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 :)

That's right, it's on ladies! The next exhibition match in the PG Pro series is set to roll and by popular demand, we've officially pulled Python off his beach in the Bahamas to return to the dueling arena to take on zlr! Brought to you by Premium Gamer and netGameTV, this match will be a spectacle not to be missed!
To the victor belong the spoils! Thanks to netGameRadio, a crisp $50 will go to top spot with the loser taking home a slightly wrinkled $25. It may not be enough to keep either player off that beach in the Bahamas, but it should be enough to buy bandages, a splint and maybe some aloe cream to tend to the burns.
Foosh Australia are also supporting this event and have agreed to supply the winner with 10 packs of Foosh Energy Mints. That's right, we're giving away MINTS! They keep you up, they keep you focused and they keep you harder for longer.
Thanks also goes to Python himself for lining up our first ever Quake Live cast viewer prizes! 10x 1-Month ESL Premium accounts will be given away on the video stream during the match in anticipation of upcoming Intel Extreme Masters events (Aus/NZ viewers only). Kudos Chacha. :D
Catch the whole adulterated event covered back-to-back by netGameRadio's Devastator & Nomey on the LIVE & now unlimited capacity video stream at netGameTV.

One of the very few European gamers to have been invited over to South-Korea, Jos "ret" De Kroon, has recently returned from his unique experience with the eSTRO team to join up with the premier Benelux gaming organisation, LowLandLions.
He will be the very first StarCraft player for LowLandLions and with such results as winning the DreamHack Summer 2009 event as well as coming second, only losing to IdrA who is living in South-Korea as we speak, in the ESL Intel Major Series, he is definitely one of the most promising StarCraft players from Europe.
The man himself had the following to say about his move:
" I joined LLL because I think they are a team with a bright future and a lot of potential. I also really like the fact they are based in the benelux, and are able to support me locally. I look forward to working together with Low Land Lions to attend lots of SC2 events in the future and produce SC2 content for the fans of the game."

Community favorite Cyrus "proZaC" Malekani, also known as "the p1mp", celebrates his return to the Quake scene. As one of Sweden´s former TDM stars he will go to enter the IEM Asian Championship in Taiwan and will fight for one of the two slots to qualify for the Global Finals in March. fragster invited proZaC to an interview to speak about the upcoming event, his shape and why god is on his side. Here's a snippet:
It's been a while since you have been part of a Quake event. What happened during the last years?
proZaC: Woah, so many things ... I studied game development and got hired by Avalanche Studios to work on Just Cause 2. Then the financial crisis happened and that put a serious monkey wrench in the wheels of the game development industry (in Sweden anyway) and I became a kindergarten teacher instead, which was the best job I've ever had. After this the timing and opportunity was perfect to go to study in Japan. So here I am!
What are your plans then? A comeback in the eSport/Quake scene maybe?
proZaC: I don't know for sure yet, but I have a lot of fun playing quake again and watching all the good matches in the recent tournaments just makes me pumped - so maybe yes?
Alright, my contribution for the tek-9 minimovie contest has finally been published!
The contest have had more than 100 entries of which only a few has been from Quake Live, so for the love of the game I thought I could bring the news for you Quake fans (and everyone else ofc!) here at ESR. :)
The saga continues!
This time Doom tries to do whatever he can to get Crash's attention,
as we will find out that there's only one particulary thing that will make
the heart of Crash tingle (and perhaps something else?)
Oh yeah, don't forget to vote for it - if you like it :)
Quake Live groups for CB NC CTF and TDM were announced yesterday. Since there has been some delay for a few days, first match week will start Mon 8 February, so all captains should schedule their matches by the end of the week.
Groups are published here for CTF and here for TDM.
