Columbian streamer Alinity is set to take a break from streaming after an announcement by her on Twitter cited health reasons for this move.

“Hello friends, I need to take a break from streaming and social media. I will see you all when I get back,” she said today, without giving details on when she would return to the gaming site.

Earlier on December 20th, she gave hints regarding the same, saying that her streams would be shorter due to her health. As reported by Twitch Tracker, her streams went down 4 fold from 8 hours to just 2.

“I am pretty sick. Not fun stuff. I will be around less for a little while. Streams will be short and sporadic, gotta look after my health,” she tweeted.

Alinity joins JackSepticEye and Pokimane in taking a sabbatical from streaming in 2020, both of whom took a break due to being stressed and not feeling in the best of mental states to stream.

Having gained more than 300k followers this year, she has not lost too much traction, whilst averaging more than 1.5k viewers. Her supporters will hope for her to be back in action in 2021.

Valorant Might Be Getting A Story Mode In Future

0

The Valorant lore is vast, and while players are given the general idea of the background of the agents, not much is known about the in-depth lore behind each character in the game. According to a leak, Valorant might get a story mode in the future.

From time to time again, fans have put forward the demand of elaborating the Valorant lore in front of Riot Games.

In the latest blog post of ‘Ask Valorant’, the developers have responded to the community and have shared their plans about the future of Valorant.

While a story mode may not be arriving in Valorant in the near future, it’s still very much on the table, especially since it’s in high demand among the player base.

“It’s definitely our goal for players to discover more about Agents and their stories in the future. Right now, some of those details are seeded into the game itself, in Player Cards, Character VO, etc. —there are a lot of places where you can find and piece together snippets! However, a traditional story mode is not in our current plans but….never say never. Our goal is always to listen to players and so we will continue to adapt and create experiences based on what you are telling us you want.”

Currently, Valorant is strictly a multiplayer shooter where players are matched 5v5 in unrated or competitive game modes. Modes like ‘Deathmatch’ or ‘Spike Rush’ are also popular among the fans of the title.

Heroic draw criticism from CSGO community over duality of ‘team morals’ talk

Popular esports organization Heroic is facing backlash over the duality of their statements issued over time-related to incidents involving their CSGO roster.

Earlier in the year, as punishments were handed out to coaches in the CSGO scene for exploiting the spectator bug, Nicolai ‘ HUNDEN’ Petersen, Heroic’s Coach, was found guilty of using it for a total of 21 rounds and was thus handed an 8-month ban as part of ESL’s competitive ruling on the widespread incident.

Heroic suspended HUNDEN but it was later revealed that the Danes continued to work with the Counter Strike icon in a similar capacity, has not hired a new Coach.

Recently, Heroic issued a statement lauding their team morals and ethics and deemed the player cam reactions after a win worthy of introspection. The organization revealed that they had appointed a Chief Cultural Officer in Troels Robl in an attempt to inculcate a better culture within the organization while also extending their apologies to anyone affected by it.

Heroic CSGO Statement

This statement was in stark contrast to their stance and behavior with the HUNDEN incident as they suspended their coach at face value but continued to work with someone who was indicted of cheating or gaining an unfair advantage in official ESL events.

Several members of the CSGO scene commented on the duality of Heroic’s statements and behavior, with former FAZE CLAN coach Janko ‘YNk’ Paunovic and pro player turned analyst Jacob ‘Pimp’ Winneche among others highlighting the same through their respective Twitter accounts.

How To Thaw All The Shards Out in Genshin Impact

0

Dragonspine region was introduced as a part of the holiday season update and brings a wide range of new quests along with it.

In The Mountains Quest Iris tasks you to explore the Dragonspine region where you are required to thaw the three shards. Make sure to thaw the shards in order upon which the powerful wind will stop blowing to go deeper into this snowy region. The shards are spread across the snowy region in challenging spots that won’t be easy to get your hands on.

First Shard Location

The first is the hardest to get. Make your way to the Waypoint near Wyrmrest Valley. Upon reaching you will find a Warming Seelie flying between the pillars that hold the key to the puzzle. Use a Cryo to freeze the pillars in the order the Seelie moves around. Once you solve the puzzle, Ruin Graders will come to life and try to kill you. Killing them in return will shatter the ice in the middle of this area letting you make your way downwards. Find the four pieces of Scarlet Quartz and solve the puzzle before smashing the shard in the center.

Second Shard Location

The second location is under Starglow Cavern. You will find a series of tunnels and keep following it from the left-most tunnel and you will reach the second shard. Similar to the first shard, you need to assemble four Scarlet Quartz pieces before smashing the shard. Three pieces can be found up to this point however a nearby time trial to earn you the fourth piece. The trial will have you kill enemies in the given time. Smash the 3rd shard once you complete the puzzle.

Third Shard Location

Find the Scarlet Quartz near the Frostbearing Tree before smashing the shard. This will by far be the simplest yet the most boring one, given the fact it takes up a lot of your time.

Australian CSGO Player Receives 1 Year Ban for Falsifying Documents

0

Australian CSGO Player Tyson “asap” Paterson has received a year ban from Dreamhack, ESL, and ESEA tournaments and leagues for falsifying documents on his age in attempts to participate in an age-restricted tournament.

On November 28, ESL Australia organizes a 2v2 CSGO tournament with an age-restriction of 18+. After Paterson signed up to compete in the tournament, ESL officials initiated an age-verification process since his age was submitted as 17 in previous tournaments.

Paterson proceeded to provide the officials with a fake date-of-birth. When he was asked to provide verification, he submitted a falsified document altering his actual date-of-birth. ESL’s request for video material to verify the authenticity of the provided document was denied.

“Following the gathering of the falsified document and additional information, the player was informed about a possible suspension,” ESL stated in their blog post. “The player then went on to send a video of the real ID and admitted that he was indeed 17 and after some further talking he admitted that he had sent in a false ID to try and get around the 18+ restriction.”

The Australian CSGO player Paterson has been served with a year-long ban on account of him providing falsified documents to ESL. The ban is active from 2/12/2020.

s1mple defeats Dendi in Dota 2 and CSGO Showmatches

Natus Vincere star Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and its former member Danil “Dendi” Ishutin went head-to-head against each other in a showmatch organized by the Ukranian organization as a part of their birthday celebration.

The showmatch saw Na’Vi being divided into two teams under CEO Yevhen Zolotarov and co-founder Alexander “ZeroGravity” Kokhanovskyy.

Here are the teams from the showmatch:

Zolotarov’s ‘Team CEO’ 

  • ALWAYSWANNAFLY,
  • Iceberg
  • S1mple
  • m0NESY
  • Evelone

ZeroGravity’s ‘Team Zero’ 

  • Ceh9
  • Edward
  • Dendi
  • XBOCT. 

After an intense Dota 2 game, s1mple’s ‘Team CEO’ managed to come out on top by defeating Dendi’s team in the 33rd minute. Team CEO’s continued to dominate their opposition even in the CSGO game, as they took down Team Zero once again in the iconic Counter-Strike map Dust 2.

While s1mple’s victory in CSGO doesn’t come as a surprise to most fans, Dendi’s defeat in the game of Dota 2, in which he was once considered to be one of the best players in the title, can certainly come as a shock.

The event was livestreamed on Twitch and managed to hit a peak viewership of just under 85,000 with an average viewership of over 60,000.

Allu speaks out on Twitter

In a Twitter thread, Aleksi ‘Allu’ Jalli has clarified about the ongoing internal problems in the ENCE camp which saw the Finnish organization part ways with Miikka ‘suNny’ Kemppi.

Amidst the current claims that were made post the HLTV.org Confirmed episode where Allu was the guest-invitee, the latter has now acknowledged them to be “Very Absurd”.

Since they finished as the runner-ups at the IEM Katowice 2019 after falling to the Danish Powerhouse Astralis in the grand finale, ENCE came out to be on the top after a dream run against the top teams at the same.

But things started to go haywire as they parted ways with their IGL “Aleksi ‘Aleksib’ Virolainen who was later replaced by suNny. The Finnish Organization seemed to hit a slump as they went on to lose a plethora of matches at tournaments. 

In the last week at the HLTV.org Confirmed series, allu opened up about the team’s recent form where he also added about ‘kicking the wrong player from the team’. After the podcast, Jere ‘sergej’ Salo, who has spent a month on ENCE’s bench in retaliation tweeted about Allu.

This was also backed by several teammates of his from his now former team including suNny and Aleksib. 

Today after the Finnish CS:GO podcast “Urheilucast”, allu called out the claims made post this drama as “Very Absurd” as all the decisions made within the team were not a part of his ideology. 

On the Confirmed episode, he discussed the amendments the team had to bring in a bid to make Sergej fit in the team as the latter started to face motivation issues. 

“In the Spring we already took a one-month break for him, to maybe get him motivation, to maybe get his things going on, and it wasn’t enough,” allu said. “He still tried and played with us for six months and really tried to make it work, really much respect.”

He further elaborated about his relationship with Sergej within his tweets where he mentioned the latter to be his teammate since 2.5 years where they would be roommates at every tournament they visited and good friends outside the server. 

On Wednesday, ENCE parted its ways with suNny on a mutual note. The former is now down to just two players after SaddyX returned to SJ’s starting roster from loan.
