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 :)

The European ESL Quakelive staff is organizing two TDM 4v4 cups before and after DreamHack Summer 2011. The cups will be played on a single day using SE Brackets and bo3 matches, and will feature two divisions. The first one will take place on Wednesday 15th at 13:00 CDT and its sign-ups are already open.
- Check-in: 12:30 CDT - 12:45 CDT
- IRC: #esl.quakelive
- Single Elimination / bo3
- Max. teams per division: 16
- Maplist: Deep Inside(P), Intervention(P), Purgatory(P), Dreadful Place(P), Realm Of Steel Rats(P), Hidden Fortress, Grim Dungeons
- To avoid premium map problems during the cup, we strongly recommend each team to have at least one Pro member so standard players can be invited to the server. If a team has problems due to not having Premium/Pro, they will automatically forfeit the map.
The 2nd cup should be played on Wednesday 22nd June, at the same time.
Update: The Div2 final between e-violence and wreCkamob will be played tonight at 14:30 CDT. Streaming on Level Up TV.
It seems today was a good day to release the schedule for the Quakelive competitions to take place during the DreamHack Summer 2011! Both the Duel and TDM tournaments will be played on Saturday and Sunday. Needless to say the schedule is very tight with so many matches to happen only in 2 days. The TONY FFA Special still is planned for Monday, probably starting in the morning.
Note that the playoff placements will now be randomized. Warm-up starts at 01:00 CDT on Saturday.
Scheduled: 12:00 CDT, 14 June 2011 to 13:00 CDT, 14 June 2011 Schedule: Passed
Update: The Grand Final between 4Kings and Reason Gaming will be played tomorrow at 12:00 CDT.
During the last ASUS Spring, the QL TDM Show match was canceled due to delays. The ROCCAT prizes planned for this match now became the prizes for an online TDM Cup organized by the c58 guys. The Team tournament will take place Monday 13th of June, starting at 07:00 CDT. You will be able to register your team on that day from 06:00 CDT after contacting c58|uaShadow in #asus.ql.
The tournament will use a Double elimination tree, with bo3 matches in WB, bo1 in LB and bo5 for the final. A maximum of 16 teams will be playing. The map list will consist of Deep Inside, Dreadful Place, Grim Dungeons, Hidden fortress, Intervention, Purgatory and Realm of Steel Rats.
Last but not least, the winning team will be rewarded with the prize offered by ROCCAT: Soup (each player of the team will get some!).
Today I present an interview with stermy and winz from the the middle seed team and tournament favorite coman.
As usual I asked about the upcoming DreamHack Tournament and everything TDM related. I got some interesting in depth answers, so without further ado i will just say: read it!
I just wanted to shed a bit of light on the whole seeding for the TDM tournament.
Since TDM on a major LAN hasn't happened in ages you can imagine how tricky this whole thing was for us. It was tough having to rank some of the teams which, even tho on paper had great individual players, had never played together in any TDM tournaments out there.
Not to mention that some of these teams changing line-ups so often didn't help our case either.
These seeds were made before the Jeesports Dremhack TDM tourney because myself and blaze were going to be away for a while before the start of Dreamhack,
and we didnt want to leave any unfinished business. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait, I know, but we're all humans :(
So once again, I'm sorry if any of the seeded teams felt offended, and hopefully there will be another TDM tourney out there that will be able to make good use of the experience gathered during Dreamhack Summer 2011. I really hope this is TDM being ressurrected right here, since it feels like learning to walk again.

The Cyber Sports NetworkEveryone Must Die duel group stages are over, and the final single-elimination bracket begins this Sunday, 19:00 CDT, 5 June 2011! The group stages ended with some surprising results. Sparks took down ZeRo4 to take first place in group A. Sparks is surely happy about this because now he can avoid rapha's half the bracket entirely while ZeRo4 has to play rapha in the quarterfinals. dkt, taken out in the group stage by up up-and-coming duelist ziel, did not advance to the finals. And after a three-way tie in Group B, the matches were replayed, eliminating dark-horse Mongo in favor of Quake 3 legend czm and the ever unpredictable walter. Check out the Brackets, Schedule and don't forget to tune into our TwitchTV for the remaining matches.

Dear quakers, we have the unpleasant duty to inform you about the retirement of one of the European Quake scene personalities, Ondrej "Legie" Konecny.
He began his career as a Quake 3 dueler, gathering a lot of experience that got applied in the local LAN parties in duel and TDM as well. He was a member of clan Nemesis and played ClanBase leagues every year, and also of the Russian CTF clan magic, where he collected flags for couple of years. In 2009 he appeared at the ESWC Masters of Paris, where he played with top 16 players in the world. The invitation was given to him for his activity around the Czech quake scene. In Quakelive he played for clan HTF and managed to win the OpenCup CTF Spring 2010 Div2.
In the past on his own project QuakeQuickCup, he organized and hosted a lot of Quake 3 Nations cups which had extraordinary ratings and helped to revive the Quake 3 TDM scene. The main success of the tournament was great participation from the Euro teams, the GTVs and quick match reports with demos and screenshots. He also organized numerous Q3 duel tournaments, and now he is the head admin of the weekly ZOTAC tournament which you might know for its stable periodicity. Last Sunday we saw the 86th edition.
He said his decision was not easy, but he is currently quite busy with playing the trumpet professionally. His Jazz quintet and ska band fills up all his time and that's the reason why he is forced to cease all his Quake activities. He also added, that he is finishing University and starting September he is going to study Higher Secondary School with a focus on jazz.
Let's wish him all the best and that he has as much fun playing his trumpet, like he had with quake.
The german DerQuaker.com Team asked Serious Gaming superstar Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski about Dreamhack, toxjq's comeback, his life and superpowers. Here is a snippet:
You are in a good shape right now, but who will win the Dreamhack in your opinion?
I will try hard to win of course, but in the last 2 years I lost many events in Quake scene. Nowadays I am trying to catch up because I realized some time ago that I really miss the times of winning tournaments. It`s such a feeling that u will remember till your last days, so my dream is to win some tournaments again. Hard work is waiting for me but I’m looking forward to that.
Definitely check out the full interview or you will miss out on his interesting answer and a pretty epic picture!
