13.

This competition included a total of sixteen teams from Asia, all of which had to compete in a number of different regional qualifiers in order to gain a position in the event.

Through their performance in the Indian Qualifier earlier in the year, Team HAVK was able to secure a slot for themselves in the main tournament. The following players were included in the starting lineup:

1. Pratik “Aurum” Mehra – IGL

2. Vinay “Hades” Rao

3. Vedang “Vedzz” Chavan

4. Karthik “Killua” Vijayakumar

5. Habibi

At the international LAN tournament that was held in Japan, the team competed to the best of its abilities and ended up placing tenth overall after accruing a total of 64 points over the course of 15 matches, with only a difference of two points separating them from the team that finished ninth, Macan Semeru.

“The performance with (a) two month old team and a very minimal amount of competitive practice due to lack of scrims for Indian teams, (and) to play against (an) international lobby, our performance was still average versus the strongest teams of the SEA area,” HAVK captain Aurum said after the competition.

Only the top three teams were awarded a portion of the overall $120,000 USD prize money.

1. Genius Esports | $75,000 USD

2. DAMWON Gaming | $30,000 USD

3. ArkAngel Predator | $15,000 USD

Taking into consideration that the esports environment for PUBG is virtually nonexistent in the nation as a whole, the team put up an impressive display. Considering that the team only participates in one international competition each year, these performances are undeniably more than just satisfactory.
