Riot Games has finally heard from the League of Legends Community and decided to make some changes to the format for EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024. The updated format will see 60 teams competing for the title. Let’s check out EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024 format.

In the new format, all accredited ERLs will receive 6 slots each, where the top 3 from each league will directly qualify for the Swiss Stage while the next 3 will qualify for the Last Chance Qualifiers(LCQ). On the other hand Non-accredited ERLs will get 4 slots each. The number of teams from non-accredited ERLs qualifying into the Swiss Stage and the LCQ stage, will depend on the respective ERLs performance at recent EM events.

Last Chance Qualifiers(LCQ)

With the regional protection applied, the LCQ will start on July 31 and run until August 2. Here the 32 teams will be split randomly in 4 groups. The first two rounds of the LCQ will feature best-of-three matches, while the final round (Round 3) will see teams compete in a best-of-five match to qualify for the Swiss Stage. Only 4 teams from LCQ will move to the Swiss Stage

Here the 4 teams qualified from LCQ will meet the directly qualified 28 teams from ERLs. This stage will start on August 5 and run until August 13. During this stage, all teams will try to secure at least 4 wins to qualify for Playoffs. Any team that loses 4 time will automatically be eliminated.

Teams will compete in best-of-one matches until the qualification/elimination matches, then the format will switch to best-of-three matches. From the Swiss Stage, 16 teams will then advance to Playoffs.

Here teams will have no second chances, meaning if you lose even 1 match, you are out. The stage will run from August 15 to August 22. The EMEA Masters Summer Split 2024 Final will be on August 30.

With that being said, this will be an action-packed championship offering entertainment all the way from July 31 to August 30. May the best team win.

Counter Strike 2 Pro nbgee12 Banned For Stealing Pro SSDs

ESL/FACEIT have recently banned the 19 year old Counter Strike 2 pro player, Adam ‘nbgee12’ Zanzoul. The reason for the ban was confirmed after nbgee12 confessed to “taking stuff’ that he wasn’t supposed to during IEM Dallas. Let’s take a look at why this 19 year old CS2 pro player was banned by ESL/FACEIT.

The incident came to light when nbgee12 confessed on CoJoMo’s live stream when the 19 year old was asked about his ban. nbgee12 confessed to being allowed in the venue(IEM Dallas) at night and then ‘taking’ SSDs belonging to Stewie2k, NiKo and NertZ. In the stream, CoJoMo talked about a five year ban, however this five year ban was later changed to a permanent ban by ESL. After the ban, nbgee12’s FACEIT page now reflects a ‘BANNED FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT’ tag.

The 19 year old has not disclosed the intentions behind taking the SSDs. Later on in the stream he went on to explain that no excuse would justify his actions but he was ‘super sleep deprived, hungry and under influence.’ ESL/FACEIT chose the ban hammer as SSDs that nbgee12 took were the ones used by players during IEM Dallas.

Regardless of the reasoning behind taking the SSDs, nbgee12 was detained by the authorities on May 31. It is important to note that this is not the first rodeo for nbgee12. He was earlier banned by FACEIT Pro League for attempted match-fixing which resulted in a 100 years long ban. But that ban was lifted by ESL due to a change in policies. Just 60 days after the old was lifted and nbgee12 has found himself facing a permanent ban.

With the ban, ESL/FACEIT have shown their commitment to preserving the integrity of the game and maintaining an environment of fair-practices. Needless to say, nbgee12 won’t be participating in any ESL/FACEIT events any time soon.

Rare AK-47 Skin in Counter-Strike 2 Sold for Over £700,000

In a landmark event in the gaming industry, a rare AK-47 skin in the popular video game Counter-Strike 2 has been sold for an astounding $1 million (£700,000). This sale has set a new record, making it the most expensive publicly sold cosmetic in the history of video games. The sale underscores the high demand for rare cosmetics in the gaming world, where the chance of unlocking such items in loot boxes is extremely low.

The Million-Dollar Skin

The skin, known as the AK-47 StatTrak Blue Gem, first appeared on the Chinese Counter-Strike marketplace Buff in January. It features the highly sought-after pattern 661 and is in factory new condition. The price of such skins is influenced by various factors, including aesthetics, condition (whether it appears battle-damaged or not), rarity, and the popularity of the weapon among fans.

High-Value Skins in Counter-Strike 2

This is not the first time that a skin in Counter-Strike 2 has fetched a high price. Other notable sales include a £215,000 M4A4 Howl and a $400,000 AK-47 Case Hardened skin. However, the sale of the AK-47 StatTrak Blue Gem has set a new benchmark in the world of gaming cosmetics.

The market for rare and expensive skins in Counter-Strike 2 is a testament to the passion and recognition that players attach to owning these coveted items. The prices of these skins can reach unprecedented levels, with some even comparing the market to that of paintings by famous artists.

Other high-value skins in the game include the Souvenir version of the AWP Dragon Lore, which has reached prices of up to $150,000, and the Karambit Case Hardened (Blue Gem), which had an offer of $1.5 million. The Wild Lotus AK-47 skin, known for its visually appealing aesthetics, can fetch around $12,000 for a Minimal Damage Covert Rifle variant.

Impact of Counter-Strike 2 Release on Skin Market

The release of Counter-Strike 2 in September 2023 had a significant impact on the in-game skin market, with prices, particularly for higher-tier and popular skins, experiencing a decline. This drop in prices was attributed to several factors, including disappointment in the game’s unfinished state, changes in the appearance and perceived wear of skins due to the new engine, and a sense of panic among collectors about the game’s direction.

Despite these challenges, the market for rare and expensive skins in Counter-Strike 2 continues to thrive, reflecting the enduring appeal of these digital collectibles.

Indian Esports Player Criticizes Indian TOs for Delayed Prize Distribution

0

The Indian esports scene has seen a meteoric rise in popularity and participation over the last couple of years. However, the tournament organizers (TOs) are now facing criticism for a recurring issue that threatens to undermine its growth –  the delayed distribution of prize money. Numerous esports teams and players have voiced their frustration over the prolonged waits for their hard-earned winnings, raising concerns about the professionalism and reliability of tournament organizers in India.

Indian Valorant pro Tejas “rite2ace” Sawant also voiced his frustration for the same. He took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his dissatisfaction. In his post, rite2ace praised Nodwin Gaming for adhering to their promise of clearing prize money within 45-60 days. However, he also pointed out that some organizers have far less acceptable practices, stating, “One of them told us it would be cleared after 180 days lmao.”

Consequences of Delayed Prize Distribution in Indian Esports

The delay in prize money distribution not only affects the players financially but also impacts their morale and trust in the system. Esports, unlike traditional sports, often relies heavily on prize winnings as a significant source of income for players and teams. Delays can thus create financial instability and discourage new talent from entering the field.

The problem is not new. For years, players and teams have been vocal about the delay in the disbursement of prize money. Despite the growth of the esports industry in India and the increasing number of tournaments being held, the issue persists. The Indian esports industry is at a crucial juncture. As it continues to grow and attract global attention, addressing issues like delayed prize money distribution is essential.
