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.

This movie is a result of almost 6 months of on and off work, with "on most of the time" when vacations began. About 80% of that time was spent on going through over 550mb's of demos, yet - it was worth it. I couldn't just sit and look as some of these frags go to waste. I tried to keep it as serious as possible, but yeah how serious can it be if it's called 'afterspray' :), anyway I have to say I'm quite happy about the result, I hope you'll enjoy it as much. =)

The list of qualified players will be determined over the next few weeks as Intel Extreme Masters' Group Stage is underway which includes top players from each game including defending champion, United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson for QuakeLive.

New York ComicCon attracted over 77,000 attendees in 2009, easily making it the second largest comic book and pop culture gathering in the country.

MSI BEAT IT rescheduled (32 comments)
Posted by roychez @ 10:03 CDT, 19 August 2010 - iMsg
fnatic3 FnaticMSI has issued an update regarding the MSI BEAT IT Quake Live Grand Finals in Beijing, China.

From America we could see United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson qualify and from Europe we saw Germany Marcel "k1llsen" Paul taking gold. These two champions will be joined by two more players, one each from FnaticMSI And Evil Geniuses. These four players along with more champion gamers were originally supposed to go to Beijing, today we can confirm that the Quake Live championship won't happen in China, instead we will hold it in a few months, tentatively slated for DreamHack Winter in November.

This is a very unfortunate situation for us as being FnaticMSI we've always loved and supported the game through PLAY, our own CTF squad as well, clearly we have shown our solidarity for this amazing First Person Shooter, however this was situation was out of MSI's control as id Software were unavailable to help them set up a LAN tournament in China.

While we can confirm four slots for the Quake Live tournament we will be announcing the final event which we are hoping will have a bigger star studded lineup. There will be eight more slots open for players, but these will be invite only as of now. More details will be launched.

We'd also like to confirm that the prize money won't change and that along with MSI we're showing our full strength to this tournament. Just for a reminder, the total prize money will still be a massive $10,500 in cash prizes in addition to the winner getting himself a hard earned MSI GT660.

QuakeCon 2010 After Action Blog-Complete (57 comments)
Posted by GreasedScotsman @ 09:18 CDT, 19 August 2010 - iMsg
I just returned from QuakeCon 2010, bleary-eyed, exhausted, and happier than I could have imagined. Thirteen QLTV staffers descended on the event just a week ago to begin on-site preparations and setup. Throughout the week, several of them, myself included, wouldn't even get a chance to attend John Carmack's keynote, would miss the many panel presentations and wouldn't even see what vendors were strewn about the same exhibit hall in which we were about to spend the next 4 days because we all would be too busy.

In short, covering QuakeCon 2010 has been a relentless endeavor from start to finish. This literary after action report will detail my experiences as Lead Shoutcaster and unofficial manager of Quake Live TV. QuakeCon is an event built by and for the community, and I feel the community should know and understand how and why things happened the way they did this year.

Lo3 #56 Post-QuakeCon w/ stermy & proZaC (86 comments)
Posted by Slasher @ 22:33 CDT, 17 August 2010 - iMsg
Live On Three is hosted by United States of America Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham, United States of America Rod "Slasher" Breslau and United States of America Scott "SirScoots" Smith.

Live On Three #56 is now online featuring discussing regarding several aspects of this year's QuakeCon including Belarus Cypher and Russia Cooller's epic final, Sweden proZaC's banning, and the multitude of DNS, streaming, and coverage issues at the event. Special guests on the show include first-time top 3 QuakeCon finisher Italy Stermy, the infamous proZaC, and QuakeLive.tv's United States of America Ben "FishStix" Goldhaber.

Stermy's thoughts on Cooller gg'ing him with 3:30 left on Furious Heights:
What can I say? I mean..that's Cooller, ya know? it was probably 10 frags ahead with 3 minuted left, and I knew that the match was pretty much over, but I gusss he wanted to get into my head because I won the first map. I don't get scared of those things anymore. I played during the time when United Kingdom 2GD was playing, and I mean that guy's trash talk is definitely worse than Coollers even, so i have enough experience from that, I don't get annoyed anymore by it. Cooller is like that, gotta take it for what it's worth.

proZaC on getting booted from QuakeCon:
...I'm playing my game which is awesome - I kept it sexy. I thought Canada sparks was a half-newb, and wanted to show the world you can play Quake without pressing +back, just keeping it fucking sexy, and i lost int he last 15 econds because i missed a rocket jump to red armor. If I got that rocket jump I would have won hands down. When I lose to sparks I'm steaming so I go to the pool - I'm out. Go to the pool, get my swim on, get my drink on, when my CTF team comes and says I have to come back and play

Listen to the show now on djWHEAT.blip.tv. QuakeCon talk starts at 5:00, FishStix on at 38:00, Stermy on at 46:00, proZaC on at 60:00.

King of the Server (KotS), in this case the 2007 variant, is a mod that takes regular deathmatch and mixes it up with some RPG elements.
"As you join one of the servers you're prompted to begin a character based on your in-game name. As you start fragging away in a FFA DM setting your character will gain exp points, as well as credits and increase in levels. For each level you grow you gain points that allow you to upgrade weapons and playertrees such as: Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom and Rage."


The character database gets reset tonight so everyone starts at level 0 again and the servers will be crowded!

ESL QL TDM 4v4 Summer Cup (201 comments)

Scheduled: 13:00 CDT, 17 August 2010 to 17:30 CDT, 17 August 2010
Schedule: Passed

Before going back to a new CTF cup after the previous one got canceled, the ESL is running a new TDM 4v4 Summer Cup with the "new" TDM maps. The cup will take place Tuesday 17th at 13:00 CDT and the check-in will start at 12:40 CDT.

Because some of these maps requires a QL Premium account, only players with such accounts will be allowed in the cup. The maplist will be as follows: Deep Inside, Dreadful Place, Leviathan, Purgatory, Realm of Steel Rats.


Update: It was decided to remove Intervention from the map list and add Purgatory. Also one non pro/prem player is allowed in each team.
