I don't understand how baseball writers keep pumping out content on Barry Bonds and steroids. It's only been a few days since the story broke about Warden's offer to Sasquatch, and I'm already starting to get tired of thinking and writing about it.

Of course, when it seems like when I'm at my lowest point, something new comes up to pique my interest again.

 

And maybe it just seems this way, but I can't help but feel that every new development in our eSport…  More

I don’t know what happened, but I think the stats for the CGS Region 1 disappeared off the face of the planet. Even the CGS site doesn’t have them anymore, and I’ve been up, down, through, back, and forward in search of something. I even tried to manually manipulate the URLs, to no avail. I’m pretty sure I’ve clicked every link that was there, and I’ve clicked some of them enough that they’re probably starting to recognize me, like the guy behind t…  More

It came down to the wire in the CEVO-P Source Finals when the Dallas Venom and San Francisco Optx played to a tie through three maps and needed one Overtime round to decide it all.

When the round was over, the Venom disconnected as the winners of CEVO-P and $5,000 richer.

The Finals was a Best-of-Three format, with the maps being Dust2, Inferno, and Nuke. Dust2 and Inferno proved to be lopsided for each team, as Dallas took a 1-0 series lead behind a 10-3 victory.

If you're like me, you've got all your demos (including the one where you may or may not have been deathmatching with Ksharp and knifed him three times) sitting in a folder or on a DVD somewhere, just waiting for the day when you're motivated to make a little movie of your time in eSports.

But we can't be bothered to make a movie now, we've got a scrim!

Oooh, and we've got the WoW raid in a few hours.

Then there's anime to watch, idiots to flame on the forums, food to eat, beds to sleep in, and ma…  More

I started writing this yesterday, and I was going to include it in a piece with the controversy surrounding Warden, Sasquatch, and the infamous match.

Then people threw some extra kerosene on the fire -- gallons and gallons of kerosene --- along with a firecracker or two, and I changed my mind. There's so much to say about the other situation that this subtopic completely lost its place. If nine out of ten words were going to be about the "bribery", or whatever we want to call it, I might …  More

The Dallas Venom eliminated Team Pandemic from the CEVO-P Playoffs and move on to face the San Francisco Optx in the CEVO-P Finals.

Corey "kaM" Hanes came up big for the Venom in both halves, picking up key entry kills as a CT to help Dallas to an 8-1 lead after the first half. He was 13-2 after five rounds and finished 19-5, including two defuses.

He played Inner on the CT half of Train but picked up most of his kills through the first five rounds rotating to outside as Pandemic split the outer …  More

The first few rounds of the CEVO-P playoffs are over, and the action wasn't kind to teams with any recent claim to fame.

Former CEVO Champion compLexity? Good thing Sasquatch didn't take the bribe; he wouldn't have made much money. coL lost to the Optx (in overtime) and Carolina right off the bat.

Guardians, they of the 11-1 record and regular-season champions? They didn't look like the same team, and also finished 0-2 after losing to those pesky Optx and the Venom.

Carolina, arguably the h…  More

Approximately twenty-four hours after the initial allegations of bribery, and after much speculation in the community and media about the possible fates of compLexity and Devastation, CEVO made a ruling regarding both the match itself and the subsequent controversy.

compLexity is advancing to the playoffs, and get a chance to defend their CEVO-P title.

After being given the full twenty-four…  More

I hope you're not tired of the controversy between compLexity and Devastation, because there's more to say. The only thing I won't tell you is what to believe, because ultimately that's up for you.

That being said, it's important that allegations have the proper emphasis. One of the drawbacks of the Internet, where everybody has a voice, is that those voices often carry the same weight in the community.

They shouldn't.

And when we look at it, the opposing claims in this case don't have the same a…  More

 

 

In a controversial interview on CarolinaCore.com, Hoang “sOnNy” Tran says that his teammate, Sam “Devour” Chamma, is better than coL’s legendary AWPer. Danny “fRoD” Montaner – the AWPer in question – disagrees, as does the coL community, Jason Lake, and seemingly everybody from Aunt Jemima to Led Zeppelin. Although I try not to put a lot of faith into opinions I hear from my syrup, especially before I’ve taken my mornin…  More
