R8 revolver, new pistol and other tweaks update 1.35.1.2

The new update 1.35.1.2 of CS:GO which is highlighted with the introduction of the newest pistol in the game R8 revolver has been released this morning following 98.5 MB update rolling out.

The major centre of attraction always comes up with addition of a new usable weapon in game, the R8 revolver occupies the Degale’s loadout slot in-game. The pistol’s firing rate is however very tedious and it also gives the shooter an opportunity to pull back the shooting intention if the enemy no longer is locked in the crosshair. It also perhaps is a killer pistol, with one-shoot-kill capabilities if hit on target even with the opponent carries a Kevlar and Helmet. The pistol is also the costlier revolver introduced yet in the game which comes at $850 for both the sides.

Addition of new pistol R8 revolver, C4 timer and round times tweaked

TSM have stated that they will be letting the team’s contracts expire and will allow them to answer to newer opportunities. The TSM group presented it as “the large time zone difference and distance separating [them]…” as a problem, as it caused “large issues with accessibility.”

It was the best for both parties to part.

Untill the players find their next destination organization, they’d continue to play with the tag ‘?’ as revealed by device on twitter.

TeamSoLoMid were world’s highest paid CS:GO team when they were intially signed up for; now the group will be looking for another association inside of Europe that will concede them control and adaptability, while TSM will push forward trying to manufacture another convenient that will be based close Los Angeles, California.

Quas retires from professional gaming after suspension from Team Liquid, reveals why was he suspended

Quas retires from professional gaming after suspension from Team Liquid, reveals why was he suspended

In a public statement made by Quas of Team Liquid, he made it very clear and open to everyone on why was he suspended from the team, not disclosing the matter quiet a bit, Quas revealed that the cause of his termination of the team was completely on his part, and he himself is responsible for the same while having anxiety and depression issues. Shockingly, we come to know from his statement that Quas retires from professional gaming scene also after this controvery and he will be concentrating on something else apart from competitive eSports.

Read his full statement here:

Hey everyone, I want to voice my thoughts and talk about my situation for all the fans out there who are curious about what happened. At my request, Team Liquid did not disclose any details regarding the suspension and I thank them for that.

I never spoke out about this but I might as well do it now. I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety issues growing up since my early teenage years, having a hard time building relationships with people and getting along with others in healthy ways.

My biggest way to cope with this has been through video games; to me it’s been more than just a hobby; I’d describe it as a way of seeking greatness and motivation towards something while staying in a comfort zone. It distracted me from dealing with some of my personal issues, as well as pursuing my own goals in life. My mind was so focused on video games that I was able to get a P-1 Athletic visa and gain recognition as one of the best players in my role. I was given opportunities that were not available in Venezuela and under Team Curse and then Team Liquid was able to compete, earn a good living and have experiences I never thought I would have.

The last couple of weeks have been pivotal for my self-development. I started taking responsibility over my depression and frustrations about my personal development thus far in my life. You could call it growing up, whatever it is, it has given me more control of what I want to do moving forward. Unfortunately, this process has not been easy and I’ve done it in nonconstructive, aggressive and inappropriate ways that led to behaviors that resulted in my suspension from Team Liquid.

I realize now the impact all of this has had on my teammates, management and other Team Liquid staff is not becoming of any professional athlete.

I’m not going to get into the details and I hope the community and my fans can accept that and support me and the team moving forward. I’ve offered my help in any way that I can to Steve (LiQuiD112 ), so that they can still be a strong and successful team in this next LCS Season.

Having just turned 24 I’ve thought out my options; I’ve decided to retire from professional gaming and in turn pursue other passions in my life; to also get myself out of the comfort zone I’ve become accustomed to. As far as my future – I’m still figuring out the details but for now I’m looking to pursue a medical career.

In the meantime, while I get going, I’ll do private lessons with fans and use my expertise in League while I explore schooling options. Additionally, I’m nearly completed with a top lane book project that I started a few months ago that will be my last contribution to the league community and my fans.

If you’ve any thoughts, inquiries, or just want to send me a message – you can do so at [email protected].

As a closing note, I’d like to give my thanks to the people at Team Liquid/ Team Curse who helped me by giving me the chance to compete at a professional level, to Riot obviously for making it possible, and of course to the fans who supported me and TL. Also, thank you to everyone who read this for your time and understanding.

DreamHack eSports director opens up at alleged assault

The eSports and tournament Director has now made a statement regarding the ugly spat on DreamHack where two of the most senior public figures from DotA 2 and CS:GO were allegedly involved in a physical assault.

With DreamHack officially banning Lewis from all the further tournaments and events happening. HellSpawn, the Director at DreamHack went to twitter to clear the air and the confusion as it what actually happened at backstage and who was at fault.

You can find his complete statement below:

I was advised to be silent but I can’t stand it anymore. @RLewisReports strangled @LodaBerg and I was the one who with force stopped Richard so he wouldn’t deeply injure Loda, or worse. I don’t know what would have happened if I wasn’t there.

I came down and saw Richard and Kelly having a huge verbal dispute. I took the position between the two and when Kelly walked off I tried to calm Richard down and advised him to let this go as it wasn’t worth it.

While talking to Richard, Loda pops up without me really being able to react. Loda didn’t touch Lewis but aggressively approached Richard. There was a fast and aggressive conversation where Loda said “I’m here, yes it’s me”. Suddenly Richard attacked Loda and started to strangle him.

Who strangles another when threatened? That’s beyond me! It wasn’t like Richard tried to push Loda away and accidentally hit his throat. No, Richard grabbed Lodas throat with both hands and pushed him backwards towards the ground while strangling what to me looked very hard.

I grabbed Richard and pulled him through the door. I was upset and sad that he had fucked up the situation so badly as I had tried to calm him down. This story was given as a witness to the police on site.

Later on DreamHack staff was able to get both parties to agree to settle this and move on. Loda wanted a guarantee that Richard wouldn’t spin this online which they both eventually agreed on.

Since then Richard have according to me, spinned this as much as he can in all direction to try to become the victim and to bait people like me to overstep and react.

Here is the truth from someone who witnessed this from a 1 meter distance and had to act with civil courage and wanted to settle this to move on without this being a public circus and popularity contest.
