Complexity sign es3tag

Complexity gaming on Twitter have revealed the addition of Patrick “es3tag” Hansen to their CSGO division. 

After spending four months on Cloud9’s bench, Es3tag has signed up for Complexity’s CSGO roster and will replace Wiliaml “RUSH” Wierzba on the team. This will be the team’s second change post the departure of head coach Jamie “⁠keita⁠” Hall. 

Earlier today, Complexity moved RUSH to their bench in the wake of poor showings across the past year. This was indeed followed by the North American organization unveiling the signing of es3tag to their CSGO squad. 

Complexity struggled to find their position at the top of the rankings despite winning the BLAST Premier: Spring 2020 European Finals where they beat Vitality in the Grand Finals. It was the only time when the team was deemed to be in its prime form as their rhythm went spiraling down going forward. A plethora of mid-table finishes across the year 2020 and their recent exit from the IEM Cologne Group Stage at the hands of Virtus.pro had the team reconsider their options for the future.

Patrick joined Cloud9 from Astralis as a part of Henry “HenryG” Greer’s project dubbed as the “Colossus” in the second half of 2020 led by Alex “ALEX” McMeekin. Across his tenure with the former, the team had its own ups and downs, eventually putting their CSGO division on hold earlier in March. At Complexity, Es3tag reunites with blameF, with whom he played under Heroic for a brief period. The Texas-based team will debut with es3tag at the ESL Pro League Season 14. 

With the addition of es3tag, the team now has:

  • Benjamin “⁠blameF⁠” Bremer
  • Kristian “⁠k0nfig⁠” Wienecke
  • Valentin “⁠poizon⁠” Vasilev
  • Justin “⁠jks⁠” Savage
  • Patrick “⁠es3tag⁠” Hansen
  • William “⁠RUSH⁠” Wierzba (Moved to the bench)

Fnatic looks to rebuild as JW is benched; rumors heat up of Danish reshuffle

Fnatic looks to rebuild as JW is benched; rumors heat up of Danish reshuffle

Earlier this week, Fnatic announced that they have benched veteran AWPer and long-standing member Jesper “⁠JW⁠” Wecksell following a series of dismal performances from the player JW won 3 majors with Fnatic and has been part of the org since the early days of CS:GO, and was a top 10 player for 3 years straight.

Fnatic has been on a constant path downhill ever since the online era started and dropped out of the top 15 back in February and haven’t recovered since. Currently at 47th in the world, a matter of great shame for a team that was so dominant in the early years of CS:GO, winning 3 majors in the process.

Swedes struggling to find a way

With IGL Maikil “⁠Golden⁠” Selim being benched earlier this month, JW now joins him on the bench, leaving only 3 members in the starting line-up. Fnatic plans to go international with the new roster, moving away from their policy of 5 swedes, which had been very successful.

Currently, the three remaining members of the roster are Freddy”⁠KRIMZ⁠” Johansson, Ludvig “⁠Brollan⁠” Brolin, and Jack “⁠Jackinho⁠” Ström Mattsson with KRIMZ being the only one remaining from the roster that won the Major in 2015. Regarding the move, JW said that he would reflect upon things, and didn’t rule out anything about a potential move to VALORANT. His contract expires in early 2022.

Potential European Shuffle

Across the border, in Denmark, things look equally shaky. According to Twitter user @DanishCSGOleaks, huge roster moves are on the cards, primarily involving the Astralis core. As per the user, the members have decided not to renew their contracts this year, after 5 years with the organisation.

The core members will be free agents come 2022, and have the right to look for offers already. Only Bubzkji, the newest member, has a year and a half left on his contract.

As per the rumours, clutch minister ‘Xyp9x’ will be moving to Faze Clan as ‘olofmeister’ will finally step down for them to make way. ‘Dupreeh’ is rumoured to join old mate ‘dev1ce’ in NIP who have decided to bench the academy graduate ‘LNZ’. ‘Magisk’ is reportedly set to join Complexity with ex-teammate ‘k0nfig’ as major winner ‘RUSH’ is allegedly being benched.

These are all of course, rumours, and must be taken with a pinch of salt

Rumours aside, coach ‘Zonic’ will NOT renew his contract and is looking for offers elsewhere, news portal Jaxon confirmed. The position of the coach is rumoured to be filled by current Heroic coach ‘HUNDEN’ which would also explain his absence from the last event IEM COLOGNE.

The roster that won 4 majors, 3 of them in a row, would each go their own ways after being together for 5 years, leaving behind an unmatchable dynasty. Lastly, 2-time major winner and #1 player in the world in 2016 and 2017, ‘coldzera’ said he WOULD play the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 14 in August, but for whom, remains to be seen.

RUSH moved to the bench at Complexity

Complexity Gaming on Twitter have revealed the departure of Willian “RUSH” Wierzba” from their CSGO division. The 27-year-old has been benched from the active roster in the wake of poor showings across last year. 

Having joined Complexity from Cloud9’s bench alongside blameF, RUSH had been a part of the “Juggernaut” program led by Benjamin “blameF” Bremer with whom he joined the former team in 2019. 

Under RUSH, Complexity never found their place at the top of the scene despite winning the BLAST Premier: Spring 2020 European Finals where they beat Vitality in the Grand Finals. It was the only time when Complexity were deemed to be in their prime form as their rhythm went spiraling down, going forward. A plethora of mid-table finishes across the year 2020 and their recent exit from the IEM Cologne Group Stage at the hands of Virtus.pro had the team reconsider their options for the future.

RUSH undoubtedly had been an integral part of Cloud9 CSGO in their triumph at the ELEAGUE Boston Major’18, which made Complexity sign him in the first place after the Los-Angeles-based organization decided to revamp their roster led by Damian “daps” Steele. RUSH’s departure follows the exit of head coach Jamie “⁠keita⁠” Hall with whom Complexity mutually parted ways with. 

Ahead of the player break, Complexity are the first time to shuffle up their roster going forward. It was later revealed that Patrick ‘es3tag” Hansen was signed into the former’s CSGO roster and would debut with the team at the ESL Pro League Season 14, scheduled to start from August 16. 

Complexity are now:

  • Benjamin “⁠blameF⁠” Bremer
  • Kristian “⁠k0nfig⁠” Wienecke
  • Valentin “⁠poizon⁠” Vasilev
  • Justin “⁠jks⁠” Savage
  • Patrick “⁠es3tag⁠” Hansen
  • William “⁠RUSH⁠” Wierzba (Moved to the bench)

Valorant Mumbai Server Continues To Crash Despite Riot’s Allegiance To Resolve Problems

Reports of frequent Valorant Mumbai server crashes were seen storming the internet once again on July 21 as players received an error message that rendered them unable to play the game properly. 

At around 8 pm IST today, many Indian Valorant players were greeted with an error message when they attempted to play the shooter. The error message read, “We are currently experiencing an unusually large number of players. To keep everything running smoothly, we need you to hold on just for a moment.”

This incident follows the acknowledgment of the issue by the Riot devs in a Tweet that was posted from the official Valorant South Asia handle on 14th July. The Tweet said, “We’re aware of the recent server instability and are at work investigating a root cause. Apologies, we will have updates for you soon.”

These sorts of server crashes are becoming more and more of a common occurrence in the Mumbai servers of Valorant. This is certainly becoming a cause of concern for the community as many players are finding it difficult to be able to consistently play the game as a result of these crashes. 

However, since Riot Games has confirmed that they’re looking to fix the issue at its roots, it’s likely that the server problems will be fixed within the next few days. Till then, players can choose to queue in the SEA servers instead for a smoother matchmaking experience.

How to Create Skins in CSGO?

If you have ever played CSGO for more than a few minutes, chances are that you’re already familiar with the plethora of in-game weapon skins that the title has to offer to its players. While the skins have no direct impact on the gameplay whatsoever, they are still insanely popular for their cosmetic effects. 

Skins can be primarily obtained in CSGO by opening cases or by buying directly from the community marketplace. Their prices can range from as low as 3 cents to as high as over $50,000 USD.

As CSGO continues to grow in popularity with each passing year, more and more players are interested in knowing ways to create their own weapon skins. These skins can then be submitted to the community workshop and if you’re lucky, Valve might select them for their next weapon case. 

At the time of writing, there’s a million-dollar CSGO art contest going on where ten winners will get $100,000 each. If you’re a skin creator or are planning to create some new skins soon, be sure to check the contest out. 

How to Create CSGO Skins?

While creating CSGO skins isn’t very complex to learn, it can certainly take a lot of time to make a good-looking weapon skin for the shooter. You’ll need a photo editing application like Photoshop to be able to pull off your own designs. 

Here’s what you need to do to create your own weapon skin:

Get the Required Weapon Files

Firstly, you need to get yourself the weapon files that you need for your skin from a skin/accessory store. You’ll also need the TGA and OBJ files for the weapon.

Creating the Texture

The TGA file will enable you to map the textures in the game. Simply click on the Edit Texture in OBJ to update the model texture in real-time.

Once done, fill all the weapon sections with colors of your choice. Remember to put a base color before starting on the texture. When you’re happy with your skin’s design, save the TGA file. 

VTF and Notepad

Once you have successfully saved the TGA file, you have to import it to VtfEdit and save it as a VTF file.

You can find the text file format that you need on the Steam Workshop page. To do so, you have to input the path to your VTF file in the first line. 

CSGO Workbench

Add the finishing touches in the CSGO workbench. Upload the file to view how it looks in-game and if you’re satisfied with the finalized design, save the file to the workbench and click on submit.
