Global Esports Signs Benkai to Their Valorant 2024 Roster

0

Global Esports is undergoing a significant transformation in the competitive Valorant scene with a slew of changes. The latest change is the addition of Benedict “Benkai” Tan, the former Valorant player for Paper Rex, to the organization’s roster for the 2024 season. This signing represents a crucial move in the “hard reset” of Global Esports’ Valorant roster.

Global Esports’ Valorant Roster For VCT 2024 Season

Global Esports has set the stage for the VCT 2024 season with the addition of Benedict “Benkai” Tan to their roster. The signing comes as a part of the “hard reset” of the organization’s Valorant roster as it announced a few days ago.

Global Esports’ Valorant roster for the 2024 season includes:

  • Benedict “Benkai” Tan (Singapore)
  • Peter “Spin” Bradford – Coach (United Kingdom)
  • Morgan “BigTime” Jay – Assistant Coach (United Kingdom)

Benkai’s journey in esports has been nothing short of remarkable. He initially joined Paper Rex in June 2020 during their Counter-Strike (CS) days. Despite a successful stint in CS, Benkai and Paper Rex took a calculated risk by transitioning to Valorant in February 2021. This bold move paid off handsomely, as both Paper Rex and Benkai had a commendable journey in Valorant esports.

During his tenure with Paper Rex, Benkai achieved numerous milestones. These include an impressive run to the grand finals of VCT 2022: Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen, a commendable fourth-place finish at VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters, and the crowning glory of winning the VCT Pacific League this season. His consistent performance on the international stage has cemented his reputation as one of bets players in Singapore.

What sets Benkai apart is not just his in-game capability but also his vibrant personality. He has become known for his memorable walkouts at international events, adding an extra layer of entertainment for fans.

Solving the VAN 81 Error in Valorant: A Comprehensive Guide

0

Valorant, Riot Games’ first-person shooter, has taken the gaming world by storm. However, like any online game, it’s not without its technical hiccups. One such issue that has been plaguing players is the notorious VAN 81 error code. This guide aims to shed light on this error and provide a step-by-step solution to get you back into the game.

What Is the VAN 81 Error

Before diving into the solutions, it’s essential to grasp what the VAN 81 error signifies. This error usually pops up when there’s a connection issue between the player’s client and the Valorant server. It can be caused by various factors, from server outages to individual connectivity problems.

Step-by-Step Solutions to Tackle the Error

  1. Check Server Status: Before anything else, ensure that Valorant’s servers are operational. Riot Games usually provides updates on server downtimes or maintenance, so it’s a good idea to check their official channels or website.
  2. Restart the Game Client: Sometimes, the simplest solution is the most effective. Close the game and relaunch it. This action can reset the connection and potentially resolve the error.
  3. Reset Your Internet Connection: If the error persists, try resetting your modem or router. A fresh connection might be all you need.
  4. Disable VPN or Proxy: If you’re using a VPN or proxy, it might interfere with the game’s connection. Disable it temporarily and try connecting to Valorant again.
  5. Firewall and Antivirus Settings: Ensure that your firewall or antivirus hasn’t mistakenly flagged Valorant. If it has, make sure to whitelist the game.

Contacting Support

If none of the above solutions work, it might be time to reach out to Riot Games’ support. They can provide more personalized solutions and might be aware of any ongoing issues that haven’t been publicly disclosed yet.

While the VAN 81 error can be frustrating, it’s essential to remember that technical issues are common in online games.

Cloud9 Parts Ways with Zellsis, leaf, runi, and qpert in VALORANT Roster Shakeup

0

Cloud9 has recently announced a significant shake-up in its VALORANT team, parting ways with four key players and their head coach, Matthew “mCe” Elmore. This decision comes after the team’s lackluster performance in major international events, including Masters Tokyo and Champions 2023.

Veteran Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro, in-game leader Dylan “runi” Cade, Mateja “qpert” Mijović, and rising star Nathan “leaf” Orf have all been released from the team. Leaf’s exit is particularly surprising, given his standout performance as the team’s duelist.

Leaf had an impressive run, boasting the second-highest average combat score, the third-highest average damage per round, and the highest clutch percentage in the Americas League. Despite these individual achievements, the team as a whole failed to make a significant impact.

Cloud9 started the year as an underdog but quickly rose to prominence, tying for first place with LOUD by the end of the regular season. However, their playoff journey was cut short after losses to Evil Geniuses and NRG Esports.

Recent reports suggest that Cloud9 is eyeing Anthony “vanity” Malaspina and Francis “OXY” Hoang to join the remaining members, Jake “jakee” Anderson and Erick “Xeppaa” Bach. This new lineup aims to achieve the success that eluded Cloud9 in the past seasons.

COD Warzone Players Fume as Cheaters Continue to Evade Bans

0

While cheaters have always been a nuisance in Call of Duty games, their presence has become increasingly disruptive in Warzone over the past few years. Activision has taken several steps but cheaters have managed to slip through the cracks of the anti-cheat system.

Call of Duty Warzone players have criticized Activision for what appears to be a heavier focus on banning players who abuse voice and text chat compared to those who actually hack and cheat in the game.

Ban waves were implemented as a measure, but the development of the Ricochet anti-cheat system was also necessitated by these issues, with the primary goal of addressing the cheater problem.

Despite several attempts to fix the anticheat, Activision has failed to keep their game cheater free however, gamers have complained that the people who are abusing the voice chat system are getting caught more often than real cheaters who are blatantly using aimbots, wallhacks and godmodes.

Several users on reddit agreed to the claims made by _TheRealBuster_. Activision has been disproportionate about banning of cheaters to voice chat abusers. Fans are calling out the developers to just ban the blatantly obvious cheaters who go by undetected through the anti-cheat.

New Counter Strike 2 Update Aims To Fix Its Peeker’s Advantage Problem

0

Counter Strike 2 is still in its testing phase, which is why bugs and glitches aren’t that uncommon to be found in the game. While the devs are generally swift to patch out the majority of these issues, there has been a persistent problem that players of the title have been constantly complaining about – peeker’s advantage. 

For the uninitiated, peeker’s advantage is a common mechanic in online multiplayer games. It occurs when a player peeks around a corner or angle, allowing them to spot an enemy before the enemy has a chance to spot them.

While peeker’s advantage was also prominent in CSGO, players claim that it has gotten way worse in CS2, with players with high ping abusing this mechanic to score free kills. Fortunately, it seems that the developers have already taken note of the issue, as Valve has recently shipped an update to CS2 that aims to fix this problem.

A gameplay change from the September 14th patch notes for CS2 states that the lag compensation has been rebalanced “to favor lower-latency players”, which is likely to fix the peeker’s advantage problem in the game. However, the effectiveness of this change in addressing the issue is yet to be determined.

In case you’re curious to check out the detailed patch notes of the newest CS2 update, you can check out the official blog post by Valve. We have also included it below for your convenience:

[ MAPS ]

  • Anubis
    • Various clipping adjustments

[ GAMEPLAY ]

  • Rebalanced lag compensation to favor lower-latency players
  • Fixed a bug where dropped grenades were invisible
  • Fixed a bug where dropped bombs and weapons would appear in the wrong location

[ MISC ]

  • Various bug fixes and tweaks to weapon finishes

Jake Paul defends Nina Agdal ahead of Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis match

0

In the upcoming match between Logan Paul and Dillon Daniels, Jake Paul has stepped out to defend Nina Agdal in light of recent criticism online.

As the October 14th fight between Dillon and Logan approaches, the former UFC fighter has escalated the situation by launching deeply personal attacks on the YouTuber-turned-wrestler.

He has relentlessly targeted Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, by sharing fabricated photos of her with other men and a few real ones, leading to Nina filing a lawsuit against Dillon.

“When he tweets about anything other than Nina, no one cares, it doesn’t get good engagement,” Jake said.

“Yeah, he makes jokes, but it’s largely in part that he’s exploiting Nina and there are so many hurt males out there that can’t get girls and they’re the ones that are like ‘yeah, f*ck girls, f*ck women, I love what Dillon is doing’ and they know they won’t ever get a hot girl.

“Now they’re finding a way out to unleash their hate through this super hateful, insecure male who is clearly, clearly a very hurt person.”

Now that the personal life of Logan Paul is in the picture, the fight is going to be more intense but if all of this has got to Logan and for some reason he is not able to concentrate, Dillon’s tactics would have done their job.
