EnVyUs at long last turned around the tide in the eighth round as Dan “Zenith” Madesclaire grabbed two AK passages to put a round on the board for nV, making the score 7-1 with VP driving. The following round saw French AWPer Kenny “kennyS” Schrub secure three slaughters with his mark weapon and the principal half abruptly contracted in the score as nV tested all the more effectively; the half eventually finished 9-6 for the Poles.

Vincent “HappY” Schopenhauer and his group against started a Virtus.pro early B-site hit and the similar player gathered three USP kills to secure the second pistol round for the French group. EnVyUs pushed forward to a 14-4 score before a quad execute fromJarząbkowski put some wind in the Poles’ sails. The accompanying round saw a five-on-five group battle from the two groups at Mid and EnVyUs apparently looked weaker with Schrub left in a one-versus-two and with very little data, yet the AWPer still in some way or another won the round and took match point.

Virtus.pro figured out how to win a couple of more adjusts in a last stand situation, yet an EnVyUs pistol buy on the 24th round saw Démolonsecure two Five-Seven kills in A fundamental and help his group close out the second map 16-8.

Drama continues as Invisible Wings disbands current roster to sign Wolf

Drama continues as Invisible Wings disbands current roster to sign Wolf

Invisible Wings, one of the top most eSports organization in India is set to leap a major step in uniting their players as they sign Team Wolf and bid adieu to their current roster. The organization will now have the fresh line of players as they move ahead from ex-JMD Gaming roster.

Our sources suggest us that there is another big shuffle incoming in the Indian CS:GO scene as Invisible Wings releases their current CS:GO squad which was based in Calcutta. They will now be hiring the top line of players including:

  • Tejas ‘Ace’ Sawant,
  • Mithil ‘MithilF’ Sawant
  • Simar ‘Psy’ Sethi
  • Ritesh ‘Ritz’ Shah
  • Manan ‘Manan’ Bhat

The switch comes in after the previous roster was unable to show their maximum performance as told to us by our sources close to the organization. Interestingly, the ex-Invisible Wings did perform well during their run in the organization, they came 2nd in ESL India Premiership Starter Cup #2 beaten by Brutality. They were even the runners-up at IGL Season 1. We will wait and watch to confirm the authenticity of this deal very soon.

Dream of fans shattered as India knockedout to HongKong 0-2 at TWC 2016

It was an opportunity for Indians to get four-squared into the eSports map of Asia, but once again the result of the match wasn’t unconventional as we lost to HongKong 0-2 (8-16 on mirage and cache) in a best of three and are done for this year’s The World Championship 2016.

Principally not shocking, yet it hurts to see the poor performance of the roster which is representing the nation in a global affair. The strength whatever may be, weaken may be the criticism, all we always get is an unrecoverable loss followed by disappointments from the players and comes retirement.

The mockery isn’t when we discuss the issue, it is when the issue isn’t looked out of the intentions of solving it. The Indian lineup at The World Championship 2016 surely had the potential of winning at least a map. From the leaders which hold international experience and their colleagues along with whom they represented India on multiple occasions, it didn’t seem like this roster was the only best option we had. With great power comes great responsibility, and sometimes pomposity.

If teams like Invisible Wings, don’t gain experience now, then when?

Even though with the likes of V3n0m, Excalibur, astarrrr, psy, antidote, Ad1, fox,  and other top players in the country, the lineup was finalized rather just for the sake of participating and proving the regular opponents wrong. But the question is, is politics necessary even when the purpose is to represent once’s nation? Or there are no exceptions to foul play?

When there are teams like D5, Invisible Wings, SimpleX Gaming and similars who don’t hold the experience but have the potential, was it necessary to bring in a player from the abroad? I don’t mean here talking about his individuality or performance, because even if he tried his best in the first map, it didn’t bring any difference to the outcome. And I somewhere had this hope that Havoc can help Ace carry the team after he was added to the roster the previous day. If the teams like IW, D5 and SXG don’t get an opportunity to gain experience now, when will be able to participate in international events to level up with the legends?

The recipe for preparing an Indian continental dish is definitely not Pasta.

It is rightly said that we should never just complain, but produce a solution before asking for judgement. The roster could have been better with the addition of new talents combined with the experienced athletes. And No, the answer to difficulties is not solved by playing the victim card, but by being decisive rationally. When I wrote a piece showing my disagreement to the roster shuffle and my graciousness and respect towards Team Brutality for being what they are today, intact and professional, I was being threatened and abused brutally by the so-called professionals of the industry for being too loud and factual.

Only if we could focus on the game instead of mocking our fellow country competitors.

They were destroyed not because of lack of talent, utilities, resources or whatever groundless reason. We lost to sheer dominance.

After watching RiX perform today, now we know why it is important to play with a team consistently rather switching doors every weekend. I personally urge everyone that this is not about you or me or a point of ego-clash, but an organic affection coming from an Indian who wants to see India participating overseas and getting us a recognition!

Bonus advice: Do not focus only on the major events, participate in events regularly, stick to your regular five for a better understanding of team-game. Look out for players beyond your radar, there are CS:GO professionals in every part of the country.

The team later confirmed that players were swapped during the match and their slot was taken away from The Summit 5.

VP was invited to the regional qualifiers of The International 2016 where they ended up claiming 6th position which is fairly a poor performance coming out by them.

Indian lineup for E-Frag TWC 2016 revealed

The World Championship hosted by EFrag was a massive success last year. Tejas ‘Ace’ Sawant, the former Wolf IGL was chosen the captain for the Indian lineup and we have already determined the potential lineup of the event.

As per our sources, it is quite possible that our Indian front-runner has chosen the lineup not limiting to our borders, but the players are also selected from abroad. According to the intel, Ace’s final five including himself is, MithilF, RiX, Amretsu, and Havok.

Interestingly, the Indian lineup for E-Frag TWC 2016 revealed some of the top names from the Indian CS:GO community alongside Havok from UAE. The players selected to represent the nation are from the leading CS:GO organizations in India, with no players from Invisible Wings whatsoever.

Indian lineup for E-Frag TWC

The five-man strong roster of which only MithilF is the continuing player will play their first match tomorrow against Hong-Kong at 14:30 IST.

Indian lineup for E-Frag TWC 2016 revealed

  • Tejas “Ace” Sawant – Team Wolf / Scorchers
  • Mithil “MithilF” Sawant – Team Wolf / Scorchers

The last time India participated in The World Championship with the dream team of that time, they didn’t have had amazing results combined due to lack of stable connectivity and practice. We will see how does it go with them tomorrow when they face HongKong in the first match of TWC 2016.

The fate of Luminosity players: Bayern Munich or SK Gaming?

SK Gaming recently announced changes in his team, which will count on the Brazilians who played inLuminosity Gaming . But the changes may not stop there. According to journalist  Richard Lewis,  in his program  The Richard Lewis Show on youtube , the German organization was sold, but the buyer’s identity is not yet known . Speculate that the Evil Genius and the German team Bayern Munich may be the organization’s fate . He said the company would not be able to afford the Brazilian players and pass by rebranding .

On the last day 23, we had other evidence that SK Gaming has been purchased. Phillip Rasmussen, the media manager of Astralis,  responded to a tweet from Duncan Shields (Thorin).

Thorin asks whether it would not be strange that the players of LG go for SK Gaming after repeatedly questioning the ethics of the company. Rasmussen says they may need not to worry about it since the organization is almost sold.

The rumors increased in intensity during the ECS.  If this happens, the Brazilians will become a team of eSports to represent a football team (Schalke 04, Santos and Remo are other examples), wearing the colors of one of the most traditional clubs in the world.

“We are very happy to have found a satisfactory solution for each party involved in the recent contract disputes. Luminosity excels at scouting the greatest talent and we are surely going to see them on the big stage again soon. What they’ve been able to accomplish as an organization and team in such a short time is remarkable. I want to thank Steve Maida for agreeing to an amicable solution. This was a messy situation and neither party was completely right or wrong here.  At SK, we are happy to leave the emotional weeks behind us and are now looking forward to a fresh start and successful future together”, says SK Gaming’s Managing Director Alexander T. Müller.

Gabriel “Fallen” Toledo adds the following: “We had a good time playing for LG in the last year. It’s a good place to play for a player.  During our time with LG both the players and the organization grew a lot and have been working hard to make possible what we achieved during that time and we built a remarkable history together. I personally did many mistakes during this transition. I let emotions take part on business decisions and that is something I regret and surely will take as a learning experience to the rest of my life. I want to say, Steve always did his best and more than required to be more than just an owner. Traveling with us in all tournaments and sharing every moment was important to us and he is part of the family. I would like to thank Steve and LG for everything they did for us, and all the support last year.  Also, like to thank LG & SK for working together and dealing with this difficult situation in a very professional fashion. We are very excited to see what comes next and we will for sure keep doing what we love most; work hard and play Counter-Strike. Thanks as well to all our great fans, who will hopefully keep supporting us, Luminosity, and SK in the future.”

“This has been an emotional roller coaster for me and Luminosity Gaming. I’m glad that we could all come together and work out a solution.  It might not have started off the best, but SK and Alex made it right in the end.  I’m optimistic that SK will be a good home for the team’s next chapter in CS:GO. When we started this journey together over a year ago, none of us imagined that we would come so far, so quickly.  Due to the rapid growth of our success, we went through some small growing pains and learning experiences both from an organizational standpoint and as players. I always have and always will consider these players to be dear friends of mine, and, ultimately, I decided that their future and continued success was the most important thing to me.  I’m eternally grateful to have been able to get to know them and support them over the past year, and I’ll cherish all the memories we have together.  I have to also give a special thank you to the Brazilian community and all of our fans around the world for embracing and supporting myself and Luminosity.   I hope you continue to support us in the future!” – Steve Maida, Founder, Luminosity Gaming.

This further, puts light on the on going controversial rumor which suggests SK might be heading towards suing Luminosity players if they don’t adhere to their previously signed agreements. As reported by many media outlets, FalleN and co. will now have to move to SK or they will be barred from playing any future Valve-sponsored events, which no team would agree upon.

SK Gaming will follow up shortly with further information regarding its CS:GO division.

“Following the departure of Jacob ‘Pimp’ Winneche, the remaining four players Andreas ‘MODDII’ Fridh, Asger ‘AcilioN’ Larsen, Michael ‘Friis’ Jörgensen and Emil ‘MagiskB0y’ Reif will look for new opportunities.” added JPW.
