Mousesports release Karrigan

Mousesports on Twitter have announced that they have parted company with Finn “Karrigan” Anderson. 

After 23 months, Karrigan and Mousesports have mutually parted ways, the German side today revealed on their social media platforms. With just a few weeks left for his contract to expire at the same, the 30yo Dane is relieved of his duties at Mousesports and soon expected to join his former team FaZe Clan whom he represented from 2016 till 2018. In the “Flow Podcast”, he was recognized by Coldzera as the best In-game leader from across the globe along with Lukas “⁠gla1ve⁠” Rossander, and Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo.

Under Mousesports, Karrigan did showcase a showstopper performance by winning the ESL Pro League S10 finals followed by their first-ever Cs_summit 5 title. At the latter’s 7th iteration, Mousesports bagged the runner-up spot after they were denied the championship by CIS side, Virtus.Pro. He was recently replaced by Christopher “⁠dexter⁠” Nong from Renegades on the active roster, who will be debut with the European mixture at the IEM Katowice Play-in tournament against his now-former team.

We might soon witness FaZe Clan reveal the final piece to their puzzle after Olof “⁠olofmeister⁠” Kajbjer stepped down from the roster earlier today. The former played his last tournament at the ongoing Blast Spring where he steered his team to qualify for the tournament’s final event to be later held in June 2021. 

Karrigan in a statement added,

“When passion turns to work it’s difficult not to get personally attached to the people you are striving to reach the top with. The entire team has become family, and I want to thank everyone who has been part of this journey. Thank you, @mousesports. I will never forget it.”

Clix banned on Twitch for the third time

Cody ‘Clix’ Conrod has been banned on Twitch for the third time with speculations of a permanent ban looming over his head.

NRG pro player Clix was handed his third ban from Twitch which raised concern for his fans, as 3rd one counts as a final ban before parting ways with Twitch. The news is especially disturbing as Clix maintains a busy Twitch channel that rocks over 3.5 million followers and given his background as a pro player, his streams are embraced with around 10,000 concurrent watchers on a daily basis.

His ban was handed for violating the Twitch community guidelines that forbid explicit content on their platform. Though it was an accident on Clix’s part, it wasn’t enough to convince Twitch out of handing him a ban.

“Bro, what the f***, I’m banned on Twitch,” he said. “Perma ban… on everything I love,” added Clix. He further revealed that the ban is indefinite and the ban will only be lifted upon successful appeal.

According to Andy Miller the CEO of NRG, they are keeping a tab on the issue and aiming for a possible fix. Clix will be left in a dilemma until a conclusive result is achieved from his org’s appeals, till then, the possibility of a permanent ban will keep him awake at night.

Free Fire: How to get more kills in Kalahari

Free Fire is a well-known battle royale game and has many maps in its arsenal. Some of the maps like Bermuda have existed for a long time but there are occasional new additions and Kalahari was one of them. This map is not new but stands out because of its odd terrain and dusty landscape. If you want to master this map and score a high number of kills, use the tips given below.

Kalahari is a sandy map in Free Fire with many mountains and hilly areas that could be used to scout the enemies. The majority of this map is just an open area so it is quite easy to set up traps and play tactically. It is not exactly a specific method through which you can get kills and completely depends on the situation but following these tips might assist you to get more kills than usual.

Pick Hotdrop locations

If you want to go for a double-digit number of kills, it is important to be brave and take risks from the very start. You need to jump into the most hotspot location in Kalahari and try to contest entire squads from the beginning. There is a slight advantage if you are on the aggressive side because you are ready to face the opponents and but they do not expect quick combat.

Hotdrop to big cities and pick up whichever guns you find nearby and rush towards the enemies. If they do not find enough loot, you can easily take them down and get a high number of kills at the very start.

Move from cover to cover

It is important to play tactically while aiming for a good number of kills. If you just blindly rush it, chances of getting taken down are very high so make sure to make good decisions and position yourself in such a way that you will have an advantage over the opponents.

The most basic way to do so is just to take cover while traveling and hold high ground locations. This helps in scouting out enemies and even if you need to take fights on the go, you will have a hardcover as compared to your opponents and hence it will be easy to kill them.

Scout for enemies

Scouting is a necessary skill that is required to win games in battle-royale games. If you want to become decent then you should be aware of your surroundings and always keep an eye on small things. It can be sound effects of cars or things like rendering which will make you aware that enemies are nearby.

After spotting the enemy, instantly take a favourable position and take them out.

Use Sniper Rifles

This is one of the essential things to do in Kalahari. It is a big map and you will fight long-range battles more often in the late game. When you clear the jump locations, look out for good loot and pick up a sniper with a good scope. This sniper could then be used for scouting as well as taking down enemies from a distance.

These are the tips that might help you to get a good amount of kills in Kalahari in Free Fire. Some of them are basic but remember that having a basic approach will set the games in your favor and even help you win them in the end.

Free Fire Vehicles: How to pick correct vehicle in every situation

Free Fire is a battle-royale title and even though the maps are comparatively smaller than other traditional battle-royale games, it still requires a lot of traveling to get into the safe zones and acquire a stronghold. One of the most important parts of playing strategically is using correct vehicles and rotation paths in Free Fire.

Garena has given many options for its Free Fire player base where they can select the vehicle of their own choice but to know which one to take in every situation is important. Selecting a random car could be your go-to option but if you put in some extra effort and get the correct vehicle, it may increase your chances of winning. Here is the list of vehicles available in Free Fire and how to use them in several situations.

Jeep

Jeep is the most stable vehicle in Free Fire. It has decent speed and acceleration to take you to various places in a short amount of time and is sturdy enough to tank some damage. Overall, you can blindly pick a Jeep if you come across one. This vehicle is quite popular and probably the most used car in Free Fire.

Monster Truck

As the name suggests. Monster Trucks are humongous versions of Jeep but without much cover. They have large wheels which can help you to tread mountainous terrain but they are not suitable for places like straight roads or cities. If you pick a monster truck to travel across an open plot or city areas, chances of getting killed are very large as the speed is comparatively slower with scarce cover.

Motorcycle

This is the fastest vehicle available in Free Fire. A motorcycle or a bike is very suitable if you are the lone survivor of the team or are playing in solo or duo mode. As the housing space is only limited to two, using a motorcycle in squad matches is not a good choice. As the speed is very high, you can dash across the map in a small amount of time. The motorcycle should be used only if you are playing solo or if you are in a hurry to get into the safe zone.

Pickup Truck

A pickup truck is not a viable option to use in any condition. It is a sturdy truck with slow speed and lacks a cover. It can be compared to the monster truck but still, we do not recommend using it. If you do not find any other vehicle in the vicinity, then use a pickup truck as a temporary mode of travel and find other vehicles nearby.

Sports Car

The last vehicle on this list is a sports car. As per the name, a Sports car is a fancy vehicle with fast speed but lacks sustainability. You can pick a sports car to travel fast and in style but chances of getting blown up are pretty high. Pick this vehicle if you need to travel through straight roads across various cities and do not use it in hilly areas or any space with unstable topography.

This is everything you need to know about the vehicles in Free Fire. The veteran players can understand car preferences very easily and select the best ones as per the situation but classifying vehicles for newbies is important.

Olofmeister parts ways with FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan on Twitter have confirmed Olof “⁠olofmeister⁠” Kajbjer’s departure from their CS:GO division.

As earlier reported by TalkEsport, Olofmeister has finally decided to step down from FaZe and would evaluate the options for his future. After the win over Team Liquid in their Blast Premier Spring opener, Olof in an interview expressed that he hasn’t made up his mind to yet retire from competition. Earlier today, he revealed Blast Spring to be his last tournament under the David “Coldzera” Marcelo led side where the team qualified for the Spring Finals to be held in June 2020.

Olofmeister will be ending his 4-year long illustrious career at FaZe, where during his time at the same, he helped the European club to bag the runner-up title after falling to Cloud9 in the Grand Finale at the ELEAGUE Boston Major’18.

A former member of Fnatic, Olof signed for FaZe Clan in 2017 and most notably helped the team to first-place finishes at the Esl One New York’17, ECS Season 4 Finals followed by two championships at the Blast Pro series in 2019. Olof, who was on a hiatus until October 2020, chose to once again step in for FaZe after he was poised to fill in the void left by Nikola “NiKo“ Kovac on the active roster which saw the latter joining the multi-talented french side G2 Esports.

Lately, Finn “Karrigan” Anderson, the In-game leader at Mousesports had been linked to his former team whom he represented from 2016 till 2018 after he was recognized by Coldzera as the best In-game leader from across the globe along with Lukas “⁠gla1ve⁠” Rossander, and Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo.

According to Coldzera, FaZe will announce their fifth player in either March or April. The European side had recently signed Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken from Team Liquid which saw Kjaerbye moving to the bench. Olofmeister’s Tweet suggests he may be taking a break from competing, although his future still remains unclear. 

With Olof’s departure, FaZe Clan are now :

  • Håvard “⁠rain⁠” Nygaard
  • Marcelo “⁠coldzera⁠” David
  • Helvijs “⁠broky⁠” Saukants
  • Russel “⁠Twistzz⁠” Van Dulken
  • Markus “⁠Kjaerbye⁠” Kjærbye (benched)

Gamers can now rent Movie Theater Screens to play games

Korea’s largest cinema chain, CGV. Cinemas’ is now renting out their cinema screens to gamers for two hours at $90 (£65) only. 

With many Cinemas closed or having heavy restrictions across the world due to Coronavirus precautions, a cinema company in Korea has come up with the nifty little idea of renting out its cinema screens to gamers in an attempt to tempt cinemagoers and like-wise cut down on losses. 

CGV Cinemas came up with a scheme called “Azit-X” (or Hideout-X in simple English). In the Azit-X scheme, gamers can rent out a whole auditorium for up to four people for two hours at $90 (£65). This cost then rises to $135 in the evening after 6 pm. Users have to bring their consoles, games, and controllers while the CGV will assist in the setup. 

Since the inception of this service, more than 130 times the auditoriums have been booked. The majority of customers are said to be men in their 30s or 40s. While the company isn’t making anywhere as much money from the gamers when compared to the sale of movie tickets that generally cost around $12 each, the Azit-X helps CGV to bring in some additional income.

According to BBC, CGV employee Seung Woo Han came up with the idea after he realized that films and video games share many similarities.

“When thinking about how to make use of empty cinema spaces, I noticed that games nowadays boast excellent graphics and well-structured stories just like movies,” he said. “Both have a storytelling aspect to them, so if someone can enjoy watching a film in the cinema, I thought they would also enjoy playing computer games in one.”

CGV isn’t the only cinema chain renting out its screens to gamers. Malco Theatres, a US-based Cinema chain has been doing the same since November. Malco allows up to 20 people to hire a screen at its 36 cinemas across the country for $100 for two hours or $150 for three.

Cyberpunk 2077’s and The Witcher 3’s stolen source code sold at a dark web auction

Just a week ago, CDPR revealed on Twitter that they fell victim to a ransomware attack which resulted in their data being encrypted and stolen. The stolen data included the source codes for Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Witcher 3 Remastered, Gwent and more titles that CDPR had worked on not only that but legal and HR documents were stolen off by the hackers,

CDPR stated that they “will not give in to the demands nor negotiate with the actor, being aware  that this may eventually lead to the release of the compromised data.” They also assured their ex-employees regarding the incident, “To our ex employees: As of this moment, we don’t possess evidence that any of your personal data was accessed. However, we still recommend caution (i.e. enabling fraud alerts).”

Just a day after the said attack, an auction for the stolen data was held on a dark web forum and the bid started at $1 million. However, another party outside the auction managed to buy the compromised data at $7 million as reported by KELA. The buyer also demanded that the data should not be leaked or sold ever again.

What is Hololive?

Over the course of the past year, Virtual YouTubers, or VTubers for short, have taken the internet by storm. In fact, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably familiar with a number of such VTubers yourself. Some prominent examples of popular VTubers include ‘Kizuna AI’,  who is often regarded as the first widely known VTuber, ‘Gawr Gura’, or ‘Projekt Melody’.

For the unaware, VTubers are just like your everyday YouTubers and streamers who play video games or entertain their audience. However, instead of using a facecam, they use a ‘virtual avatar’ while streaming, which many people find more interesting and entertaining.

Hololive 

Hololive Production, or simply Hololive, is a VTuber talent agency owned by Japanese company Cover Corp. Originally created in December 2019, the company currently manages a total of 52 active VTubers.

Some of the well-known members from the Hololive team include Gawr Gura, Inugami Korone, Shirakami Fubuki, Usada Pekora, and Mori Calliope. A lot of the talents also have their separate YouTube channels.

This rapid growth of VTubers over the past year has led many popular streamers and YouTubers like Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg to create virtual avatars of their own.

As of September 2020, Hololive-affiliated VTubers had more than 10 million combined subscribers on both YouTube and Chinese video platform Bilibili.

Also, a recent YouTube report shows that VTuber views have grown to over 1.5 Billion views per month by October 2020, which goes on to prove how much has the industry evolved last year. Needless to say, the rate of growth continues to escalate further this year.
