PUBG Mobile servers are under DDoS attack

The players are reporting continuous disconnection issues in PUBG Mobile and the game has acknowledged that their game servers are under Distributed Denail-of-Service (DDoS) attacks and are trying to take the servers back up. Alongside this, the game hinted to a new anti-cheat system getting deployed soon.

PUBG Mobile is facing various issues for the last few days. While problems are always a part of each games, some issues are deliberately caused by external agency. DDoS attack is of the same form in which the target is any website or online service. The goal of this attack is to render the service unusable and in this case, the targets are PUBG Mobile servers.

As the servers are under attack, some players may constantly face disconnection or connection issue. They can not enter match lobbies or in certain cases, the games can even crash if the DDoS attack traffic is increased.

PUBG Mobile already faced a connectivity issue few days ago in which players were unable to login via Facebook. The issue was solved and soon after, this second wave of problems began.

PUBG Mobile also made some revelations on upcoming changes to their anti-cheat system. The game is filled with hackers and even through stringent actions, the amount is rising day by day. PUBG Mobile is also increasing their efforts to curb the hackers and after several changes to their anti-cheat system, there is a ray of hope that rate of cheaters will decline with time.

Hackers are a problem in every game but them entering into the game’s competitive side is a rare case. Recent PMCO was filled with hacker teams for almost every region and strict actions need to be taken to stop the history from repeating itself in the future.

90% of worldwide PUBG Mobile Events were held in India in 2020

The esports culture in India is not similar to most of the western countries. There is a large population which prefers PC games but the mobile gamers outweigh them very easily. Esports Charts’ recent report on Indian esports reveals the heavy impact of mobile gaming in India.

As per the reports, PUBG Mobile dominated the entire Indian scene with unmatched viewership than any other title in the country. The top ten list of event popularity based on viewership has revealed a shocking fact that nine out of the top ten events were led by PUBG Mobile. The only other tournament that matched this scale was a Free Fire event.

PUBG Mobile was the leading esports title for the country until recent times. This data shows the game’s popularity before it was banned in India. PUBG Mobile was reaching new heights and also showing promising results in the international circuit before the ban hampered its flourishing esports ecosystem. Free Fire enters the fray but still remains unmatched in terms of PUBG Mobile’s popularity.

The reports also mention PC titles that can be seen in the leaderboards for some times. The names include CS:GO, DoTA 2, and Call of Duty Warzone battle royales. League of Legends is not very popular in India which is quite the opposite for the world.

Mentioning the success of battle-royale games in the country, the report cites the Call of Duty Warzone Streamer championship held as a part of Twitch Rivals as a proof of the status of India as the “land of the most dedicated fans of the battle royale genre.”

GodLike reveals their COD Mobile squad

GodLike is an Indian esports organization predominantly active in PUBG Mobile and owned by Indian content creator Kronten. The team has gained success with their PUBG mobile roster and now ventures out into Call of Duty: Mobile with the same goal.

The team owner, Kronten, was teasing an announcement regarding Call of Duty: Mobile for a long time and finally, it is revealed. GodLike recently partnered up with international organisation NOVA Esports to form a new team under the banner of NOVA-GodLike.

Due to the fact that NOVA has already partnered up with GodLike, the community speculated that the new Call of Duty: Mobile roster could be formed under the same name but things got confusing when NOVA Esports announced their own COD: Mobile roster from NA region.

This led to a lot of confusion regarding this announcement but this revelation is clear now, which brings the former original name GodLike back into the market.

GodLike has signed five players under its name, which implies that the roster will compete from Multiplayer modes and not battle-royale. The players include following five names:

  • Parth ‘Minho’ Rane
  • Adarsh ‘Vortex’ Choubey
  • Aakash ‘Shikaari’ Kaintura
  • Lovleen ‘Dante’ Kumar
  • Sameer ‘Hitzy’ Mohammad

The esports side of COD: Mobile is actually based on MP mode as currently ongoing COD:M World Championship, which is the first global level tournament, is played through multiplayer matches. With this announcement, GodLike enters the list of top tier organizations like Mayhem, Galaxy Racers and Reckoning Esports. All of these teams represented India in regional finals of COD: Mobile World Championship where Mayhem won the regional finals.

Popular Twitch Streamer Wagnificient banned in Call of Duty: Warzone during Live Stream

Popular Twitch Streamer Wagnificient banned in Call of Duty: Warzone during Live Stream

Cheating is an issue that has long been the Achilles Heel in an immersive gaming experience, and Call of Duty War Zone is no different. In fact, it is among the most vulnerable among FPS games. Now, what happened to Twitch Streamer Wagnificient?

A recent ban wave, introduced in one of its updates response to the influx of new cheats, caused the ban of popular Twitch Streamer Wagnificent. While at first, it seemed like a normal game crash, as was common following the update for reasons other than cheating, it became evident that he was cheating following a message that stated that Wagnificient had been permanently banned.

The recent ban wave, which wiped out 20,000 cheaters, was allegedly due to an application of EngineOwning, which was also installed on the system of Wagnificient. This is not the first time that cheaters have been banned on stream.

A month ago, McGolds, a warzone streamer, was banned after he forgot to hide his hacks. He later got banned from Twitch as well.

While new patches are being rolled out frequently, most of them address concerns pertaining to bug fixes, like unrecognizable PS Plus subscriptions or constant game crashes, this move will come as a pleasant surprise, especially with Season 6 being rolled out just recently.

The fight towards a cheat-free experience, while far fetched, is heading toward the right direction, with developers and publishers alike being more cognizant of the vulnerabilities.

How to play ‘Among Us’ in CSGO

‘Among Us’ is the biggest trend on the internet right now. It has managed to conquer Twitch and is currently almost always seen leading the Twitch charts in terms of viewer count. The hype around the game started a few weeks back when some popular streamers and YouTubers picked up the game years after it was originally released in 2018. However, did you ever think of playing Among Us in CSGO?

You might be a fan of ‘Among Us‘, but have you ever wondered what if you got the chance to make it even better? 

Well, you don’t have to anymore, because you can already play an ‘Among Us’ game mode in the competitive shooter CSGO, and if that doesn’t make it better, we don’t know what will.

If you’ve read our previous article, you probably already know what ‘Trouble in Terrorist Town’ is all about, and if you haven’t, now would be a great time to read it.

Trouble in Terrorist Town, or TTT for short, is the ‘Among Us’ of CSGO. The custom game mode divides players into ‘innocents’, ‘traitors’, and ‘detectives’ and relies on similar gameplay as Among Us, but with the addition of weapons. Instead of voting people out of a ship, innocents can shoot your head off with an AK if you’re not careful as a traitor.

To play TTT right now, you have to find yourself a community server to play in. Finding a server that plays exclusively TTT can be difficult, which is why we recommend finding a ‘multimod’ server where TTT appears in rotation alongside other game modes like Jailbreak, Deathrun, and Minigames. 

To do so, go to ‘Browse Community Servers’ from the main menu and filter the servers by name and type in ‘Multimod’. You’ll see a bunch of servers pop up, but try joining one with more players playing on it.

You can also bring a group of friends and join an empty server to play among yourselves, or better yet you can create a server from scratch but that might get a bit tricky.

100 Thieves add Dicey, Asuna to their Valorant roster

100 Thieves have announced that they have completed their roster with the addition of former Immortals stars Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk and Quan “Dicey” Tran.

Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk has been an extra ordinary player for Immortals by giving an 244 Average combat score and 0.76 damage per round throughout his time with the team.

He generally plays as an entry fragger and his ability to top frag lead his team to finish top 3 at the FaZe Clan Valorant Invitational.

Quan “Dicey” Tran joined Immortals by replacing Joseph “Bjor” Bjorklund as their team’s primary operator player. He also performed quite well in the Faze tournament and his ace at the Pop Flash Valorant Invitational against Sentinels became one of the most popular clips recently.

This lineup will be quite exciting to see as these two young players will now be joining three Counter-Strike veteran players – Spencer “Hiko” Martin, Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella, and Joshua “steel” and they will be definitely a team to watch out for.

This will also leave Immortals with just three players remaining in their roster and they will have to look for the remaining two players for the upcoming tournaments.

100 Thieves now have:

  • Spencer “Hiko” Martin
  • Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella
  • Joshua “steel” Nissan
  • Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk
  • Quan “Dicey” Tran

Immortals now have:

  • Noah “jcStani” Smith
  • Yannick “KOLER” Blanchette
  • Amgalan “genghsta” Nemekhbayar

“Will sort out with Ubisoft later”: Luminosity says on Twitter, committing payments of overdue prizes

In a bold statement or order and discipline, Luminosity Gaming in a response to a Tweet by their former RS6 player announced that they will release the payments of a supposedly conducted event by Ubisoft.

The North American squad also confirms that Ubisoft hasn’t yet responded to their queries, but they’ll release the payment and will ‘sort out with Ubisoft later.’

The controversy erupted at the beginning of this week when ex-Luminosity Rainbow Six Siege player “Factor” accused the organization of withholding their payments. Abdullah ‘Factor’ Rihan called out the Luminosity Gaming on Twitter by saying how it was unethical of the management to not clear the overdue which has been already delayed by months.

https://twitter.com/FactorR6/status/1310984899000758277

Abdullah was referring to the North American RS6 Pro League Season 11 event which was re-organized by Ubisoft keeping in mind how the global pandemic. According to the restructed norms, the prize money of the event, which was cancelled, was to be distributed among the teams on the basis of their then standings. A New format was revealed by Ubisoft.

Following the drama, Factor for the first time had publicly mentioned his displeasure over non-payment of dues by the organization. Luminosity, on the other hand, responded to the Tweet with a reasonable explanation. They mentioned, as per the contract, they’re liable to pay the players only after Ubisoft releases the money to the organization.

Luminosity announced on the social networking site that they’ll pay the players the money and communicate with Ubisoft later.

The North American Rainbow Six Siege APAC Lan Finals, Season 11, was scheduled in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Which, on account of the COVID-19 restrictions was explicitly canceled. Luminosity Gaming, one of the teams in the standings, had a rather unpleasant experience in the following months among their team members, which was revealed in a TwitLonger update.

Among Us Mode in CSGO Existed Back In 2014, And No One Knew

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular competitive shooters in the world of modern video games alongside the likes of Valorant or Rainbow Six Siege.

On the other hand, Among Us is probably the most popular casual game currently which is almost always seen leading the Twitch charts ever since it made a major breakthrough a few weeks back.

What if you could enjoy the simplicity of Among Us in CSGO?

The answer you get is ‘Trouble in Terrorist Town‘, a custom game mode for CSGO which relies on the same basics of lies and deception as Among Us, but with a huge twist – Anyone can kill. The intense gameplay similar to Among Us, when combined with the mechanics of CSGO, creates one of the best experiences you can enjoy right now.

Trouble in Terrorist Town, or TTT for short, brings you the best of both worlds from CSGO and Among Us. A minimum of eight players are generally needed to play the game, one or more of whom are given the role of ‘Traitors’ while others are ‘Innocent’. But wait, there’s another role to top it off – the Detective.

One player (or two, if there’s a lot of people playing) is given the role of a Detective who sides with the innocents to find out who the traitor is. The detective has a Zeus with him which he can only use once to check if a player is innocent or a traitor.

Innocents have to find out who the traitors are and eliminate them, while traitors have to kill all the innocents in a given time frame to win. Any player can kill each other in this game mode, however, the game utilizes a ‘karma’ system to punish griefers who kill teammates without evidence.

Besides this, there are lots of twists in the in-game shop. Players can buy items gained from credits obtained by killing enemies. The items are for one-time use and should be used wisely to outsmart opponents.

If you’re planning to jump into a TTT game right now, there are a few community servers that still run the game mode. Join any server with the filter ‘Multimod’ and you’ll often find TTT in a rotation of game modes including Minigames, Jailbreak, Deathrun, and many others.

The public can tune in to watch these live shows, every Tuesday and Thursday night between October 13 and November 5 at 9pm ET on twitch.tv/lgloyal. The top two performers will have a guaranteed spot in the finals–while the third final spot will be given to the fan favorite of the remaining top six.

The finals will take place during EGLX Digital November 10-13th live on Twitch, at which time the judging panel will reconvene, review the top three and crown the “Rising Star.”

What is the CSGO rank of Neymar Jr?

Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. is renowned worldwide for his skills with the ball, but not many are aware about his skills in video games, especially first-person shooters.

The PSG forward has been playing CSGO for years now, and he seems to possess some serious skills in the competitive shooter by Valve. It was just yesterday that he got an insane ace with the USP-S on Inferno while livestreaming his gameplay.

Neymar also started streaming on Twitch recently, and has grown to be a celebrated personality on the streaming platform in no time. His follower count on Twitch exceeds a whopping 469,000.

With his increasing popularity as a CSGO player, many fans started wondering what his rank was in the game. While Neymar has stopped playing matchmaking for a while, he still plays on the third-party matchmaking platform FACEIT quite regularly.

Earlier, Neymar had shared pics through her Instagram which revealed his CSGO rank to be Master Guardian 1, but his current rank has expired due to inactivity. The 28-year-old is at level 3 in FACEIT, which even though is in the lower half of the spectrum, isn’t actually that bad at all.
