Virtus.Pro admits to cheating at The Summit 5 grand finals

Ad Finem will go to LA this Summer for The Summit 5 LAN occasion as Virtus.Pro concede that they had Vega Squadron’s convey Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko playing in diversion four of the EU qualifiers Grand Finals, without properly gaining permission from the organizers.

The Grand Finals was in question on 29th of May which we reported, when in a match between Virtus.Pro and Ad Finem, there was unusual halt for over 15 minutes amid the third round of the game, when Ilya “ALOHADANCE” Korobkin allegedly lost connectivity. Toward the end of the 10 minutes standard interruption VP requested an additional two, expressing that ALOHADANCE had gone to a local internet cafe to play the remaining game and was holding up having asked for a code (Steam Authentication Code) to enter the delayed game.

Even though after the kind hospitality from Ad Finem to offer their share of the pause, it didn’t stop Virtus.Pro to play a dirty card and they got ‘Noone’ in a fraudulent mannger from ALOHA’s account, while ALOHA also nearly tried to fool everybody when he updated “now my internet works” from his twitter to add some reality in their drama.

“We apologize to the fans Virtus.pro team tournament the BTS, the opposing team and the Dota 2 community.We recognize that broke the rules, and we understand that we can not continue in the tournament. Tomorrow we shall understand in detail the situation and give the unwrapped comment.” said VP representative in a statement shortly after BTS team investigated into this.

It is both shocking and devastating to see such a cheap move from one of the renowned eSports organization in the world. And in-spite of having disqualified from the event, they might as well come under Valve’s scanner for desperately attempting to cheat.

CS:GO average players dropped highest since 2012

CS:GO average players dropped highest since 2012

In a not very shocking turn of terminology, CS:GO experienced a massive drop in the calculation of average players which was reported at -10% by Steamcharts. The reason is not that people are losing interest in the game, but more and more hackers are ruining the fun and Valve has taken no strict action until today.

Valve pretends to be absconding when asked about their efforts in eliminating the hackers from the game, with a tedious feature of banning the blatant cheaters from Overwatch, and thus the community is not very happy with them. The amount of players adding up to the game is far more than people Overwatching and wasting their time to make the community cleaner. Valve simply avoid talking about this and are in no mood to take actions against this.

We can not claim it to be a down fall entirely, but a massive drop in the number of players enjoying the game has been recorded. It is important to note that these are not only professionals but semi-pros and casual gamers who just enjoy the game. Ever since the last ban-wave came flying, Valve made over a million dollar just from banning the hackers and still has not implemented a strong anti-cheat, and now you know the reason why.

CSGO hackers

Valve’s response

These hackers are now fearless than ever, as they are confident enough on not particularly their undetected hacks, but also on Valve’s ignorance to the major part of community destruction. Also to note that the major share of the players enjoying the game rely on Valve’s match-making which is not superior to the third party services but is easy to play, and the numbers dropping down is not only of the Valve match-making but, CS:GO players as a whole, which is devastating.

Ample number of people have joined and showed their interest in CS:GO in the recent years and Valve should have been more than serious about this regard than ever. The way they handle the situation of hackers or give this section lesser priority just doesn’t add-up. If they want to see the community grow, the effort should not only be hosting events but also taking care of the online community by discouraging hackers and punishing them at such intense from there the abusers struggle to return from.  It is quiet amicable to witness how strict Valve is when it comes to banning the wrong-doers but is not abusing the game also a form of exploiting the game mechanics?

It is high time that players who are regular should not just wait for the ban-hammer but should be expecting a strong VAC system from the developers which is not impossible when there are third-party Anti-cheats working better than VAC already.

Australian officials are warning parents about their kids involved in CSGO skin gambling

Australian officials are warning parents about their kids involved in CSGO skin gambling

There are literally thousands of website in this new era of CS:GO skins market which has been the talking point of more than a year now and nothing seems to be amicable as it sounds. Thus, Australian officials are warning parents about their kids which might be involved and addicted to CS:GO skins gambling which has destroyed lives and banks of many already.

The virtual item which has real life values always holds an obligatory problem as far as commercials are concerned. The skins which have a value ranging somewhere between less than a dollar upto $2000, (yes, some are even over that figure) they can be en-cashed in real money and can be used as a way of money laundering.

CSGO Costly Skin

The ABC has spoken to a number of young gamers who have gambled skins. In one case, a teenager stole his parent’s credit card and gambled away thousands of dollars. Jordan Bruce, an 18-year-old gamer from Brisbane, said he played CS:GO for about a year before he started getting into the gambling.

“I bet all my money on skins, I was that much into it, then it started getting bad,” one said

“I just had that urge. I hated it and I hated myself after it, but at the time I just thought ‘I won’t get caught’,” Jordan said.

 

Rahul Sood — founder of US-based eSports gambling betting website Unikrn — said the ease with which children can watch and get involved in the gambling makes him seriously uncomfortable.

“It’s just so easy to do and because there’s no oversight and no regulation, there are sites from all over the world that are accepting bets and nobody seems to care,” he said. Mr Sood said he wants to hear from Counter-Strike’s developers Valve about where they stand on children gambling using the marketplace they created.

“We would love for them to work with good operators and come up with a system that can solve some of the issues that are happening out there but I haven’t seen anything publicly from them,” he said.
