You can now earn bitcoins by playing CSGO

While playing Valve’s well-known, free-to-play, first-person shooter (FPS) title Counter-Strike: Global Offensive you can soon earn money. Though everyone dreamed of an opportunity to earn by playing video games, only a few professional players, streamers, and influencers achieved it while they enjoyed playing their favorite video games. 

The opportunity to earn for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive underdogs, semi-pros, and several enthusiasts is well on its way.  A Bitcoin startup, ZEBEDEE, will soon launch a platform that would let players earn in Bitcoins while they play CSGO. It will launch its first ten servers later this week with Infuse technology for BTC. The transactions will be handled by Lightning Network.

CEO and co-founder of ZEBEDEE Simon Cowell assert that the hype and excitement among CSGO players are unprecedented.

“The announcement of our Bitcoin integration with CSGO has resonated with gamers in a way I haven’t seen before in blockchain gaming,” Cowell said to Decrypt. “Waitlist sign-ups are already enough to keep our first 10 servers full, so we plan to expand capacity very soon. I have a good feeling that we’ve finally cracked the infiltration of crypto into mainstream gaming,” he further added.

The game has a million concurrent players at times which peaked at 1.3M players in 2020. The esports scene is also highly competitive with rising prize pools besides the hardcore fans.

You will have to download ZEBEDEE’s desktop app to join Infuse technology-powered CSGO servers. Deposit Bitcoins and start playing, your winnings depend on several factors including your kills, deaths, score, pot, etc. Cashing out is simple and can be undertaken at any point in time.

“The biggest revolution will be for ordinary players. “At the moment, esports tournaments are only open to a small elite of pros who win all the money,” said Cowell.

Minecraft YouTuber Dream Releases New Music Video ‘Roadtrip’

If you’ve been actively following the Minecraft community over the past year, there’s not a chance that you’re unfamiliar with ‘Dream’. The Minecraft content creator and speedrunner has gained a whopping 14 million subscribers in his YouTube channel over the course of 2020.

The Minecraft star who, similar to fellow YouTuber ‘Corpse Husband‘, hasn’t revealed his face on the internet yet, is one of the fastest growing channels on the platform right now. Dream has also found himself amid some controversy lately, with allegations surfacing that he had cheated his way through his Minecraft speedruns. 

Putting all the heat behind, on February 4th, Dream uploaded a new music video that has managed to garner the attention of hundreds of thousands of his fans worldwide. This song, titled ‘Roadtrip’, is his first original song and features popular rapper and songwriter PmBata. 

Within only a few hours of the music video going premiering, Dream managed to find himself in the trending section of Twitter, with his fans flooding the social media platform with the hashtag #THANKYOUDREAM, thanking him for bravely entering the world of music. 

The music video gained over 100,000 views in only under a few hours since it premiered, and the numbers still continue to increase steadily. 

Dream Roadtrip Lyrics:

[Intro]
(Secure the bag, know what I’m sayin’? Banrisk on the beat)
(Ayo, Perish, this shit hot, boy)

[Verse 1: Dream]
People change like the tides in the ocean
At least I think or am I dead wrong?
Foot on the brake at the light I don’t notice
I sit and wait until the next song

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dream]
Twenty hours in an old van
Up the east coast through the cold wind
Drove twenty hours by the ocean
Up the east coast, what a road trip

[Chorus: Dream]
Now that interstate is paved with memories
Of a past life I lived when I was eighteen
And evеry winter I think back to what we used to bе
In that past life we lived at eighteen

[Post-Chorus: Dream]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: PmBata]
Uh, I reminisce about a past life
Things change, I get it ’cause nothing lasts, right?
Yeah, and I was thinkin’ ’bout her last night
Scrolling through our memories, debatin’ ’bout our last times
Ayy, for a minute we was cool
Then we flew just a little too close to the sun
Now we finished, now we through
Guess we knew one day we would have to grow up

[Pre-Chorus 2: PmBata]
Twenty hours in an old Ford
Across the Midwest thinking, “What for?”
Drove twenty hours, but it’s hopeless
Across the Midwest, what a road trip

[Chorus: Dream]
Now that interstate is paved with memories
Of a past life I lived when I was eighteen
And every winter I think back to what we used to be
In that past life we lived at eighteen

Valorant Pro ‘Nisay’ Banned by Riot for Cheating

To the surprise of Valorant fans across the globe, the #1 ranked EU Valorant pro ‘NisaY’ has been banned from the competitive shooter by Riot Games for cheating during a ranked game. 

The temporary ban that was delivered today will remain in effect for twelve months. 

This implies that he won’t be able to participate in the upcoming VCT open qualifiers. 

Nisay, however, has denied all the allegations against him through a Tweet posted shortly afterwards. 

https://twitter.com/nisayFPS/status/1357399534389899264?s=19

“I’m not so stupid enough to cheat just because I am Radiant in a competitive match,” Nisay said in his Twitlonger.

He further claimed that Riot banned him under “community pressure” and that they didn’t show any evidence to support the cheating accusations. 

“If they had actually detected that I was cheating, a permanent ban would have been applied,” Nisay continued. 

Following the decision, Nisay was removed from his team Beşiktaş Esports, and his contract was terminated.

After the Nisay’s departure, their current lineup includes:

  • Tuğkan ‘tugkanZ’ Özgün

Autimatic quits Counter Strike, to pursue Valorant at T1

T1 on Twitter have announced the signing of Timothy “Autimatic” Ta to their Professional Valorant roster. 

Under just 24 hours, T1 has made yet another roster change by bringing aboard the ELEAGUE Boston Major winner on their Valorant team, Autimatic. Earlier today, T1 had signed David Denis for the Head Coach position in the team after the latter parted ways with their former coach, Daniel “fRod” Montaner earlier in January.

With the Switch to Valorant, Autimatic ends his seven-year long illustrious career in Counter-Strike. Throughout his time at the same, he represented some highly notable organizations like Team SoloMid, Complexity, Cloud9, and Gen.G where the latter decided to drop their CSGO division in the end.

Soon later, the 24yo North American was linked to a potential project consisting of Robin ‘flusha’ Rönnquist and Miikka ‘suNny’ Kemppi but it eventually fell apart as revealed by the former Fnatic player in an episode of HLTV Confirmed.

Back then, Autimatic’s transfer from Complexity to Cloud9 went on to culminate his career into an esteemed success where he won his first-ever ESL Pro League at Sao Paulo in 2016.

This was followed by Cloud9’s conquest at the DreamHack Open Denver in 2017 alongside a revamped team with Tarik “Tarik” Celik and Will “Rush” Wierzba. They were soon able to convert their team spirit and efforts to a Major Triumph at Boston, barging through their Underdog status to that of a Legend at the same. After being traded off to Gen.G along with Damian “Daps” Steele and Kenneth “Koosta” Suen, the Korean-American side achieved their first-ever success in the CSGO scene at DreamHack Open Anaheim.

As mentioned above, Gen.G recently placed its CS:GO roster on the transfer-list which saw Koosta join their Valorant Division along with BnTeT being traded to EXTREMUM, a project consisting of the Ex-100T quintet. 

At T1, Autimatic will reunite with his ex-teammate, Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham alongside David Denis, his former team Psychologist at Cloud9. According to a thread on Reddit, he is expected to replace Keven “AZK” Larivière on the team’s starting five. 

With this addition, T1 Valorant now has:

  • Sam “DaZeD” Marine (Captain)
  • Timothy “Autimatic” Ta
  • Braxton “Brax” Pierce
  • Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham
  • Ha “Spyder” Jung-woo
  • Keven “AZK” Larivière
  • David Denis (Head Coach)

Vitality enters Valorant

The French Organization Team Vitality on Twitter have announced their entry in Valorant professional scene. 

With the launch of Valorant, Organizations have eagerly invested in this brand new FPS project where they aim to expand their dominance in their respective province.

With FrenzyGoKill’s signing, Vitality has confirmed their entry to Riot’s first-person tactical shooter. Before getting acquired by the French side, FrenzyGoKill was kind of a start-up, a self-dependent team comprising of Bayram “bramz” Ben Redjab, Ouali “M4CHINA” Manset, Vakaris “vakk” Bebravicius, Jokubas “ceNder” Labutis, and Lukas “feqew” Petrauskas. With this move, the European mixture from Lithuania, France, and Tunisia will now play under the banner of one among the famous Organizations in CSGO.

As FrenzyGoKill, this roster recently placed in the 5th-8th position at the Red Bull Home Ground tournament after going down in the Quarterfinals against G2 Esports led by Óscar “Mixwell” Cañellas and his men. Except for vakk, the rest used to compete in CSGO before making the switch to Valorant while the former is known for his time in PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battlegrounds.

We are yet to witness what roles these players would transition into under this brand new banner of Vitality. They are expected to play the Qualifier event of the planned Valorant Champions Tour in a bid to book themselves a spot at the Masters’ event of them and eventually kickstarting their 2021 season with a bang. 

Vitality Valorant Roster will now looks like:

  • Ouali “M4CHIINA” Manset
  • Vakaris “vakk” Bebravičius
  • Jokūbas “Cender” Labutis
  • Lukas “feqew” Petrauskas
  • Bayram “bramz” Ben Redjeb
  • Andrey “fragon” Katz (Coach)

Logan Paul spent $2 million on Pokemon cards

For someone like Logan Paul, money is never an issue, but to spend $2 million on Pokemon Cards is something funny and outrageous at the same time.

Pokimane is undoubtedly one of the greatest anime of the past decade which made collecting Pokemon cards a hobby for every teenager growing up during that time. Logan seems to be one of those kids passionate about Pokemon, and his passion goes to the extent where he is willing to spend $2 Million out of his own pocket for the sake of cards.

“Although I bought [a box] in September for $200K, they’re now selling for the price point that I set: between $300K-$400K. This was slightly troubling considering the same boxes were selling for $510 in 2007.”

“mission accomplished. took 3 months and $2,000,000 to collect these 1st Edition Pokémon Boxes… go watch the new YouTube video, link in bio” said Logan. Not only did he buy it, but his regular unboxing also became one of the most popular series on YouTube where fans were eager to see how Logan’s luck was.

Upon spending an enormous amount of money on Pokemon cards, Logan might just have become the owner of the biggest first hand Pokemon card collection. His unboxing experience was shared in the latest video uploaded on his channel and judging by the number of likes, his fans have definitely enjoyed the session.
