The website went live on 1st March 2021 and has over 2000 items listed. As the name suggests, ProSkins will houses all tradable items from CSGO, primarily skins, knives, gloves, and many more items. The primary target of the website lies in dominating the Brazilian skin market where they have tough competition in a saturated market.

“It has always been my desire to serve the public. Since the beginning of my career, I have received messages from fans wanting to buy my skins or sell theirs to me, which has increased with the growth of my streams last year ”. said boltz.

Fer and Boltz were teammates in the past which justifies this partnership, on top of that, their fame as a professional player will play a major role in bringing traction to the website. Having stayed at the upper echelons of CSGO for a long time, both players have acquired legendary status in Brazil with a massive fan following.

“He suggested that I join the project so that we could do just one. I thought and saw that the people involved liked me and were friends of mine. He made the invitation, I talked to the other partners and we started to run the project a few months ago. Instead of making two separate websites, we decided to come together to do something cool, ” commented fer on their partnership.

Besides the traditional methods of payments like credit/debit cards, E-wallets, etc, ProSkins welcomes crypto transactions which is an added bonus for many out there. In short, it promises to be a skin store that possesses the potential to dominate the trading landscape outside CSGO in the coming future.

Elden Ring Trailer footage got leaked online

0

Back in 2019 at the E3 expo, FromSoftware announced their upcoming title “Elden Ring” in collaboration with George R.R Martin. After which nothing more was revealed about the game except a handful of concept art and an announcement trailer. 

The game has been the subject of multiple leaks and rumors since then, with fans speculating that the trailer would be revealed during Microsoft’s upcoming March showcase event. However, Aaron Greenberg, the head executive for Xbox’s marketing department immediately dismissed the rumors as they “have no upcoming game announcements or reveals.”

Just recently, a few scenes from the trailer were leaked and shared across social media platforms. As is tradition, the leaked footage happens to be blurry with the camera shaking constantly. However, the snippets still contain visible details such as Horseback riding, Skeleton-like enemies, Dragons, and familiar souls-like dungeons. 

Prominent Video Game journalists Jason Schrier at Bloomberg, Andy Robinson at VGC, and Jeff Grubb at Venturebeat confirmed that the footage was indeed real. During his stream on Twitch, Fanbyte’s Imran Khan stated “when Bandai Namco and FromSoftware want to reveal the Elden Ring, they are going to do it by just dropping the trailer”.

What’s interesting to note here is that Bandai Namco has registered a trademark for “Bandai Namco Next”, a showcase for “providing information about Video Games, computer games and amusement machines.” which could indicate that an official reveal might be closer than we think.

Indian Team “We Support Farmers” qualifies for PMPL NA: Spring Split

PUBG Mobile Club Open kickstarted the journey of PUBG Mobile Esports in 2021 and as the tournament is coming to an end, new teams are getting added to the list of veterans where they will compete in the upcoming season of PUBG Mobile Pro League. An Indian team has qualified for PMPL Spring Split through the North American region.

PUBG Mobile was the biggest mobile esports title in India before it was banned and this was due to its ever growing popularity in the country. The Indian powerhouses found some ways to represent the country even though the game was banned. Some organizations hired rosters overseas to carry their name while others participated from entirely new region.

PMCO North America has been the tournament where teams represent different parts of the world. The teams are based in NA and yet sport the names of their origins and native places. Three teams with Indian origins were able to qualify for this tournament and while the other two dropped out during the groups and finals, one contender is able to make it to the semi-pro league stages.

The three teams which qualified for PMCO NA were Punjab United, We Support Farmers and HomeTown and out of these three, “We Support Farmers” has made it to further stages. This team barely secured the spot after ranking ninth at the end of PMCO NA Finals and getting the slot with a single point lead.

The roster comprises of new talents as follows:

  • thePAIN
  • razzer5B
  • jazz
  • singh5B
  • ivorian

This team will now compete with the big names in PUBG Mobile Pro League North America: Season One. The list of invited teams is not announced yet but it will comprise of veterans who have made their name in the last season of PMPL NA.

The name of this team appears to be a reference about politics in India and the tournament organizers happen to have ignored the linkage.

CSGO Refutes G2 Esports’ Claims on RMR Capsules

As opposed to some ongoing rumors, it looks like the RMR sticker capsules that were added to CSGO a couple of weeks ago aren’t being discontinued tomorrow, as the developers have confirmed that the exact date of its discontinuation has not yet been revealed.

Earlier today, popular esports organization G2 Esports claimed through a story in their Instagram handle that the RMR capsules would be discontinued tomorrow.

“Last day to get a capsule,” the G2 story said.

https://twitter.com/TtvCallMeJuuls/status/1366437095926075396?s=20

It wouldn’t be surprising if avid CSGO fans and traders thought of it as a good opportunity to invest in these sticker capsules to make some profit off them. However, it looks like the rumors were entirely false, as confirmed by the CSGO developers themselves.

In a tweet released by the official CSGO handle, the developers refuted G2 Esports’ claims on the capsules being discontinued today.

“We have not told teams when RMR stickers will be discontinued and any communication on the matter will be public,” the devs said.

They also explained a method for buyers to get refunds on their sticker capsule purchases they made as a result of that story or for other reasons.

Why Sykkuno doesn’t play on NoPixel

0

Sykkuno has been one of the most popular streamers to come out of 2021 off the back of the Among Us hype train and now that the hype is dying fans want him to shift to the likes of GTA RP.

Fans were their beloved Sykkuno to hop onto the NoPixel server that houses some of the biggest names in Twitch like Summit, xQc, and many more. Now that Among Us has become less efficient in pulling viewers, streamers are shifting to other games that are more fitting to the taste of their audience. Naturally, Role Play is one of the alternatives that is enjoyed by the masses but Sykkuno is reluctant to play it.

“Is it too late? I feel like it’s just too late to join GTA and I’ve been busy,” “Realistically guys, most of my friends aren’t playing GTA like Rae isn’t playing, Corpse isn’t playing, Toast isn’t playing. Almost nobody I know is playing.” said Sykkuno.

“And I know it’s a roleplay game, you don’t have to wait for all your friends to play but let’s be honest guys, I just love playing with my friends. And, if they ask me to play Valorant, there’s a pretty high chance I’m playing Valorant,” he added.

Despite Sykkuno not wanting to enter the world of RP, his fans have shown that there is room for RP content on his channel. The big names on the server would definitely welcome him if he ever chooses to come in search of virtual life in Los Santos.
