Sellout Space
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.

1024x768 @ 50 FPS, XviD and runs for just over 10 minutes. So I recommend downloading rather than streaming.

I made the type of frag movie I love to watch. Which is 99% first person pov, with minimal credits, slow-mo and replays. Basic editing with frags synched to music.

Featuring frags from 1v1, tdm, ffa and ctf. With angst, Barney, cooller, czm, fox, geneticz, H1land3r, Ian, que?tion, noBap, p4j, raiden, Ren, sk!a, toxic, vertex, wocK_ and zyz.

Big thanks to H1land3r and smurkey for help uploading mirrors.

TourneyCPM Website

Maverick has set up all the online space needed to host all the series' matches, and collect stats for the players. Just the other day we finished setting up the servers, and the stats will begin before the signups open. They are as follows:


The international super finals will be held on the United States of America New York City and United Kingdom London servers. One round on each to make it fair for all.

:: Schedule
The TourneyCPM series schedule has been established for the next three months:
Late November: 1v1
Mid December: CTF
Mid January: NTF

:: Updates
There has been quite a few updates in terms of admins and reps, here are the updated lists:


If you wish to influence how this series unfolds, do not hesitate to message me or any of the admins on esr ESReality or mIRC #tourneycpm.

:: Shoutcasting
Another exciting piece of news is that we have found a shoutcaster for the events! Canada Luis "lsv" Sastre will be screaming his lungs out over the event and don't be surprised if he Dj's too. MaverickServers will be hosting the shoutcasting as well. lsv is looking for a partner for the event, he has a few people in mind, but if you think you are up to the job, message him or me in the channel.

Last but not least, the website is being forged soon, only a few weeks to work on it, so the essentials first! Hosting is being arranged as you read.

Posted by Kruzz @ 21:51 CST, 5 November 2008 - iMsg

This league will be a mix of the Jolt and the Clanbase leagues. It will be played at our own servers (gameservers.net) and the matches will be played at specific days and times, like Jolt. But it will be using a BO3 system with a play-off, like CB (atleast how it used to be). Depending on the number of signups there will be 1 or 2 divisions.

Signups are now open and if you want to sign your team you should send a mail to biggies.se (at) gmail.com with a full playerlist, signups will close November 14th.


Until QL beats Q3 we will continue with good old OSP Q3CTF and we hope you will join us and have an awesome time!

Review: Razer Moray headphones (33 comments)
( Major News: HW)
Posted by mahmoodsdotjpg @ 14:22 CST, 4 November 2008 - iMsg
GGL Wire has reviewed Razer's newest audio product, the Moray headphones, to be released in December. The in-ear headphones are marketed as gamer-specific, but do they really deliver?

Here's an excerpt:
Spec-wise, the Moray have a frequency response of 20 to 11000 Hz. Compare this heads-up to an offering from Sony like the MDR-EX75, quoted at 6 to 24,000 Hz, and you’ll see that the Moray are not intended for music listening and high-end response, though they are adequate for such activities.

The real questions you will have to ask yourself are: How many sets of headphones do I need? Do I want one middle of the road set for everything (gaming, gym, music listening) or a different set for each activity? How much does portability matter?

Posted by Zerter @ 07:51 CST, 4 November 2008 - iMsg
At the upcoming International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, which will take place from November 20 till November 30, a documentary film titled 'Beyond the Game' is to be aired featuring several WarCraft III players as they battle for World Cyber Games gold.

Made by renowned Dutch filmmaker Jos de Putter, the film mainly revolves around rivals China Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li (pictured) and Netherlands Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen who clash at WCG 2007 in United States of America Seattle. Featured as well is eSports Player of the Year 2004 Sweden Fredrik 'MaDFroG' Johansson, who reflects back on his competitive years as he is now living a life in Sweden that has nothing to do with gaming.


For a full synopsis read the film's entry at IDFA here, for more general information read it's Wikipedia entry and to stay updated and learn more about the film there are a series of on-going blogs which include entries by Jos de Putter and Manuel Schenkhuizen which can be found here.
SK|Rapha wins BenQ Quake 3 Challenge (25 comments)

Posted by symm2112 @ 17:41 CST, 3 November 2008 - iMsg
I want to thank all of the Quake players that took part in the BenQ Quake 3 Challenge either at the event or in just supporting the event. In the end, only one person could walk away with the BenQ 24" 16:9 LCD monitor and the $250 and that person was SK|Rapha. Settling for the 22" 16:9 LCD monitor and $150 was Chance of EG with Sway|Casey taking third place and going home with $100.

Also, thanks to the players that helped support it by watching the matches in GTV or just supporting Quake in general. This was a trial run to try to get the players to have fun again and I think this was definitely a fun event. Even players like Jarod "StreetRunner" Reisin from the AGPTour took part in the event. Please thank BenQ for showing their support and sponsoring this event so that we can shoot for a bigger event next year.

Also, a special thanks goes to Joe "nineX" Szymkowicz for running this event for me. He's been a great friend and helper to the Quake community. Also, thanks to the others involved in running Warfactory 2008 like Dave Derington, Mike Allen and Rushi Desai. We realize that this year has been hard on the gamers with the shift in games and events but they still throw a great event and we look forward to another one next year.

QUAKE 3 TDM - NATIONS CUP (179 comments)
( Major News: Q3)
Posted by Legie @ 12:15 CDT, 30 October 2008 - iMsg
Event: QNC'08
Since the Euro Open Cup is now well running, I had enough time to finish the preparations for yet another big tourney - no other than QUAKE 3 TDM NATIONS CUP itself. The whole thing should start within 5 weeks, although this may change if some things would take me more time than expected. In order to make this NC even better than the last time, I've decided to make a few changes:

- The number of maximum teams per country is now restricted to ONE
- The number of maximum players per team is now restricted to 7 + 1 (team captain)
- I have now granted access to logs for almost all of the European servers, therefore I will check the logs after each game in order to prevent smurfing (fake nicking)
- I will no longer tolerate game rescheduling because of absence. Each team gets one "Wild card" that can be used for this purpose, but only once in the whole tourney.
