Three players test positive at PUBG Mobile Global Championship Finals (PMGC)

PUBG Mobile Esports has changed their plans to host the grand finals of PUBG Mobile Global Championship at the dedicated venue in Dubai as three of the participants have tested positive to COVID-19. To ensure the safety, the entire tournament will be held in an isolated fashion, away from the planned venue.

The league stages of PUBG Mobile Global Championship were held in an online manner due to the prevailing pandemic and after taking large efforts to bring every qualifying team at a common venue, PUBG Mobile was finally ready to host its first LAN event in a long time but unfortunately, the players will have to compete in a slightly different manner than planned.

The official Facebook handle of PUBG Mobile Esports made this shocking revelation after hyping up the start of this tournament for a long time. PUBG Mobile Global Championship is the pinnacle of the competitive PUBG Mobile where top-teir around the world gather to fight for a grand prize pool. A total of over $1M prize pool is allocated for PMGC 2020.

The officials have not revealed the identities of the players or teams which they belong to. The announcement says, “Following the COVID testing upon entry to the PMGC Finals, three players tested positive for COVID-19. They remain well and have shown no symptoms for now.

They are under self-quarantine, along with those who have been in close contact with them and we are conducting regular testing. Our team is providing all necessary support, including medical assistance from health facilities and we are dedicated to their full recovery.”

The team will follow a ‘contingency plan’ and begin the finale as planned on 21st Jan with players competing in isolation. It is difficult to say if the tournament will be hosted at the venue for the remaining days or not.

ZywOo beats s1mple to emerge as the best player in the world

After a tight-knit race, HLTV has presented Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbautas as the number one player in the world. This year’s rankings had kept the fans on their toes as stats usually speak loud about the potential winner. However, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and ZywOo’s close fight had tied everyone in knots. 

After a close fight, ZywOo has retained his position as the finest player in Counter Strike: Global Offensive. The final announcement of world ranking also reveals Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev as the second-best in the world. 

The 20-year old had become a pivotal part of the French team, propelling the team to various victories in 2020. While he effectively played the team-guy, ZywOo ensured that he remained on top of his game individually as well. 

Vitality’s ace rifler showed his true potential in the second half of the year where he posted incredible performances in the three Regional Major Ranking tournaments and the BLAST Spring Europe Finals. He edged past s1mple with a slight margin, thanks to his ability to get first kills and clutches. The player stands at an impact rating of 1.38, earning him the title of the best player in the world. To top it all, the young star bagged six MVPs and four EVP awards across different tournaments. 

With his incredible AWP plays and laden scoreboard, s1mple is usually the top contender to bag the title. However, the fight for the number one spot on world ranking had gotten a bit dicey in 2020. The top three players of 2019 Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, s1mple, and ZywOo reappeared as potential winners for the number one spot and ended up replicating the last years rankings. This year, Vitality’s gleaming success was attributed to ZywOo’s AWP skills, gaining him an edge over the rest.

While s1mple scored most kills per-round for five years in a row, he lagged in impact rating by a minimal number. The Ukrainian player posted a rating of 1.37, the second-highest rating on HLTV. His spellbinding performance at IEM Katowice earned him an MVP followed by another award at ESL Pro League Season 12, but the player’s award shelf seems empty compared with ZywOo’s six titles. 

s1mple’s HLTV stats

In the past few years, s1mple has easily become the top pick of CSGO fans when it comes to the best player. However, his individual performance isn’t helping him much with a game-winner like ZywOo in competition. The French player helped his team dominate across numerous tournaments in 2020 including IEM Beijing-Haidian and BLAST Fall Finals. 

A quick look at stats shows that both the players have had an incredible 2020, driving them far from other competitors. Both the players’ lowest rating was enough to give other players a run for their money. Despite the close competition, there can only be one winner, and ZywOo has successfully seized that title for the second time in a row. 

Twitch bans Donald Trump Yet Again

0

Amazon’s streaming platform Twitch has disabled former US President Donald Trump’s Twitch channel for an indefinite period.

Twitter and Facebook handed a permanent ban to Trump with the former revoking it after he served a brief spell away from the platform.

Twitch has followed suit, banning him from their platform for an indefinite period, thus preventing him to reach out to his millions of supporters via live streams, as Twitch believes this is how they might prevent their platform “from being used to incite further violence”.

“In light of yesterday’s shocking attack on the Capitol, we have disabled President Trump’s Twitch channel,” the company said in a statement. “Given the current extraordinary circumstances and the President’s incendiary rhetoric, we believe this is a necessary step to protect our community and prevent Twitch from being used to incite further violence.” said Twitch to CNN.

US President Donald Trump’s persistent endeavors to invert the aftereffects of the 2020 political race crossed the line when an outfitted armed crowd of his supporters attacked Capitol Hill as Congress gathered to approve Joe Biden’s official success, resulting in a woman getting seriously shot.

Mark Zuckerberg banned Trump from Facebook and Instagram “for at least two weeks until the peaceful transfer of power is complete.” This step of his motivated other platforms to follow suit.

Several other social/entertainment media platforms have followed the footsteps of Twitch and disallowed Trump to reach out to his supporters via their platform, in case it helps to somewhat cool off the protesters at Capitol Hill. After the crowd caused a mess over at the government building, Washington DC has been put under lockdown keeping the security of citizens in mind.

Valorant thrilled with response, assessing esports plans for India, South Asia

0

Riot Games’ foremost 5-on-5 tactical first-person shooter (FPS) seems to have big plans for South Asia and India. Launched in June 2020, Valorant gained massive popularity consistently across regions. The game was launched in a phased manner across countries amid the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the enthusiasts took no time to find ways to access the game before its release in their respective countries.

While it broke viewership records on Twitch in the beta phase itself, the game witnessed 1.7 million concurrent viewers in the first week of April 2020. However, as the previous year was essentially overshadowed by the pandemic, esports had its own share of hassle. A lot of events were canceled initially, though, the latter part of the year saw numerous online events lined up.

Riot Games scheduled its first event First Strike in October 2020 to establish regional champions. On the other hand, several organizations hosted community events that were whole-heartedly welcomed by the masses across Europe and North-America. 

India and South Asia too witnessed a series of events with massive registrations and viewership numbers. To name a few, Skyesports League 2020, Agni Series by Nodwin and India Today League: Valorant Cup among others are some of the prominent Valorant events of 2020.

Recognizing the potential, Valorant is overseeing and paying attention to the region. In a Tweet earlier today, Valorant said, “We’re thrilled with the response to our launch of VALORANT in India and South Asia and are assessing our plans for next steps on our presence in the region, including esports.” It further thanked the players for their love and support.

The developers have been actively listening to the region and they have duly established its presence with local servers to provide lag-free and low-ping competitive matchups. Riot has, earlier, revealed a road map for esports in 2021. It will be interesting to see what the developers have in store for India and South Asia.

Gootecks responds to Twitch removing his PogChamp emote

0

Ex-Street Fighter pro and Cross Counter TV owner Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez has responded to Twitch’s removal of PogChamp emote by uploading a new response video talking about Twitch’s decision to remove the original PogChamp emote and how it’s wrong. 

On January 6 right after the failed extremist attack on US Capitol, Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez tweeted out asking his fans on Twitter if there would be a “civil unrest for the woman who was executed inside the Capitol”. Shortly after his tweet went viral, Twitch acted quickly and deemed that Gooteck’s tweet about the Capitol violence goes against the platform’s TOS and was “encouraging further violence”. Right after that, Twitch removed the PogChamp emote.

“We’ve made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today.“

“We want the sentiment and use of Pog to live on – its meaning is much bigger than the person depicted or image itself– and it has a big place in Twitch culture. However, we can’t in good conscience continue to enable the use of the image.”

Twitch swiftly implemented a new solution and decided to introduce a “New PogChamp” emote daily featuring various streamers on the platform.

Announcing the response video on Twitter, Gooteck tweeted out saying

“I got been locked out of Twitter for tweets about [HCQ] on 08/04, not the video I posted 01/06. 

Twitch has chosen to remove the PogChamp emote from the platform(?) as a response to a tweet.

My response will be on YouTube soon.”

While the new solution is working as intended, the original face of PogChamp emotes Gooteck was unhappy with the way Twitch handled the situation. In the response video uploaded on his Cross Counter TV Youtube Channel, Gooteck pointed out inconsistencies in the actions of both Twitter and Twitch. While his Tweet was deemed “unwanted and inciting violence” by Twitch, the social media site in question — Twitter didn’t take any action against his Tweet and only locked his account temporarily for another tweet.

Popular Twitch streamer and former Overwatch pro Jehong ‘Ryujehong’ Ryu has been suspended from team Gen.G following an incident where he reportedly made sexist remarks during a live stream on Twitch.

It hasn’t been long since Jehong has been a part of Gen.G squad, though. The Seoul-based organization announced the news of Jehong joining them on January 11, 2021.

The incident didn’t pass by Gen.G unnoticed, as the org announced on January 19th that they were indefinitely suspending Jehong for his behavior.

“Our belief is that whether you are a player or streamer, anybody with a platform should understand the responsibility of the higher standards that come with it. As such, we have suspended all of Jehong’s team-related activities indefinitely,” said Arnold Hur, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer of Gen.G.

The duration of Jehong’s ban from Gen.G is still unclear, and it remains to be seen if he gets an opportunity to return to the org in future.

Tommyinnit says he stream sniped shroud before he became a Twitch bigshot

0

Shroud has established himself as one of the biggest content creators to have embraced the streaming industry, many judged his decision to leave professional Counter-Strike to pursue a career in streaming, but his success silenced all haters. His growth brought admirers and Minecraft star Tommyinnit turns out to be one of them.

Stream sniping is when someone watches a streamer while playing on the same server with them to gain unfair information that gives them an upper hand against the streamer. However, some of the shroud’s snipers were a bit different, instead of killing them they rather help him fend off enemies.

They shared guns, armors, and several other resources, including proving fire backup when the streamer was backed in a corner. Tommyinnit comes out as one of those admirers.

14 at the time, Tommyinnit admired Shroud and his PUBG streams, which motivated him to wait for hours to queue into a game with Shroud. Once he got into the game, instead of killing him, Tommy would help him fight enemies, help him find guns and resources. After following this trend for a few games, shroud realized what was going on and acknowledged his presence.

Tommyinnit comes clean about stream sniping but it is little for everyone to complain about as he never used the unfairly gained information to use it to get an upper hand rather help Shroud in every opportunity he got. He is arguably the biggest streamer on Twitch right now after his newfound success in 2020. Twitch will probably let Tommy off the hook as everyone likes a little banter.
