Ukrainian CSGO legend Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev is no stranger to being the top fragger in competitive games with occasional 30+ frags on the scoreboard alongside some sick AWP plays. However, fans of the Na’Vi star were quite confused when he failed to perform up to his usual standards during their match in IEM Katowice against ENCE.
This confusion soon turned into all sorts of speculation when the tournament officials began inspecting s1mple’s PC in the middle of the match. Many suspected that s1mple’s PC was sabotaged which led to the 24-year-old underperforming in the game against ENCE. However, the actual explanation seems to be something else.
After s1mple’s seemingly disappointing performance of 12 kills in 20 rounds on Nuke, the tournament officials began inspecting his PC when the speculations began. He later took it to Twitter to clear all the misconceptions that fans may have been possessing regarding the incident.
Turns out, there were multiple technical problems in s1mple’s PC that surfaced themselves towards the start of the game on Nuke. According to him, the computer started “lagging”, which resulted in them losing the map to ENCE.
many unpleasant situations for the whole match, starting from the beginning of the nuke where the computer was lagging, ending with the stupid throwing of rounds, ggwp @ENCE@perfectocsgo carry Facing Brazilians tomorrow once again #navination
It was when he pointed out the issue to the officials when they checked his PC, which was then replaced by a new one before the decider on Overpass.
While s1mple didn’t put up an exceptional performance following the change, his team managed to take down ENCE in the final map to secure the BO3 win against the Finnish org.
G2 esports sailed through to the Semi-Finals of IEM Katowice 2022 after a solid performance versus Virtus.pro. They won the Bo3 in a cool 2-0 fashion to send the CIS side home while they punched a ticket for themselves to the semis to face Natus Vincere. Making his Arena debut for G2 was 16-year-old AWP prodigy Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov, and boy did he deliver. He took the game by the scruff of the neck and single-handedly powered G2 to OT on the first map and closed it out with 45 kills in triple OT, highest on the server to win on Mirage. Ancient was a team effort as VP were dealt with ease by G2.
MAP VETO
G2 removed Overpass
Virtus.pro removed Nuke
G2 picked Mirage
Virtus.pro picked Ancient
G2 removed Vertigo
Virtus.pro removed Dust2
Inferno was left over
MAP 1: Mirage (G2 25-22 Virtus.pro)
MAP 2: Ancient (G2 16-5 Virtus.pro)
We kicked off the first game at the Spodek in 2 years on Mirage, the preferred pick of G2. With the T side start and a pistol win, G2 were up 3-0 and m0NESY was already fired up.
Once the guns came out, it was Virtus.pro’s turn. Jame on the AWP, supported well by Qikert and FL1T on catwalk and connector, took full control of mid, not letting G2 have any breathing space. Once that was dealt with they always had a flank ready to take care of any clutches G2 might look to pull off. They took a flurry of rounds and were up 8-4 before G2 brought two back. The half ended 9-6.
VP started off on the wrong foot in the pistol yet again and with m0NESY out fragging everyone on the server, G2 took a 10-9 lead. It looked like the AWP prodigy felt right at home in front of the crowd as they cheered him on.
As the money started to flow, VP turned the gears as they exploited the extremities, hoping to catch Aleksib and JACKZ off guard on their respective sites. They went up 13-10 and G2 looked battered.
Quiet until now, huNter- showed up in spades to complement m0NESY who had become a human highlight reel at this point.
G2 took 4 on the trot and were up 14-13 and looked set for a win. VP came back with a partial buy win and then lost the next to be down 15-14. One final push from the CIS squad sent them through to OT and a brawling affair ensued once again.
Nothing could separate the two teams as FL1T and Jame went toe to toe with m0NESY and huNter- as the score read 18-18, followed by 21-21. In triple OT, G2 had a flawless CT side, courtesy of m0NESY yet again as they needed 1 T round.
A magnificent 2v5 from Aleksib and m0NESY on the B bombsite helped push them through to the final hurdle and take the map 25-22 with m0NESY popping off on 45 kills and a 1.39 rating.
On Ancient, G2 had the favored CT side start and they carried the moment from Mirage into the second map. A 7-0 lead to start was good but G2 wanted more and went up 10-1 before VP had a chance to get 2 on the trot. The half ended 12-3 in G2’s favor with a magnificent display of skill and reads from IGL Aleksib.
G2 lost the pistol but won the force buy on the T side, followed by another loss to VP’s force buy. Needing just 2 more, G2 forced again and made quick work of VP as the series ended 2-0, this time with JACKZ and huNter- popping off to take the map.
G2 will face long-time rivals NaVi, this time in the semi-finals instead of the Grand Finals. They will play for a spot in the Grand Finals tomorrow at 20:00 IST.
Virtus.pro will go home in 5-6th position after an impressive performance throughout the event.
Residents of Ukraine woke up to the sound of gunfire and bombings on the dawn of February 24th as Russian President Vladimir Putin announced war on their western neighbours.
As the invasion continued, people throughout the world expressed their discontent and anger with Russia for what is being considered as the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War Two.
Following the incident, some CSGO fans even started raising petitions to ban the Russian community from the game. Posts were also seen on social media forums claiming that Valve CEO Gabe Newell would ban Russia from CSGO and Dota 2, two of the biggest titles by the company. This leads us to question the veracity of such news.
Gaben Banning Russia From CSGO, Dota 2?
Upon closer inspection, it’s obvious that the news of Valve banning Russia from CSGO and Dota 2 is not only absurd, but outright false information. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like Valve will be banning Russia from these games anytime soon.
The Reddit post linked above has since been deleted while the petition has also been removed shortly afterward. Russians are still free to play CSGO or Dota 2 as Valve hasn’t banned the country from any of their titles.
As Ukrainian CSGO legend s1mple said at the IEM Katowice 2022 earlier today, “esports is out of politics.” Fans shouldn’t let decisions made by governments hinder or circumvent the existent integrity in the world of esports.
FaZe Clan once again turn their heads to Justin “jks” Savage, this time to stand in for Håvard “rain” Nygaard who still needs to stay in isolation following his COVID-19 test coming out positive. rain today on his Twitter handle announced that he would miss the IEM Katowice 2022 Playoffs, to be played out at the Spodek Arena starting today as he still remains in Isolation, testing positive for the COVID-19 virus. Earlier in the group stage, he had joined his team in the officials from his hotel room as he then had to wait on a PCR test confirmation after developing symptoms for the Virus.
FaZe Clan found themselves in a similar fiasco when Robin “ropz” Kool had too tested positive just before the Play-in stage of IEM Katowice 2022 which put them in a position to call jks for backup who indeed successfully helped them to get through to the group stage of the main event with an HLTV rating of 1.03 across the three matches played. With the playoffs being held on LAN in front of a live crowd at the Spodek, players would need to show up in person which would sabotage FaZe’s plans, fielding rain in their Quarter-Final clash against Gambit Esports.
Their match against Gambit would determine their fate in the tournament, should FaZe Clan win over the CIS giants, they would lock horns with Heroic in the Semi-finals.
Brazilian teams who were bootcamping in Warsow, Poland have set themselves on a course back to their homes ahead of the PGL Antwerp Major 2022 qualifiers.
As reported by Globo Esporte, post the Russian attacks on Ukraine, Imperial and MIBR decided to leave their current bootcamps in Warsaw, Poland, and were en route back to Brazil. These two teams were in the Polish Capital, setting up camp and preparing for upcoming PGL Major Antwerp 2022 South American Open Qualifiers in a bid to further book themselves berths at the Regional RMR event of the same tournament.
A total of four days were cut short from their original itinerary in Poland as both the Brazilian sides brought to their concern, the ongoing political tensions pondering upon the CIS region.
Following Imperial and MIBR are GODSENT who have also booked themselves a flight back to their region following the same CIS turmoil and were also setting up shop for the South American Qualifiers in the capital of Poland. The South American Open Qualifiers will start on March 5 with 4 spots up for grabs towards the regional RMR event followed by a second Open qualifier which will round off the list for South America with a total of 8 spots at the RMR.
Initially, MIBR were a part of the IEM Katowice 2022 but were eliminated from the Play-in stage of the same which indeed made them extend their stay in Poland. With their departure from Warsaw, they also pulled out from the Pinnacle Winter Series #2 which is already underway.
The Esports community came together in support of Ukraine after the country was invaded by the Russian army earlier on February 24. Organizations and players alike took to their social media handles, Twitter and Instagram in particular to show that they stand in solidarity with Ukraine in these troubled times.
Ukrainian legend Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev has delivered an emotional message to CSGO fans at the opening ceremony of IEM Katowice 2022, and it serves as a much-needed message of peace amid these troubling times as Russia continues their invasion on their western neighbour.
On February 25th, the Spodek Arena witnessed the Natus Vincere star taking the microphone from host Oliver James Borg ‘OJ Borg’ D’Anasta to send a message in front of the live audience present in the venue.
“All our players, all players from different teams, and all of you have nothing to do with government decisions,” the 24-year-old said. “My whole career I played with Ukranian players, I played with Russian players, and I played with American players. And all of them: great guys.”
S1mple also reminded the audience that the esports community wants nothing but peace for the world. “All of us want peace- for Ukraine, and for the whole world. All of us are scared, and all of us need to show an example at this tournament. We need to stay together as a unit, with our fans, with our friends, and with everybody watching. And we all need to stay humans first.”
Previously, we’ve seen s1mple expressing concern for his friends and family in Ukraine through a Tweet posted on February 24th.
“I cry thinking about my family and friends in Kyiv,” he said. “I’m ‘lucky’ that I’m not at home, but you can’t even imagine how much I want to be there.”
I cry thinking about my family and friends in Kyiv I’m "lucky" that I’m not at home, but you can’t even imagine how much I want to be there Tomorrow I want to think about IEM Katowice and only We don't need regrets, We need support, thank you everyone who cares #navination

Valorant is becoming an indispensable part of the industry with its gameplay and Esports system every day. We can say that its innovative ideas aiming to bring different communities together by diversifying the Esport ecosystem takes Valorant to the next level.
The more the Valorant professional arena evolves, the more players are attracted to Valorant bets which in turn will grow Valorant esports. That’s why the team continues to work at full speed to satisfy the players in every aspect.
The competitive environment created with the balanced structure and tournament system in the game manages to attract the attention of millions of people to Valorant. In today’s article, we will be taking a look at what might change in Valorant’s competitive environment in 2022.
If there are still those among us who do not know what Valorant is, we would like to say that they missed a lot. Don’t be alarmed though, in today’s article, we’ve compiled everything you want to know about Valorant’s competitive environment in 2022. Let’s take a detailed look at our content without wasting much time.
What Awaits Us at Valorant in 2022
Daniel Ringland spoke about innovative approaches to increase competition in the game. Speaking to NME, Ringland emphasized that in 2022, significant changes will be made in Valorant’s competitive structure that will affect most people.
Part of these upcoming changes is the Valorant Regional Circuit (VRC) and Valorant Regional Leagues (VRL). Ringland continued his ideas on this subject as follows;
“Within those circuits are many different amateur events that cater to many different sorts of people – social people, players that just want to be professional, they can all find something cool to participate in. They exist on a regional level – we have one in France, one in Turkey, one in MENA et cetera. A layer up from that we have the VRLs, the Valorant Regional Leagues. These aim to be in the top tier of national competition. We then have an event toward the end of the year where the top team from each of the eight VRLs will compete to figure out who is the best VRL team in EMEA.”
Listening to what Ringland has to say about the esports aspect of the game gives us positive expectations about what Valorant can become.
Game Changers
After emphasizing the importance of changes in the national leagues, Ringland went on to say that the Game Changers event will turn into “a global event that will happen toward the end of this year”.
According to Ringland, Riot Games has designated Valorant’s ecosystem as “barrier-free”. That means you can find a place for yourself in Valorant no matter what your gaming skill is. Adding to his words, Ringland says:
“What we mean by barrier free is that there’s an entry point for everybody that works for their level – and that’s one of the big advantages we see of being able to design that ecosystem from top to bottom, we can cater to everybody.”
“If you’re a pro player that’s been participating in Counter-Strike and you’re already really good, there’s an entry point. If you’re somebody that dreams of being pro and you’re well and truly on your way, perhaps you’re good enough to get into a VRL team, there’s an entry point for you. Then if you’re at the very beginning of that journey, there’s an entry point for you in the VRCs.”
The world of Valorant Esports is still very new as you know. Valorant was released in 2020 by Riot Games. It has reached millions of players in a short time, especially due to Valorant’s hype from League of Legends. At the same time, due to its competitive nature, Valorant bets came to the fore in this process.
Valorant Development Process and Future Outlook
Additionally, Ringland said the creators of Valorant were inspired by looking at other Esports titles to create their own playstyle. As the head of Valorant EMEA Esports, he talked about the need for many innovations in each region.
Ringland said that when we came together to design Valorant, they spent a lot of time not only looking at what we did, but also what other Esports was doing.
“I’d like to think that we haven’t just carbon copied what Riot’s done before, and that we have been able to incorporate some elements from other esports, particularly shooters, that are popular there and think will resonate with our audiences…We like to think that we’ve cherry picked and built what’s best for our fans.”
As we enter 2022, Ringland talks about exciting changes. This will be completely beyond a configuration. And he added that “Valorant Esports is a big priority for Riot.”
Finally, Ringland continued his words as follows;
“We feel that we’re at the very beginning of this journey even though this will be our second year. We feel really good about the foundations we’ve laid particularly coming into 2022 with the VRCs and VRLs. Really, now we just need to be focusing on growing all of those, continuing to listen to our fans, understand them, and what they want. Our focus will be on growing the foundations of what we have built together with our fans.”
