As earlier reported by TalkEsport, Complexity have signed the quartet of Extra Salt, Johnny “JT” Theodosiou, Ricky “floppy” Kemery and Justin “FaNg” Coakley, head coach Tiaan “T.c” Coertzen alongside ex-Liquid/FURIA duo, Michael “Grim” Wince and Paytyn “junior” Johnson.
After an unsuccessful run at the RMR event of the PGL CS:GO Stockholm Major, Complexity found themselves in a state of trance after bidding farewell to their “Juggernaut” dubbed project from 2019 only to revamp their choices going ahead.
The current Extra Salt roster would totally be on top of a Cloud 9 as they kick off their 2022 Pro season under a new banner. Initially, Complexity had turned their heads to Copenhagen Flames following the latter’s extraordinary form at the PGL Stockholm Major which indeed made them the heavy favorites to round out the said acquisition. Although both the teams seem to have cut the ties which indeed made the Dallas based organization to consider signing JT and his men going into the new season.
As read above, Extra Salt had traded off oSee to Team Liquid which made the way for junior on the sniper duties while Edgar “MarKe” Maldonado was let to evaluate his options going further allowing Grim to take on the reins that of a rifler on the team. With Complexity having already partnered up with BLAST and being a member of the Louvre agreement, this current iteration of young guns would indeed get an extraordinary exposure while playing amongst the elites. Complexity will debut with its new lineup at the Funspark ULTI against CIS heavyweights Gambit around 19:30 PM on Wednesday.

Fortnite is an online battle royale game developed by Epic Games. The game is available on almost all platforms. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1’s first big update 19.10 shows how persistent Epic is when it comes to updating a game.
Here’s the full patch notes of Fortnite Update 19.10:
Fortnite Update 19.10 Patch Notes
THE KLOMBOS COME FORTH
It’s been long theorized there was a large creature on the Island, but alas, it hasn’t been found. Until now! And it’s actually no “it”— there’s more than one stomping around the Island. Don’t worry, though. Despite their enormous size, these creatures called Klombos are completely peaceful. (Unless provoked, but still.)
How can these gentle giants help you in battle? Ascend their tails to get to the blowhole on their heads, then get launched a great distance upwards to escape a tricky situation. They’ve also been known to sneeze out items after snacking a bit!
KLOMBERRY IRRESISTIBLE
The Klombo diet is very diverse — they’ll eat just about anything you throw in front of them. But what they love most is Klomberries! Pick these fruits from small bushes around the Island, then throw one near a Klombo to lead it your way. Remember: after Klombos snack a bit, items spout out! Have you accidentally (or purposefully…) provoked a Klombo? Calm its rage with none other than a Klomberry.
Fun fact: Klomberries also have nutritional value for non-Klombos. Consume one for a bump in Effective Health!
THE RETURN OF TILTED TOWERS
The Island’s thaw goes on, and Tilted Towers has emerged from underneath the snow and ice! Go out on the town with this classic POI from Fortnite’s past: build to the top of its iconic clock tower, bust into apartments, stop by restaurants, battle it out in the underground parking garage, storm No Sweat Insurance’s office, and more on your urban excursion.
GRENADE LAUNCHER UNVAULTED AND ADJUSTED
The Grenade Launcher is back and we’ve made some tweaks to its responsiveness! Projectiles now explode after their first bounce and fire more directly at your target.
You can find Grenade Launchers from Rare Chests, Supply Drops, and… sharks.
YOU DROPPED THIS 👑
With v19.10, the Crowning Achievement Emote now displays more than 99 Crowned Victory Royales. If you had reached more than 99 before v19.10 (super impressive), your crowns were still being tracked and are now updated accordingly!

Valve has introduced a new update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and it brings experimental Vulkan support to the shooter alongside other changes. The new CSGO update isn’t a big one, but it introduces a number of small changes to the title including general changes, Steam Input updates and UI changes.
Release Notes for today are up focusing on general updates, Steam Input, UI work, and Linux: https://t.co/2kNhVmrEvj
Users can test out the new experimental Vulkan support for CSGO by adding -vulkan to their command line. To do so, simply launch steam, right-click on CSGO in your library, go to ‘properties’ and add ‘-vulkan’ in the launch options.
Here are the patch notes of the new CSGO update as mentioned in the official blog post by Valve:
[GENERAL] – Fixed Hammer crash on startup when not logged into Steam. – Fixed input delay after closing radial menu.
[STEAM INPUT] – FlickStick mode is now enabled in Options > Controller, as opposed to the SteamInput Configurator. Bind your Right Stick (or preferred aiming stick) to “Joystick Camera” in the configurator. – Fixed SteamInput ActionSet being set to “MenuControls” when re-focusing on window. – Refinements to FlickStick behavior.
[UI] – Tooltips to help clarify console controller settings. – Various fixes to sliders.

100 Thieves announced via Twitter that they have completed the signing of Hunter ‘BabyJ’ Schline from FaZe Clan’s Valorant roster, while the final slot will be taken up by IGL Adam ‘ec1s’ Eccles who has previously represented Team Liquid and Ninjas in Pyjamas previously. ‘ec1s’ was part of the fnatic Academy roster in CSGO, back in 2018, but decided to switch games when Valorant came out and has been plying his trade in the game ever since, albeit with limited success.
The core of the team will remain the same as Spencer ‘Hiko’ Martin, Ethan ‘Ethan’ Arnold and Peter ‘Asuna’ Mazuryk will be part of the roster for VCT 2022. The roster rebuild was inbound for 100 Thieves’ Valorant as Joshua ‘steel’ Nissan was benched following some clashes in-game with his teammates reportedly. In his place Aaron ‘b0i’ Thao was promoted to the main roster while Nick ‘nitr0’ Cannella took over in-game leading duties.
As for 100 Thieves, they had been trialling different players such as ‘b0i’ and ‘seven’ before releasing them all and signing FaZe Clan’s ‘BabyJ’ and ex-NiP Valorant member ‘ec1s’.
After winning First Strike NA back in 2020, silverware has been hard to come by for 100 Thieves as they couldn’t qualify for Valorant Champions at the end of the year either. They have been out of action since November 2021 and will look to bounce back for VCT 2022.
About the signings, Ethan said “Excited to start the new season with ec1s and BabyJ! They both have plenty of talent and I can’t wait to get to work.” via twitter. While ‘Hiko’ added, “We have finalized our roster! So excited to get to work and play matches again! Welcome BabyJ and ec1s.”
Tyler Blevins aka Ninja has threatened to sue Pokimane after she accused the former of helping Jidion evade a ban after he “hate raided” her.
Jidion hate raided Pokimane where his viewers flooded her chat and spammed “L+Ratio” to pester her. The “hate raid” ended up in Jidion getting banned for 14 days which was later converted into a permanent ban.
Pokimane in her stream shared some harsh opinions about Ninja, where she called him out for casually referring to female streamers as “bitches” and tried using his Twitch connections to help Jidion evade a ban after the latter harassed Pokimane.
Pokimane has called out Ninja for his actions during the Jidion drama and him attempting to help Jidion "evade a ban for harassing her" pic.twitter.com/COsMgA8OXM
“I wonder if Ninja would have said “bitches” if it was a large male streamer who was raided.” questioned Pokimane.
Even though Ninja did refer to female streamers in general as “ratio bitches”, but what truly puzzled Pokimane was that he was attempting to help Jidion evade a ban.
“We are considering everything defamation of character at this point,” “You are spewing lies to tens of thousands of people.” said Jessica Blevins.
Following the drama, Pokimane conceded that Ninja may have pretended to text given she was no way to prove otherwise.
The relationship between Pokimane and Ninja is hanging on a cliff as of now with more twists and turns expected in the coming days if legal teams get involved.
In a shocking turn of events, GodLike Esports will be representing India at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 even after ranking fourth at BGIS 2021. This comes after the top three teams fail to produce the documents necessary for travelling abroad to play in the PMGC 2021 finals.
Battlegrounds Mobile India was the biggest BGMI tournament in India till date and with a large sum of money at stake, teams like Skylightz, Team XO, TSM and GodLike were in a close battle at the final stage.
These four teams were fighting toe-to-toe and the winner was uncertain till the very last match of BGIS grand finals. Skylightz Gaming performed incredibly well to win the tournament and walked away with ₹50,00,000 and the seeding slot for PMGC 2021 grand finals but things turned out to be quite different in the end. TSM and Team XO were the runner ups with GodLike ranking fourth.
India had received the invitational slot at PMGC finals and the winners of BGIS 2021 were supposed to represent the country at international stage. A day after BGIS 2021 concluded, it was revealed that GodLike esports would be getting the slot because top three teams could not provide the necessary documents in time.
It was necessary for all the winning players to have a passport with at least six month validity. Furthermore, players should have been fully vaccinated and tested negative before travelling abroad for grand finals. If these conditions were not satisfied, the slot would be transferred to the next team in overall scoreboard.
Due to this, Team XO and TSM were subsequently given a chance to provide these documents but they were lacking some of the necessary ones. Team GodLike has fulfilled everything and hence, they will be travelling abroad to represent India at the PMGC 2021 Grand Finals.
PUBG Mobile Esports is hosting their biggest event till date with a multimillion dollar prize pool. PUBG Mobile Global Championship is the pinnacle of PUBGM esports and top teams from around the world will be fighting for three days to win the biggest share of $3.5 million prize pool.
PMGC 2021 was initially divided into two phases due to the prevalent pandemic conditions. The league stages ran for almost a month and then, league finals for eastern and western regions were hosted seperately.
Top nine teams from East Finals and Top six teams from West Finals have qualified for the grand finals and the last slot was reserved for Indian contenders that will win BGIS 2021. Even though Skylightz Gaming won the tournament, GodLike Esports will represent India at the grand finals due to some last minute changes which led to this transfer.
Kaos Next Ruya ranked first at the western finals and Damwon Gaming reigned supreme in the eastern region. The grand finals will start from 21st January and here are the teams that will be competing at PMGC 2021.
The stakes are very high at PMGC grand finals as the winner will walk away with a humongous amount of $1.5 million. Catch the live action on PUBG Mobile Esports YouTube channel.
