Map 2: Ancient (Pick: Kingpins, Winner: OnlyFriends, Final Score: 16:13)

OnlyFriends kicked Ancient off by winning the pistol round on the CT-side, but a force buy from Kingpins on the following round was enough to equalize the score. The next two rounds were easy grabs for Kingpins before OnlyFriends put up their second round on the board. A series of flawless executes from Kingpins gave them a considerable lead in the first half of Ancient, which they ended with a score of 9-6 in their favor.

The second was a completely different story, OnlyFriends won the pistol round and proceeded to convert the following two rounds with ease to tie the score 9-9. Kingpins regained the lead once again by winning two consecutive rounds but an astonishing ace clutch from ‘Crazy_Gamer’ on the 21st round stopped them in their tracks. Kingpins only managed to win a couple of more rounds before the end of map 2 as OnlyFriends closed the game 16:13.

The first half concluded with a score of 10-5 in favor of Kingpins.

Kingpins were able to win the pistol round on the CT-side as well, but a force buy from OnlyFriends on the next round enabled the latter to take the B bombsite and hold it long enough for the C4 to explode. Kingpins decided to follow suit and force-bought during the following round, which ultimately paid off as they snatched the round from OnlyFriends. Another force buy came from OnlyFriends in the 19th round, which they won once again before capitalizing on their advantage and getting five consecutive rounds to bring their score up to 11-12. ‘ElVIS’ had to win an intense 1v1 against ‘Crazy_Gamer’ on the following round to bring back his team’s momentum in the game. However, it wasn’t enough to stop OnlyFriends, who proceeded to close the game 16-14 in their favor.

‘F1redup’ took the top spot in the game 3 leaderboard with 26 kills and 20 deaths and an ADR of 99.5.

Team IKARI send RDX packing out of AA Gaming’s Rush B tournament

Logan’s IKARI were able to come back despite being 10-15 down in the decider map as they picked up the series 2-1 in the overtime. 

Team IKARI vs RDX Rush B CSGO Tournament Recap

  • RDX Vs IKARI
  • Match Type: Best of 3, Played on LAN

Map Veto

  • RDX ban Vertigo
  • IKARI ban Overpass
  • RDX pick Ancient
  • IKARI pick Anubis
  • RDX ban Inferno
  • IKARI ban Nuke
  • Mirage was left over

Map 1: Ancient (Pick: RDX, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 16:13)

IKARI started off Ancient on the right foot as they settled into Game 1 with a comfortable 5-0 lead over RDX before MaChOleleR opened up the B-site for business and won the first one for RDX. A couple of rounds were seen to be traded back and forth as RDX showed resilience after coming back from 0-5 to end the first half 8-7 in their favor. Every player of RDX indeed had their own fair share in tipping the scales as Logan, ZEROkNg98, and L0sttt_ rose to prominence during the latter stages. 

Coming from the break, Team IKARI were able to get off the pistol round after Langoti clutched it with a brilliant 2K post plant. IKARI and RDX traded off rounds back and forth with RDX taking the lead on their defense, 13-12 as the scoreline suggested. But it took IKARI’s _SamX_ just one clutch to cripple the reinforcements set up by the CTs which not only won them the 27th round but helped them win Ancient 16-13 as RDX seemed destitute and listless post _SamX_’s 1v4 post-plant clutch. 

Map 2: Anubis (Pick: IKARI, Winner: RDX, Final Score: 16:13 )

No team really took off on Anubis with RDX trying to dominate over their opponents after winning straight 4 rounds but failed as IKARI managed to play the trade game which saw both the sides settle out on a 7-8 scoreline in the first half. WolFy alongside Pee3eky of IKARI were able to secure the pistol round after picking out RDX from the A-site. 

Pee3eky who sniped 3 enemies from breaking in onto the B bombsite extended the lead further for IKARI, promising them a commanding position with 12 rounds on the board and not conceding a single round across the second half. RDX answered back with ZEROkNg98 picking up a quadra-kill in the 22nd round to help his team square out the deficit. RDX were successfully able to charter their comeback on Anubis as they started to pull out tricks off their hats in annihilating the reinforcements set up by the CTs. 

Map 3: Mirage (Mirage was left over in Veto, Winner: IKARI, Final Score: 19-16 )

IKARI comfortably got off to a 4-1 lead with _SamX_ and and Langoti locking out the Ts from the bombsites. The most beautiful part about Mirage is how the Terrorists can plan out their utilities, which indeed helped both sides to trade rounds back and forth after 2 gruesome games on Ancient and Anubis. Aggressive plays from RDX helped them get early picks on Logan and company although their proceedings were never hurt by the same as they managed to get the first half to their names, thanks to TORREZ who picked up a 3K on B before sticking the bomb down for some extra cash. 

RDX claimed yet another pistol round on their defense which allowed them to rack up a lump sum amount of rounds till match point which was marred by the duo of _SamX_ and olegaming who left no stone unturned in forcing overtime upon RDX. Despite some serious efforts put in by RDX, it was IKARI who triumphed as they picked up the series against the former, 2-1.

Map 1: Overpass (Pick: RDX, Winner: Slow Aimers, Final Score: 28:25)

Despite winning the pistol round on the CT side of Overpass, Slow Aimers couldn’t convert the follow-up rounds as a force buy from RDX on the second round caught them off-guard. It wasn’t until the fifth round that Slow Aimers were able to put up their second point on the board. From there, the teams traded rounds back and forth till the half ended 8-7 in favor of Slow Aimers.

RDX looked much more comfortable on the CT side as they converted the pistol round with four players still standing. However, a force buy from Slow Aimers in the following round was enough to steal the momentum away from RDX as the score tied 8-8. Slow Aimers took the lead by winning the next three rounds without much hassle, but a win from RDX on the 20th round forced them into an eco. RDX tied up the score 11-11 before an impressive A-Site hold by ‘Logan’ gave them the lead in the 23rd round. RDX could extend their lead up to 13-11 before Slow Aimers regained their momentum with a knife kill by ‘MaYuReSh’. They could secure no more than 15 rounds before RDX retaliated and forced overtime on the first map.

RDX maintained their momentum in the overtime and extended their lead to 17-15, but a jaw-dropping 1v4 clutch from ‘MaYuReSh’ with an AWP stopped the team from getting to match point. Slow Aimers then proceeded to convert three out of the remaining four rounds to take the match into another overtime. The second overtime saw some great individual performances from the AWPers as the teams traded rounds back and forth to force a third overtime, which extended further into a fourth overtime as no team was willing to give up. The fifth overtime saw Slow Aimers finally take control as they closed out the game 28-25, marking it as the longest game in the tournament so far.

At the end of the game, Slow Aimers’ ‘SMOKE’ was sitting on the top of the leaderboard at a whopping 47 kills, while RDX’s ‘Logan’ trailed shortly behind at 46 kills.

RDX kicked off Ancient with a win on the first pistol round on the CT side of the map, but force-buys prevailed once again as Slow Aimers stole the second round from them. RDX could convert the following two rounds but Slow Aimers swiftly equalized 3-3 following an insane 1v4 clutch from ‘5M0KE’ with an AK-47. The momentum from Slow Aimers continued till they put up eight rounds on the board, but RDX weren’t giving up so easily as they closed the half 7-8.

Slow Aimers had a great start to the CT side on Ancient, winning the first three rounds before RDX could put up a round win on their T-side. However, a series of well-executed plays from RDX quickly turned the tide in their favor, and not before long they were standing at match points while their rivals only had 12 rounds on the board. Slow Aimers then proceeded to take the last three rounds of the half to force overtime once again.

RDX found themselves having a head start in overtime as they secured the first three rounds without any hassle to make the score 18-15. While Slow Aimers put up a fight in the second half, it wasn’t enough to stop RDX from winning game 2 with a score of 19-17 in their favor.

Map 3: Inferno (Winner: RDX, Final Score: 16:9)

Inferno started with RDX decking up a quick 3-0 lead before Slow Aimers bounced back into the game with commanding 3 rounds thanks to the duo of 5m0ke and MaYuReSh xD who defied the Ts from breaking in their reinforcements. RDX quite put up a show with a straight 8-round win, annihilating every bombsite they broke into. The first half went in the favor of RDX with a scoreline of 11-4 before MaChOleleR and company tried to claw into the game by nearing out the score of 8-11. 

But with no fuel in the tank, especially from the gruesome Overpass and Ancient picks, it was Slow Aimers who bled out in the hands of RDX who secured a comfortable series win, 2-1.

Forsen Banned for Watching “Dubious” AI VTuber Content

0

Twitch is a popular platform for streamers around the world to connect with their fans and share their content. However, the platform has strict guidelines and policies that must be adhered to, and any violation of these guidelines can result in disciplinary action or even a ban from the platform. Recently, a popular Twitch streamer named Forsen revealed that his Twitch ban was for watching “dubious” AI VTuber content.

Forsen is a popular Swedish streamer who has been active on Twitch for many years. He is known for his engaging personality and entertaining streams, which have earned him a large following of loyal fans. However, in late 2020, Forsen was banned from the platform for an undisclosed reason.

It was only recently that Forsen revealed the reason for his ban. He stated that his ban was due to his watching of “dubious” AI VTuber content, which had violated Twitch’s terms of service. While Forsen did not go into detail about the content he had been watching, it is clear that it had been deemed inappropriate by Twitch.

“I’m banned cause of the dubious ASMR youtube video for 1 week. Unlucky,” said Forsen.

Forsen’s ban highlights the importance of adhering to Twitch’s guidelines and policies. The platform has strict rules in place to ensure that all content is appropriate and safe for viewers, and any violation of these rules can result in disciplinary action. While it can be tempting to push the boundaries of what is acceptable on the platform, it is important for streamers to remember that they are responsible for the content they produce and share with their fans.

The incident also highlights the role of AI in the world of streaming. AI VTubers are becoming increasingly popular, with many content creators using them as a way to engage with their fans and create entertaining content.

0

On the popular live streaming platform Twitch, content creators must adhere to strict guidelines and terms of service in order to maintain a safe and appropriate environment for viewers. These guidelines are in place to ensure that all users can enjoy the platform without being subjected to offensive or inappropriate content.

Recently, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was banned from the platform for showing “simulated sexual activity” in GTA Role Play on his stream. This violation of Twitch’s terms of service resulted in Cenat being banned from the platform. However, just a week later, Cenat was unbanned and allowed to resume streaming on the platform.

It’s unclear what took place between Kai Cenat and Twitch that got him unbanned, as the platform has strict guidelines and policies that are designed to keep users safe and content-appropriate. However, it’s likely that Cenat worked with Twitch staff to address the issue and come up with a plan to ensure that his content was appropriate moving forward.

This incident serves as a reminder that content creators must be aware of Twitch’s guidelines and terms of service in order to maintain a safe and appropriate environment for viewers. While mistakes can happen, it’s important for streamers to take responsibility for their actions and work to ensure that their content is appropriate for all viewers.

Twitch as a platform has made it its mission to create a safe and appropriate environment for all users. While mistakes can happen, it’s important for content creators like Kai Cenat to be aware of Twitch’s guidelines and take responsibility for their actions. By doing so, they can help to maintain a positive and welcoming community on the platform.
