CSGO: Michu leaves ex-Virtus.pro

Michaล‚ “MICHU”ย Mรผllerย now seeks for a new organization as his contract with Virtus.Pro has come to an end.

The 23year old Polish player tweeted about his fate on Twitter earlier today and now has joined the Free agency pool.

In the early days, MICHU was a heavyweight in the player pool as he was rumoured to be picked by Virtus Pro before coming in on the team as a Stand-In to help them compete at G๏ฌnity Spring Masters I which was held in London with Januszย “Snax”ย Pogorzelski being sidelined due to an Illness. Since then and until 2018, it took him nearly 3 years to only be signed by the Polish Side replacingย Wiktorย “TaZ”ย Wojtas when the later was benched. But things couldn’t be better for them as they failed to culminate their efforts to success for the team and hence resulting in a downward trajectory for Virtus.Pro.

With these poor results, the organization then decided to favour the Avangar Roster Led by Dhzami “Jame” Ali and his men as they were bought in by VP resulting in an unforeseeable future for the now Ex-Virtus Pro Roster.

As far as now, MICHU has some best performances under his belt including V4 Future Sports Festival 2018 and 2019, and the CS:GO Asia Championship 2018 and a plethora of second-place ๏ฌnishes.

With his tenure at Virtus.Pro ๏ฌnally coming to an end, Michaล‚. now seeks for some new opportunities but his sincerity once again showed up to be on top as he has agreed to help his teammates compete at some quali๏ฌers lined up in this year until the team ๏ฌnds someone who can ๏ฌll in the void which MICHU would leave in the roster.

ex-Virtus.proย is now ๏ฌelding these 4 permanent guys:

  • Januszย “Snax”ย Pogorzelski
  • Michaล‚ย “snatchie”ย Rudzki
  • Tomaszย “phr”ย Wรณjcik
  • Arekย “Vegi”ย Nawojski
  • Jakubย “kuben”ย Gurczynskiย (coach)

The Rainbow Six community had their say by requesting Ubisoft to drop firefighter skins for Aussie operators and donate the proceeds to the concerned authorities.

Ubisoft, make a firefighter skin for Mozzie and Gridlock. Then donate the proceeds to help battle the wildfire in Australia.

Elige talks about CSGO cheaters in North America

Once proclaimed as North America’s best, Jonathan ‘EliGE’ Jablonowski had a phenomenal year, arguably the best season in his career. Elige began his trophy hunt with Liquid from IBuyPower Masters 2019 and didn’t slow down until IEM Chicago.

In his last Tweet. EliGE spoke about the cheaters in North America matchmaking. Hackers have been a persistent problem for a prolonged period and Valve is being criticized for their inability to control these cheaters. Although with recent changes to the VAC software we are seeing notable improvement.

In his Tweet, ELiGE explains how one is forced to face a hacker in 9 out of their 10 matchmaking games. He compares NA’s current situation to Europe and says that number of cheaters there is far less.

Reporting is the only option available for players to force Valve into noticing them. People frustrated with poor servers tick rate and improper anti-cheat system are resorting to third party services like FACEIT and ESEA. Those services are chargeable but players get a much better anti-cheat system and 128 tick servers in return.

Dakotaz helps Muselk raise $125,000 for Australia fires with donation

Australia in recent times is under great peril. Forest fire which set off in the initial days of 2020 has taken a petrifying shape which caused 20 people to lose their lives. Around 15 million acres of land have been burned where forests, parks and residential homes were established.

An Australian YouTuber who goes by the name Muselk decided to host a charity stream to collect donations for helping Australia in such awful times. A 24 hour stream was hosted where many personalities were featured.

Dakotaz came through with a $20000 donation and many others followed his footsteps. The collections put together added up to a sum of over $125000, which can be considered a massive success. Kudos to Muselk for such initiatives.

The money collected will probably be donated to organizations concerned with the situation and financial help will take their cause ahead to some extent. This move by Muselk has inspired a considerable number of people who are lending a hand to provide support in such terrible times.

Fnatic claim last ESL Six Siege Invitational 2020 spot

The Aussies led by Etienne โ€œMAGNETโ€ Rousseau who plays under Team Fnaticโ€™s banner overcome Xavier Esports and have booked a spot at the ESL Six Siege Invitational 2020 which is scheduled to kick off in February from the 7th.

At the start of the APAC Qualifier, we saw Cloud9 and Fnatic lock horns in the race to Montreal. With Cloud9 picking up Bank as their first pick, they were able to get a flying start with a healthy 2-1 lead before Fnaticโ€™s Jake โ€œVIR7UEโ€ Grannan with his 1v3 in the Tellers/Archives defense helped his team to get back in the drivers seat. Cloud9โ€™s SweetBlack invited more misery on their defense for his team as he TKโ€™ed Nova enabling Fnatic to take a 1-0 Lead on C9โ€™s pick hence converting their match point.

Coming back from break on the Second map Kafe Dostoyevsky, Cloud9 came out on top with yet another comeback by sqauring out the scoreline 3-3 on their defense thanks to Yugeun โ€œH3DYโ€ Kwonโ€™s brilliant quad kill to stop the attackers. On switch, Fnatic were demonic as they were able to defend the Bar/Cocktail and Reading/Dining sectors with success and only dropping the Service/Cooking sector to C9โ€™s attackers thus winning the series 2-0.

Match: Xavier Esports vs CYCLOPS athlete gaming

On Xavier Esportsโ€™s pick Kafe Dostoyevsky, the Thai guys came out to be on top with a 4-2 lead on their Attack as the duo of Thiti โ€œREDSUNโ€ Chairoek and Peeranut โ€œWARBRAKโ€ Thiraboot left no flaws in their strategies to attack the Reading/Dining sector with a 100% win rate on the same. On switch, WARBRAK was halted by the Japanese men as their collective contributions saw them going 1-0 up in the 3 match series over Xavier.

Onto CYCLOPS athlete gamingโ€™s pick Bank, both the side went head to head but not overshadowing a 1v2 clutch by Narabodee โ€œKirisakuโ€ Plailaharn which saw the Xavier Esports grab the second round on their defence at the Lockers/CCTV sector. On switch, Xavier Esports did easily cruise to a 7-4 scoreline victory over the Thai men thanks to REDSUNโ€™s heroics.

With the series tied 1-1, both the teams were pumped up to face each other on Clubhouse the map which would decide eitherโ€™s grand final fate but later it was revealed to be Xavier Esports who was so exceptional on both of their Attack and Defense sides which saw them overcome the Intellectual Korean men by conceding just 2 attack rounds to set up a fixture against Fnatic for the Montreal showdown.

The APAC Qualifier Grand Final

Coming onto the Grand final, on Club House being Xavier Esportsโ€™pick. We Saw Fnatic take a 4-2 on switch with some brilliant attack rounds led by Jason โ€œLustyโ€ Chen the Aussie who crippled Xavierโ€™s defence. Sumate โ€œPEWโ€ Srimabutโ€™s efforts went in vain as he clutched the 9th round to win Master/Gym sector to help his team climb up back but Fnatic saw them crumbling to a defeat after witnessing some potential fightbacks from the Thai men.

On Consulate being Fnaticโ€™s pick, the Aussies once again had a healthy lead with a 4-2 scoreline on switch but Xavierโ€™s Warbrak setup a tough fight for his team as both of the sides marched in Overtime yet in the race for the Spot in Montreal. But Fantic left no flaws in their attack to win the Garage/Cafeteria sector thus earning themselves the match point which would be then converted into a sweaty victory while defending the same spot after the switch.

With this series victory over Xavier Esports, we would now see Team Fnatic competing at the ESLโ€™s Six Siege Invitational 2020 at Montreal from 7th to 16th February.

CSGO: mOE trolls WARDELL with fake run boost

Matthew “WARDELL” Yu has been involved in a lot lately, from accidentally leaking confidential information about potential new roster to getting baited into obvious traps.

WARDELL fell for an obvious trick while playing with Moe. The match was being played out on Vertigo, the map which is known for its uncertainties. It was added to the active duty later than the other maps and thereby the foundation of map knowledge for Vertigo is yet under development stage even up to the professional level. Strategies for the map are evolving in a swift manner and crazy boosts are coming out of nowhere to impress the audience every now and then, which was the primary reason behind WARDELL falling for it.

WARDELL learned about a new boost from Moe which enables a player to reach T-Spawn from the B bombsite. Previously players have managed to run-boost from T Spawn to Under Stairs which played out well for them. The former Ghost player expected this to be a new development considering the recent changes to the map and went along Moe’s advice. The run-boost failed miraculously as WARDELL fell to his own demise.

WARDELL along with his teammates started laughing at his own stupidity. Moe has quite been the point person in Counter Strike when it comes to such stuff. We are looking forward to the next player he takes these cunning ideas to.

f0rest set to join Dignitas

According to a report from 1pv.fr, we may witness some rumoured but potential transfers which would see Patrik ‘”f0rest” Lindberg join Team Dignitas among others.

Earlier On September 18, 2019, Dignitas had announced on their Youtube Channel about their comeback in the scene with a Men’s roster.

We might see a new face as well and that would be Hรฅkonย “hallzerk”ย Fjรฆrli. Earlier DeKay from DBLTAP had reported about the probable re-union of these guys under the Dignitas Banner with having already signed Hallzerk.

With Dignitas’s eyes set on f0rest, we may see Tim “nawwk” Jonasson from GamerLegion ๏ฌll in the shoes in NiP’s starting ๏ฌve.

With these potential transfers upon the trot, Williamย “draken”ย Sundin, who was bought in by GamerLegion as a stand-in to help their team compete at the ESEA MDL Season 32, WESG North Europe 2019 Quali๏ฌers and a plethora of Lans might book a permanent spot on the roster who would then replace nawwk if his NiP ticket is punched.

If these transfers come out to be successful, the squads of these respective teams would look like:

Dignitas Starting Five:

  • Adam “friberg” Friberg
  • Richard “Xizt” Landstrom
  • Christopherย “GeT_RiGhT”ย Alesund

Fortnite hacker threatens to dox Tfue after being confronted on stream

Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenny confronted the aimbotter who was creating nuisance his Tfault scrims and earned a dox threat in return.

Tfue holds these scrim matches where his fans can enjoy playing with him. In recent times those scrimmage matches were harmed by an aimbotter, who is ruining the experience for every player. The blatant hacker has been confidently using cheats and is proud of doing so. Tfue has been seeking EPIC’s assistance to ban the individual from the game and on his 3rd January stream, he got an opportunity to confront the hacker.

Tfue’s lobby member questioned the hacker about his identity and reportedly squeezed a Twitter account out of him which revealed his looks but not his name. Upon asking about the reason behind such behaviour, he labelled Fortnite as a dead game and its fun for him to aimbot in it.

The cheater goes on to reveal that someone informed his parents about his online activity which infuriated him. โ€œWhoever that was, just know that thereโ€™s a dox coming very soon โ€“ and Iโ€™m not even joking,โ€ the hacker said.

Tfue ridiculed him in return by saying โ€œBecause imagineโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not trying to threaten yโ€™all right now, Iโ€™m not trying to, but just saying โ€“ like, what if, like I know someone that can. Iโ€™m just not going to say it,โ€.

EPIC is yet to take a step against this hacker while Tfue is still under pressure of a potential dox.
