BLAST.tv and Alpine join forces to bring the worlds of CS:GO and motorsport together

Alpine, part of the Renault Group, has announced a new partnership with BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. This partnership is the ultimate crossover between the automotive, motorsports, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) communities.

Alpine will be the Official Automotive and Motorsport partner for the duration of the final stages of the Major, starting on May 8th with the Challengers Stage through to the Champions Stage, taking place at the Accor Arena in Paris on May 18-21st, and will offer fans plenty to experience both inside and outside the arena.
 
Featuring the best 24 teams from across the globe competing for their share of a $1,250,000 USD prize pool, the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 is set to be one of the most highly anticipated events in the esports calendar. This year’s event is expected to draw in over 50k attendees and will be broadcast globally in more than 100+ territories and in 24 different languages.

 
The partnership between Alpine and the BLAST.tv Paris Major 23 embraces their joint ambition of celebrating all forms of competitive spirits. Born competitors, Alpine will use the partnership as a platform to raise the profile of racing within the esports community and connect both audiences with innovative activations at the event.
 
Alpine will be featured during the live stream across the Challengers, Legends, and Champions stages. For the final Champions Stage, Alpine will have a significant presence throughout the arena, with an A110 S on display and Alpine’s state-of-the-art simulator rigs from Trak Racer for attendees to try. CS:GO presenter and the host of the 2023 BAFTA Games Awards, Frankie Ward, will be the ambassador of the partnership and serve as the voice of Alpine at the event.
 
To align itself more closely with CS:GO aficionados, Alpine has partnered with Brock Hofer, the legendary CS:GO artist who has sold more than $3M worth of skins, who will unveil his latest creation at the event.
 
Further strengthening the relationship between the two brands, the BLAST.tv logo will be featured on the A523 during the 2023 Emilia Romagna Formula One Grand Prix. Fans will also be able to choose the gamertags for F1 drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly during the Challengers & Legends phases, which will then proudly be displayed on both A523 during the same Grand Prix.
 
“The crossover between motorsport and CS:GO audiences is huge. While we always look for ways to grow our mainstream audience, it’s also fantastic to work with a community that is so passionate about competitive gaming. We are born competitors and are excited to align with an event that embodies competitive excellence”, said David Gendry, VP of Sponsorship, Partnerships & Communication at Alpine. “A crossover like this hasn’t been trialled in esports before. We are very respectful of the CS:GO community which is why we wanted to engage with attendees in a way that would be natural, leaning on CS:GO icons to help us blend in with the scene.” 
 
Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST said: “The prospect of bringing together the passionate and fast-paced worlds of motorsport and competitive gaming through this partnership is hugely exciting for both brands. BLAST and Alpine share an ambition to bring fans to the very heart of our experiences and we have some exciting plans as part of this cross-collaboration. The BLAST.tv Paris Major is seen as one of esports’ pinnacle events of the year and provides the perfect platform to create unique activations for our audience in-arena and for those tuning in from all around the world in over 100+ territories.”

Pushing Esports Canada to the Next Level

While certainly not one of the largest markets or among the most forthcoming historically, Canada is slowly building towards eSports prominence. Seemingly, the government isn’t looking to change its stance on ruling eSports alongside the likes of hockey and other traditional sports, but gains are being made across the country to promote the new form of digital competition.

Investments from private firms have started to pour in, including the $150 million acquisition of Vancouver’s Phoenix Labs by the massive platform Garena and $34 million via venture capital arrangements. Investment and the industry’s increasing momentum means that more players like earnings leaders Arteezy ($2.5 million), AUi_2000 ($2 million), and Twistzz ($1.5 million) should be joined by fellow million-dollar earners down the line.

With the government mostly leaving the eSports industry to its own devices, it’s coming down to outside efforts to promote and push Canadian eSports to the next level.

Building Esports infrastructure

Easily the largest project in Esports Canada right now is the highly anticipated, almost futuristic arena being built in Toronto. Spearheaded by OverActive Media and Populous, Toronto’s new Esports Performance Venue and Hotel has been in the works for a couple of years now, most recently revising its plans in March 2022 to meet the requirements of the City of Toronto.

These revised plans were given a 5-2 vote to go ahead, with a few suggestions made to change the clarity of access to and around the arena.

Revisions made since the initial application include rearranging the public realm to that of the Stanley Barracks as well as a green roof for the arena to provide sustainability benefits. All of the renders were acquired and detailed by Urban Toronto.

With the plans seemingly finalized, it should take 30 months to build the venue and its attached hotel, with late 2025 penciled in as the window for its grand opening. Its primary eSports tenants will be the Call of Duty and Overwatch League professional franchises under OverActive’s banner.

It’s not only Toronto setting up key facilities for events and team building. Over at St. Clair College, a new esports arena known as Nexus has been opened. It comes loaded with state-of-the-art playing facilities, including a computer lab, consoles, VR areas, and more.

Importantly, the suite loaded with high-end PCs and the likes of the PlayStation 5 is open to everyone – not just St. Clair students – increasing the accessibility of the sport. Edmonton’s city council is also reportedly working on bringing major events to them.

Expanding the eSports experience

As with traditional sports, the contributions of third parties can make a huge difference to the franchises’ incomes and also to the fans’ experience. The most obvious example of this is sports betting. The likes of the NHL, MLB, and NBA have firm betting partners, and just about every sportsbook in the world offers odds and deep markets on each game in those competitions.

This is gradually becoming the case with eSports. Right now, the leading platform for online betting in Canada offers an extensive range of up-to-date match odds. If the matches are taking place this week, you’ll almost certainly find odds for them. If the field is established, you can also get odds on individual player performance markets and outright winners in disciplines from League of Legends to Call of Duty and Valorant.

Another element in this vein is fantasy sports. Devising line-ups of players across a competition to attempt to create a team of the highest-scoring within a budget is a storied part of traditional sports. It just so happens that one of the most exciting eSports in Canada specializes in this exact arena. Fandom Sports runs a blockchain and cloud-based eSports fantasy platform and is developing another NFT-driven platform to accompany the fantasy side.

With more and more eSports competitions being hosted by Canadian arenas, private league runners, and even a national team forming and going off to tournaments in the Commonwealth, it’s clear that eSports is on the rise in Canada.

Valorant Team Forfeits Match Due to Player’s Addiction to Honkai Star Rail

Valorant Team Forfeits Match Due to Player’s Addiction to Honkai Star Rail

A Valorant esports team, Ghost CommandoS, was compelled to forfeit a VCL match in a strange series of events that left the gaming community puzzled. As it turns out, one of their players became so engrossed in playing Honkai Star Rail, a massively successful Gacha game that has taken the world by storm, that he completely forgot about installing the VCT client in time for the match. This resulted in their inability to play and the game was eventually declared a forfeit in favor of their opponents, S2 Esports.

The incident occurred during the Valorant Challengers League Taiwan/Hong Kong on May 2, and while some members of the community were understanding of the player’s obsession with Honkai, others expressed concern over why the VCT client needed to be installed again during the middle of the regular season.

Apparently, the reason behind this was due to the league using three different clients, with each client being swapped between weekly. This week’s client update was required to include Bind and a new skin set, making it nearly identical to the latest release. The update was the size of a normal client, but unfortunately, the distracted player failed to complete the installation on time.

The community reaction to this event has been mixed, with some expressing sympathy and others expressing bewilderment. Fans jokingly remarked that “3D waifus take over,” while others expressed concern over the impact that video game addiction can have on professional esports players.

Despite the disappointment felt by Ghost CommandoS, who finished eighth in this Challengers League season, the incident serves as a reminder to all teams to ensure that their players are fully focused and prepared for their matches and to avoid distractions that may compromise their performance.

Overall, this bizarre incident highlights the potential pitfalls of video game addiction and the importance of staying focused in the competitive gaming world.

Amouranth banned from Twitch

Amouranth banned from Twitch

Amouranth, the Twitch superstar with a whopping 6.3 million followers, was hit with a surprise suspension on May 4, 2023, marking her first ban since 2021. The reason for the ban remains a mystery, but fans were left in shock as her channel became unavailable with Twitch’s standard ban message displayed.

Rumors have been swirling that Amouranth’s recent feud with fellow streamer Adriana Chechik could be the cause of the suspension. On her own stream, Adriana had voiced her opinion on Amouranth’s personality, leading Amouranth to challenge her to a boxing match. While it’s unclear whether this squabble had anything to do with the suspension, Twitch’s rules state that threats or attempts to physically harm others, whether on or off the platform, are strictly forbidden and can result in suspension.

Amouranth’s First Ban in 2 Years Leaves Twitch Community in Shock

As of now, Amouranth has remained silent on the ban, leaving fans guessing as to what led to her suspension. Twitch has a reputation for handing out severe punishments for certain offenses, and some behaviors could result in an indefinite ban on the first offense. We will be keeping an eye on the situation and updating our readers as soon as more information becomes available.

This unexpected turn of events has left Amouranth’s fans in a state of shock. They have been following her streams and content on Twitch for years, and her suspension has left a void. However, Twitch’s community guidelines and terms of service are in place to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all users, and any violations, regardless of intent, will be met with appropriate consequences.

We are hoping that Amouranth and Twitch can work out their differences soon so that she can return to her adoring fans on the platform. In the meantime, we will be keeping our readers up-to-date on this developing story.

11 Most Expensive Skins in CSGO

11 Most Expensive Skins in CSGO

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that CS:GO has such a large number of fans. It is one of the earliest first-person shooter (FPS) esports games that people liked playing and supported financially.

When it comes to Skins in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, they are just an inseparable part of the game’s culture since the Arms Deal update in 2013. However, for some, skins are a business. One with a lot of money in it. If you’re familiar with CSGO skins, you probably know how big an impact they have on the FPS title by Valve. 

In fact, it is the introduction of skins that stopped the steadily declining player count of CSGO at a point in the past and turned it around. Opening cases are perhaps the quickest and easiest ways to get yourself some nice CSGO skins. 

Today, it is a behemoth in the gaming and esports market with other games such as Dota 2 and League of Legends. Over 2.74 million peak viewers tuned in to watch the most recent PGL Major CS:GO event, which shattered all previous records for the game.

Skins in CS:GO functions as their own economy. The supply and demand of the market, in addition to other considerations, are two of the primary contributors to the fluctuating value and worth. Come along with us as we take a look at the 12 CS:GO skins that cost the most money.

M4A4 HOWL

csgo skin howl

We can’t discuss the AK-47 without mentioning its counterterrorism version. New M4A4 Howls cost $8500. It’s one of the priciest M4A4 skins, notably the StatTrak FN variant, which costs over $15,900.

The M4A4 Howl skin is one of my favorites. It’s painted with a red and black growling wolf picture. It was first made available in 2014 as a part of the Huntsman Collection.

KARAMBIT CASE-HARDENED BLUE GEM

A factory-new, case-hardened Karambit can cost over $120,000. Each Case-Hardened Karambit has a unique pattern. Factory-new designs can retail for $3300-$4600 or more for StatTrakTM variants.

It has a wear value of 0.0480 and a pattern template of 387. The “Blue Gem” knife is blue on one side.

SOUVENIR AWP DRAGON LORE

One of the most widely used firearms in CS:GO is the AWP, also known as the Magnum Sniper Rifle. Because of this, the skins on this item sell for absolutely ridiculous amounts of money. The AWP is a legendary weapon that allowed us to pull off a plethora of incredible and seemingly impossible plays. It is entirely appropriate that an AWP skin will be among the most costly skins available within the game.

BUTTERFLY KNIFE LORE

Factory-new Butterfly Knife Lore skin costs $7550 StatTrak costs $7400. It’s challenging to get StatTrak™ kills with knives anyway, so it isn’t that vital to have a StatTrak™ version.

Butterfly Knife Lore was released on September 21, 2021, as part of Dreams & Nightmares. It has a twisted golden blade. The primary hue is army green, and there are some yellow undertones and accents throughout.

SOUVENIR M4A1-S WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

The following skin on the list is one of the most recent additions to the collection. It is certainly shocking to see some of the new skins because, in most cases, the older and rarer skins have higher pricing. This makes seeing some of the new skins rather surprising. Despite this, the M4A1-S Welcome to the Jungle is considered to be one of the “cheaper” options on the list.

In Factory New condition, the Welcome to the Jungle skin for the M4A1-S may be purchased for approximately $1,800 USD. The Souvenir variation, on the other hand, in Factory New condition roughly triples the value of the original, with listings beginning at around $4,900.

AK-47 CASE HARDENED (661 PATTERN)

The next item on our list is a Case Hardened skin that we have available. We are already aware of the value that may be obtained by utilizing a particular Case Hardened design. #661, or the “scar pattern,” is the AK-47 Case Hardened pattern to search for.

With this particular pattern, the top of the gun will appear to be completely clear and will be a vibrant shade of blue. In addition to that, it has a golden “scar” adjacent to the rear sight, which is where the name “scar pattern” comes from. It’s the most desirable pattern for an AK-47 Case Hardened skin, and you can acquire it here. The AK-47 Case Hardened is part of the Arms Deal Collection and found in the CS:GO Weapon Case.

AWP GUNGNIR

AWP GUNGNIR

The AWP Gungnir’s blue and ivory body features Odin’s spear. It has Norse markings and texts, making it a weapon worthy of the Allfather. The Norse Collection’s AWP Gungnir was released on November 18.

M9 BAYONET CRIMSON WEB

The M9 Bayonet Crimson Web skin is the next skin in our lineup. Another knife is known as the M9 Bayonet. It is designed to be attached to a rifle, but it is also quite effective in combat situations that take place in close quarters. The Crimson Web M9 Bayonet gives the knife a crimson base coat with a spider-web pattern and a semi-gloss topcoat. The pattern is on the blade of the weapon.

The price of a brand-new M9 Bayonet Crimson Web knife from the factory is approximately $8,900. On the other hand, there are some ads that have prices ranging from $6,000 all the way up to $9,500 in some cases. The StatTrakTM version of the knife has a price range of $8,400 to $15,000 depending on the model.

TALON KNIFE CRIMSON WEB

Following that, the next item on our agenda is a different skin for the Crimson Web. I’m sure that these Crimson Web skins fetch a high price on the market; I just wish that I had one of them in stock. The price of the Crimson Web skin for the Talon Knife is quite close to that of the Crimson Web skin for the M9 Bayonet, which is approximately $11,500.

The price of a brand-new, factory-sealed Crimson Web Talon knife is a more “fair” $2,600. The value of a StatTrak version in the same condition, however, nearly multiplies itself to x6 and is currently estimated to be over $11,500.

AK-47 FIRE SERPENT

The final item on our list has a price tag that is still greater than $6,000. It’s a significant amount of money that, for the vast majority of individuals, is just out of their price range. While there are some families that can get by on $5,000 in a single month, there is someone else who just lets it sit in his inventory.

The AK-47 Fire Serpent can be purchased in several CS:GO skins marketplaces for a price that ranges between $2,200 and $4,120 in Factory New condition. 

It was included in the update for Operation Bravo that was made available on September 19, 2013. The CS:GO weapon skin known as the AK-47 Fire Serpent is a component of the Bravo Collection and can be acquired from the Operation Bravo case. The AK-47 Fire Serpent skin is used by a number of well-known professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players, including FalleN and coldzera.

BUTTERFLY KNIFE CRIMSON WEB

The preceding three skins have all had six digits or more in their total. Finally, we’ve decided to dial it back a little bit and go with a skin that’s still insane but costs $45,000 less. It will cost you approximately $8,000 to purchase the Butterfly Knife Crimson Web in Factory New condition. You can receive up to $42,000 for a single StatTrak skin in Factory New condition.

Butterfly Knife Crimson Web was introduced to CS:GO on July 1, 2014. This skin is not included in any collection, and the only way to acquire it is to crack open an Operation Breakout Weapon container.

OG won the pistol round, and MLT had no option but to force them to buy the next round, which turned in their favor and got them round 14. But OG managed to get a thrifty win in Round 15, finishing the map at 13-2.

Lightsabers in Fortnite: Where To Find & How To Use It?

Lightsabers in Fortnite: Where To Find & How To Use It?

The Find the Force event in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 brings back Lightsabers, which are required to complete certain Star Wars 2023 Find the Force challenges. As such, players must search for and wield Lightsabers to successfully accomplish these tasks.

In this article, you will get to know everything about Lightsabers in Fortnite including where to find and how to use it.

Where To Find Lightsabers in Fortnite?

Acquiring a Lightsaber in Fortnite currently involves locating a Star Wars character (Obi-Wan, Anakin, or Darth Maul) on the game map and engaging in conversation with them. This will transport you through a Rift Gate and reward you with a Lightsaber, along with impressive Force capabilities to experiment with. Alternatively, you can obtain a Lightsaber by defeating an opponent who already possesses one and claiming it as your own.

How To Use Lightsabers in Fortnite?

In Fortnite, Lightsabers function as a close-quarters melee weapon, requiring players to approach their targets and utilize the following keys:

  • To attack, press the shoot button.
  • To block, press the aim button.

The Lightsaber has the capability to deflect both ranged and close combat attacks, making it a valuable tool for defense. When facing gunfire from medium to long range, blocking with the Lightsaber can effectively parry the attack. However, it’s important to exercise caution when blocking at close range, as weapons like shotguns can bypass the Lightsaber’s defense.

In addition to its defensive capabilities, acquiring a Lightsaber from Obi-Wan, Anakin, or Darth Maul also grants access to various Force abilities. With the Lightsaber equipped, performing a double tap on the jump button enables a higher Force Jump. While blocking with the Lightsaber, pressing the jump button allows for evasion, while pressing the shoot button enables the use of Force abilities such as Throw, Pull, or Push.
