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.

G7 Adds Quake Live Ranking (10 comments)
( Major News: QL)
Posted by Dronar @ 03:59 CDT, 14 August 2009 - iMsg
The G7 organization has decided to add Quake Live to their ranking system with QuakeCon 2009 beeing the first ranked event.
With Quakelive being added to the grid of more and more tournaments in the future and Quake in general having such a huge past as a competitive eSports title, the G7 Teams decided to start a ranking for it with Quakecon 2009 being the very first tournament to earn points. The ranking will fall under the same set of rules as CounterStrike 1.6 and WarCraft III do. As the granted points at the first tournament need to be determined and the G7 Teams look at the grid of players and competition as a major tournament, a total of 240 points will be played out at Quakecon 2009.

Posted by PuertoRican @ 02:14 CDT, 12 August 2009 - iMsg
Not to long ago, we conducted a very interesting video interview with one of the most famous faces in the Warcraft 3 pro gaming scene, China Fly100%.

The main factor for why this interview was interesting was obviously the fact that the questions were asked in Korean, then translated to Chinese, then back to Korean and finally into English for the subtitles...

Fly speaks about his performance in the e-Stars Seoul event, current feelings about Warcraft 3, imbalance in Warcraft 3, thoughts about the future release of Starcraft 2 and where he see’s himself and others from China after its release, who he thinks will be the best country to play the game, and much more.
