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.

American Quake legend United States of America Paul "czm" Nelson spoke in a video interview at the end of day 1 of the IEM V World Championship about how he felt his group play went.

What is czm's overall assessment of his group play? As someone so famous for being able to make comebacks in a short space of time what has held him back in this era? How does United States of America rapha compare to legendary names like United States of America Fatal1ty, United States of America ZeRo4, United States of America czm and United States of America socrates?

Wonko is back to talk about the upcoming IEM World Championship and the strong possibility of Russia Anton "Cooller" Singov becoming a world champion again, and who he's up against. We haven't seen much from United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson lately; is he still in shape enough to take down the Russian titan again? Last year's IEM World Championships were extremely exciting and this year's lineup should prove to top it. We also talk about the recent increase in TDM play with the TDM Nations Cup, various quick cups and the announcement of TDM at the upcoming DreamHack tournament in June. Who will show up? Will the US have a representing team and could it actually be worth a damn? Also, euro players cheating? Ghastly.

A little closer to home, we're extremely intrigued with John Clark's new involvement with the CSN and their upcoming work, including the tournament that took place while we were recording. Could this be the organization that brings eSports back to the US? We're very excited to see what comes out of this newest venture which has kept their upcoming schedule tightly guarded. Interesting.

The IEM Season V World Finals are taking first step tomorrow morning at 04:30 CDT. Sadly again, nobody on ESReality used the Contribute link to try and write a preview of the competition. But a few writers from the community shared their thoughts about the Group Stage through various websites.

Over at TEK9, Belgium Bcrbo put up another great piece where it's hard to see any top3 emerging and questioning the format of the tournament.

On FNATIC.com, Australia frequency reviewed the two groups and their favorites, without putting too much focus into the team's players.

And finally on ESFI World, United States of America d1ngdong released the 3rd part of his Quakelive preview which is dedicated to Russia Cooller, United States of America rapha and Australia dandaking. The 4th and last part should come shortly!

Update: Better late than never, United Kingdom SwitchbacK posted his preview on SK Gaming during the night!

Interview with Anima Gaming CEO whally (15 comments)
Posted by d1ngdong @ 04:24 CST, 27 February 2011 - iMsg
ESFI World spoke with Anima Gaming's CEO and creative director Josh "whally" Frazier about the new Quake Live league's upcoming Spring Series. In the interview, Josh tells us what we can expect from the new league, which gets underway on March 1st. Now partnered with CSN, the league is poised to give the North American Quake Live scene a much needed boost of energy. He also notes that they do want to eventually expand to Europe.
"I really want to expand to Europe. I know that I can easily provide them with the same amount of opportunities that I have done here in North America. The only thing most people don't realize is that I run AG entirely by myself. I have done this ever since October 2010 at the Quake 3 Masters. In order to expand to Europe, I will need at least a few good organizers and admins to help run things under my supervision."
