Finding the best CSGO gambling sites in 2019 is not that easy. CSGO gambling has had a chequered past to say the least, with many sites being shut down and penalised because of illegal activity.
There is clearly a demand among some Counter-Strike lovers to bet on their favourite game but for the sector to be sustainable long-term, CSGO gambling sites must comply with the laws - primarily for the safety and security of esports fans but also for the sake of themselves.
In the latest dev stream they had some comments about plans for CA and CTF. We've been loud and clear about CTF, so I figured why not have a poll about how we feel about CA :)
This is my first full length movie. I tried to keep the edit clean and flow well some simple effects here and there. Am looking at making another one so post anything that the movie lacks, what the config is like, frags are like, edit, all of it !! Would be extremely helpful for my next one.
Frags are mostly CA but also include some from duel, CTF league matches, CA league matches, CA PCWs and the TDM Draft Cup!

Compared to the last news, I finally received the medals/trophy and for those who missed it, here's the link.
People who are bringing monitors need to bring them by 04:00 CDT, 20 September 2013 at the latest. Also who was at Adroits lan and remember problems with cables, I would like to let them know, that all the DVI cables at cafe place are capable of handling 120Hz monitors, so there shouldn't be any issues with them.

AlexeyA:
"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and I’m a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and that’s what I’m trying to combat. I’m sure I’m not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. I’m sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum that’s admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
<>
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."

The last time Quake Live featured at a major gaming event in South African was at rAge 2010, where international stars from MSI Fnatic, Sebastian Spart1e Siira and Pierre-Emeric l1nkje Portier attended. The event ended on a high, with SA's #1 at the time, Stephen Ph4ntom Cloete played in an exhibition match against Spart1e, which ended in overtime with Spart1e winning 10 - 9.
Since then, its mostly been a barren desert. In 2012, the Xperts@Total.Chaos hosted an online 1v1 tournament along with two other tournaments that year. This led to Quake becoming a featured game for the Do Gaming League in 2013. After two seasons, we're finally seeing the top 8 from the Do Gaming League (DGL) face off against each other at this years final - the Do Gaming Championships!
The 2013 Do Gaming Championships will be held at the Coca Cola Dome at the rAge expo from 4-6 October in a designated VIP area below the exhibition area.
Administration of registered players will be assigned to the team captains, who in order of priority (the order is identified by lot) will be chosen in their teams players of the other registered persons.
Maps are chosen as follows: throws a coin, that the captain, who won cointoss, striking out the first map. Then, the second captain strikes a second map, then choose the first map.
Group stage — bo1, semi finals and final — bo3.
Servers: SWE, DE.
Check-in will be held in the #carnage!! (with "!!") IRC channel.
Draft was not completed cause I have a very serious problem at the time of the draft.
I want to thank for the help Increas, Legless, Divnyz, TolstiyTrol and all guys who participated in this draft. Thanks you. And sorry about that.
- fazz donated his july prize 30 USD to prizepool of 125 FPS August League!
- pulseh 10 GBR (~15USD) "These tournaments have brought much entertainment. Thanks for your hard work guys! pulseh"
- Tymon Kryza z Alior Sync sent 60,00 PLN (~18USD)
- Leszny donated his july league prize 30 USD to august league!
- moogen 1100RUR (~33 USD)
subtotal: ~126.5 USD
- pixie_rail - directly to One Map Cup Series Episode 2, three one map cups - 288USD
- Usually i pay the prizes in the first few days (1-3) after events, as you can see above. Cypher got payed several prizes at once, thats why it was a bit delayed. And one or two players i couldnt cath fast enough and they received their money later. But for today - all august prizes are payed.
- pixie_rail said he sent me 300USD for One Map Cups, really i received only 288 to my paypal. But np, i added a bit, thanks a lot for your 288, pixie_rail! )
- today i was surprised to read from one of the respected players "also, i heard u took donations into your own pocket"... nice, nice ). You can ask me by mail or right here in comments, if you suspect something ). All this months i only spent my time and my money for 125 fps events, be sure guys...

00:37 Is LoL far and away the biggest esports game? Does it have a firm grasp on that spot?
02:14 The impossibilty of predicting the lifespan of games and which the next big game will be.
03:18 Why did Blizzard not monetize Dota itself back in the day?
04:56 The issue of LCS/LoL region-locking and preventing more than one major international tournament per year.
07:48 The increasing amount of offline events for Dota2.
09:20 Since LCS does such great numbers, where does Dota2 fit in in terms of co-existing?
11:40 Was it a mistake to keep Dota2 in beta for so long?
12:59 Does riot think "we know best" in terms of developing esports?
14:42 The issue of pro players/teams outside of LCS in LoL.
19:11 Which of these directions is most likely: a tournament like IEM just switches to another game, to be the big tournament for that game, or they just become a sub-vehicle of riot's LoL plan?
22:51 Why tournaments that had LoL taken from then didn't just pick up Dota2.
26:44 The conspiracy theory of Riot stopping organisers hosting other MOBA/ARTS games if they will be hosting LoL tournaments.
29:04 Doesn't the game developers taking direct control of the esports side, like with Riot's LCS, mean when those games die off that the previously built up esports infrastructure will have withered away?
33:32 The much vaunted "narrative" aspect of leagues like LCS perhaps not being as good as a full circit of events.
41:57 The issue of games becoming esports games purely off viewing figures/playerbase.
49:18 Why Na`Vi and Alliance had never met offline until TI3.
52:05 The lack of Koreans in Dota2, will they be the best if they dedicate themselves?
56:56 The problem of Reborn not having emerged at all yet, after one year of talking about it.
1:05:37 A hypothetical where he has to pick esports players from non-MOBA/ARTS games who he thinks would be good in a MOBA/ARTS game.
