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.

Cooller: death asked me to put ZeRo4 out (170 comments)
Posted by Thorin @ 15:12 CST, 18 February 2010 - iMsg
The second part of SK Gaming's three part 1on1 interview with the Quake dueling master Russia Anton "Cooller" Singov has been released today. In this video interview Cooller explains his thoughts on putting United States of America ZeRo4 out of the 2002 WCG by dropping a game in the group stage, Russia b100.death's role in that decision and whether he'd do something like that again.

The two time ESWC champion also offers his analysis of Russia uNkind's WCG victory, and how luck may have aided him in a specific area, as well as his fellow Russian's perhaps wasted potential in light of Cooller's own legacy. With United States of America Fatal1ty having retired before Cooller reached the top of the international scene does he wish he could have knocked him off just as he knocked off ZeRo4 on his route to the top?

The interview can be watched on SK Gaming.

Posted by KekS @ 14:54 CST, 17 February 2010 - iMsg
Apparently Blizzard has just started sending out the first waves of betakeys for the highly anticipated StarCraft 2. Earlier today the minimum System requirements have been brought to light:


So far it is unclear whether the keys are being distributed to fansite recommendations, blizzcon key winners or opt-ins. I will keep you posted once I have more info.

Update 1 (Source???)
We don’t have an exact start date to share at this time, but note that when it does begin, we will be adding additional regions to the beta test in phases. North America, Australia, and New Zealand will be the first regions to begin beta testing, and other regions will follow afterward in phases. We will have more information to share about all of these phases in the future.

Short interview with Zhibo "Jibo" Fan (118 comments)
Posted by Nukm @ 21:33 CST, 16 February 2010 - iMsg
During the IEM Asian Championship, where China Zhibo "Jibo" Fan managed to come out on top at the Quake Live tournament, fragster.de fragster had the chance to talk with the Asian superstar. So he explained why QL wasn't his game at the beginning, what motivated him again to play the game and why he is spending most of his time to watch demos.
I heard you've spent a lot of time watching demos from other IEM Finals participants before your semifinal match. Did you find out anything special?

China Jibo: I started watching demos since my first practice day. I didn't know anything about 1on1 in QL, so I needed to learn up from the lowest level. I even watched some demos two or three times, from both POV. After this, I started to collect puzzles for my tactic in this game.
The special is: Demos are like a book, aim is like a labs – combine them and you will own.

We are happy to announce the third season of the BiBS CTF league! And the sign-ups are already open for EU and NA! To play in BiBS, all clans attending have to register at bibsql.com. After the registration, your clan also has to sign-up before playing in BiBS!

In order to get accepted into BiBS, every clan has to have a minimum of four players in the clan’s roster (preferably five to six players). The skill doesn't matter as the teams will be seeded into appropriate divisions. An active IRC channel for each team is required. More about the rules are coming shortly.


Regarding the playings, we are still working to have the finals played in Europe. The finals in North America will not be played.

Also, here are the official rankings from North America:

Posted by fnaticStreeT @ 03:28 CST, 15 February 2010 - iMsg
With the Extreme Masters World Finals just around the corner as part of our run-up coverage to the event we had a chance to talk to the American Quake Live superstar; United States of America Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty.

DaHanG qualified for the World Finals in a stunning fashion with the highlight being his defeat of another American juggernaut on the Quake Live scene, rapha. We asked DaHanG about his practice schedule, how the distance he has to travel affects him at European events and how it felt to beat a player like rapha in the qualifiers and plenty more for your reading pleasure.

Top 10 FPS Multiplayer Maps, Really? (257 comments)
Posted by Terbo @ 00:29 CST, 15 February 2010 - iMsg
In the latest addition of gameinformer there is an article, written by Nick Ahrens, on the top 10 first person shooter multiplayer maps. I can live with some of his choices but obviously this writer didn't do his homework. My first issue with this list has to be his 10th choice; Tokay's Tower of Quake 2. If you're going to choose any map from Quake 2 it would obviously be The Edge. The second thing that bothered me about this list is that was the only true deathmatch map chosen, not a single Unreal Tournament map. Third, this writer obviously favored the Battlefield series seeing as there were 3 different maps from the BF series.

Have a look for yourself (picture).
