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.
First eSports Yearbook published (32 comments)
Posted by diejule @ 14:08 CDT, 30 April 2010 - iMsg
The first eSports Yearbook is available for download and in print now.

The eBook version is entirely for free. The idea behind this book is that an overview of the eSports scene is collected every year. Students at universities could then find the articles via google's booksearch and quote from them for their papers on eSports or gaming. All players, managers, writers, photographers and other eSports representatives or even artists can contribute to the book. We tried to find a good mix of different eSports people from all over the world. You will find an article about Anton "Cooller" Singov, written by Konstantin Bös. Stermy himself wrote an article called "Stermy's Life Story" and Grubby talks about his first tournament.

We hope that the book will help people in eSports to present their causes and projects better to the press or sponsors. Please send your contributions and ideas until November 30th 2010. If you are working on papers about gaming or eSports at your university, please also consider handing in articles about your papers/research. The eSports Yearbook 2010 will be published in February 2011. Everything that you contribute should be about the eSports year 2010. All ideas and criticism are welcome. The email address for the editorial team is: contact@esportsyearbook.com.

Currently the book is also being translated into Russian and will be published soon on eSportsyearbook.com.

You can also order the book from amazon.de and amazon.uk (if it appears as temporarily not available, it should be fixed soon). And if you would like to order the book in a store you need this: ISBN number: 978-3839164310.

Yesterday evening, id Software just announced a large update for Quakelive on next Tuesday. As no further details were released, we can just assume so far that only the downtime will be big! The updates usually start around 15:00 CDT, but no information were given on this one excepted for a duration of 4-6 hours downtime.

If you are European and you have a match planned on Tuesday evening, it's time to cancel and find a new date!

Han-sai production is introducing a new Quake 3 frag movie: The Wipeout. The movie contains 1v1 and CTF frags from various maps, not only dm6 and ztn :).

The movie shows the best frags out of 10 years of quake 3 from Wipe´s collection. Fortunately there are still enough lan partys out there to have fun, meet ppl and play some quake. Most of the frags are from various lan partys he visited all over germany, austria and switzerland in the past years.


Also i would like to thank Finland FRS and Sweden PURRI for helping me upload this movie.

swooped has had the spotlight on him with DFM vs. EG and the SilentGamers Grand Finals last week -- will he deliver? Can DaHanG respond to his CTF team's loss? Is Scooby a top level QuakeLive player, too? Who will emerge victorious?

All these questions and more shall be answered tonight!!
