Report: Complexity to sign Extra Salt trio, Grim and Junior to round out the roster

As reported earlier by TalkEsport and Esport fire, Complexity were poised to sign the quintet of Copenhagen Flames but the deal seems to have been called off between the two parties as the Dallas based organization now plans to sign the Extra Salt trio comprising Johnny “⁠JT⁠” Theodosiou, Ricky “⁠floppy⁠” Kemery and Justin “⁠FaNg⁠” Coakley alongside ex-Triumph duo, Michael “⁠Grim⁠” Wince and Paytyn “⁠junior⁠” Johnson

The current Extra Salt roster would totally be on a Cloud 9 as they have been linked to Complexity Gaming for a transfer with the JT led side expected to start off their 2022 Pro season under a new banner, as suggested by HLTV.org. Complexity might love to make some changes by adding Grim and junior from Team Liquid and FURIA Esports respectively to the active roster given the fact that the team’s star awper Josh “⁠oSee⁠” Ohm expected to join Liquid and Edgar “⁠MarKE⁠” Maldonado to be placed on the bench. 

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 Complexity to consider signing the Extra Salt roster going into the 2022 pro season. 

It is still unclear whether Complexity would sign either of the sides, be it the Danes or the North Americans but the latter might have already entered into advanced negotiations as per the reports which have surfaced. Extra Salt have undoubtedly been stupendous through 2021, most notably grabbing a berth at the forthcoming ESL Pro League Season 15 through the conference tournament organized by the same. 

If this deal goes through and should oSee and MarKE leave the team, Complexity will look like:

  • Johnny “⁠JT⁠” Theodosiou
  • Justin “⁠FaNg⁠” Coakley
  • Ricky “⁠floppy⁠” Kemery
  • Paytyn “⁠junior⁠” Johnson
  • Michael “⁠Grim⁠” Wince
  • Tiaan “⁠T.c⁠” Coertzen (Head coach)

Team Liquid sign shox

Team Liquid on Twitter have announced the addition of Richard “shox” Papillon to their active CS:GO division, just a day after the North American side signed Josh “oSee” Ohm to their roster as their primary sniper.

After being earlier reported by TalkEsport and 1pv.fr, Team Liquid have brought aboard Shox from Team Vitality whom the French team parted ways with, a week ago. shox had joined Team Vitality back in September 2019 from G2 Esports who in quick succession steered the team to the championship at the EPICENTER 2019 over Mousesports although the French side were unable to carry forward their momentum into 2020 with just a win in the bag at the IEM XV Beijing 2020 : Europe, which came after a year since their run at the EPICENTER.

This move was earlier rumoured as a part of the French overhaul where Team Vitality were reportedly exploring options to replace shox, Jayson “⁠Kyojin⁠” Nguyen Van, and Rémy “⁠XTQZZZ⁠” Quoniam after the team’s failure at the PGL Stockholm Major 2021 which indeed forced them back to the drawing board. Although Team Vitality seemed rejuvenated at the recent events, winning the IEM Winter 2021 trophy and ending as runner-ups twice against CIS heavyweights and Major winners Natus Vincere at the BLAST Premier Final Fall and the World Final.

shox is the fourth player to have been unveiled by Liquid after they earlier signed oSee from Extra Salt in a bid to replace the benched trio of Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo, Michael “Grim” Wince and Jake “Stewie2k” Yip. Nick “⁠nitr0⁠” Cannella has also joined the shenanigans and is expected to feature back in Team Liquid’s next iteration for the 2022 pro season.

With the addition of shox, Team Liquid are now :

  • Jonathan “⁠EliGE⁠” Jablonowski
  • Keith “⁠NAF⁠” Markovic
  • Josh “⁠oSee⁠” Ohm
  • Richard “⁠shox⁠” Papillon
  • Eric “⁠adreN⁠” Hoag (Head coach)
  • Jake “⁠Stewie2K⁠” Yip (Benched)
  • Michael “⁠Grim⁠” Wince (Benched)
  • Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo (Benched)

Valorant Prime Game Reward For December 2020 Revealed: How to get

0

If you’ve been playing Valorant for a while, you’re probably aware of the plethora of weapon cosmetics available to purchase in the game. These cosmetics include gun skins, gun buddies, and other stuff like player cards that make your Valorant account stand out from the crowd.

However, these can often come at a hefty pocket pinch that many players may not be comfortable with spending on a game. Luckily, Riot Games has also provided players with means of obtaining exclusive cosmetics for free through Prime Gaming drops. 

Since September 2020, Riot has introduced a new way for players to earn weapon skins and other rewards in Valorant through Prime Gaming. Players with an active Amazon Prime subscription can redeem exclusive and limited edition cosmetics for the competitive shooter which can be used in-game.

It’s important to note that these free rewards are entirely for cosmetic purposes and provide the players with no additional competitive advantage. So, you don’t have to stress it out if you’re not willing to spend real money on the game.

Riot Games has just revealed the Valorant Prime Gaming rewards for December 2021, and Prime Gaming members can now redeem them for free.

The newly introduced reward is ‘The Bruno Coin Spray’ that can be redeemed by Prime Gaming subscribers.

HOW TO GET AMAZON PRIME GAMING VALORANT LOOT

To claim the Prime Gaming loot in Valorant, players will need an active Amazon Prime subscription. In case you don’t wanna buy a subscription, you can get your first month completely free. Once done, you can visit Prime Gaming’s Valorant loot page to link your Valorant and Amazon accounts to unlock exclusive Prime Gaming drops.

That’s it, now you can redeem your monthly free rewards as long as you have the subscription active.

The loot will refresh after every month, and Riot has confirmed that these exclusive rewards may not be available anytime soon. Neither can you redeem the last month’s reward with your current subscription? So, make sure to redeem them before they’re gone.

CSGO: dupreeh, Magisk and zonic Leave Astralis

Astralis confirmed the official departure of three of their members – Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen, Emil ‘Magisk’ Reif and coach Danny ‘zonic’ Sørensen. The trio’s contracts were set to expire in January but they departed the org ahead of time.

They are expected to join Team Vitality, as reported by 1pv.fr back in November, to replace Richard ‘shox’ Papillon, Jayson “⁠Kyojin⁠” Nguyen Van, and head coach Rémy “⁠XTQZZZ⁠” Quoniam. Vitality already confirmed the release of the three after their exit from BLAST Premier World Finals.

The journey for dupreeh, Magisk and zonic comes to an end with Astralis, after spending 5 years with the organisation (3 for Magisk) and winning every possible trophy they could, establishing the most dominant era by a team ever in CS:GO. dupreeh and zonic won 4 Majors with Astralis, the most by any team or player, with 3 of them coming consecutively. Their first, ELEAGUE Major Atlanta was won in 2017 with ‘kjaerbye’ still on the team.

After signing Magisk in 2018, Astralis went on a run that will be hard to replicate for many years to come. Together, they won the FACEIT London Major 2018, IEM Katowice Major 2019and StarLadder Berlin Major in 2019, alongside a  whole cabinet of trophies ranging from ESL Pro League to BLAST Pro Series and of course, becoming the first team to ever win the Intel Grand Slam. 

Things looked bleak for Astralis in 2020, especially when Lukas ‘gla1ve’ Rossander and Andreas ‘xyp9x’ Højsleth were on leave. But they ended the year on a high, winning ESL Pro League S12, DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 and IEM Global Challenge to once again become the #1 team of the year.

Zonic CSGO

Sadly the form wouldn’t be replicated going into 2021. The team only had 1 Grand Finals appearance, BLAST Premier Global Finals 2020 and zero trophies. It was then that AWPer Nicolai ‘dev1ce’ Reedtz decided to step down and join NiP. things didn’t get any better throughout the rest of the year as Astralis looked weak versus the world’s best. The team couldn’t make it to the playoffs of the Major either, and that was it for the core. 

Shortly after Benjamin ‘blameF’ Bremer and Chrisitan ‘k0nfig’ Wiencke were signed, alongside coach ‘ave’, which saw ‘dupreeh’, ‘Magisk’ and ‘zonic’ on the bench as they decided not to renew their contracts. 

Astralis CSGO Roster:

  • Lukas “⁠gla1ve⁠” Rossander
  • Andreas “⁠Xyp9x⁠” Højsleth
  • Philip “⁠Lucky⁠” Ewald
  • Benjamin “⁠blameF⁠” Bremer
  • Kristian “⁠k0nfig⁠” Wienecke
  • Alexander “⁠ave⁠” Holdt (coach)
  • Lucas “⁠Bubzkji⁠” Andersen (benched)

0

As Genshin Impact 2.3 is coming to its end, more and more fans of the open-world RPG title across the world are growing eager to know more about the Genshin Impact 2.4 update and what it’ll bring to the title. Luckily, it seems like some of the upcoming content has already been leaked on the internet and fans can check out the contents of the new Shenhe and Xiao banners.

The Xiao banner will see a rerun as a part of the Character Event Wish-2 system. The new character, Shenhe, will also have her own banner happening simultaneously, and they will feature the same 4-Star character drop rate boost.

Genshin Impact Shenhe & Xiao Banners 4-Star Characters & Weapon Banners

According to a recent Tweet by Lumie, the 4-Star characters on the Xiao and Shenhe banners  with a drop rate boost will be Ningguang and Chongyun.

The weapon banners are set to include the Calamity Queller and Primordial Jade Winged Spear as 5-star weapons.

However, none of these leaks have been officially confirmed by miHoYo as of yet, so take them with a grain of salt.

The highly anticipated Genshin Impact 2.4 update is scheduled to hit the live servers on 5th January, 2022.

I am Esports..

British esports journalist Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields went on a Twitter rant, reacting to the people who criticized him for not being supportive of ESL’s circuit for women as part of their GGFORALL initiative going into 2022.

It started with caster Auguste ‘Semmler’ Massonnat calling the circuit discriminatory towards MEN and asking when a tournament solely for men would be started in his tweet. He gave the reasoning for this tweet saying no one stopped women from competing in these tournaments and that creating one solely for women was discriminatory and toxic. 

He was called out by women as well as men working in the industry and Thorin came in support of Semmler, saying his opinions shouldn’t be dismissed so soon as he has been a veteran of the industry having worked as a caster across multiple esports for many many years, the summary of the drama can be read here.

Twitter Twitter Rant

Since then Thorin has been on a blocking spree, blocking people who disagree with him after pointing out flaws in their criticism of him, and mocking them with the ‘#Fanlogic’ hashtag. He went as far as to saying ‘I AM ESPORTS’, a nod to his years as a journalist across different esports such as CSGO and League of Legends, earning a rapport for always being truthful and never being afraid of speaking his mind. He was also appreciated by journalist DeKay in his farewell post.

The community wasn’t too far behind in trolling him though and even edited the Wikipedia page of Esports so it included ‘also known as Thorin’.

Even pokimane didn’t shy away from taking digs at him with her tweet.

There has been a lot of criticism for Thorin and Semmler both, as the drama has taken a lot longer to quell than expected. But most of the esports community is supportive of the Circuit for women by ESL and the GGFORALL initiative as a whole. The circuit allows women to compete in CSGO with a more equal standing with men, and has been welcomed by the community and especially by the women in esports.

BGMI releases new video featuring Anup Soni

Krafton, the developers of Battlegrounds Mobile India has released a new video featuring Anup Soni titled “Goodbye, Cheaters”. Anup Soni is an Indian actor and anchor who is well known for hosting Crime Patrol an Indian Hindi crime anthology series telecasted on Sony Entertainment Television India. The video was majorly released to announce the launch of the latest device ban feature.

The anchor started with the problem faced by various players due to an increase in the number of cheaters and hackers who have ruined the feel of the game. The video is then followed by the spoof of the C.I.D. series. C.I.D. is one of India’s most famous series where ACP Pradyuman, Daya, and Abhijeet are an elite trio of officers who work for the CID. They seek the help of professional forensic expert Dr. Salunkhe and solve various criminal cases.

We could see them talking about the issues faced by the players and what possible way they can use to stop the hackers. Then the ACP of the Cheater Investigation department asks Dr. Falunkhe and Jaya to check on the hackers. The complete video shows how Jaya bans the players while competing in the battlegrounds in a comic way.

With this video, BGMI has announced the launch of a device ban feature where cheaters and hackers will directly get banned from their devices. The device will not support the game again and the player had to get a new device to play the game. This new feature will help in reducing the cheaters with huge numbers but hack-free gameplay is still a dream for many players.
