Most of us gamers have a wide array of games we have acquired over the years housed in our Steam library which will be something we leave behind for our loved ones to inherit but Valve says we cannot do that.
Have you ever wondered what becomes of your Steam account after your death? While traditional wealth gets passed down to our following generation, video games might not follow the same path.
One Steam user raised a burning question of whether they can transfer their Steam account’s assets if written in their will.
According to Steam support, the non-transferability of Steam accounts is applicable even in the event of your demise. What that implies is that even if you make a will naming someone to inherit your Steam account and its contents, it cannot be transferred.
One way around this is to leave your Steam ID and password in your will to allow the benefactor to access your account and play games from your collection. However, you must leave your devices behind as well to get through the 2FA given disabling it is inadvisable.
IEM Dallas is in full swing and it’s not without its nuances as a misconfiguration during the match has got several teams playing on an older economic system on day 1.
On the first day of IEM Dallas, the latest economic upgrade was not followed in more games than one given teams were frequently awarded $800 bonuses instead of the $600 that was specified for the game.
Terrorists who planted the device in a round that concluded with a CT-defusal would have previously received a bonus of $800. The $800 bonus was dropped to $600 in the update but that wasn’t the case in some of the matches at IEM Dallas.
-Reduced the terrorist team award when bomb was planted but defused from $800 to $600, to decrease the impact of the first-round on subsequent rounds
I'm confused, do i understand the patch notes wrong, or aren't we supposed to receive 2500 instead of 2700 @CounterStrike…
As things stand ESL is aware of this issue but since the matches have already concluded, little can be done about it. On paper this might not seem like a massive issue, matches on the biggest stages are decided by fine margins.

🌟 Announcing PGL DOTA 2 Wallachia Season #2: Battle for Supremacy in Bucharest 🇷🇴
📅 Event: October 1-13, 2024 🗓️ Qualifiers: August 9-17, 2024 💰 Prize Pool: $1,000,000 💯 Participating Teams: 16
Ten elite Dota 2 teams will receive direct invitations to PGL Wallachia Season 2, while six teams will have to compete through open and closed qualifiers to secure their spots. The qualifiers for the upcoming tournament are scheduled to take place from August 9-17, 2024.
The main event, taking place from October 1-13, 2024, will kick off with a 16-team Swiss format Group Stage. The top eight teams from this stage will advance to the Playoffs, which will follow a double-elimination bracket. All Playoff matches will be best-of-three (BO3), with the Grand Finals of the event culminating in an exciting best-of-five (BO5) showdown.

The battle for the ‘best counter-terrorist rifle’ has been very intense ever since the introduction of M4A1-S and M4A4 rifles in the Counter-Strike franchise. Both rifles have different characteristics and are suited to different playstyles. Let’s check out the statistics of these rifles:
M4A4
Screenshot from csgoskins.gg
ARMOR PENETRATION – 70%
RATE OF FIRE – 666 rounds per minute
ACCURATE RANGE (METERS) – 28 m
RELOAD TIME – 3.1 seconds
MAGAZINE CAPACITY – 30
RESERVE AMMO LIMIT – 90
RUNNING SPEED (HAMMER UNITS PER SECOND) – 225
KILL AWARD – $300
PENETRATION POWER – 200
RANGE MODIFIER – 0.97
M4A1-S
Screenshot from csgoskins.gg
ARMOR PENETRATION – 70%
RATE OF FIRE – 600 rounds per minute
ACCURATE RANGE (METERS) – 28 m
RELOAD TIME – 3.1 seconds
MAGAZINE CAPACITY – 20
RESERVE AMMO LIMIT – 80
RUNNING SPEED (HAMMER UNITS PER SECOND) – 225
KILL AWARD – $300 (Competitive) $150 (Casual)
PENETRATION POWER – 200
RANGE MODIFIER – 0.94
Having looked at the statistics of M4A4 and M4A1-S, let’s see how that feels in combat. While most of the statistics are not different between these rifles, the stats that do differ set these rifles worlds apart. As mentioned earlier, these rifles are suited to different playstyles. As the stats suggest, both these rifles cannot kill an opponent, so you will have to employ different tactics while in combat.
M4A4 has a better rate of fire and a bigger magazine when compared to M4A1-S. This makes it a better weapon for close-quarter battle thanks to its better fire rate. All this comes at the cost of stability requiring much better aiming skills and spray control. This makes the rifle much more suitable for a player with a fast and aggressive playstyle.
M4A1-S being the silenced weapon, makes it difficult for your opponents to identify the direction the bullets are coming from. Another advantage of the silencer is the stability it gives to the rifle. As a result, you have much less recoil to compensate for. However, the magazine size may become a disadvantage due to its capacity. With only a maximum of 20 bullets in your magazine, you may find yourself in trouble if you miss some of your shots. This makes this weapon better suited to players who like to take it slow while holding angles.
With that being said, M4A4 and M4A1-S showcase how lethal these weapons can be when in the right hands. Coming back to the million-dollar question ‘Which is the best Counter Terrorist rifle’? While a bigger portion of the Counter Strike community opts for M4A1-S due to its stability, it all boils down to personal preference.

If purple is your favorite color and you are on the hunt for some good-looking purple-colored weapons in Counter Strike 2, then you have come to the right place. Here is a list of weapons with purple skins in Counter-Strike 2.
Butterfly Knife Freehand

As we all know, obtaining a Butterfly Knife in Counter Strike 2 is easier said than done. With most Butterfly skins costing an arm and a leg, there is one skin that stands out the most. While this skin is not a cheap one, it does make you feel like it’s ‘worth it.’
The skin in question here is Butterfly Knife Freehand. Featuring a beautiful combination of black, purple, and white, this skin showcases graffiti-like white color patterns with a purple background on the blade.
This skin was first introduced to the game in its ‘Counter Strike Global Offensive’ phase and was later carried over to Counter-Strike 2. Ever since its release, this skin has been one of the most desired Butterfly Knife skins.
Five-SeveN Hybrid

The Five-SeveN’s high-capacity magazine and excellent accuracy have attracted many players to go for this weapon in the pistol round. Combine these capabilities with the Five-SeveN Hybrid skin and you have a beautiful but lethal pistol at your disposal.
The Five-SeveN Hybrid skin features a combination of purple and gray with a carbon fiber finish on the rear portion of the grip. The design features claw-mark-like aesthetics and feels very appealing.
This is another skin that was added as a part of the Kilowatt Case Container on February 6th, 2024. Being a relatively new skin and it’s low cost, the skin has been very successful in attracting most players who love to use Five-SeveN.
M4A1-S Black Lotus

M4A1-S Black Lotus is considered to be one the best-looking M4A1-S in Counter-Strike 2. This skin is well known for its sophisticated design consisting of shades of black and purple, featuring a lotus just above the trigger.
With M4A1-S being one the most cherished weapons in Counter Strike 2, this skin just adds to the beauty of the weapon. Most players love the accuracy and silenced shots the M4A1-S showcases. Be it a competitive player or someone who is trying to build a collection of weapons, this design is poised to attract all kinds of players.
Added to Counter Strike 2 on February 6th, 2024 as a part of the Kilowatt Case Container, the skin quickly gained demand for its visual appeal combined with M4A1-S’ capabilities. The M4A1-S Black Lotus is now considered to be a must-have weapon for any Counter-Strike 2 player.
AWP Chromatic Aberration

If you are a fan of 1 shot 1 kill, then the AWP has to be your choice of weapon. Combined with its lethal firepower, AWP has one of the best skins out of all weapons made for it in the game. One such skin is AWP Chromatic Aberration.
This skin features a vibrant purple zebra pattern on its scope and main body. The barrel, magazine, trigger, and stock showcase hints of the same pattern but black. This combination has made this skin one of the best looking in the game and can be obtained at a reasonable price when compared to other AWP skins.
This skin was added on July 1st, 2022 as a part of the Recoil Case Container when the game was in its Counter Strike Global Offensive phase and was later carried over to Counter Strike 2.
Driver Gloves Imperial Plaid
Screenshot from csgoskins.gg
This skin features a plaid pattern with vibrant shades of purple combined with red, blue, and white stripes, while the fingers are covered with purple leather. This combination gives the gloves an appealing look and makes them stand out.
Like most of the gloves in Counter Strike 2, these gloves can be very expensive for a Factory New version. While the minimal wear version is not that reasonably priced, it is nowhere close to what a Factory New Version would cost.
Glock-18 Moonrise

Glock-18 is a pistol that has solidified its legacy in the Counter Strike franchise. Being the default gun you get in the game as a terrorist, the Glock-18 is well known for its semi-automatic and burst modes. Now combine this with the visually stunning Glock-18 Moonrise skin.
This skin predominantly features on the slide part of the Glock-18. It showcases a full moon rising behind a view of the city skyline while implementing the purple color in the background.
The Glock-18 Moonrise was introduced on February 15th, 2018 when the game was still in its Counter Strike Global Offensive phase and was later carried over to Counter Strike 2.

With Valorant Champions Tour Pacific Stage 2 just around the corner, DRX has decided to bench their IGL Kim “stax” Gu-taek, as confirmed by the organization on Monday, May 27.
“After a careful & lengthy consideration, DRX has made the difficult decision to place stax from the starting roster to the bench status effective immediately,” the South Korean org said in a statement. “Stax will remain a part of DRX as we head into Stage 2, but is granted permission to seek new opportunities as a restricted free agent.”
The announcement comes after a disappointing run for DRX in the ongoing VCT season. The team was eliminated in the semifinals of the VCT Pacific Kickoff earlier this year, and finished in fourth place at the VCT Pacific Stage 1 this month, losing to Gen.G in both events. As a result, DRX failed to qualify for the international events this year in Madrid and Shanghai.
At the time of writing, it’s still unclear who will fill the void left by stax’s departure from DRX’s active roster.
Fans can catch the new DRX roster in action during their next appearance at VCT Pacific Stage 2, where they will face ZETA DIVISION on June 15, 2024.
With DRX getting benched, the active roster of the organization includes the following players:
