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.

Today marks the conclusion of our Year One Event, I hope everyone has enjoyed the first year of Beta and was able to earn their Year One award.

I know twelve players who certainly earned their awards this week as the world's best faced off at the ESL Intel Extreme Masters Seasons IV World Championships in Hannover, Germany. Earning the first IEM World Champion title was Shane "rapha" Hendrixson of the United States who defeated Anton "Cooller" Singov of Russia. Maciej "srsav3krazer" Krzykowski of Poland seized third place after his victory in the relegation match verses Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky. Congratulations to all of the ESL IEM4 participants and best of luck in future competitions. We have added four new awards to recognize these twelve professionals, shiny flair for their profiles.

In other recent news, the venue and dates for QuakeCon 2010 have been announced. This August 12th-15th, the event returns to the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas and is FREE to all attendees. We hope to see you there.

Also included in today's update are some additional improvements to the Duel Spectator function, extensions upon the existing AutoAction record features, and some improvements made to diagnose and improve PunkBuster interactions. Check out our Devblog for a full list of changes.

DeFrag World Cup 2010 (99 comments)
( Major News: Q3)
Posted by eThaD @ 08:27 CST, 9 March 2010 - iMsg
We were waiting for two years, and now the time has come. The biggest Defrag tournament continues its history with the 2010 edition. As you may already know, the most recent DeFrag World Cups were organized by Slovakia <Nemesis> and Slovakia TiTAN from Breakdown-HQ, the most popular Defrag site online. However, since these two guys don't have much time for the game they love so much, we welcome a new organizer, the great mapper and Defrag player, Russia GT-Agressor. As the breakdown scripts need to be modified and there's no one to do that, Belarus [cJs]ScOuT made a new engine for the cup.

Most of the rules weren't changed, and the descriptions of all the stuff you aren't allowed to do will be added soon. You can enlist for the cup until Sunday, March 28th. One player can participate in both solo VQ3 and solo CPM. Also, it is possible to play in one team as a VQ3 or a CPM player.

Event: IEM4
Russia's Quake maestro Russia Anton "Cooller" Singov talks in a video interview following his semi-final victory at the IEM IV World Championship. In that series Cooller managed to defeat Poland Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski for the first time in a playoff series, with the Pole being a player who has been the thorn in his side eliminating him at each of the last two major events.

Cooller talks about his dodging as well as addresses the recent controversy over restarts in his IEM IV European Final match-up with av3k which prompted the younger player to speak out in a recent interview. This time though Cooller is of the conclusion that he was the lucky one in coming through the semi-finals.

IEM Interview with rapha (88 comments)
( Major News: QL)
Posted by Nukm @ 03:04 CST, 6 March 2010 - iMsg
After dominating the Quake scene in 2009, United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson was thrown off his throne by EG player DaHanG at the IEM NA Finals. At the World Championship in Hannover rapha took revenge with a 3:0 victory and is looking stronger than ever. fragster.de fragster sat down with him to talk about his performance and the US scene.
You mentioned that you practiced with Cooller a lot before the Event. So what did you expect before the game and what do you think about how it went?

rapha: Well our styles clash and I have the feeling that we know each other inside out. There were so many times where one of us tried to attack and he was just shot down immediately. Or we would know that one of us is waiting in a certain area to catch the other out, so we would always choose the right path to run away. The first mistake normally costs a match, so it is about who will do less mistakes during the game. I did too many yesterday and he managed to win and rightfully so. I hope I get to face Cooller in the final but if I don't, I am not worried about it. I am only worried about getting into the final.

After some very inconsistent but anyhow pretty good performances, fragster.de fragster sat down with Sweden Magnus "fox" Olsson to talk a bit about the IEM 4 World Championship. fox provides an insight into his preparation for the Quake Live tournament, that consisted mostly of playing HoN. Furthermore, he explains how his goals for the tournament have changed dramatically.
How did you prepare for the event?

Sweden fox: I am almost embarrassed to tell people how I did prepare. I improved my HoN skills to such an amazing degree that it kinda affects other games and that’s how my Quake skills grew. I actually played about, I would say, maybe five 1on1 matches the past three weeks.
