Korean Government relaxes Gaming & Esports Industry Regulation

Park Yang-woo, Korean Culture Minister announced that the government is planning to support the game industry market & to maximize its potential. During a press conference held in Seoul in the month of May Park said,

“Large global conglomerates such as Google & Facebook are expanding in the global gaming market with new technologies. However, there is criticism that our regulations are not reflecting such changes and blocking Korean game business from growing.”

Growth of the Industry for a decade

Over the last 10 years, a steady 9.8% growth per annum was registered by the Korean game industry. With an export of about $6.4 billion a year, the gaming industry is the main reason behind 8.8% of the country’s trade surplus. By 2020, the government is expecting the gaming industry to reach 19.9 trillion won in sales & 11.5 trillion won in export.

How the Esports in Korea will benefit from the Country’s Plan?

Korean government is looking to support the esports industry as well. According to the plan, an esports centre will be set up which will give the players the opportunity to take part in amateur esports teams. Expectations regarding the growth of the esports betting are also significant as that will surely increase the interest in esports as a whole.

In order to ensure safeguards for esports players, the ministry will release a universal contract form. The country is not really worried about the COVID-9 pandemic as of now. South Korea is planning to lead in esports by hosting a joint event with Japan & China in the month of November. Talking about the feasibility of the project Kim Hyum-hwan, Director General of Content Policy Bureau of the Culture Ministry said, “We can also consider holding the event while the players stay in their own country. This is possible for esport events.”

But, at the end of the day, we can proudly say that there are now tens of thousands of fans supporting this organisation and the players who are signed to us. With that, all great stories come with challenges, and sometimes we have to make changes in order for each and every player to prosper and become the best they can be. So, it is with both sadness and excitement that we announce that the PMPL will be our last dance with the current lineup. One final ride with the boys who started this journey. This lineup will always be an Emotion. We've got nothing but love for each of the players. But, as in many walks of life, the paths of individuals cross impermanently.As the PMPL concludes, we will reveal the changes—we hope to see all of you there. We understand that this might upset some of you. But, for 15 years at Fnatic, we've created great talent, built fantastic teams and we can still remember every single one whose path crossed with ours. That is why our hashtag is more than a hashtag, it's a mantra. It's then. It's now It's #alwaysfnatic.

CSGO Was Briefly Down Today – 22nd May

On May 22nd, 2021, CSGO players across the Globe reported outages of the game servers. It’s still unclear what caused the outage, but it could be due to a number of reasons.

The first and a common cause of server outages is a new update. When a new update is shipped to the game, the servers can go down for a short while. However, in case of an update, the servers can be up quite quickly.

Another reason behind server outages may be a technical fault in Valve’s servers. This is very unlikely to happen but has happened on more than one occasion in the past.

In case you’re finding yourself unable to launch CSGO or join a game, you can check for yourself if CSGO servers are down.

There are a number of websites to check server statuses of popular games like CSGO or DOTA 2, and even the server status of Steam itself. One of the most reliable websites to check server issues is steamstat.us; it shows detailed stats on the statuses of game coordinators of Dota 2, Artifact, CSGO, TF 2 along with reports of server outages.

So next time you find yourself in a similar situation, don’t panic and take your time to check if the servers are down. Another renowned website to check server outages is downdetector. Besides those, you can always follow TalkEsport to see the latest updates on server outages throughout the world.

New leak indicates Valve deleted CSGO Source 2 references In HAlf-Life: Alyx

Data miners have dug gold once again, this time from the update logs of the latest patch for HAlf-Life: Alyx.

The leak points to deleted references towards the source 2 engine along with changes related to csgo and left for dead 3.

Readers might question as to why these were included in the update logs for half life: Alyx. Many have suggested the prospect of a potential spill, which is not so rare when it comes to games running on the same engine.

It seems Valve is finally waking up to the need for changes in csgo, thanks in large to the riot games FPS Valorant. Changed have been pouring in at a much faster rate in csgo ever since Valorant commenced their closed beta and this leak suggests the dream for source 2 is not farfetched.

Users are also hoping for the 128 tick server rumours to come to fruition. But, this leak gives them some assurance regarding the potential of the introduction of the source 2 engine soon.

Former Team Liquid pro retires from CSGO to pursue Valorant

Joshua “jdm64” Marzano earlier today through a Tweet bid adieu to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The starling revelation came on his 30th birthday. He is mostly known for his tenure with Team Liquid between 2016 and 2018. 30-year-old has followed the suit and switched to Valorant similar to several North-American CS professionals.

https://twitter.com/jdmarzano/status/1263190805495156736?s=19

Joshua has professionally competed in multiple Counter-Strike franchises throughout his 18-20 years of journey with the first-person shooter. During his time at Team Liquid, he secured 3rd-4th position at ESL One: New York 2016, 3rd-4th position at ESL Pro League S5, 5th-6th position at ECS S3, 5th-8th position at ESL One: Cologne 2017 and 2nd position at ESL One: New York 2017.

Following his departure from Team Liquid, Joshua joined Team Envy in September 2019 for a short span and since then, his career in CS:GO has been on the decline. Joshua further revealed that he is looking for an organization to represent in Valorant. “Let’s get creative and build something to remember,” he concluded his Tweet exhibiting a new ray of enthusiasm.

Numerous other CS:GO professionals have quitted the game and gone all-in on Valorant. South Korea’ T1 is the foremost organisation to sign Braxton “Brax” Pierce and his former teammate Keven “AZK” Larivière to establish a Valorant squad. Hunter “SicK” Mims took a step back from CS:GO to pursue a career in Valorant due to feeling incredibly stale and tedious. 

Cloud9 has revealed that former CS:GO player and content creator Tyson “TenZ” Ngo will be their first professional Valorant player. Tyson is also the first highest ranked Valorant player in North-America.

Feeling a new spark and addiction in Valorant, former NiP player Jacob “pyth” Mourujärvi has retired from CS:GO to professionally pursue Valorant. Earlier this month, Ryan “freakazoid” Abadir announced his retirement from CS:GO after 10 years to set his sights on Valorant.

Valorant devs confirm hit registration issues to be fixed in the next update

Recently, there has been an influx on the number of reports VALORANT was getting due to its flawed hit registry. Many users claimed that after the release of the latest patch 0.50, bullets shot at opponents, even when standing still, were not hitting their mark. If you’re one of our regular readers, you’re probably aware of the recent Reddit post compiling several such reports.

It really does look like Riot messed something up with hitboxes in 0.50 …

A Riot dev had responded to the complaints back then and pointed out the reasons which may have caused them.

However, more and more reports against the hit registry kept on flooding the game forums across social media platforms. This seems to have drawn Riot’s attention as they have addressed the issue in a recent tweet.

Riot thanked the players for informing them about the problem by sending them videos and then proceeded to mention that they’re actively working on fixing the issues. They also mentioned that low FPS players might be getting hit worse by the problem due to it being a “desync related to in-game FPS.”

Through a follow-up tweet Riot stated what else could be adding to the issue. According to them, the recent movement inaccuracy changes and “it being difficult to tell between body/headshots with sparks” are making matters worse. But they also assured the players that they’re “chasing down all of these things.”

Ziegler – Game director for VALORANT – elaborated on this through a tweet of his own. He claimed that they’re focusing on fixing at issue at the instant and that they’d be fixed in the next update.
