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 1st qualifier round for the IEM5 European Championship QL will be played next week. The default date for all matches is 15:00 CDT on Wednesday the 22nd, whether a match will be streamed on ESL TV is not yet known.

Congratulations go out to Michael "rep" Czechowski in beating (and telefragging) his way to victory against David "ZenAku" Addati three maps to one. In the third place decider we saw yet another down-to-the-deciding map between Timmothy "zlr" Shey proving his worth to the talent of Peter "Ventz" Kidson. We thank all those who watched the finals live once again it was a great experience flooding the irc channel again.
The demos for all three QuakeCon 2010 tournaments are finally online.
"Unfortunately, due to technical problems the archive is missing several demos from key match-ups that were played on the tournament stage. The missing files have been documented within the archive."

At this year's gamescom, Bas "basZ" Peeperkorn, general manager of the Dutch-based clan Serious Gaming, gave an interview to the upcoming manager-focused project The Rocketjumper. In the 23-minute-long talk, he provides information on his clan's strategy and future website plans, shares his opinion about the esports potential of Quake Live and StarCraft 2, and also explains why Counter-Strike and CS: Source are both uninteresting for srs.
Still alive was about a one month project and was originally going to be a joint movie made by me & energy but for whatever reasons i ended up doing it alone. It's a community quakelive movie which as usual from me has slightly more ctf content than other movies, collected from the beautiful people of #qlpickup.eu. The movie has a fast soundtrack and a good mix of single shots and cap/quad runs. I really tried harder on editing than my previous movies and although it's still relatively 'simple' editing I think it's a noticeable improvement over my last 2 movies in terms of syncing & flow etc. I hope you will enjoy watching as much as i enjoyed making it!

Blammo the company behind GameKings and Firstlook events just announced that Duke Nukem Forever will be present at the FirstLook Event. Which is held on 2 and 3 oct 2010 in the Westergas Fabriek Amsterdam.
We have asked Jan Johan aka JJ the PR man behind Blammo, what we could expect. Would this be the PAX demo? Will we see a playable version? He gave us the typical response: "No Comment"
FirstLook won't only bring Duke Nukem, but we will also see KillZone 3, Dead Space 2, Dragon Age 2, Medal of Honor, Gran Turismo 5, Fallout New Vegas and many more major titles.
