GamerLegion Outshines Aurora in BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1

GamerLegion Outshines Aurora in BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1

GamerLegion, under new leadership, has delivered once again with a convincing win over Aurora to secure its spot in the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 LAN finals. The leadership of Snax has turned the tide for the roster as they look more gelled together.

VETO

  • GamerLegion removed Anubis
  • Aurora removed Ancient
  • GamerLegion picked Inferno
  • Aurora picked Dust2
  • GamerLegion removed Overpass
  • Aurora removed Nuke
  • Mirage was left over

Map 1: Inferno; Pick: GamerLegion; Winner: GamerLegion

Aurora, on their defense, kicked things off well before GL hit them back with the first gun round and managed to put together 4 rounds in a row before Aurora could win a round. Despite the streak, the Aurora defense had their opponent’s number for the remainder of the half as they managed to close it by winning all of the remaining rounds with an 8-4 lead. Despite the lead, GamerLegion managed to put up a defense just as good and hit map point before Aurora won the final three rounds of regulation to push the map to OT. The first half of OT went the way of the Turkish side, but GL caught up to win all of the remaining rounds to bring home their map pick. PR coming in with 28 kills and posting 1.54 IR proved to be a thorn in the side of Aurora while giving his team a much-needed early lead in the series.

Map 2: Dust2; Pick: Aurora; Winner: Aurora

A 5-0 start for Aurora set the pace of the second map after a tough loss on Inferno. GamerLegion got their first round on the board in the 4th round, which they built on to get 4 rounds in a row before Aurora won the remaining rounds to post a similar 8-4 dominant half. GamerLegion cut in on the lead off the back of pistol round conversion before Aurora managed to get back on the board to retain their lead. The 16th round onwards saw both teams trading rounds as Aurora edged out a comfortable win, taking us to the final map of the series. 17 kills and 1.35 IR from starman XANTARES helped Aurora pick up a much-needed 13-10 win to see the game go to Mirage.

Map 3: Mirage; Pick: Decider; Winner: GamerLegion

Mirage is where GamerLegion took things to the next level after having slow starts in the first half of the previous maps. 9-0 start to the game gave GamerLegion the much-needed dominant start to the map while putting Aurora under the burden of a massive lead. Winning 2 rounds by the end of the first half saw the Turkish side salvage two rounds by the end of the half to post a dominant 10-2 lead in the game. Aurora started their offense with 3 rounds in a row, but GamerLegion did not waste any more time, stopping the comeback right in its tracks to win the map with a 13-5 scoreline.

Aurora’s poor performances are particularly disappointing considering the big names on their team, and their early exit suggests that changes are needed within the roster. Only time will tell if they find their footing, but as of now, they are down and out.

Epic Games Shares New Rules for Prize Wheel Gambling in Fortnite

Epic Games Shares New Rules for Prize Wheel Gambling in Fortnite

Epic Games has introduced a new Fortnite Developer Rule that prohibits Creative builders from incorporating “prize wheel” gambling in their islands.

For the unaware, Epic had pushed out an update last week that enabled Creative builders to allow in-game purchases on their islands. However, shortly after the feature went live, the devs behind the popular Creative map Steal the Brainrot not only added item bundles that cost up to 4900 V-bucks, but also added a prize wheel option where players could spend V-bucks to increase their “luck” with each spin.

This may have caught the attention of Epic Games, as the devs behind Fortnite have now stepped in with a new set of rules prohibiting prize wheel gambling for Creative maps.

On January 16, Epic updated the Fortnite Developer Rules to include the following provision: “Do not offer any in-island transactions that directly or indirectly influence prize wheels in any way. For example, you must not offer as an in-island transaction a ‘spin’ or ‘increased luck’ for a prize wheel.”

This rule is set to go into effect starting January 20, 2026.

Note that this doesn’t mean the removal of loot boxes entirely from the Fortnite Creative Maps. While Epic-made games continue to remain free from loot boxes, Creative map developers can choose to incorporate loot box-style items should they choose to do so. However, they won’t be able to introduce transactions that influence prize wheels in any form.

For the time being, the creators get to keep 100% of the money they generate through sales made on their islands. Starting February 2027, these sales will be split evenly between Epic Games and island developers.

BGMI PC Download Guide: How to Play BGMI on Windows (2026)

Many players prefer experiencing Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) on a larger screen with keyboard and mouse controls. While there is no standalone BGMI PC client from Krafton, the game can be played on Windows PCs and laptops using Android emulators in a safe and straightforward way.

Is There an Official BGMI PC Version?

Krafton has not released a dedicated BGMI PC version. The only legitimate method to play BGMI on PC is through trusted Android emulators that run the official mobile build of the game. This approach allows players to log in with their existing accounts and preserve progress, skins, and statistics.

Several emulators work well with BGMI:

  • GameLoop: Widely used for battle royale titles and offers preset key mappings for shooting games.
  • BlueStacks 5: Known for a user-friendly interface and stable performance on mid-range and high-end systems.
  • Other options: Emulators such as LDPlayer or MEmu can also run BGMI reliably on lower-spec hardware.

Before installing, ensure your PC meets basic requirements such as Windows 10/11, at least 8 GB of RAM, and sufficient free storage space.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Download BGMI on PC

  1. Download an emulator: Visit the official website of your chosen emulator and install the latest version for Windows.
  2. Install and set up the emulator: Open the emulator after installation and complete the initial setup, including signing in with a Google account.
  3. Search for BGMI: Open the built-in app store (usually Google Play Store), search for “Battlegrounds Mobile India” or “BGMI,” and select the official game by Krafton.
  4. Download and install BGMI: Click “Install” and wait for the game files to download and complete installation inside the emulator.
  5. Log in and configure controls: Launch BGMI, log in with your existing account, and adjust key mapping and sensitivity settings according to your preference.

Tips for Better Performance

For a smoother BGMI experience on PC:

  • Lower graphics settings if you notice frame drops or stuttering.
  • Close unnecessary background applications to free up RAM and CPU usage.
  • Keep both the emulator and BGMI updated to the latest versions for stability and compatibility.

Playing BGMI on PC is no longer a complicated workaround but a practical option for players who prefer precise controls and a wider field of view. By using a trusted Android emulator and following the steps outlined above, you can enjoy the full Battlegrounds Mobile India experience on your desktop or laptop while keeping your account and progress intact. As always, download software only from official sources and stay within the game’s terms of service to ensure a smooth and secure experience.

Buenos Aires & Shanghai to Host CS2 Majors in 2027

For the first time in the history of Counter-Strike 2, Argentina is set to host a Major event, marking a historic milestone for the region and the global competitive CS2 scene.

As per a recent HLTV report, the first CS2 Major of 2027 will be organized by FiReSPORTS in Buenos Aires, with the organization’s Founder and CEO, Rodrigo Figueroa Reyes, confirming the information.

“We’re very excited to host the first Major in the history of our country,” Reyes said in a statement to HLTV. “Fans will be delighted to come to a city like Buenos Aires, a city that blends European and Latin American influences, where they will be surprised by the passion of Counter-Strike fans in Argentina. We are going to give it our all to make this a great Major.”

The Buenos Aires Major is scheduled to take place from May 31 to June 20, 2027, and will mark the first South American Major since the IEM Rio Major 2022. With this event, Argentina becomes the fourteenth country to host a Valve-backed Counter-Strike Major.

The second CS2 Major of 2027 will return to Shanghai, China, with Perfect World, Valve’s regional publisher, serving as the tournament organizer. It’s set to take place between November 22 and December 12 and will mark the return of a CS2 Major to China following the Shanghai Major in 2024.

Note that Perfect World has not yet issued an official confirmation regarding this information.

India Bans 242 Illegal Betting and Gambling Websites – Reports

India Bans 242 Illegal Betting and Gambling Websites – Reports

The Indian government has taken strong action against illegal online betting and gambling by blocking hundreds of websites. This move is part of a wider effort to protect users, especially young people, from financial harm and online fraud. So far, nearly 8,000 unregulated betting and gambling platforms have been shut down after new gaming laws came into effect.

India Bans 242 Illegal Betting and Gambling Websites

On January 16, 2026, the Union government ordered the blocking of 242 illegal betting and gambling websites. These links were taken offline under strict rules of the newly enforced Online Gaming Act. This law aims to curb websites that offer real-money gaming and betting opportunities without proper approval.

Total Blocked Platforms Since Last Year

Government agencies say that the recent action is part of a larger campaign against illegal betting platforms. After the Online Gaming Act was passed, authorities stepped up enforcement. So far, over 7,800 illegal betting and gambling sites have been banned in India.

Why Is the Government Taking Action?

Officials say the crackdown has two main goals:

Protect players from addiction and fraud: Illegal betting sites can cause big financial losses and encourage addictive behavior among users.

Stop social harm and financial risk: These sites often operate without regulation, exposing people, especially youth to money loss and scams.

The Online Gaming Act not only bans unauthorized betting, it also regulates online gaming activities and restricts advertisements related to real-money games.

With this law now in force, the government plans to tighten monitoring of online gaming platforms. Sites that break the rules could face fines or legal penalties. Players are not usually punished, but site operators and promoters can face action if they ignore the ban.

The aim is to build a safer online gaming environment in India, while encouraging legitimate games like e-sports and social gaming that don’t involve real money.

Donk Shines as Spirit Wins Against SINNERS in BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1

Team Spirit and Donk have picked up right where they left off last season with a comfortable 2-0 win over SINNERS at the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1. A close first map followed by an easy second secures the first win of the new CS2 season for the CIS side.

VETO

  • Spirit removed Inferno
  • SINNERS removed Anubis
  • Spirit picked Mirage
  • SINNERS picked Nuke
  • Spirit removed Ancient
  • SINNERS removed Overpass
  • Dust2 was left over

Map 1: Mirage; Pick: Spirit; Winner: Spirit

A surprisingly good start for SINNERS saw them get off to a 6-1 start before Spirit managed to get a hold of the game. Individuals struggling early on in the map gave SINNERS the room that they needed to pick up a few rounds before Spirit came back with a few rounds to post a levelled scoreline by the end of the first half. Spirit continued the momentum into the second half and in the process managed to reach a scoreline of 10-6 before SINNERS started mounting a comeback, closing in on the lead. Two consecutive rounds from Spirit put them on map point before Spirit managed to convert the final round of regulation to close out the first map with a tight scoreline of 13-11. An inhuman 1.88 IR with 28 kills saw Donk put up his usual numbers to give his side an early lead in the series.

Map 2: Nuke; Pick: SINNERS; Winner: Spirit

Despite being a freshly introduced map in their pool, Spirit started confidently on Nuke, but SINNERS managed to challenge them well, consequently posting a fairly well-contested first half similar to Mirage. Swapping sides with a 5-7 scoreline, SINNERS dropped the ball, leading to Spirit posting a perfect offence and closing the door for a third map. A flawless 6-0 offence from Spirit closed the map with a 13-5 scoreline, and while Donk posted good numbers, it was tN1R who stood out as the best performer.

Spirit’s loss at the Major last year was a massive setback for the team, leading to Spirit undergoing a massive roster shuffle, and now the roster unites under a new leader. Only time will tell if the new line-up gets the results that it is built for, but until then, the results are looking good for the organization.

9z Signs “dgt” to its CS2 Roster

9z Signs “dgt” to its CS2 Roster

Uruguayan Counter-Strike 2 pro Franco “dgt” Garcia is returning to the team 9z roster!

The Argentine esports organization officially confirmed the addition of the 24-year-old to its CS2 roster via an X post on January 15.

“Let’s write the story together, again,” a rough translation of the post reads. “Welcome home, dgt.”

For the unaware, dgt has spent a significant portion of his career playing for the 9z CS2 roster, representing the org from May 2019 to February 2025. He later joined paiN Gaming, where he competed under the Brazilian banner from April to December 2025 and even managed to secure a semi-final slot in the BLAST Austin Major.

Dgt will fill the void left by the departure of Luca “Luken” Nadotti from the 9z roster. Nadotti didn’t renew his contract with 9z and left to join Gaimin Gladiators earlier this month.

With the acquisition of dgt, the current 9z CS2 roster includes the following players:

  • Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez
  • Franco “dgt” Garcia
  • Ignacio “meyern” Meyer
  • Luciano “luchov” Herrera
  • Matías “HUASOPEEK” Ibañez
  • Bruno “BIT” Fukuda (coach)

Before this, 9z had already made two changes to its CS2 roster in December 2025. With this third change, the team may find itself having a tough time securing direct invites to major events in the upcoming season, as its Valve Regional Standings (VRS) will be heavily impacted.
