Symfuhny’s Warzone DMR 14 loadout

0

Since the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops on Battle.net, the new weaponry in the same has brought yet another choice of loadouts in the former’s Warzone game mode. The new DMR 14 has been acknowledged as the most powerful weapon as of now which is believed to K/O or even kill your opponent in just 3 shots.

The new DMR 14 can create havoc if you use the same for medium-ranged fights. It is as brutal as any Auto-rifle (mentioned above) where you will require just 2 bullets to convert it into a Headshot kill. Earlier the game didn’t have any muzzle options for the DMR 14 but the players could soon attach the default Agency Silencer to it.

Recently, Twitch streamer Symfuhny on his stream revealed his loadout for the DMR 14 which did make the community go lucky to use this weapon with a deadly loadout, all thanks to the one and only 21yo North American.

The DMR Loadout of Symfuhny

  • Muzzle – Agency Silencer
    Symfunhy uses the Agency Silencer, a default muzzle attachment provided by the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This attachment resembles the Monolithic Suppressor from Modern Warfare in terms of recoil calibration.
  • Barrel – 20.8″ Task Force
    Along with this muzzle, the 20.8” Task Force Barrel could help one in achieving improved parameters like damage, range along bullet velocity.
  • Underbarrel – Field Agent Foregrip
    Along with this muzzle, the 20.8” Task Force Barrel could help one in achieving improved parameters like damage, range along bullet velocity.
  • Magazine – 30 Round Mags
  • Optic – Axial Arms, 3x3x Optics can be a charm if you engage in some mid-ranged fights, but in our opinion, it all falls upon the player. The longer the fights, the greater the sight aperture.

Counter-Strike is the most popular online team shooter in history, and for good reason. Starting out as a Half-Life modification on the Goldsource engine, CS 1.6 grew in popularity and became one of the most popular first-person shooters of all time.

As a mod of Half-Life, it was released in its beta Phase in June 1999 before being launched in a fully-fledged version. More than a decade on, it is still the best and the most entertaining game of its type with best settings and is the best place for gamers to really show their mouse skills. 

Today on Christmas, we look back at one of the maps from 1.6 and Source versions, de_snow. Like other FPS titles and games who have already come up with snow designed maps and similar DLCs, you can now celebrate your holidays with your clan by hosting a scrimmage party on this wonderful winter-themed map. 

If you wish to relive these nostalgic memories, head to GAMEBANANA.com and download the addon for your game version. It is available for both the versions of Counter Strike, 1.6 and Source as well. 

No penalty for users playing PUBG Mobile Korean version

0

The Indian Esports industry was divided recently on the debate of whether it was ethical and legal for content creators and streamers in the country to play the Korean version of PUBG Mobile in their videos or on their streams respectively.

The controversial topic stretched to a point that a certain law student by the name of Prasoon Shekhar filed an RTI to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for clarification on a few grounds mentioned below:

Prasoon Shekhar had sought the following information in his application under the Right to Information Act: 1.

  1. Provide the provision of law that governs what happens if somebody disobeys the ban imposed on Chinese applications like PUBG Mobile.
  2. What is the maximum punishment and penalty that can be imposed on the defaulter, if at all?
  3. Provide the number of persons prosecuted (till date of reply to RTI application) for violating the imposed ban and restrictions on Chinese applications.

In the reply to the RTI, MeitY have clarified that there is no such provision and that while the ban is imposed and standing, there is no prescribed penalty for the users that have violated the said ban.

MeitY does not ban any app. However, blocking of specified apps was done under the provisions of Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, specially according to the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking Access of Information by the Public) Rules, 2009. Section 69A of the Act provides for penalty to intermediaries for non-compliance of the blocking order. However, no penalty is prescribed for individual users of such apps.”, MeitY said in their reply to the RTI.

This clears the air about the potential of streamers and content creators coming under the scanner or perhaps, even incurring penalty or punishment for accessing and/or playing the Korean version of PUBG Mobile.

Here’s What Opponents Saw When Playing Against Forsaken’s ‘Word.exe’

Forsaken is undoubtedly one of the most infamous names in CSGO history. Only 4 months after he was signed for team ‘OpTiC India’, he was caught in a cheating scandal during the eXTREMESLAND 2018 Asia Finals. The entire roster of OpTiC India got released following the incident, and the org ceased its operations in India.

Forsaken was served with a 5-year-ban by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) for cheating during the tournament. His hacks, which were named ‘word.exe’ on his PC, went viral on the internet after the news surfaced worldwide.

Recently, YouTuber Avi Thour has released a compilation of the opponents’ POV when playing against Forsaken and his ‘word.exe’ hacks in CSGO.

We can see the players in the video getting headshot almost instantly after engaging in a duel against Forsaken, sometimes even before seeing his player model. From the video, it’s almost obvious how blatant Forsaken’s cheats were.

Previously, we have seen the owner of OpTic Gaming, Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez, commenting on Forsaken’s cheating scandal. “If we were in Mexico, I’d approach him in a f**king different way in a situation like that,” Rodriguez said, back in October.

CSGO Pro ‘linaaa’ Gets Engaged With Dota 2 Pro ‘w33’

In what can be expected to be heartwarming news for Dota and Counter-Strike fans alike, celebrated Dota 2 pro and team Nigma star Aliwi “w33” Omar is now engaged to CSGO player and FACEIT admin  Lina “Linaaa” Al-Sharif. 

The news was initially shared by Linaaa through her social media handles along with an attached picture of their engagement ring.

w33 reposted Linaaa’s story on his own Instagram profile afterward.

The 25-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best midlaners, if not the best midlaner in Dota 2 currently. His most significant achievements include attaining 2nd place finishes in The International twice in 2016 and 2019 respectively.

For the unaware, The International is the biggest Dota 2 tournament organized annually and the biggest tournament in all of esports in terms of the prize pool.

Skyesports Valorant League 2020 enters Playoffs Stage

0

The Skyesports Valorant League 2020 presented by AMD Ryzen is set to get into the business end of the current iteration of the flagship event. Boasting of the highest single-event prizepool in South Asia, with a million in Indian Rupees up for grabs, the group stage has ended and the semi-finals are set to begin on Boxing Day.

The group qualifiers produced great entertainment value that resulted in record-breaking numbers. In the broadcast that spanned over 20 days and had 7 different streams based on broadcast language, Skyesports broke their own record in terms of viewership, garnering 2.5 million compared to their previous highest number, 2 million. This also made it the highest viewed single event Valorant Tournament/League in South Asia.

All the matches and broadcasts were done on Skyesports’ YouTube Channel, which boasted of a concurrent high of 12,000 viewers across all 7 broadcasts combined, garnering around 12 million watch minutes in the process.

The choice of an inclusive coverage for regional Valorant fans paid dividend for Skyesports, with such numbers proof of the success of their vision to ensure coverage for all types of Valorant fans based in all corners of the country.

The first semi-final will happen on December 26 on 2pm IST, with another ‘El Clasico’ featuring Team Hyderabad and Team Bengaluru duelling it out for a place in the Grand Finals. Hyderabad had the upper hand in both of their bouts against Team Bengaluru in the group stage and it will be interesting to see if the Global Esports powered Bengaluru side can turn the tables this time around.

The second semi-final sees Team Kolkata take on Team Rajasthan on December 27 at 2pm IST. Team Rajasthan gained momentum as the event progressed and ended the season level on points with Team Kolkata, which makes this encounter a much more intriguing as there is little to differentiate the two teams.

One is a concoction of the best individual stars in the Valorant scene while the other boasts of the GodLike Esports Valorant squad. It will be intriguing to see who comes out on top in this fixture – GodLike Esports or their new star signing, Debanjan ‘DeathMaker’ Das.

The losers of the two semi-finals will then meet each other in the Third Place Decider, which is scheduled to take place on December 28 at a yet undisclosed timing.

The Grand Final of the Skyesports Valorant League 2020 will see the winners on December 26 and 27 battle it out for the winners tag and a sweet purse of 400,000 INR to go along with it.

Make enough space in the vicinity of the tree before shaking it. Just like fruits, ornaments will disappear if they cannot find any space. Having space will eliminate one reason for ornaments not making their way to the ground.
