NRG Esports has let go, Maxwell Bateman, once in the past one of their managers, following charges that he sexually assaulted Twitch streamer, Dezaray Luna.

Luna claims that Bateman welcomed her over to his home after she felt debilitated while drinking with companions. In her TwitLonger articulation, she portrays Bateman as one of her “closest friends,” and says that he made the last drink she had that night. Luna says that while she went to Bateman’s to get her keys, she rather nodded off on his lounge chair and woke up hacking up blood.

She at that point affirms she went into Bateman’s room, where he was playing computer games while she was passed out. Luna at that point asserts that Bateman set down alongside her and sexually exploited her. She says he at that point drove her home.

Airbus entry into esports; New League squad “Out of the Blue”

One of the biggest organizations to ever enter the esports segment, Airbus, obscurely declared it would support another League of Legends group by means of Twitter.

A tweet seemed early Friday morning starting from the Airbus Careers twitter, an auxiliary account that tweets refreshes about employment opportunities. The organization did nothing to clear up any real points of interest, essentially reporting that Airbus would support another League of Legends group named “Out of the Blue.”

Many were befuddled about the dubiousness of the declaration, and its source, driving some to hypothesize if the tweet was deliberate. Be that as it may, it was not erased throughout the end of the week, so at any rate Airbus is by all accounts inclining toward it, blunder or not.

A smooth video declaration came later, graciousness of French generation organization MasterFilms, yet at the same time without additionally detail.

Airbus’ entrance into esports could flag the start of a pattern for aircraft organizations moving into the space. Not long ago ESL cooperated with Emirates Airline for on-request esports content.

The association enables travelers on Emirates aircraft to see late esports features and other substance while flying, including head ESL occasions. Airbus themselves appeared in esports with an appearance at the Paris occasion ESWC Summer.

SK Gaming Epicenter trophy seized by Russian Airport Security

Under 24 hours in the wake of winning EPICENTER 2017, SK Gaming’s players have needed to go separate ways with their trophy. SK Gaming returned to their triumphant courses at the $500,000 EPICENTER 2017 occasion after a modest bunch of frustrating outcomes in earlier months.

The expansion of Ricardo ‘boltz’ Prass to the group, on credit from Immortals, set up of João ‘felps’ Vasconcellos appeared to give the group another rent on life as they entered the competition with a comment.

In any case, it creates the impression that the Polish group was not the last obstacle to overcome all things considered.

Following an astonishing 5 maps against the Poles, where Marcelo ‘coldzera’ David indeed exhibited why he is broadly viewed as the best Counter-Strike player on Earth, SK, at last, rose as champions.

With the Marathon coordinate against Virtus.Pro behind them, the Brazilian group would most likely have been anticipating taking their well-deserved trophy home with them.

Rather, SK Gaming should move beyond Russian air terminal security before they can remove the trophy from the nation – as group commander Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo uncovered on Twitter:

 

EPICENTER 2017 trophy crowned by SK Gaming over VP 3-2

In what could be called the best series of the year so far, SK Gaming came out on top over VP in EPICENTER grand finals. SK beat VP 3-2 in the best of five decider series.

SK Gaming, the rivals of the tournament stood their ground after they won the EPICENTER final battles against the favorites Virtus Pro. After losing Mirage, SK beat VP twice on Inferno and Train before losing again at Cache, making things even back to none at 2-2.

The decider map, Cobblestone had its moments. And it was evident that both the teams were in no mood to let the championship go!

epicenter 2017

  • Mirage 10:16 to SK
  • Inferno 16:6 to SK
  • Train 19:16
  • Cache 12:16
  • Cobblestone 22:18

The two Group A contestants made their way to the grand finals after VP beat G2 and SK knocked Astralis out in the semi-finals. The grand finals of EPICENTER 2017 was extraordinarily a treat to watch as the games produced stunning results. After a massive tug-of-war between the two giants, the results of the convocation could still not be determined as the teams arrived at the fifth map, Cobblestone.

Cobblestone brought some astounding Counter-Strike among arguably the best players of the game. When things couldn’t settle during the routine rounds, the final conclusion was forced to reduce down to only six rounds.

SK and G2 both shared terrorist pistol rounds in their favor. VP stood at match points twice, unable to capitalize on the opportunity. SK, then, took three consecutive rounds enabling themselves to hold the title of EPICENTER 2017.

Best jokes from ESL Stream glitch at ESL ONE NY 2017

0

If you’re busy playing PUBG, you must have missed the fun on Twitch chat from ESL NY 2017. The stream started to flicker when Thorin and Spunj were at the desk analyzing the upcoming game of FaZe vs Astralis. And after a short while, the audio had interruptions. This came as a treat for Twitchers as they started to hit jokes on ESL production labeling it as “literal NA production.”

Some excerpts from the Twitch chat where people are making fun of ESL.

  • North Korea bombed the United States
  • Aliens are trying to talk to the US
  • China CSGO Server Load
  • Observers are blinking
  • City Area Network Outage in 2017
  • PUBG community DDOSING ESL Stream
  • North Korea already nuked the US, this is radiation interference
  • Stop your esports career @ Esl.gg
  • ESL Tech Support: “Have you tried to turn it off and on?”
  • HELLO ESL? ? VALVE HERE ? LAST TOURNAMENT ?
  • GOTV LAG IN 2017

And by the way, the stream is still down. The last account of the scores was Astralis down 1-8 to FaZe. It is funny because they call it “CITY AREA NETWORK OUTAGE”, however, the Stream B is perfectly working fine. BTW, the game is live on the ESL Russian Stream.
