NBK Returns to CS2 Under GenOne Banner

GenOne has dropped a shocking announcement for their new lineup in competitive CS2, fielding a French roster of former Vitality and Falcons stars. In a venture that they have dubbed their most ambitious one so far, the roster boasts a solid CS background with a fine blend of young talent.

Nathan “⁠NBK-⁠” Schmitt headlines the roster for his experience playing in top-tier teams and having spent a long time at the highest level of competitive CS. The 31-year-old boasts a top-tier trophy cabinet that has two Majors and flourished as a supportive player and secondary IGL in the later years of his career.

Joining him will be a fellow mate from Vitality in Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier, who spent a considerable amount of time in Vitality and in several lesser-known teams across the French region. Thomas “⁠Djoko⁠” Pavoni is 3rd notable name in the roster who has showcased a solid track record against top teams in recent years.

Rounding out the team will be two young talents who we assume will be carrying the majority of the firepower.  Hugo “⁠Brooxsy⁠” Di Bono, being a familiar face under the GenOne banner, has dropped performances good enough for the organisation to retain him, and Jordan “⁠Chucky⁠” Molnar has displayed solid performances in the last season, to him a key element of firepower in the freshly minted lineup.

GenOne’s roster will be:

  • Nathan “⁠NBK-⁠” Schmitt
  • Thomas “⁠Djoko⁠” Pavoni
  • Kévin “⁠misutaaa⁠” Rabier
  • Hugo “⁠Brooxsy⁠” Di Bono
  • Jordan “⁠Chucky⁠” Molnar
  • Damien “⁠wasiNk⁠” Dufour (coach)

The new GenOne line-up will debut in the DraculaN Season 2 group stage, where they are amongst the favourites to go through, but waiting in the playoffs will be the likes of OG, FlyQuest, and ECSTATIC. The roster looks promising on paper, but only time can tell if they become a competitive force that can climb up the tier ladder of professional CS2.

After a largely unpredictable Group Stage and a series of upsets that left most players’ Pick’Ems in shambles, Valorant players are regaining their composure and recalibrating their expectations as we head into the Playoffs stage for Champions Paris 2025.

With only eight teams remaining in the run for the prestigious trophy, a lot of the fan favorites to win Valorant Champions 2025 are already out of the tournament. Sentinels’ shock elimination alone shattered 60.1% of all Pick’Ems brackets.

Mezii Makes Esports History: First Player to Receive Custom X Hashtag

William ‘Mezii’ Merriman, already a name recognized in Counter-Strike circles, has just made digital history—he’s the first esports athlete to receive a personalized hashtag on X (formerly Twitter). This distinction isn’t just a virtual pat on the back. It’s a sign that competitive gaming’s biggest personalities are now claiming the kind of cultural spotlight once reserved for traditional athletes and pop stars.

Here’s what happened: On July 23, Mezii revealed his brand new hashtags, #kingmezii and #mEZii, both featuring a bold yellow and black ‘M’ crowned logo. This isn’t just a clever design; it puts Mezii into the ranks of icons recognized on the world’s largest social platforms. Even X’s official UK account joined the online applause.

The Numbers Tell the Story

  • Second-highest-earning UK esports player: $935,135 (~£690,868) in career prize money
  • Only bested by Jaden ‘Wolfiez’ Ashman, the Fortnite phenom, with $1.3 million (~£960,469)

Mezii’s momentum is staggering. Just last month, he became the first UK player to hoist a Counter-Strike Major trophy after Team Vitality’s big win at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. And that’s hardly his team’s only 2025 success. Since February, they’ve been on an unbeaten run, chalking up wins at:

  • Three Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) events
  • BLAST Open Spring
  • BLAST Rivals Sprint
  • ESL Pro League Season 21

What’s Next: All Eyes on Cologne

So where does Mezii go from here? The answer: IEM Cologne 2025. As one of 24 elite squads, Team Vitality will contend for its share of a $1 million (~£738,460) prize pool. All signs point to them as favorites—they’re ranked top in the Valve Regional Standings, and another win would mark their ninth tournament victory this year

Mezii’s story is more than high scores and winnings. It’s proof that esports has carved out a permanent, visible spot in popular culture. A custom hashtag isn’t just a clever marketing move—it’s a digital milestone that signals how far competitive gaming and its brightest stars have come.

If you thought major esports moments happened on-stage, think again. Sometimes, they happen in your notifications, right next to a little crowned ‘M’ on X.

Esports Nations Cup Announced: Global National Teams to Compete in 2026

Esports Nations Cup Announced: Global National Teams to Compete in 2026

Here’s the bottom line: the Esports Nations Cup (ENC) is the world’s first real, recurring, high-stakes battle between countries in competitive gaming. Announced by the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF), it’s a landmark moment—esports is finally getting its own Olympics, but for national teams.

The Big Idea

For years, esports has been dominated by clubs, brands, and individual stars. The Esports World Cup brought the world’s best clubs together. Now, the ENC is something else entirely: players will compete for their countries, not just their teams. It’s a format every sports fan knows—nation versus nation, flag flying, national anthem, all that. For esports, it’s new. And it’s happening every two years, starting November 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with future events rotating around the globe.

Ralf Reichert, CEO of the EWCF, put it simply: “Nation versus nation competition is the ultimate expression of sport. The ENC makes this a reality for esports, giving every fan a flag to rally behind and every player the pride of representing their country.” The ambition? Build heroes, inspire new generations, and give every country a real shot at esports greatness.

Who’s Behind It

The ENC is a collaboration with global gaming giants: Electronic Arts, Krafton, Tencent, and Ubisoft. These partners aren’t just sponsors—they’re co-developers, shaping qualification, rankings, and formats for each game. The goal is to make sure the ENC feels authentic, competitive, and fair, whether you’re in Seoul, São Paulo, or New York.

How It Works

  • All major regions: North America, South America, Europe, MENA, Africa, Asia, and SEA & Oceania will field national squads.
  • Both team and solo formats: It’s not just team-based—individual players can also represent their countries.
  • Inclusive qualification: The system combines global rankings, regional qualifiers, and wildcard spots, including solidarity placements for emerging nations. This isn’t just about big markets—every region gets a path to compete.
  • Guaranteed prize money: Every player gets paid, with equal rewards across all games—no favorite titles, no bias.
  • Every two years: The steady schedule lets federations, governments, and brands invest in long-term national programs.

The Money and the Mission

While official prize details haven’t been disclosed, reports suggest the inaugural ENC’s pot will be comparable to the massive purses seen at the Esports World Cup—an eye-popping figure. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, a plan to diversify the kingdom’s economy, is behind this, with significant investment flowing into the future of esports.

But this isn’t just about the Middle East. The ENC is designed for global reach—both as a spectacle and as a platform for growth. For countries with fledgling esports scenes, the ENC offers structured national team pathways, broadcast deals, and grassroots opportunities. For fans, it’s a chance to root for your country in the biggest esports tournaments ever conceived.

The Bigger Picture

The ENC isn’t just an event. It’s a blueprint—for how esports can mature, institutionalize, and rival traditional sports in national consciousness. It’s also a bet on something even bigger: the power of national identity to drive engagement, investment, and passion in a still-young industry.

In November 2026, Riyadh will host the world’s first true esports “World Cup” for national teams—the closest thing gaming has ever seen to a digital Olympics. And for the first time, fans everywhere will have a country to cheer for, not just a club.

This isn’t just a tournament. It’s a threshold moment for global esports—the kind of thing you’ll remember where you were when you first heard about it.

The Daft Punk pack will go on sale in the Fortnite Item Shop on September 25, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET (1:00 AM BST on September 26). This is the same time frame that Fortnite typically refreshes its daily Item Shop, so it should be readily available to consumers globally.

FURIA Wins FISSURE Playground 2

With no one expecting to come up clutch, FURIA has taken down MongolZ in the best of 5 Grand Finals to win the Fissure Playground 2. In what was their first Grand Finals appearance in two years, the Brazilian side walked away with the victory from the podium.

VETO

  • The MongolZ removed Train
  • FURIA removed Ancient
  • The MongolZ picked Mirage
  • FURIA picked Inferno
  • The MongolZ picked Nuke
  • FURIA picked Overpass
  • Dust2 was left over

Map 1: Mirage; Pick: MongolZ; Winner: FURIA

Being their comfort pick, MongolZ started strong on their offense, going 3-0 up before FURIA hit the board. Having hit the scoreboard, the Brazilians were anything but consistent, leading to MongolZ running away with the first half with a 4-8 scoreline. FURIA turned a few heads and replicated the scoreline to pull off a stunning comeback. With the regulation failing to separate the two teams, FURIA in overtime did not let more than a single round slip and closed the map with a 16-13 scoreline. Molodoy continued his dominance across the map with 28 kills to give his team an early lead.

Map 2: Inferno; Pick: FURIA; Winner: MongolZ

Dropping the ball after the first round, MongolZ let FURIA take control of the map on their offense. The MongolZ defense failed miserably, leading the Brazilians to run all over them. Having somehow managed to win 4 rounds in the first half, MongolZ laid the foundation for a comeback in the second. The scoreline would suggest an easy win for FURIA, but MongolZ kept pulling in round after round, with FURIA’s defense being rendered helpless. FURIA were on the verge of winning as the final round of the map saw MongolZ close the game in regulation. 1.78 IR from the Senzu level series for MongolZ, and ensured that FURIA doesn’t have an easy time.

Map 3: Nuke; Pick: MongolZ; Winner: FURIA

6-0 to start the game, FURIA put MongolZ on another comeback route right from the start of Nuke. Largely dominant for the better part of the half, they made the Asian team work for the measly 3 rounds that they managed to get. FURIA continued with their streak from the first half to hit map point, and that’s all they managed in the first half. Jaw-dropping fumble from the Brazilians not only let MongolZ get back in the game, but they even managed to level the scoreline and push to overtime. FURIA got a hold of the game in overtime, where they remained flawless and prevented a disastrous throw to regain their lead in the series. With 25 kills and 1.78 IR, YEKINDAR dropped a masterclass for FURIA to give his team the lead back in the series.

Map 4: Overpass; Pick: FURIA; Winner: MongolZ;

Going down in the series after the loss in Nuke, MongolZ started well on their defense, pulling in a considerable lead without letting FURIA have much hold over the game. Closing the half with an 8-4 scoreline, MongolZ asserted their dominance early on without having to make a comeback. The second half produced a more interesting affair with both teams trading rounds until MongolZ closed the half with a 3-round streak. Winning the match 13-9, MongolZ ensured a 5th map as the decider for the title. Techno4k with 21 kills dopped the impact after a quiet start to the map, which ensured a 5th map as the title decider.

Map 5: Dust2; Pick: Decider; Winner:FURIA;

Starting the map with a 2-0 deficit, FURIA quickly got on the board and managed to end the first half with a narrow lead despite starting poorly. Swapping sides with a 7-5 scoreline, FURIA completely dominated for the rest of the game to the point they went flawless in the final half of the series to win Dust2 over MongolZ and bring home their first trophy in many moons. 19 kills from YEKINDAR once again proved vital and turned out to be the reason why FUIRA stood a fighting chance against the Asian powerhouse.

FURIA has taken down the biggest names in Falcons, G2, and now MongolZ in getting to where they are, and by no means are they to be taken lightly moving forward. This win marks the arrival of a new favourite in the competitive scene.

How to Get Power Rangers Blade Blaster in Fortnite?

The Power Rangers collaboration has introduced the legendary Blade Blaster mythic weapon in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, and it comes packed with a high-power energy-based pistol that is ideal for both bug kill and player dueling. This twinned-mode weapon brings together the retro allure of the original Power Rangers series with Fortnite‘s action-packed gameplay features.

How to Get Power Rangers Blade Blaster in Fortnite?

Acquiring the Blade Blaster is achieved by attaining O.X.R. Rank A within a Battle Royale match. The faction rank system is the core of Season 4’s bug infestation theme, as players need to demonstrate their strength to acquire top-tier equipment. You may increase your O.X.R. rank by eliminating players (75 XP each), killing Queen bugs (200 XP), taking control points (250 XP), destroying Swarmer Nests (30 XP), and taking out Bombers (50 XP).

After reaching Rank A, O.X.R. Bunkers will show up on your map automatically as white symbols. These unique bunkers can be found in four distinct locations: north of Shiny Shafts in the mountain behind the location, directly south of Utopia City prior to Rainbow Fields, southwest of Foxy Floodgate near a snowy mountain, and south of First Order Base, where the snow stops.

Within each bunker, you’ll discover a golden weapon display case holding the Blade Blaster. Just walk up to the case and engage it, and you’ll acquire the weapon for free – no V-Bucks or gold bars needed. Although the weapon sometimes shows up in standard loot chests or rare chests, the bunker method gives you the best guarantee of access.

Fortnite Delulu Mode: What Is It and How to Play?

How to Claim Free Delulu Glider in Fortnite?

The new Fortnite craze is upon us with the Delulu Limited-Time Mode (LTM), giving players a means to earn the sought-after Crashbella Victory Umbrella glider totally for free. This coveted cosmetic, covered in hearts and glitter in colorful pink and purple hues, can only be obtained by winning Fortnite’s wildest and social battle royale mode yet.

What is the Delulu Mode?

Fortnite’s Delulu mode is a groundbreaking shift in battle royale design that integrates the standard Zero Build format with innovative proximity chat capabilities. The weekend-only mode includes 80 players randomly deployed throughout the island without the standard Battle Bus experience. Instead, players must survive a social battlefield where temporary groups can be formed and disbanded at will, creating an unpredictable gaming landscape unlike any other in Fortnite mode.

The mode’s signature element is its proximity voice chat system, which lets players hear and speak with opponents close to them. This opens up possibilities for strategic coordination, surprise alliances, and predictable betrayals as the game progresses towards its inevitable end. There can be only one winner.

How to Claim Free Delulu Glider in Fortnite?

To earn the Delulu glider, players need to achieve one Victory Royale in the Delulu LTM during its short-lived availability time. The mode only runs on weekends, from Friday to Sunday, so timing is essential for earning this limited reward. Players who let these weekend opportunities pass will forfeit their chance to get the glider since Victory Umbrellas have never come back to Fortnite’s Item Shop before.

Delulu has to be won with a radically different strategy from vanilla Fortnite gameplay. Survival is more important than taking risks, since winning even once brings the desired umbrella. Veteran players advise playing for strategic positioning over killy gameplay, especially amidst the hectic last circles where several squads tend to survive.

How to Turn On Proximity Chat in Fortnite?

Team dynamics are a key factor for Delulu’s success. Players are free to join and disband squads via in-game emotes, forming dynamic groupings throughout a match. Clever players use these transient unions to access O.X.R. Chests (two-player requirement) and Supply Drops (three-player requirement), holding better loot than regular chests.

The most effective approach is to acquire traversal items such as Rift Launchers, Shockwave Grenades, or Launch Pads. These items prove invaluable in final circle situations as they enable players to retreat from perilous positions or achieve favorable high ground when the storm encourages close-quarters combat.

Complexity Gaming Exits Counter-Strike After 22 Years, Citing Financial Challenges

Complexity Gaming Exits Counter-Strike After 22 Years, Citing Financial Challenges

One of North America’s most iconic esports organizations, Complexity Gaming, just announced it is stepping away from Counter-Strike after more than two decades in the scene. This is a seismic shift for fans, players, and the industry. Here’s what’s happened and what it means.

The End of an Era

In a personal video statement, CEO and founder Jason Lake broke the news, calling it a “tough day.” He confirmed Complexity is officially withdrawing from all Counter-Strike 2 operations and dropping its roster, ending its 22-year involvement in the franchise. This isn’t just any exit Complexity was one of North America’s last major orgs in the game, and its departure is widely seen as a bellwether for the health (or lack thereof) of North American CS as a whole.

Lake was blunt: “After a real strong 2023 and 2024, 2025 in the esports economy has been really challenging for us. Quite simply, we have not been able to drive enough revenue to afford to properly support a Tier 1 team.” The roster, which hovered around the #20 spot globally, is reportedly moving to Ukrainian organization Passion UA.

Why Now?

For Lake and Complexity, this was a practical business call, not a knee-jerk reaction. The organization reportedly explored every angle to secure investment and sponsorships but found nothing was sustainable in 2025’s climate. “We could have dragged things out, but we wanted to do right by our players,” Lake said. For months, fans and analysts have noted the team’s dwindling results, lack of tournament wins, and inability to attract the kind of sponsorship deals that fuel top teams in Europe and Asia.

The Story Behind the Scene

This isn’t just about one team. The esports landscape in 2025 is brutally difficult for nearly everyone outside the top few global franchises. Organizations struggle to make money unless they consistently win – or partner with betting companies, which Complexity notably avoided for integrity reasons, a decision that may have cost them financially. As Lake put it, “We’ve tried everything. This was not the outcome any of us wanted, but it’s the only responsible one.”

The move leaves North America without a prominent org to carry its flag in Counter-Strike’s main league—a status only heightened by Complexity’s storied history, global fanbase, and connections to big-name partners like the Dallas Cowboys.

What Happens Now?

There are no immediate plans for Complexity to return to Counter-Strike until the economic picture improves. Lake thanked the players, staff, and fans for their support, and promised to fulfill all community tournament obligations, including the NA Revival Series.

For North American Counter-Strike, this is a symbolic blow—yet another sign that even the most passionate and resilient organizations are finding it impossible to sustain top-tier teams amid shrinking revenues, tough competition, and a shifting sponsorship landscape. One thing’s for sure: anyone who still thinks esports is an easy business hasn’t been paying attention.

India Makes Esports Official: Gaming Bill Passes Lok Sabha, Bans Real Money Games

India Makes Esports Official: Gaming Bill Passes Lok Sabha, Bans Real Money Games

India just drew a line in the sand for its gaming industry. The Lok Sabha passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025 on Wednesday, August 20, officially recognizing esports as a legitimate sport while completely banning real money gaming platforms.

Here’s what this means: if you’re a professional gamer competing in tournaments, you’re now officially an athlete. If you’re running a fantasy sports platform or online poker site, you’re looking at up to three years in prison.

What the Bill Actually Does

The legislation splits India’s gaming world into four clear categories: esports, educational games, social gaming, and real money gaming. The first three get government backing and promotion. The fourth gets banned entirely.

Esports gets the royal treatment. The bill defines esports as competitive, skill-based online games that require “physical dexterity, mental agility, and strategic thinking”. These games will now fall under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, putting them in the same league as cricket and football.

The government plans to create training institutions, set event guidelines, run awareness programs, and coordinate with state governments to build proper infrastructure for esports athletes. Think coaching facilities, research centers, and structured tournaments with the same status as national-level sporting events.

Real money games face complete shutdown. Any platform requiring entry fees or monetary deposits—whether skill-based or chance-based—is now illegal. This includes popular fantasy sports platforms like Dream11 and poker sites. Banks can’t process their payments, advertisements are banned, and anyone caught facilitating these platforms faces criminal penalties.

The Money Behind This Decision

Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw didn’t mince words when explaining the crackdown. He called online money gaming “a menace worse than drugs” and said it has already claimed young lives. The government estimates that middle-class families have lost life savings to these platforms, with some cases ending in suicide.

The industry numbers tell a different story though. India’s online gaming sector was valued at over Rs 2 lakh crores, generating Rs 31,000 crores in annual revenue and Rs 20,000 crores in taxes. Growing at 20% annually, it was set to double by 2028.

That growth trajectory just hit a wall. The real money gaming segment—which includes fantasy sports giants like Dream11—faces complete elimination under the new law.

What Happens Next

The bill now moves to the Rajya Sabha for final approval before becoming law. Once enacted, a National e-Sports Authority will oversee the competitive gaming sector, setting standards for tournaments, player training, and industry development.

For esports athletes, this recognition means potential government funding, structured career paths, and international representation opportunities. India already competed in esports at the 2018 Asian Games, where Tirth Mehta won bronze in HearthStone.

For real money gaming platforms, the countdown has begun. They’ll need to either pivot their business models or shut down operations entirely once the law takes effect.

The government clearly believes the trade-off is worth it—sacrificing a multi-billion dollar industry to protect consumers from gambling addiction while legitimizing competitive gaming as a professional sport. Whether that calculation proves correct will depend on how successfully India can build its esports infrastructure and compete globally in this rapidly growing sector.
