Vinny Vinesauce to take legal course post misconduct allegations

0

Vinny Vinesauce will be seeking legal advice after misconduct allegations surfaced. The YouTuber/Twitch streamer was accused of manipulating and lying to his fans into a sexual relationship.

Vinny is a popular Zelda streamer with over 500,000 followers on Twitch, for the better part of his streaming career, he steered clear of any drama whatsoever. However, on April 3rd, a Tweet went viral accusing him of lying and manipulating his fans into a sexual relationship, later forcing them to keep quiet.

The anonymously published statement lacked evidence to back the accusation, thus it didn’t take long for his fans to cancel the statement. Vinny was quick to break his silence and informed that he might take legal action against the publication.

“I’m not sure why they would post this other than to hurt me or damage my career,” said Vinny. “I have spoken to a lawyer and I am going to continue having contact with the lawyer in figuring out any particular legal action.” “I know I am who I am and I know I didn’t do anything wrong, and because of that I am not going into any more details publicly,“ he added.

“The situation is rough and I don’t know if I will be able to stream for a while. I definitely need some time and I need to take stock of who I am and where I am. “If I figure it out and if I am comfortable, I will be back. Until then, please respect me and my privacy and especially the privacy of others,” announced Vinny. The break is quite needed and he might not be able to enjoy his streams until the issue is resolved.

Game-Breaking Valorant Bug Lets Players Plant the Spike During His Ultimate

0

Prior to patch 2.06, Yoru was one of the least picked heroes in Valorant at higher ranks. This is why Riot Games decided to buff the agent, alongside Viper, in multiple aspects to make him more effective in-game. While the buffs indeed helped make them more viable in competitive, a game-breaking Yoru bug might be a cause of major concern for Valorant players queuing for competitive till this issue is fixed.

This newly-discovered bug lets Yoru plant the Spike during his ultimate. To replicate this bug, players have to use Yoru’s ultimate while having the Spike with them. Once at a site, the duelist can simply plant the Spike while remaining invulnerable and return to safety before his ultimate timer is up.

Now all the Attackers have to do is keep the Defenders busy by using their skills till the Spike explodes.

This is likely an unintended interaction of Yoru’s ultimate since the same can’t be done when trying to defuse the Spike as a Defender.

Fans are hoping for this game-breaking bug to get fixed by Riot at the earliest.

COD Mobile to get an exclusive new map in the next update

Activision has teased a new map for the upcoming season of COD Mobile and the first look of this map reveals that it is going to be a completely new map specially designed for their mobile title. The developers have added many famous maps from the COD franchise to the game but in this case, it will be the first exclusive map for COD Mobile.

Call of Duty: Mobile is a portable version that represents the entirety of COD in mobile gaming. This title has both multiplayer and battle royale modes and this new map will be added to all the variants of MP mode. The first look was uploaded on the official Twitter handle of COD Mobile.

The map which is highlighted above strikes a strong resemblance to the Coastal map which is currently available in the Chinese version of COD Mobile. This version of the game is quite different than the global variant and has its own tailored content. As the map showcased above is almost a lookalike of Coastal, there is a strong possibility that the new map will be Coastal in the global version as well.

The developers add new maps on a frequent basis and all of these maps are adopted from famous COD titles to date. Recently, two maps were added in the seasonal update, and hence, this new map might be added to the game with the next seasonal update.

COD Mobile Season 3 will begin in mid-April so there is still a long time before players can try their hands on this map. The next season will also bring many new features to the game which will be revealed in near future.

CSGO: Fivetown Scam and How to Avoid It

Scamming is not a new thing in the world of esports, and it isn’t only limited to in-game currencies and cosmetics. Over the years, scam artists have come up with a variety of ways to rip off victims for thousands of dollars a day, and it seems like they’re resorting to the new Fivetown Scam that not many are aware of.

The ‘Fivetown’ scam is recently gaining traction in the CSGO community as more and more clueless players are falling victim to it. While scams similar to the Fivetown scam have been existent for quite a while, a lot of players don’t know how it works.

How to avoid Fivetown CSGO Scam

For starters, CSGO players, or sometimes Steam members in general, will receive a suspicious message from a random person in their friends’ list. The message will say something along the lines of, “Hey, vote for my csgo team on fivetown – we just need two more votes.”

The exact message may vary but the concept is similar – they’ll ask you to log on to a third-party website to “vote” for their team.

Needless to say, there’s no such actual team, and neither can you vote for them. Once you log on to the phishing website, your account credentials will be stolen and your account will get hacked.

If two-factor authentication is not enabled on your account, you may find yourself being stripped of all your CSGO skins. Otherwise, the scammers will attempt to steal your skins through trades you make in the future by changing your API.

To avoid it, simply don’t click on the phishing link sent by the scammer. In case you have already clicked on the link, you must immediately change your account details like the password and change your API if it has already been set by the hackers.

Valorant, CSGO pros indulged in match-fixing questioned by Riot officials

A couple of days ago, TalkEsport had reported that the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) were conducting an investigation alongside the FBI into the match-fixing and betting syndicates existing in the professional CSGO scene. This time, it seems like Riot Games, the developers behind Valorant, are conducting an independent investigation of their own.

According to a recent report from Richard Lewis on Dexerto, Riot Games has been conducting a series of interviews with professional Valorant players to investigate suspected match-fixing.

It’s still unclear if these investigations by Riot Games have any connection with the one conducted by the ESIC and FBI whatsoever.

For the unaware, In a recent interview with YouTuber ‘slash32’, ESIC commissioner Ian Smith claimed that the ESIC had uncovered evidence which suggests that a specific group of players in Mountain Dew League (MDL) were being actively bribed by “betting syndicates” to throw games.

A portion of these players suspected for match-fixing in CSGO might have moved to Valorant to play professionally, which may have led to this investigation taking place.

Whether or not Riot Games decides to go public with their findings still remains to be seen.

ESL Announces CSGO Showmatch on De_Tuscan at ESL Pro League S13

It seems like the map that has been creating some serious hype in the CSGO community for well over a year is finally about to arrive to the shooter, as ESL has announced a grand showmatch to be organized during the ESL Pro League S13 at Tuscan, the bomb defusal map that was insanely popular among CS fans back in the day.

Tuscan is a bomb defusal map and one of the most iconic maps in Counter-Strike history. The map had managed to mark its place alongside other great maps of CS 1.6 like Inferno, Aztec, and the legendary Dust 2.

While Tuscan was discontinued from the series from the days of Source and was absent from CSGO, fan-made versions of the map still continued to rock the Steam workshop.

Last year, we had reported that a revamped Tuscan for CSGO might be in the works. The hype increased further when the closed beta trailer for the map was revealed by the map developers this January.

While it’s still unclear if the map will make its way back to CSGO, the showmatch is still certain to fill the hearts of Counter-Strike fans with nostalgia.

The map, still being in its early phases, is likely to have some bugs present during the time of the showmatch. However, players can expect these bugs to be sorted out swiftly if Valve decides to ship it to the official map pool in the near future.
