Hellraisers ANGE1: Despite beeing placed at the same group as Astralis at ESL finals I think WESA/ESL can make an exception and let astralis have a dennis as a stand-in. Illness is not something u can control, and Im sure everyone want to see world class CS after half-year-long league.

The infamous Fnatic overpass boost: 3 years later

Posted: 28 Nov 2017 02:35 AM PST

Today (November 28th 2017) marks the 3 year anniversary of one of CS:GO's most infamous and iconic moments, the legendary Dreamhack winter 2014 fnatic boost on overpass.

The Dreamhack Winter 2014 major quarter final between Team LDLC and fnatic is often referred to as one of the biggest scandals in esports, and it's awesome for so many different reasons.

Coming into the quarter finals, fnatic had just came off an unexpected loss to hellraisers, so instead of being on the completely other side of the bracket against NiP, they would come to verse LDLC in the third quarter final of the tournament.

This would be a tough challenge for LDLC, fnatic was their toughest rival at the time and had just came beat them in the last two tournament finals. On top of this, Fnatic had hinted they had something special planned for the third map, overpass.

The first map was dust 2, Team LDLC's pick. This was a very good map for both teams at the time. Team LDLC convincingly won the first half 10-5, and closed out the game 16-10.

The second map was cache, a very good map for fnatic. Fnatic convincingly win the map and we went on to the deciding map, overpass.

Fnatic were the favourites to win overpass. Despite all odds, Team LDLC had a fantastic CT half, securing a 12-3 lead going into the T side. However it is often forgotten that although it had a weaker view of the map, LDLC too used a ct spawn immortal boost on this side. To open up the second and last half of the series, LDLC win the pistol round despite fnatic's best efforts, even an attempt to gain an advantage using the boost. LDLC had done it, they were sure to win against fnatic at this point.

Going into round 17, fnatic were down 3-13, so decided to force buy, with olofmeister buying a scout. This is where the fun would begin. Fnatic do their CT spawn boost, exciting casters Anders and Semmler to new levels. This boost allows olofmeister to see different areas of T spawn, mid and B site. That round, olofmeister manages to pick off two terrorists which were moving towards monster tunnel on B site, the rounds which would follow would define the legacy of this team.

Throughout the half, round after round, Fnatic would use the boost, olofmeister was continuously getting picks with the scout, eventually upgrading to a scar-20. This would make his elevated attack much more deadly. LDLC were getting destroyed round after round, failing to figure out where the attacks were coming from, even taking a timeout to try and counter a well hidden olofmeister. Although the timeout came too late, they were already destroyed mentally. LDLC were no longer yelling and fist bumping, but instead, sat in silence.

LDLC lose the map 13-16. It was one of the most iconic comebacks to date.

The comeback from fnatic would result in them securing the series win, and they would advance them to the semi final. This is where things got crazy, the community was in outrage. All over social media, including subreddits for other games like league of legends, people were furious. There wasn't a place you could go without a talent, player or fan critiquing fnatic for what they had done.

What made people so angry was that it was soon discovered Fnatic had been saving this boost for months, even allegedly asking a YouTube user to remove a video showing how to do the boost. The boost was also deemed to be an 'immortal bug', a bug used by both teams throughout the match, LDLC's ct spawn boost however, was less advantageous. This was the reason for the offer of a map reset. People however jumped to the conclusion that fnatic's boost was illegal, and completely unfair to use, forgetting to mention both teams were at fault.

The extreme amount of hate from the community would pressure Dreamhack to investigate the match, resulting in the teams having to make a key decision.

The teams were offered to replay the map from 0-0, later suggested from 12-3, surprisingly, LDLC rejected the offer, instead deciding to forfeit from the tournament. Fnatic however felt so bad about the community's response that they instead decided to forfeit themselves, resulting in team LDLC advancing to the semi final, where they would beat Natus Vincere 2-0.

Following this semi final win they would beat NiP 2-1 in the grand final, crowning them major champions.

The match will be forever remembered in the history of esports as one of the most legendary, infamous and iconic moments, hate it or love it, Fnatic were legendary for pulling this off in the way they did, and it was absolutely one of the most defining moments of their careers.

YNk talks about BLAST: "I don't think this is a format that is ever going to be used as the main competitive format, but I think we have so many tournaments right now in the scene that there's no issue with trying something out that's different"

There is now a precedent that would allow Valve to DMCA takedown Youtube videos and Streams of people cheating in their games.

Posted: 28 Nov 2017 03:26 PM PST

Polygon Article

A 14 year old youtuber is getting sued by Epicgames for cheating and livestreaming it in FortniteBR.

"This company is in the process of attempting to sue a 14-year old child," Lauren Rogers said. "They are claiming he prepared derivative works based upon a copyrighted work and publicly performed and displayed this as such. They are also claiming he 'modified their game' to use a cheat and live streamed it. This would, of course, fall under the Copyright Act if he did in-fact modify their game."

As we all know there are youtubers streaming and making videos about CS:GO cheating with 50k+ Subscribers.

If this lawsuit is sucessful Valve would have a precedent for taking down these Videos from youtube as it is an copyright infringement.

edit: i should probably clarify, this isn't really about the guy getting sued, it's the fact that EPICGAMES is taking down FortniteBR cheating videos/streams from youtube. The lawsuit is only happening because he filed a counterclaim to the DMCA takedown.

CSGO Colouring book!

Posted: 28 Nov 2017 02:51 AM PST

Ever wanted to design skins but don't have the time or skills to use Photoshop? Say no more

PDF LINK: https://view.publitas.com/p222-9528/guns/

I have spent the last few months creating a CSGO Colouring book, with blank outlines and details of every gun in the game. The idea was initially as an aid for skin makers to draft initial ideas to then take digital but also for people/artists that want to have a go at designing a skin and could perhaps give to skin makers to turn digital for them.

It is designed in A4 as easily printable, black and white pages to be economical on your printer.

This is V1 of the document. I am planning to improve it in the future adding knives and other bits. If you have any feedback or improvements, please let me know.

If you do use the tool, it would be awesome if you would let me know and send any pictures of your drawings over... or post them on to the csworkshop reddit!

Cheers, cr4ck

special thanks to Ezikyl and the guys at reddit.com/r/csworkshop for their support whilst producing this

Edit: I have put this out for free, there should be a download link to the left of the PDF viewer.

Edit2: These are all made to scale, using the OBJ game files.
