Master Chef meta might be ending says Hasan

Master Chef is a reality cooking show that is watched by millions around the globe which has recently been at the center of Twitch meta and it might be on its way to its demise after DMCA strikes started cracked on streamers.

A large part of Twitch’s reaction community has been hopping on the Master Chef bandwagon given its pulling a ridiculous amount of viewers at the risk of a DMCA strike. Sadly, one of the frontrunners of this meta, Hasan has been haded a DMCA notice, which translates to the fact that he won’t be able to stream it here on out.

“Okay, it’s over. Yeah, Master Chef is over,” “Master Chef as a meta is completely over. That’s it, it’s done.” “I’m sorry boys. It’s fuck bollocks,” “but unfortunately Master Chef will no longer be watched on this stream or on other streams as well. There you go. Controversy ended.” said Hasan.

Not just Hasan, the entire reaction community hopped onto the Master Chef bandwagon as soon as they saw what it was capable of even though the risk of a DMCA strike loomed over their heads.

Hasan’s Tweet is a warning for all other streamers doing the same as sooner or later, their streams and VODs are going to infringe over Master Chef’s original content and a DMCA strike would be inevitable.

How to get the Fyra skin in Fortnite

The rare opportunity to grab the barbarian Fyra skin is around in Fortnite and no better time to prepare it than now, here’s how to do it.

Having released in 2019, there weren’t many opporutnities for players to pick it up, making it one of the most coveted skins in the game, as well as a rare one. Since its debut two years ago, it was avaiable on a few occasions when a lot of players missed out on the chance to get it in their collection.

The skin can only be found in store, where, if you have enough V bucks, you can grab it. Taking into account the treand of its appearence, the skin can be found once a year in the store and unless you have sufficent V-Bucks, there is not way that you will be able to get it.

The skin will likely be set around 2400 V-Bucks so make sure the aforementioned amount is always there in your account incase the skin comes around for another season in 2022, likely in the middle of the year.

In its last appearance in September 2021, Fyra’s dedicated bundle known as the Derponce’s Locker, included four items in total: the Fyra Skin (Epic), the Tri-Star Pickaxe (Rare), the Sky Ray Glider (Epic), and the Accolades Emote (Rare).

Madhya Pradesh To Pass ‘Online Games Act’: Narottam Mishra

A report delineates that an 11-year-old boy killed himself in Bhopal on Wednesday. Allegedly, the boy was addicted to the online battle royale game Free Fire developed by Garena. While such self-destruction cases are on the horizon among the kids, the Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra has announced that the MP government is going to introduce Online Games Act to regulate all online games.

To ban dangerous online games for children like ‘Free Fire’, the state government is soon going to bring Online Games Act. The draft of the new law is almost ready and will be materialised soon.

Narottam Mishra, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister

According to the parents, Suryansh was a fifth-standard student who was heavily addicted to Free Fire. They also reported that Suryansh was watching a movie with his cousin. Later his cousin left the room and he was found hanging on a rope. Even though he was immediately admitted to a hospital, he was proclaimed dead.

However, this is not the first case. Last year Madhya Pradesh government filed an FIR under Section 305 of IPC against the Free Fire developers as a 13-year-old boy committed suicide in Chhatarpur. Inside his suicide note, he wrote that he lost around INR 40,000 in Free Fire.

Skyesports YouTube Account Compromised

Skyesports YouTube Account Compromised

One of Asia’s prominent esports organizers Skyesports, had their YouTube account compromised. The Skyesports channel, which currently is unavailable, has over 500,000 subscribers.

The account credentials, specifically the username was changed to ‘Etherum Foundation,’ a very common new generation YouTube scam that targets high retention accounts.

YouTube Is Simply Ignoring These Hacks

Although this kind of hacking is not new under this group name, Google is yet to explain the exploit. The weird part about this hack is that it’s nothing new. There are dozens of accounts on YouTube lying with Etherum Foundation username, most of them compromised.

Mostly, the way these hack works are via rudimentary social engineering, i.e. tricking a user into giving their personal and confidential details. Perhaps, it’s not clear what was particularly triggered in this case.

At the time of publishing this story, I personally spotted at least 11 live streams under names such as ‘Etherum Live’ ‘Etherum News’ all streaming unusual content.

What happens after the hack

These hackers after taking control of your account, stream objectionable contents which is usually prohibited according to YouTube’s terms of service. In this case, in fact, the hacker is using an escrow name “Etherum Foundation.”

YouTube’s AI and algorithm flags the channel and suspends it indefinitely. The most disturbing part of this scam is that there are dozens of ‘Etherum Foundation’ parody or proxy accounts, defaming the original brand.

A simple search returns with at least a dozen channels with 0 videos but hundreds of thousands of subscribers, casually flaunting the security system.

Accounts with wider reach

Skyesports, which has over half a million subscribers is among the top esports companies in India which have millions of interactions, viewership, and traction.

Just like the Twitter scandal where hundreds of accounts were compromised and turned into an escrow bitcoin account, YouTube hacks of major prominent personalities and organizations are much common.

If at all YouTube can’t figure this out, Google must step in and stop this bandwagon of tricksters making their security look like a child’s play.

Valorant Pro ‘Crit’ Lies About RT-PCR Test Ahead of Nerd Street LAN Tournament

NRG streamer Alan “ethos” Ruan has revealed that his teammate Matthew “Crit” Franks had lied about his RT-PCR test results while participating in the Nerd Street’s Philadelphia LAN tournament. Crit reportedly lied about his RT-PCR results and turned up to the event despite his family members testing positive.

Ethos has shared the screenshots of the group chat in a Tweet while urging participants of the tournament, which took place on 8th and 9th January, to get tested for COVID-19.

“One of our teammates lied about getting a PCR test when his whole family had it and has only now admitted it, he and multiple others just tested positive,” Ethos said, “Don’t be irresponsible, immature or an idiot.”

Crit has issued an apology for his actions and has admitted to being “immature” and “irresponsible”.

“I let my own drive to compete get in the way of what really matters,” Crit said in a Tweet of his own.

https://twitter.com/Crit_VAL/status/1481465355377721349?s=20

Nerd Street CEO John Fazio has replied to ethos’ Tweet, saying that the behavior from Crit is “unacceptable” and “will be handled swiftly.”

“We are all in this together. If we want to get back to regular LANs, we’re all going to need to play our part,” he said. “We’ll be taking another look at our LAN policies as well. Thanks for making us aware.”

Dota 2 Pros Unhappy After Valve Cancels 2022 Winter Major

Dota 2 Pros Unhappy After Valve Cancels 2022 Winter Major

In a recent blog post, Valve has announced the cancellation of the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit Winter Tour Major due to the health concerns and travel restrictions involving COVID-19. Needless to say, the decision was met with an overwhelmingly negative response from the community and professional Dota 2 players alike.

“As the Winter Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit 2021-2022 season draws to a close, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the first Major,” Valve said in the post. “While hopes were high that we could host an international LAN event, the discovery and spread of new strains of COVID-19 and the resulting increase of travel restrictions has made it unfeasible for all qualified teams to gather for a LAN tournament.”

The primary reason behind the community outburst is the lack of communication from Valve’s side regarding the issue. There was no official announcement on the social media handles of Dota 2, and little communication to the participating teams and pros in the ongoing regional qualifiers.

A number of Dota 2 pros voiced their complaints against Valve over Twitter, with Sumail going as far as to ask teams to not compete in Season 2 of the DPC overall.

“If all the teams decide to just not compete in season 2 at least we will have some sort of stable system, either better communication or maybe dota just dies completely,” the 22-year-old said. “Either way better than the current state of things.”

https://twitter.com/SumaaaaiL/status/1481227341594509315?s=20

Teams participating in the DPC earn points by playing in their respective Regional Leagues and international Majors. With the first Major no longer happening, Valve has decided to redistribute its points to the second and third Major.

Here’s the distribution of the points as stated by Valve:

Major 2:

1st Place – 680 Points

2nd Place – 610 Points

3rd Place – 530 Points

4th Place – 460 Points

5th/6th Place – 385 Points

7th/8th Place – 240 Points

Major 3:

1st Place – 820 Points

2nd Place – 740 Points

3rd Place – 670 Points

4th Place – 590 Points

5th/6th Place – 515 Points

7th/8th Place – 360 Points

Following the community outburst, Valve has updated fans on the Winter Major cancellation while apologizing for their lack of communication.

“We should have done a better job of keeping you all in the loop about the risks of the event, and we also should have been more willing to take a different approach earlier to find a way to conclude the first season,” Valve said. “We apologize for this.” 

Valve also confirmed that they’re planning to organize a secondary LAN event to replace the Major, but pointed out the event may have a number of constraints due to the current health restrictions.

10 Footballers who had a video game named after them

10 Footballers who had a video game named after them

At one time it was the ultimate accolade for a footballer – to have a video game named after them. 

That was before the days when FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer established such a grip on the market that it is not very hard for any other game to succeed.

The quality of these games varied but each of them, at their time, had their devotees, and doubtless, there are still some who will feel a warm glow of nostalgia remembering them.

There may even be a few still laying them on an old PlayStation somewhere, and who used them to help them get through the dark days of lockdown last year, at a time when others were turning to the attractions of online casinos as featured in this Playstival.ie, Irish online casino guide.

Here are ten players who were immortalized in video game format.

  1. David Beckham Soccer cashed in on the popularity of then former England, Manchester United and Real Madrid star. And, like the player himself, there was a heavy emphasis on set pieces.
  2. Ronaldo V-Football was based on the original Brazilian Ronaldo, not CR7 of recent vintage) and was known for its quick and satisfying gameplay, and appealing graphics. It was also officially licensed, something quite rare at the time.
  3. Kevin Keegan Player Manager was one of the earliest types of the genre when it first appeared in 1993, the main menu was a representation of Keegan’s office, and is chiefly remembered because the options were limited and so were the graphics and the overall enjoyment.
  4. Michael Owen’s World League Soccer 99 was released on the Nintendo 64, Play Station and Dreamcast, although in the US the same game went under the name Mia Hamm Soccer as she was a more marketable asset over there then the former Liverpool and England player. Its intro has become notorious as one of the worst ever.
  5. Peter Shilton’s Handball Maradona, despite featuring the name of the Argentine great, had very little to do with him, featuring 16 teams from the top flight of English football at the time. It was a simple game where matches were split into two halves and layers were given several opportunities to make saves.
  6. O’Leary Manager 2000 is now considered a product ahead of its time, because it has players the option to decide whether they wanted to play games themselves, become more invested in management or combine the two. Features also included a transfer market and various training schedules.
  7. Alex Ferguson Manager 2001 The great Scottish manager also has had a game named after him, for PlayStation 2, but it failed to live up to his name, despite including the ability to manage the team, let down by the quality of its gameplay. 
  8. Gazza’s Superstar Soccer came out in 1989 and its biggest claim to fame was the feature that enabled players to switch the camera angle depending on where they were on the pitch.
  9. Steven Gerrard Total Soccer 2002 appeared on the Game Boy Advance and allowed players to choose from over 170 teams to play for, or against.
  10. Zidane Football Generation relied on its realism as its main selling point, with highly accurate reproductions of football pitches. What let it down was that it only offered three game modes and 16 national teams from which to choose.
