Loops Esports disqualified from PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2020

0

PUBG Mobile released an official verdict regarding the unsportsmanlike behavior from three players belonging to Loops Esports roster. Loops Esports are disqualified from the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2020 Finals because of their stunt to pull off a mini ‘protest’ in the last match of the League Stages.

PUBG Mobile Global Championship is the biggest tournament in the PUBG Mobile competitive ecosystem. Each and every team qualifying for this event has treaded a hard path of several regional qualifiers and hence, one can expect the highest level of competition in such a big event.

Loops Esports did not live up to these expectations as they refused to compete in the last couple of matches of the fourth Super Weekend in PMGC League stages. This was due to some internal issues between the roster and its organization which led to players taking a bold step and staging an odd act in the Match Four and Five of PMGC Super Weekend: Week Four Day Three.

The organization came in to limelight for having some internal issues during the course of this tournament. As a result, their captain, Dadin, was suddenly taken off from the roster and the team had to compete with a slightly changed composition. The roster was evidently unhappy with this and decided to express it on the global stages.

Three players from Loops Esports namely FederaL, Gxlden, and Caiowski were seen in the Church area in Erangel map. They were just sitting there, doing nothing and this led to RRQ Athena getting three kills for free. Fourth player from Loops decided to compete in the normal fashion and did not participate in this act.

This was instantly noticed by the PUBG Mobile Esports officials and they took a bold step to disqualify the entire team. The official ruling is as follows:

In light of today’s unsportsmanlike behavior and in accordance with the PUBG MOBILE competitive policy, Loops Esports has been disqualified from the ongoing competition – including all so far gained points, placements, and prizing. Further actions might be announced at a later stage.

A similar accusation was also made during the Super Weekend stage of PUBG Mobile World League: West Season Zero where Loops had to give up on their hard earnt overall standing points of July 26. This was the second time Loops was caught in trouble and due to “multiple incidents of unsportsmanlike behavior”, PUBG Mobile Esports took this harsh step.

Liquid Reportedly Looking To Replace Twistzz With FalleN

According to a report from Rush B Media, Team Liquid might be looking to replace star rifler Russel “⁠Twistzz⁠” Van with legendary AWPer and in-game leader Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo ahead of the 2021 season.

Previously, Twistzz had claimed in a post-game interview after the IEM Global Challenge grand finals that their game against Astralis would be his last game in the roster. This goes in accordance with the report hinting towards his upcoming departure from the org.

“That was actually my last with Liquid,” Twistzz said in the interview. “I hope that I’m back next year in a new home. It was a mutual decision after looking over a couple of things, and I think it’s for the best for both sides.”

The move might come as a result of the team underperforming over the last few months. With an HLTV 2.0 rating of 1.06 this year, Twistzz currently stands at the second-lowest position in Team Liquid.

The report also states that Team Liquid was practicing with FalleN back in October when Twistzz was on his break from CS.

FalleN has been an inactive member of MiBR for the past three months, but has been maintaining his individual performances. The 29-year-old asked to be benched from the MiBR roster following the org’s decision to bid farewell to two of his teammates and coach, Fernando “⁠fer⁠” Alvarenga, Epitacio “⁠TACO⁠” de Melo, and Ricardo “⁠dead⁠” Sinigaglia.

Fallen CSGO

None of the information has been confirmed by either of the organizations as of yet. In case these changes end up happening, the Liquid roster will constitute of:

  • Jonathan “⁠EliGE⁠” JablonowskiJake “⁠Stewie2K⁠” Yip
  • Keith “⁠NAF⁠” Markovic
  • Michael “⁠Grim⁠” Wince
  • Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo
  • Jason “⁠moses⁠” O’Toole (coach)

Astralis vs Liquid IEM Global Challenge Grand Finale Recap

Astralis vs Liquid Map 1 – Inferno

Starting on their pick, Astralis raced off to a swift 4-1 start after conceding the pistol round on their offense. Team Liquid soon was able to lock down the danes out of the bombsites after Keith ‘NAF’ Markovic 3k A-site defense followed by Jake ‘Stewie2k‘ Yip shutting down the danish terror outside the Banana.

But this wouldn’t last for the North American side as then the Danes stormed into the sites to lead the first half 9-6. Astralis soon edged themselves towards the match-point thanks to Andreas ‘Xyp9x’ Højsleth horrendous A site defense which saw the latter notch up a 4k.

The North Americans tried to claw all their way back up in the game with some breathtaking efforts but couldn’t live up to their mark as Astralis went 1-0 up in the Best of Series. 

Astralis vs Liquid Map 2 – Overpass

Astralis came out on Overpass – their opponents’ map pick – with all guns blazing as they controlled proceedings from the outset. Strolling with a mammoth lead of 8-0 on their defense, odds seemed to shift out of their favor as they were outclassed by the North Americans in a successful A-hit.

Liquid then went into the break 2-13 chasing a eleven-round deficit as their round wins had been few and far between, despite Michael “Grim” Wince’s valiant efforts to put his team back on the track. Liquid did finally manage to take away the pistol round on their offense thanks to Grim’s 2k followed by the latter defusing the c4.

The game became lively from the midway point of the second half as Liquid struggled to maintain control. On a dream run, they did manage to ease out their deficit to a scoreline of 11-14 but somewhat lost their rhythm in the game eventually costing them yet another map win to Lukas ‘gla1ve’ Rossander and his men.

Astralis vs Liquid Map 3 – Dust 2

Going into the third map, Team Liquid were yet unable to float upon the Danish Perky waters where they were fumbled by the unstoppable forces from Denmark. After a 7-8 finish on the switch thanks to EliGE’s 4k A site defense, Astralis once again began to win their duels on a spree.

This was followed by Device sniping the entire North American side out of the A-site to secure Astralis their 22nd round in the one sided finale. With no gas left in the tank, Russel ‘Twistzz’ Van Dulken’s men looked destitute and listless as they succumbed to Astralis 3-0 in the Grand finale.

Later in a post-match interview, it was revealed that Twistzz has been replaced by Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo on the starting lineup.

Paris Illuminated With Holograms of ZywOo as Vitality Announce Contract Extension

French esports organization Team Vitality have announced an extension to their contract with 20-year-old CS prodigy Mathieu “⁠ZywOo⁠” Herbaut till the end of 2024. The news has garnered widespread appreciation from French Counter-Strike fans as the city has lightened up with holograms of ZywOo.

The holograms that seemed to welcome ZywOo to the French roster were spread throughout the city in major monuments including the Panthéon, Trocadéro, Montmartre, and near the Arc de Triomphe.

“We are delighted that ZywOo has chosen to commit to being a member of Team Vitality for the next five year,” said Fabien “Neo” Devide, President & Co-Founder, Team Vitality. “A player like ZywOo comes along once in a generation and we couldn’t be happier to have him competing with us. Together with our performance team, we are committed to ensuring that ZywOo has the tools and infrastructure to continue reaching his full potential”

It goes without saying that ZywOo is undoubtedly one of the greatest plasters to have ever touched the competitive shooter. The #1 CSGO player of 2019 has been consistently showing his fans some stellar performances this year, and has helped his team land first-place finishes at the IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 and BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals.

“Being a member of Team Vitality has always been such a natural fit for me. 2020 was a crazy year and I know that having Team Vitality and my teammates support me was one of the main reasons I excelled,” ZywOo said in a statement. “I am really excited to make this commitment and wear the Team Vitality shirt for another five years.”

PUBG Mobile: Loops Esports’ players stage a protest at PMGC

0

PUBG Mobile has evolved itself into a big esports title in the mobile gaming industry. Its tournaments have leveled up a lot in the last couple of years and for the first time, an unprecedented incident has taken place in PUBG Mobile history. Three players belonging to Loops Esports staged a protest at the last match of PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2020.

PUBG Mobile Global Championship or PMGC is the pinnacle of PUBG Mobile esports with a whopping $2 million prize pool. This tournament is very prestigious where teams from all over the world have gathered to showcase their prowess.

One of the teams, Loops Esports were going through a rough patch with some internal issues and this led to a miniature in-game “protest” for the first time in PUBG Mobile history.

PMGC held its last super weekend stage this week and in the last match of the entire league stage, three players from Loops Esports split away from their fourth man and entered a Church in the Erangel map where they sat doing nothing. Players from RRQ Athena spotted them and got three easy kills without any resistance.

The fourth player from their team was seen in the other part of the map, playing a normal game. This meant that something was odd about this scenario and PUBGM TV BR posted a statement about this stating that this public display was a “protest to an internal issue.”

The statement reads, “HISTORICAL PROTEST! today, during the last match of the PMGC League, 3 Loops Esports players fell into a ruined church building, and gathered close to the center they did not throw the fall in protest at the departure of their former captain “DadiN” and also the internal problems that happened within the organization. Caiowski, Gxlden, and Federal go down in history today when they held the first protest ever made at PUBG MOBILE world championships, there had never been a protest during matches until today. Carrilho did not join the other teammates and played the solo game. Loops Esports players were eliminated by an RRQ Athena player and offered no resistance, some of them even had no weapons. Loops mathematically had no chance of going up or down the table, regardless of the result of the last fall, Loops would be in 6th place in the PMGC League, see this, the players decided to demonstrate their support to their former teammate in protest.”

Dadin was the Captain of Loops Esports, who parted ways with the roster on bad terms during the tournament. While the exact reason for this action was not stated, his teammates were not very happy about this decision of their organization. As a result, the team had to continue without Dadin and on the final day of League stages, players expressed their disagreement via this action.

The clear details about this act are not stated by Loops Esports or its players. The internal issues about this team were widely known and taking such an action made them the first team in PUBG Mobile esports history to ever protest at a global stage.

TmarTn Responds To Accusations On His Gambling Site ‘CSGO lotto’ Being Rigged

Trevor ‘TmarTn’ Martin is undoubtedly one of the most controversial people in the CSGO gambling scene. The YouTuber who was also the owner of the CSGO skin gambling website CSGO Lotto hid the fact that he had no involvement with his own website whatsoever while making YouTube videos of his winnings in CSGO Lotto.

While the website itself was shut down in 2016, the controversies continued growing against Martin and his fellow YouTuber Tom ‘Syndicate’ Cassell, who was the Vice-President of the website. They were also criticized by many renowned figures from the CSGO community following this incident.

Today, Jake Lucky tweeted out a screenshot of TmarTn responding to a user claiming that TmarTn stole his skins.

“Guess you shouldn’t have wagered what you weren’t willing to lose,” the 28-year-old said.

The post by Lucky garnered the attention of Esports commentator John ‘BLU’ Mullen, who called Martin a “piece of s**t” and accused his website of having a “rigged algorithm.”

Martin was quick to respond to this accusation. “Criticize me all you want for not disclosing ownership, definitely a major mistake on my part. One I am deeply sorry for. Players had the right to know,” he said. “But nothing was rigged, I’m not gonna stand for that slander.”

When questioned further by BLU, Martin claimed that “the site wasn’t rigged and no money was ‘stolen’.”

Martin further continued, “Do you have anything to back up your baseless claims?”

Regardless of Martin’s claims, the majority of the CSGO community still continues to criticize him for his past actions. The tweet itself saw a number of other popular esports figures raising their voices against the YouTuber in unison.
