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 :)
Tim "DaHanG Fogarty is one of the top favorites in the IEM 4 World Championship. In Hannover fragster asked the EG player about the accusations of strenx and the recent changes in his playstyle.
You managed to win the last Zotac-Cup and beat Cypher in the final, how do you feel about that match?
DaHanG: Everyone knows about the ping and the issues he had and I won't deny that that helps a ton, especially with a ping in the 80s. That's just so hard and I am surprised that he even played. But in the end it is out of my control and if he makes it to the final, I have to play him. I would have liked to play Cooller or someone on equal pings but that's just the way it went down. So I will say that the ping won the match and we will see how it goes down in our group.
On Saturday, the Electronic Sports League will run the next Starcraft 2 Beta Cup. Everybody who owns the beta and is able to play with Europeans is allowed to join. The sign-ups will be open until 13:00 CET, 06 March 2010. You've to confirm your sign up between 13:00 CET and 14:00 CET.
Kevin "strenx" Baeza is a 19 year old student from France. Many Quake fans got their first impressions of strenx in the infamous interview after his match with Anton "Cooller" Singov.
Today he’ll be heading off to Germany to compete in the Intel Extreme Masters World finals at CeBit. But before leaving, he had a lot of things he wanted to get off his chest about a lot of things.
"For me it will be funny. I won’t go through and that’s all. If I go through group I will laugh. We will see, I will just try my best, but I won’t pretend that I will win."
"Americans are more no-life than Europeans. They are putting in more practice hours than the Europeans. OK, they win tournaments but let’s look statistics: if you train A LOT for a year you are not sure to win prize money. If you work hard for 1 year you can earn more than [the equivalent of] 50 1st places in a tournament."
He also talks about Cooller's disrespect for him, why he hates DaHanG and what he thinks about people who make excuses.

Former SK.WoW star, Olivier "Orly" Bellemans, has decided to join up with LowLandLions. The WoW expert has been interested in StarCraft for quite a while already, but his performance in last weekend's StarCraft II Zotac Cup showed the Belgian has quite a lot of promise and potential to become a stronghold in StarCraft II.
He will join Jos "ret" De Kroon in LowLandLions, who now have some of the strongest players in the RTS scene in the Benelux playing under their flag. Olivier Bellemans had the following to say about his addition:
" I'm glad to have found a home at the LowLandLions to represent Belgium, the Netherlands as well as Luxembourg at all events the future has in store for us. It's an honor to be joining the team alongside Ret, a player that has been performing at a top level ever since I started following the StarCraft scene. I hope to be as dedicated as him to the game and keep improving throughout my career.
Even though our countries are small, I feel our presence in the RTS genre is strong and there is not a doubt on my mind the LowLandLions will become a household name in the world of StarCraft."
You can read more about the move by reading the LowLandLions website at the following address: LLL Announcement.
you're becoming more pathetic every moment. So please show me then where I used the term "+back" to describe his gameplay. You won't find a single instance, because I didn't.
In fact, it's you and you alone who's been talking about "+forward" and "+back". Because it's obviously your simplistic mind set which can only think in categories of "either/or". Where the other dude and I had a discussion at a differentiation level apparently incomprehensible to you.
In other words, you're projecting your own primitive categorical thinking into my postings and then whine on me that I didn't understand the game. Now, seriously, how idiotic is that?
The best assumption I can make is that you're carrying over a discussion you had elsewhere and can't really distinguish anymore which is what. Now bundle that together with your attitude, and the result is a person I can't possibly take serious in any way.
