Liqudi vs Natus Vincere IEM Rio CSGO Major Recap

The third round of the IEM Rio CS:GO Major kicked off with Natus Vincere locking horns with Team Liquid, their first-ever official with Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis who was officially signed into the team prior to the start of the major.

Below you can find the Map Veto between these two teams alongside a summary of how things unfolded going ahead into the day.

Map: Ancient (Leftover in the pool, Winner: Team Liquid, Final Score: 16:14)

Natus Vincere got off to a flawless start going up 8-3 early into the game. Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella and his men felt destitute and listless as the reinforcements set by Denis “⁠electroNic⁠” Sharipov and Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi in particular caused Liquid a lot of trouble in opening up sites for the C4 business.

With Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev packing up the North Americans while on a B-site attempt, Natus Vincere found themselves in the driver’s seat and poised to run away with Ancient as they ended the first half 12-3.

After a pistol round and a subsequent conversion, Liquid indeed found its rhythm with Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski taking up the mantle to replicate the same situation for Natus Vincere. It all came down to the score tied up 13-13 as it was Joshua “oSee” Ohm who closed out the game with a kill with his sniper and a defuse to go 2-1 up in the Legends Stage of the IEM: Rio CS:GO Major 2022.

ESL removes Sadokist from IEM Rio Major after alleged altercation

ESL has officially removed the Canadian CSGO commentator Matthew “Sadokist” Trivett from the IEM Rio Major talent lineup. He will no longer be able to take part in the Brazil Major.

According to sources, ESL took this decision after Sadokist went into an altercation in the hotel while being under influence which called for the emergency service.

We can confirm that an incident took place last night involving Sadokist. As a result of this, Anders has stepped in to commentate for the remainder of the tournament. We have no further comments and would like the focus to remain on the competition.

ESL

However, Sadokist didn’t comment anything regarding this incident.

Surprisingly, Sadokist was missing from the first day of IEM Rio Major while the popular CSGO caster Anders Blume took over his duty and started casting with Jason “moses” O’Toole. Previously, Anders was working as a Skybox telestrator.

This is not the first time for Sadokist. He was involved in another incident a few years ago. In 2018, Sadokist got banned by Twitch due to inappropriate behavior and the use of racial slurs.

BGMI 2.0 fake launch trailers surface on YouTube

Battlegrounds Mobile India is a widely popularized game in India and has millions of active players that still play the game despite it being banned by the Indian government. The entire mobile gaming community is waiting for its return and some personnel have taken advantage of this situation to spread rumors.

BGMI 2.0 trailer released on the internet is fake

BGMI ban has been a shady topic in the past few weeks as the community had no official update from the developers and players have been seeking answers from any possible source.

This has led the way for multiple spammers that took advantage of the situation to spread rumors. One of these rumors is the return of BGMI in a new form called BGMI 2.0. Apparently, some “launch trailers” of this new game were seen spreading across the internet.

BGMI recently released their first ever new content related to BGMI since the ban. This release was entirely dedicated towards providing a “Support” option for their players in the game but some might have taken a wrong indication from this and believed that the game might be unbanned soon.

We would like to let our readers know that no BGMI has not been unbanned in any capacity and hence, any kind of new launch trailer or the other information related to this is completely fake.

Players should only wait for authentic information via the developers or Indian govt, rather than falling prey to such fake videos.  The video being circulated right now is just a reupload of BGMI launch that happened last year.

Valorant Rank Distribution – October 2022

Valorant is currently one of the biggest competitive shooters in the world of video games, and millions of players tune into the title each day to refine their skills and get better at the game while competing against others in 5v5 games.

It goes without saying that a competitive game like this also requires a rock-solid ranking system that correctly grades its players based on their skill level. Riot Games’ ranking system for Valorant consists of several rank groups, where each rank group is further divided into three subgroups which the players must cross to proceed to the next skill level.

The rank groups consist of Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Ascendant, Immortal, and Radiant. The Radiant is the highest attainable rank in the game and is the only rank that doesn’t include any sub-ranks.

It’s important to note that not all players can participate in ranked Valorant games. Players need to be at least level 20 in Valorant to unlock ranked mode in the shooter.

Mei Disabled in Overwatch 2 After Game-Breaking Exploit Surfaces

Blizzard Entertainment has temporarily removed Mei from the Overwatch 2 hero pool after a major exploit that involved her ‘Ice Wall’ ability surfaced online. The game-breaking bug enabled an allied Kiriko to shoot through certain walls without the risk of taking any damage from the opposing team.

Once the exploit was brought to light by Overwatch 2 players from throughout the world, the developers have removed Mei from the game in response. She will be returning to the game alongside the upcoming Overwatch 2 update on November 15, 2022.

“We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allowed heroes to reach unintended locations when used with their abilities,” Overwatch 2 community manager Craig said in the forums. “We are working to address these issues as quickly as possible and aim to bring Mei back in our next upcoming patch which is set for November 15. Thank you for your understanding and patience.”

This isn’t the first time the developers have removed a hero from the game, though. Previously, we have seen Blizzard removing Bastion and Torbjörn from the FPS title after some bugs enabled them to gain an unfair advantage on the battlefield. While these two heroes have now returned two the game, Mei will be missing from Overwatch 2 for the next two weeks.

Overwatch 2 Mei & Kiriko Exploit

The exploit worked by Mei placing her Ice Wall on certain corners of the map as Kiriko teleported to her to glitch inside walls. It has been demonstrated in the clip below:

While Kiriko could see and shoot her enemies from inside the wall, she couldn’t be fired at from outside, making her effectively invisible and invulnerable to the opposing team.

In case you’re an Overwatch 2 player and not a fan of playing against Mei and her freezing kit, now would be a good time to get those ranked games in.
