Fortnite Fame Arkhram is permanently switching from MKB to Controller

100T Arkhram recently announced that he will be ditching the Mouse/Keyboard permanently for Controller due to superior aim assist.

Diego “Arkhram” Lima is considered one of the best Fortnite player from the NA West region. He currently plays for Esports Organisation 100 Thieves and regularly streams his game on Twitch. 

In his latest stream titled “Solo Arena | Switching to Controller”, the player was seen playing with a controller and had his bot spamming the message, “Yes, actually switching to a controller, Yes it’s a permanent change; Switching cause controller has aimbot & is superior[Using a scuf impact].”

From his message, one thing is clear that Arkhram like other Fortnite Professional’s feel that the aim assist on Controller is overturned, and rather than helping those with a controller, it provides them with a clear advantage over those with MKB setup.

In the past, many players had protested against the rule that allowed players to use controllers in official matches and requested to only allow MKB exclusively in those matches.

Some players even requested Epic to remove the controversial Aim Assist entirely from the game or only keep allow it in casual games. 

Although Epic did listen to their demands and slight tunned the aim assist to be less aggressive, but they still moved with the rule that allowed players to use controllers in official games. This move angered many professional players and the cries of “controller players are cheaters” started to rise again. 

While 100T Arkhram is the first one to ditch MKB in favor of the controller, he won’t be the last professional player who switched to controllers in the future.

Times Network uses CSGO model to report Indo-Pak bi-lateral story

Indian TV networks seem to love using Esports models as part of their graphical display. Popular English News Channel Times Now, part of the successful Times Network, was recently seen using a model from Counter Strike: Global Offensive during a telecast.

The model used is actually part of the models that are visible on the Terrorists inside the popular Esports title CSGO as Times Now explored the speculation of terrorist involvement in the protests against the revocation of Article 370 by the Indian Government, which is currently presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Article 370 was revoked by the Indian Government in August, 2019, thus removing the special status granted to the state of Jammu and Kashmir as a result of the contents of the Article.

The removal of the article was met with a large furore from the citizens of the state and throughout India, in general, with protests being held all across the country and in several parts of the world.

The telecast was exploring the possibility of foreign involvement in the protests and the prospect of them being ‘sponsored’ rather than being a ‘spontaneous’ effort from the citizens and aggrieved people.

PUBG Mobile: Bigetron RA signs Liquid for PMGC Finals

PUBG Mobile Global Championship has completed its league stages and its grand finals is right around the corner. In the preparations of this finals, several organizations are making some changes to their active roster and one of the big names, Bigetron Red Aliens, have also made some interesting additions.

Bigetron RA are the reigning global champions and their roster has never made any significant changes in a long time. The roster comprised of star twins Luxxy and Zuxxy alongside their backbone Ryzen and Microboy. The team has Alice as their reserve player but due to some circumstances, she is not able to attend the PMGC Grand Finals.

Bigetron made an announcement on their social media handle that due to some health concerns, Alice will not play in PMGC and will be replaced by Liquid.

The tweet translates, “With regard to health reasons, we announce that @btr_alicee[Alice] cannot play in the Grand Final of PUBG Mobile Global Championship Season 0, and will be replaced by @btr_liqquid[Liquid].”

Liquid is a well-known player in Indonesian PUBG Mobile pro circuit and will play under the banner of Bigetron RA for PMGC Finals. This player might be replaced after this event or can also be a new addition to the roster in the long run.

PMGC Finals are scheduled from 21st to 24th January in Dubai and looking at the past tournaments played by Bigetron, they rarely shuffle their active roster to bring in the reserve player. Liquid might be a huge addition but it will be interesting to see if BTR decides to change their lineup during the event or not.

Top 3 Twitch Bans Of 2020

Top 3 Twitch Bans Of 2020

2020 has undoubtedly been a harsh year for streamers. From new and stricter DMCA rules being implemented to worlds like ‘simp’ being banned from the platform, the past year has seen it all.

Needless to say, a number of streamers have also received bans from the platform for breaking its rules, some of which are highly controversial.

Let’s take a look back at the top 3 Twitch bans of 2020

  1. Carl Riemer: Carl Reimer is a professional Call of Duty player and a (now former) SoaR Gaming member. On March 5th, the streamer was interacting with his Twitch chat and entertaining his viewers without realizing he might be making a mistake that could potentially cost him his entire career.

“B**** say I ain’t got money,” he casually joked while holding onto his Glock and pulling the trigger. Much to his surprise, the gun discharged on his monitor. Luckily, no one was injured in this incident except for a can of G-Fuel that took injuries it might not recover from.

His Twitch account was immediately suspended and he was dropped from his clan SoaR gaming which they declared through a tweet.

  1. Dr Disrespect: Herschel ‘Dr Disrespect” Breahm has found himself amid a number of controversies this year. However, the reason behind his Twitch ban is still not certain even after all these months.

While Dr Disrespect being banned from Twitch isn’t exactly a new thing, his sudden ban from the streaming platform and his subsequent switch to YouTube Gaming surely caught the millions of his fans off-guard.

  1. Neymar Jr: Following his remarkable success in Soccer, Paris Saint-German forward Neymar Jr has made his debut as a prominent video game streamer and a CSGO enthusiast this year.

However, his Soccer stardom doesn’t make him immune to Twitch bans. Neymar received a ban from the platform following an incident where he intentionally disclosed Richarlison’s contact number on his live stream.

Overwatch Emote Swap Bug: Use Other Characters’ Emotes

A hilarious glitch that was recently discovered in Overwatch has taken the player base of the shooter by storm. The bug allows players to use specific emotes on characters that shouldn’t be able to use them.

While initially it was thought that this was some weird glitch with the game itself, it appears like this is replicable at will. Any player can recreate the bug if they know how to, and that’s exactly what we’re going to show you today.

However, not every emote can be replicated through this bug. Only the emotes that loop can be used by other characters with this glitch.

The tutorial on the replication of this bug was originally posted by YouTuber Jeff Why in his video.

Here’s how you can replicate the bug:

  1. Choose which looping emote you want.
  2. Queue for Mystery Heroes or a game mode where the hero is automatically chosen.
  3. Go to Hero Gallery and find the emote you wish to replicate.
  4. Have the emote selected on your equip wheel when the ‘game found’ message appears on your screen.

That’s it! Once you’re in game, you can use your emote key to perform your desired looping emote which should otherwise be impossible.

G2 Esports to add Zeek as fifth to their Valorant roster

According to a report from neLendirekt from 1pv.fr, G2 Esports might sign Aleksander “Zeek” Zygmunt as their 5th player for Pro Valorant.

In December, the French Organization parted ways with David “Davidp” Prins in a bid to replace the latter with someone who could take up the leadership role on the current roster, something which they lacked till then. This decision was finalized after Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas and his troops were shown the door by Team Heretics at the First Strike. 

After trying out with a couple of players, G2 Esports might round up their roster with the signing of  Aleksander “Zeek” Zygmunt as their fifth player. The 19yo Polish player previously represented the European side nolpenki before the players of the same decided to part ways on a mutual note. Zeek under nolpenki steered the team to the First Strike playoffs where they fell to FPX Esports.

If this deal goes through, Zeek would be expected to give up Sova as his main operator as Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks has already mastered it on the current roster. Along with this, it has also been reported by neLendirekt that Neil “nEiLZiNHo” Finlay, former CS:S and CSGO player has also been trialing with the team and most likely would take up the coaching reigns

With this potential report, G2 Esports Valorant would have:
  • Oscar “mixwell” Canellas
  • Ardis “ardiis” Svarenieks
  • Jacob “pyth” Mourujarvi
  • Patryk “paTiTek” FabrowskiAleksander “zeek” Zygmunt
  • Neil “nEiLZiNHo” Finlay (Coach)
