s1mple Sets a New CSGO Record with 8 MVPs

The final event of the year has ended and it would not be complete without the mention of the absolute GOAT of CSGO – Aleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev. The Ukrainian rounded out the year with a sensational performance again at BLAST Premier World Finals to complete a dream run from the lower bracket all the way to the $500,000 grand prize.

The tournament started with a shock loss to ‘dead’ team Team Liquid who upset NaVi in the opening game. The Major winners then bounced back with a vengeance as they fought back from the lower bracket versus Heroic, G2, Team Liquid again for revenge and then ruined Vitality’s last dance in the consolidation final.

In the Grand Final, they defeated their domestic rivals Gambit who had hounded them a lot during the first half of the season, but post player break it was NaVi who took the spoils every time, especially at the PGL Major.

This was s1mple’s 8th MVP in 2021, the most by any player ever in a single calendar year, overtaking the previous best of Nicolai ‘dev1ce’ Reedtz who had 7 MVPs in 2018 during the era of Astralis.

S1mple MVP 2021 Events:

  • BLAST Premier Global Final 
  • DreamHack Masters Spring 
  • StarLadder CIS RMR 
  • IEM Cologne
  • ESL Pro League Season 14
  • PGL Major Stockholm
  • BLAST Premier Fall Final
  • BLAST Premier World Final

The 24 year old AWPer looks set to be crowned the #1 player of the year for the second time, after getting his first in 2018. He outdid his 2018 performance by a margin and had the trophies to boot this time around, and a major title. He will become the first player to reclaim the #1 spot, after missing out on it in 2019 and 2020 courtesy of Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut.

NaVi also cemented 2021 as their year, winning almost every S tier tournament in the second half the year and a couple of #1 finishes at the start of the year as well. It was the addition of Valeriy ‘B1T’ Vakhovskiy that gave NaVi the push they needed to go from #2 to #1 team in the world. 

The NaVi era is well and truly here and they will look to continue their winning ways once the 2022 season begins, as will s1mple who is showing absolutely no chances of slowing down any time soon as he vies for the crown with NiKo and ZywOo, to be called the best player to ever touch the game, but for 2021 he is a class apart from the rest.

NaVi Crowned BLAST Premier World Finals Champions

Natus Vincere ended the year on the highest of the highs, winning the final tournament of the year – BLAST Premier World Finals 2021. Faltering at the early stages, the CIS squad turned things around the very next day and defeated every team that came their way be it Heroic, G2, Team Vitality or finally Gambit in the Grand Final.

MAP 1 – Mirage – Gambit 16-11 Natus Vincere

Gambit started off well as they had a head start, not needing to play in the Consolidation final as they came from the upper bracket. They took NaVi’s map pick of Mirage comfortably, winning the game 16-11 after taking a decent 9-6 lead in the first half. NaVi kept it close in the second half pistol but a 3v5 in the follow up force buy reinvigorated the Russian squad and they ran away with the game with ‘Ax1le’ outperforming s1mple by a margin.

MAP 2 – Ancient – Gambit 11-16 Natus Vincere

On to Gambit’s pick of Ancient that was termed surprising by coach ‘b1ad3’, NaVi got off to a good start with a 2-0, Gambit fought back but NaVi’s streak of 6 rounds in a row saw them amass 9 CT rounds as the sides changed. S1mple and electronic with 15 CT kills each put them in the driver’s seat.

S1mple continued his tear on the T side as he racked up 11 more kills on the T side. Gambit tried to make it close with 5 CT rounds but ‘boombl4’ out-callled them by a margin leaving them in the dust to make it 16-11.

MAP 3 – Inferno – Gambit 6-16 Natus Vincere

The final battleground for every good series – Inferno was the decider. It was the s1mple show again as him and IGL boombl4 shut the gates to Gambit’s T side attempts. They had a combined 33 kills, with 14 more from perfecto to take a lead of 11-4 into the second half.

NaVi didn’t let up and let Gambit have 2 sporadic rounds as they won the game out comfortably,16-6  thanks to s1mple’s 27-9 and a 1.92 rating on the final map.

BLAST Premier World Final Champions

With this win NaVi take home $500,000 in prize money and another trophy – their 8th off 2021. They secure the title for the best team in the world by a large margin, having won the all important Major, the Intel Grand Slam, BLAST Fall Finals and now finally BLAST World Finals.

They won every LAN they attended in 2021 be it IEM Cologne, PGL Stockholm, BLAST Premier World Finals and BLAST Premier Fall Finals.

MVP for BLAST World Finals

Aleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev once again proved that he’s a cut above the rest as he posted a rating off 1.42 in the tournament a 1.62 rating in the Grand Final to carry his team to a 2-1 victory in the Grand Finals over ‘nafany’ and his men. He won the MVP for his stellar performance throughout as he took home his 8th MVP medal to break the record for most MVPs in a year as well as equalling dev1ce for Most MVPs of all time.

What to expect in the 2022 Season?

This was the last Pro CS tournament of 2021, as teams like Liquid, Vitality, G2 and others look for a rebuild and bounce back stronger in 2022 while NaVi will look to continue their ‘era’ which is well and truly here. 

Stones pelted at S8UL Gaming House; Four Arrested

S8UL Gaming House, the home and work space of some of the top gaming content creators in India, was attacked by six youths. The accused were pelting stones at the window of S8UL Gaming house and after launching a formal complaint, four of them have been arrested by the police.

8Bit Creatives co-owner 8Bit Goldy took it to his social media to create an awareness on the serious matter of hatred and explained the ordeal. According to him, He and another member of S8UL returned back from Goa and were resting at the facility when they heard a bang on the window.

The noises continued for some time until 8Bit Goldy and Soul Mortal went upstairs and spotted people hiding in bushes and pelting stones at the facility. The attack caused some property damage to the window and broke the mirror of Hastar’s car.

S8UL representatives then went on to bait the culprits and invited them into the facility under the pretext of click photographs. They detained four of the attackers and called the police. The guard was also injured in this attack.

A complaint has been lodged at the Khargar police station and four youth are held there while two others are still missing. 8Bit Goldy also said that the youths were actually kids and their parents are called to the police station as well. Their identities are kept secret for now as they are minors.

S8UL has a large fan base with a small portion of ill-wishers as well. The hate speech issue has been pertinent in community for a long time but these youngsters took it to another level by breaking the law. The course of action is not revealed yet.

0

Format for Valorant tournament at GXR Gamers Galaxy, which places 64 teams in a competition for the lion’s share of 5,000,000 PKR, is finally here. 

Earlier in October, Galaxy Racer announced Pakistan’s biggest, all-encompassing esports event in the lush metropolis of the country. From the console, mobile, and PC, all gaming communities will get a chance to gather in Islamabad’s Pak-China friendship center to commemorate esports. 

Valorant has quickly grabbed the interest of first-person shooter enthusiasts in Pakistan. Top-tier teams are gearing up to bring their best foot forward as the Valorant esports in Pakistan is as competitive as ever. There are clear favorites and underdogs, but the local teams are well-known for their surprise element.

Gamer’s Galaxy has finally revealed the brackets and format for the most significant event. 

What’s the format of Gamer’s Galaxy Valorant? 

Sixty-four teams across Pakistan will compete online for the biggest LAN event in Islamabad. From 18-19 December, all the teams will fight in a best of one, single-elimination format to make it to round 2. The 32 best teams will further compete in a bo1, resulting in the top 16 teams across Pakistan. 

Round 3 will take place on 22-23rd December, finalizing the eight teams for the online Quarterfinals that will be live-streamed on 25-26 December. All matches will be best of one, except Quarterfinals, Semi-finals, and Finals. The last two stages will occur on LAN at the prestigious stage of the Pak China Friendship Centre in Islamabad on January 8th-9th, 2022. 

GXR Gamers Galaxy prize pool 

The esports event will have a grand prize pool of 2 CRORE PKR, distributed among Valorant, FIFA, PUBG Mobile, and Tekken 7 winners. Valorant prize pool was initially 4,000,000 but was later cranked up to 5 Million PKR.

Teams to watch out for at GXR Gamers Galaxy 

Valorant has easily nurtured one of the most cut-throat esports in Pakistan in a short span. The competition is tough, as top players from CSGO, Fortnite, and more games transferred to Valorant to set up killer lineups. 

Team Exploit is easily the tournament favorite at GXR Gamers Galaxy. With HSB as their top gun and shooter as the ace aimer, it’d be tough to keep Exploit away from the trophy. Team Arrow has recently failed to show on servers, but the team would likely bring their A-game for the biggest esports event in Pakistan. 

New-look Clarity, Fear Legends, Salt Esports will also show up with rosters studded with notable FPS players in Pakistan. Team Falcons and Neoteric would enter as underdogs who have the potential to upset bigger teams.

If you are a regular player of Fortnite and you’re still unable to find the snowball launcher, then this article is for you. We will tell you the exact location of where you can find the snowball launcher in Fortnite Chapter 3.

It has been almost two weeks since the release of the third chapter in Fortnite, and many players are still confused with the location. Gamers are now eligible to open exciting gifts every day from the Cozy Lodge, including skins, gliders, emotes, and more items.

Where To Find The Snowball Launcher?

Right now, players must be wondering about the exact location of the snowball launcher so that they can start the game and head right into the spot. But unfortunately, there is no exact location set by the creators of the game where you can spot the Snowball Launcher. 

However, if you search correctly, you can find one Snowball Launcher in the chests, and so far, it is the best-known location where most of the gamers have spotted that item.

Valorant to add Friendly Fire Penalty to Deal with Griefers in New Patch

0

Valorant, much like any other First Person Shooter, includes Griefers and toxic players who play just to ruin other people’s games. This is primarily seen in FPS games where players damage their opponents with guns and/or utilities.

Valorant has already found ways to deal with Smurf accounts by banning them, as well as monitoring Voice comms so players don’t have to deal with abuse and toxic teammates. According to ValorLeaks, an account dedicated solely to Valorant leaks and info, friendly fire will not go unpunished from here on out and there will be penalties for doing team damage.

As of now, no guns or projectiles can do damage to teammates in Valorant. But utilities such as Brimstone’s molotov, Killjoy and Raze’s grenades, and others like Phoenix’s hot hands can do damage to teammates as well. These are usually used to take map control but some players throw these specifically at teammates to damage and eventually kill them.

This can continue for the whole game without any consequences, so Riot has decided to issue a penalty to players who cause friendly fire.

What will be the friendly fire penalties in Valorant?

Valorant might be taking a page out of CSGO’s book, the best FPS shooter, and issue a cooldown or an account suspension to players who damage teammates. In CSGO players receive temporary bans for doing damage to their teammates constantly.

It is currently unknown just how long the penalties will be but it is safe to say that causing team damage and friendly fire will no longer go unpunished in Valorant. It must be carefully monitored as sometimes teammates can damage each other by accident without any ill intentions and they must not be punished for that. 

CSGO Might Finally Move to Source 2, According to New Leaks

In the past, we have seen several rumors and leaks suggesting that Valve is working on a potential port of CSGO to the Source 2 engine. However, even after a year since the rumors initially surfaced, the title hasn’t been ported to the new engine yet.

The port of the competitive shooter to the upgraded engine would mean drastic visual improvements to the title alongside other aspects. In fact, a fan-made port of Dust 2 in Source 2 engine shows how gorgeous it can potentially look.

Recently, Twitter user ‘Gabe Follower’ has once again come up with new leaks that suggest the Source 2 upgrade being just around the corner. In a Tweet posted on December 15th, he explains that a “csgo” mention has been added to Source 2 Workshop Manager, which likely means that the port is well in the works.

For the unaware, “Workshop Manager” is a tool for publishing mods to the workshop, which was previously only available for Dota 2, Steam Tours and Half-Life: Alyx.

Unfortunately, no release date for the much-anticipated Source 2 port for CSGO has been set in stone as of yet. The developers behind the shooter haven’t confirmed the port, nor have they revealed a specific date for its release.

Currently, fans are left with no other way than to wait eagerly for the Source 2 port to arrive. However, a good portion of the CSGO community seems to be certain that the CSGO Source 2 port will come sooner or later.
