Russian teams Virtus.Pro and forZe went head to head in some Counter-Strike a while back with an interesting twist.  While racking up headshots and doing Deagle saves they were being distracted by strippers to question a gamer's resolve; boobs or video games?

According to EnglishRussia:

Less than two years ago it was announced that millions would be invested into the UK gaming scene with the refurbishment of previous Omega Sektor venues and the construction of a new gaming venue in Birmingham. You may remember that the new  venue was labeled as the "Wembley Stadium of Gaming" by some of the press, however, after little more than a year of being open to the public, it has been announced that it will have to be shut down due to huge debts.

Most of us guys take this truth to be self-evident. Let's delve in this universe where Tide flows like wine and free time is spent washing dishes.

This past week was in a sense sad for the eSports community.. and on another hand it was simply hillarious. This article is misogynistic, sexist, satirical, rude, blunt, offensive, not politically correct, and probably illegal. …  More
