Complexity seek offers for es3tag and jks

The Dallas-Based Organization plans to stay committed to the scene despite several roster changes in the past quarter.

Justin “⁠jks⁠” Savage and Patrick “⁠es3tag⁠” Hansen have been transfer-listed by Complexity, the North American organization announced today on their Twitter handle as they look forward to re-evaluating their options going further in 2022. This roster change comes a week later after Benjamin “⁠blameF⁠” Bremer declared free agency, ending his 2-year stint with the team.

Dubbed as the “Juggernaut”, Complexity revamped their roster in 2019 with four new players including blameF, Will “RUSH” Wierzba, Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke, Valentin “poizon” Vasilev, joining Owen “⁠oBo⁠” Schlatter on the main roster.

Since the assembly of the latter, the team never found their position at the top with just a lone championship at the  BLAST Premier: Spring 2020 European Finals. Post their win, Complexity underwent a plethora of temporary changes in the faces of Niels Christian ‘NaToSaphiX’ Sillassen, Jakob “⁠JUGi⁠” Hansen, and Otto “⁠ottoNd⁠” Sihvo who stepped in while poizon and k0nfig were on medical leave.

es3tag who previously played for Heroic, Astralis and in the end Cloud9 found himself a new home at Complexity in July only to be placed on the transfer list after a period of just four months alongside jks with blameF and poizon too getting released from their contracts after an unsuccessful run at the European RMR event ahead of the ongoing PGL Stockholm Major.

The roster is now left with the temporary stand-in Marcelo “⁠coldzera⁠” David who replaced k0nfig and head coach Luis “⁠peacemaker⁠” Tadeu with the of the said duo yet to be determined by the North American Organization although the latter intends to field a fresh roster for the 2022 season.

Complexity are now left with :

Twitch Investigating Massive Money Laundering Scandal, Confirms Action Against 150 Streamers

0

Last month, Twitch experienced a devastating data breach that resulted in sensitive information like streamer payouts, passwords and a bunch of other stuff being leaked online. Recently, members of the Turkish Valorant community have inspected the leaked files and pointed out several small streamers receiving unusually high amounts of donations in the form of bits.

According to a report from Middle East Eye, hackers have been using the streaming platform to launder almost $10 million in bits. The alleged streamers reportedly had about 50 viewers, but received significant sums of money in donations.

Jake Lucky explains in a recent Tweet that these scammers have been hacking Twitch accounts to donate bits to the streamers. He also claims that some accounts might be using bots to watch ads on the platform to earn bits and then mass donating those as well.

As mentioned in a VLR.GG report, most of these small streamers seem to be Turkish Valorant players. “The approximate amount is looking to be 300 members in the Turkish VALORANT scene, both players and streamers,” Corentin Phalip mentions in a Tweet.

Twitch mentioned in a statement to Dexerto that they have taken action against 150 streamers in September for abuse of its monetization tools.

“Recently, members of the Twitch community have expressed concerns toward the legitimacy of some creators’ revenues in Turkey. We want to assure our community that we do not hesitate to take decisive action against accounts engaged in prohibited conduct,” a Twitch spokesperson said.

Valorant, Riot’s FPS, has been a resounding success since its release in 2020, thanks to its unique blend of tactical shooting mechanics and ability-based gameplay along with a wide selection of incredible-looking cosmetics that entice the player-base to grind the game out.



Today, Riot has shipped a brand new skin bundle, “Radiant Crisis 001” to their first person tactical shooter as a part of the 3.09 patch update and the Episode 3 Act 3. Premium content producers at Riot have once again startled the community with a new cosmetic design, this time based on a comic book theme from the 90s, which can be fostered once you upgrade the other variants on your weapon skin from the Radiant Crisis 001 bundle .

2.  Phantom: 1775  VP3. Classic: 1775 VP

Ever since the launch of Valorant, we have come across a plethora of ideas revolving around the premium weapon skin collections, the likes of Elder Flame, Glitchpop and every other collection revealed by Riot. The Radiant Crisis 0001 boasts a unique melee weapon skin, themed as a Baseball Bat with an upgradable variant. In fact every weapon apart from the Baseball Melee has two available variants consisting of VFX and Finisher upgrades.

The VFX upgrade would flash a “Click” animation every time you reload while the finisher upgrade animates with “bang, pow, oof, and whack”.

You can grab the Radiant Crisis 001 bundle from in-game at the cost of just 7100 Valorant Points (VP) for the next two weeks until it gets replaced by some other collection. As mentioned above, you can get the weapon skins at individual pricing of 1775 VP while the Melee Baseball bat comes at an exclusive amount of 3550 VP.

The upcoming Act is all set to go live later today but fans will have to experience a downtime for the Valorant servers while the game is being updated.

Vitality Cut it Close With Entropiq to Make it to PGL Major Playoffs

Team Vitality have secured their spot at the Avicii Arena after a laboured win over Entropiq. This sets them up for a quarter finals finish at the least, and stickers in game for the first time for ‘misutaaa’ and ‘Kyojin’.

The French were 0-2 down on opening day, having lost both their games and on the verge of elimination. They completed the fairytale comeback after 3 consecutive wins over Evil Geniuses, Astralis and now Entropiq.

Entropiq shocked Gambit, Astralis and Heroic in their run at the Major and had 2 chances to secure their spot at the Major, but they lost to FURIA yesterday and today’s close loss to Vitality sent them home, but they impressed everyone with their performance.

Entropiq started the game on their map pick of Mirage, and took a solid lead of 6-2, splitting the B bombsite multiple times. ‘Forester’ racked up 18 kills, along with ‘Krad’s 13 to set the tone early but ‘ZywOo’ was there to counter them. He helped Vitality get back into the game as they mounted 7 CT rounds.

Entropiq then seemed to run away with it, as the score read 14-10 and there was little bite in Vitality’s T side. It was then that IGL ‘apEX’ came alive, providing his team with an ACE and a 1v3 clutch to make the score 14-11. The clutch shattered the Russians, as they couldn’t win a single round after it as Vitality secured the win 16-14.

On the second map, Entropiq were in the driver’s seat from the get go. They shut down Vitality’s T side with ease, racking up 11 rounds on the CT side, needing just 5 on the T side. It was IGL ‘Nickelback’ this time stepping up for his side. Vitality did keep up on the CT side, not allowing Entropiq get a string of rounds, but they had too little to work with and succumbed to 16-13 loss on their own map pick.

Once we came to the decider on Dust2, Vitality absolutely ran the Russians Ragged. They couldn’t get anything done on the T side as world #1 ZywOo was a man possessed, shutting them down with the AWP. Vitality ended the half 13-2, the most one sided score at half time in the series. They comfortably got the 3 rounds on the T side to secure playoffs at the Avicii Arena.

VCT LCQ: cloud9 Blue claim final Champions spot over Rise Nation

0

The Los Angeles based Organization pulled off a successful lower bracket run to win the best of five series over their regional counterparts, Rise. 

The Last Chance Qualifier in the North American Region finally comes to an end with Cloud9 Blue rounding off the list of 16 teams who would feature at the Valorant Champions event, to be held later this year in Berlin. The NA LCQ action was temporarily suspended due to technical and health issues building up around the LAN tournament eventually transitioning the rest of the matches to an online mode which resumed on October 28.

The event saw eight teams enter the contention for the lone spot towards the Champions event with the previous list comprising ten as ORDER and Chiefs Esports Club withdrew from the tournament citing travel restrictions due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Cloud9 Blue and 100 Thieves were both relegated down to the Lower Bracket by Rise Nation with the Anthony “vanity” Malaspina led side having won their Upper Bracket Quarterfinal match against Version1.

Before taking on Rise, Cloud9 Blue locked horns against 100 Thieves in the Lower Bracket, deemed as the heavy favourites to claim the final Champions spot only to suffer defeat at the hands of the former who maintained a flawless Lower Bracket run in bid to further qualify. 

Cloud9 Blue indeed entered the Grand finals with their only shot at redemption to make up for their loss against Rise in the Upper Bracket round as they were finally able to convert their Lower Bracket momentum into a total whitewash of 3-0 over Rise.

The Veto was as follows:

  • Rise ban Icebox
  • C9B pick Breeze
  • Rise pick Split
  • C9B pick Bind
  • Rise pick Haven
  • Ascent remains       

The second half of Breeze saw Cloud9 put up a dominant show, conceding just three rounds to deny Ryan “Shanks” Ngo and co, running away with their map pick. The final score read 13-8 as Cloud9 Blue drew the first blood in the series.

Split was a disaster for Rise as Cloud9 Blue ran circles around them, consistently winning aim duels and outmaneuvering both on the offense and defense. The camp at Rise looked completely destitute and listless as they were unable to secure a round to their name, losing their pick 13-0 in favour of Cloud9 Blue.

Bind looked much more livelier of all the maps for Rise as both the teams kept trading rounds back and forth thanks to Shanks who aggressively played around with his operator, locking Cloud9 out of the bombsites.

The odds indeed tipped towards Rise, getting a control over the game but were yet again denied by their opponents who never let them plant the spike in the 24th round, running away with the lone spot towards the Champions event and becoming the third team to represent North America at the same.

The Final 16 teams for Valorant Champions:

  1. Cloud9 Blue
  2. Sentinels
  3. Team Envy
  4. KRU Esports
  5. Gambit Esports
  6. Team Vikings
  7. Keyd Stars
  8. Acend
  9. Fnatic10. Vision Strikers
  10. Crazy Raccoon
  11. X10 Esports
  12. Team Secret
  13. Team Liquid
  14. FURIA Esports

GTA 6’s development might be facing issues

0

GTA 6 isn’t coming anytime soon, given how Rockstar’s previous title, Red Dead Redemption 2 was eight years in the making, and Grand Theft Auto V itself was released eight years ago.

It seems that GTA 6’s development has been messy and “chaotic” according to Rockstar Mag, known for reporting usually-reliable information related to Rockstar Games’ projects. Rockstar Mag’s Chris Klippel states that GTA 6 is Rockstar’s “most chaotic project since its creation” and that development has been rebooted multiple times over the years which would put difficulties surrounding Red Dead Redemption 2’s and GTA 4’s development to shame. 

 
Most of the issues apparently stem from Rockstar’s co-founder, Dan Houser’s departure from the company last year which caused internal turmoil due to which the game’s storyline, characters, and map have been overhauled numerous times since the game was supposedly gearing up for a 2020 reveal.

It is important to note that none of these rumors have been confirmed by Rockstar Games themselves, although if you’re itching for more Grand Theft Auto, the remastered trilogy arrives in less than two weeks.
