CSGO: Crowd’s Interference With Plays Still A Problem At LAN Events

BLAST Premier Fall Finals finished earlier today at a packed Royal Arena, in front of thousands of Danish CSGO Fans. Only the second event of the year with a crowd at LAN, it was missed very much during the Online era but it wasn’t all bells and whistles.

The production from BLAST was top notch but the fans left a sour memory for everyone there. This was pointed out by renowned analysts Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields and Chad ‘SPUNJ’ Burchill who was present at the arena itself. They called the fans out for favouring Astralis, helping them when they spammed smokes and making them aware of a flank by asking them to look behind and other chants that could have been helpful. 

The players do wear noise-cancelling headphones at all times but when 8 thousand people start shouting, it is hard to miss the sound. Some TOs do use sound proof booths so as to not let any sound from fans help the players, but it is an expensive investment, not to mention cumbersome to use when you’re having events all over the world.

The fans were also called out in the arena by host Alex ‘Machine’ Richardson when they booed French player ‘shox’ as he was interviewing them. Some fans left the stadium when Astralis werek knocked out, saying they had no reason to stay for the Grand Final and were termed as ‘plastic fans’ by SPUNJ.

NaVi Crowned BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2021 Champions

Natus Vincere added yet another trophy to their cabinet, making it their 6th S-Tier tournament in 2021 and the 3rd Consecutive LAN win after IEM Cologne 2021 and PGL Major Stockholm. They showed us exactly why they’re called the Best in the world as they bested Team Vitality yet again, in a Bo3 Grand Final. They did lose their 20 map Nuke win streak in the process, but it made no matter as they got their hands on the coveted trophy after winning on the decider, Inferno.

This was most likely, the last dance for the Vitality line-up as the org is rumoured to be making changes going into 2022, with coach ‘XTQZZZ’ and ‘shox’ and ‘Kyojin’ set to leave. It is expected that the Danish trio of ‘Dupreeh’, ‘Magisk’ and ‘zonic’ as coach will replace them in January. 

A win here would have been a great send off for the roster but it wasn’t meant to be, despite ‘ZywOo’s best efforts to pull his team through. They fought well on the first map, keeping it relatively close until the end and then absolutely dominated NaVi on Nuke, a map they havent lost in more than 6 months. But the team ran out of steam for Inferno, having already played a Bo3 vs Astralis in a 3 map affair and they crumbled on the deciding map as NaVi clinched the trophy. 

It was the s1mple show on Mirage as he racked up 36 kills on his own, with just 16 deaths and a mammoth 1.91 rating to give his side the 16-12 win.

He was supported well by ‘B1T’ and ‘electronic’ and after a 9-6 half, good T side calling from ‘Boombl4’ saw them up 15-8. But the French still had a few tricks up their sleeve as they won the next 4. It required a ‘Perfecto’ 1v2 to close out the map for NaVi.

Nuke was rather uncharacteristic of NaVi as they could only manage 4 rounds, unable to abuse the rookies on the A bombsite as a team effort from all the players of Vitality helped them get 11 rounds. The T side was even more impressive, considering they were shut down convincingly last time around. This time they only let NaVi have 2 rounds, never letting them take control as they won the game 16-6 with ease.

On Inferno, it was NaVi’s turn to turn the screws and they did it with some aplomb. Starting on the CT side, the CIS side kept it tight all around the map, leaving no gaps for Vitality to exploit and winning rounds with brilliant utility usage alone. They won 12 CT side rounds, with ‘apEX’ and ‘shox’ posting 3 kills combined on their T side. The rest was a formality for NaVi as they won the remaining 4 with ease, winning the game 16-7 thanks to a 1v2 from ‘B1T’. and taking the trophy home.

NAF Extends Contract With Team Liquid Until 2024

Canadian rifler Keith ‘NAF’ Markovic extended his contract with Team Liquid, sending news of his exit down the drain. It was rumored that only Jonathhan ‘EliGE’ Jablonowski would remain on the roster and the rest of Team Liquid would be going their different ways as a rebuild was incoming.

NAF-FLY first teased on Twitter about a contract being signed and fans weren’t sure for whom he had signed. A few hours later, Team Liquid announced that he ‘re-signed for Liquid until 2024’.

NAF has been instrumental in Team Liquid’s success and was part of the roster that won the Intel Grand Slam in 63 days in 2019. He was also the 7th best player of 2019 and 6th best in 2018. He had a rough patch in 2020 and narrowly missed out on a top 20 position, placing #21 in HLTV’s world rankings for 2020. 

It seems NAF will remain part of the roster, but as Jake ‘Stewie2k’ Yip and ‘EliGE’ said previously, changes are coming especially for Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo and ‘Stewie2k’ himself after their exit at PGL Stockholm and calling themselves a ‘dead team’.

It remains to be seen whether Liquid will still sign ‘shox’ and ‘VINI’ as it was rumored earlier or will NAFs decision to renew change things, with IGL ‘nitr0’ returning as well.

WinZO partners with French gaming giant Gameloft

0

India’s one of the largest social gaming platforms, WinZO has partnered with the France-based global gaming giant, Gameloft to help them catalyze their reach and revenue in Indian vernacular markets.

Gameloft is a global market leader in casual gaming and has over 150 massively popular titles, such as Asphalt 9 and other action & racing games, garnering over 1.2 billion downloads worldwide. Understanding the merit in increasing vernacular reach, Gameloft will leverage WinZO’s 65 million+ user base to improve monetization in India.

Gameloft in order to further distribute to the deeper parts of the country will leverage WinZO’s users, based in India’s tier 2 to tier 5 markets, 80% of whom are consuming the games in non-English languages. 

India accounts for 12% of downloads, translating into approx. 150 million users, but accrues only a meager 0.6% of their global revenue share making it a high potential market and an underutilized one. For Gameloft, this is a challenge that WinZO is strategically positioned to help solve and aid.

As a part of this collaboration, WinZO will also be offering its platform’s capabilities such as streaming, gaming formats, and WinZO Store to drive Asphalt 9’s revenue. This serves as an apt opportunity for Gameloft to better monetize the vast engagement coming from the region.  

Apart from hosting over 80 games in 12 vernacular languages and multiple formats, WinZO facilitates more than 2.5 billion micro-transactions per month. The platform also has an in-app marketplace, WinZO Store, that facilitates the sale of in-app currencies at the lowest commissions compared to any conventional app stores such as Google Play Store, Apple Play Store amongst others.

This collaboration will also see WinZO deploy its strong influencer base to increase user awareness and penetration regarding Gameloft’s global titles. Mobilization of this captive regional influencer base will create localized content around these titles, which would potentially garner 1 Billion + impressions. Content-specific to these titles will be live-streamed in 12+ languages with an eventual target to drive sales and run live deals.

Commenting on the new association, Paavan Nanda, the CEO & co-founder of WinZO said, “WinZO is glad to have partnered with yet another world-class publisher Gameloft to help them leverage our strong market presence and its deep understanding. More than 60% of our 65 million+ user base are premium paying users which makes us well-positioned to help big global companies to increase their presence in India’s booming vernacular gaming market.” 

This partnership comes ahead of WinZO’s recent partnership with another France-based casual gaming major- Voodoo to bring two of their most popular titles Crowd City and Dune on WinZO. WinZO is known for its innovative micro-transaction model which is a proven success in developing markets like India where the propensity to spend over gaming is considerably low.

WinZO is working towards the development of the Indian Gaming Ecosystem in the mark of which they recently announced the launch of The Gaming Lab initiative in collaboration with marquee investor Kalaari Capital, asides from its standalone Game Developer Fund-III of $20 million.

VINI To Leave FURIA Going Into 2022

Brazilian Organisation FURIA announced that Vinicius ‘VINI’ Figueiredo will not be a part of their CS:GO Roster going into the 2022 season. According to FURIA coach ‘guerri’, they will add a dedicated AWPer for 2022, and will not rely on IGL Andrei ‘arT’ Piovezan for AWPing duties.

VINI too confirmed this via a twitlonger, saying that he got to know about the decision and was saddened by it, but will continue to play CS:GO Professionally and that he’s currently evaluating his options.

It was rumored that VINI would be joining Team Liquid once they rebuild their roster after the departures of ‘FalleN’ and ‘Stewie2k’. It is currently uncertain who will remain on the Liquid roster, except for ‘EliGE’ who has plans to stay with the org still, especially after the news of nitr0’s potential return. Vitality player shox was also in talks with Liquid.

VINI has been a part of FURIA for more than 4 years and has represented them at 3 Majors – IEM Katowice 2019, StarLadder Berlin 2019 and PGL Stockholm 2021. He enjoyed the most success during the online era where FURIA won EPL S12 NA, DreamHack MAsters Spring and IEM New York 2020, this was of course with Henrique ‘HEN1’ Teles on the roster.

With the removal of VINI, FURIA will have the following roster:

  • Andrei “⁠arT⁠” Piovezan
  • Kaike “⁠KSCERATO⁠” Cerato
  • Yuri “⁠yuurih⁠” Santos
  • André “⁠drop⁠” Abreu
  • Nicholas “⁠guerri⁠” Nogueira (coach)
