Now the fun begins. It's time to start choose your streaming platform.“Esports has seen a gradual development of people trading skins. It’s something that grew organically. We are now at the point where it should be regulated like in other industries.”The stadium seating is full, the 500-strong audience lit fire red and ice blue. Gamescom, held annually in Cologne, Germany, is Europe’s largest video game fair. This game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a popular first-person shooter, is its big draw.Most players, and reviewers, placed blame of its low popularity on its inability to evolve the franchise. Veterans noted that it was a step back in a few ways, namely how the community server window was hidden from view in favor of matchmaking as well as its poor competitive scene support. It looked as if history was going to repeat itself, and CS 1.6 would remain the most popular title in the franchise despite its age.

there's a whole slew on offer: Bring Your Own Computer weekend and day passes, Turn Up and Play passes that allow you to use one of the machines provided, as well as spectator tickets. Once that's done you'll be able to sign up and secure your place at the tourney.Enemy fought back convincingly in game two, particularly jungler Adjust on Serqet—where Epsilon had a good hold on the map in the first game, here repeated pickoffs prevented them from mustering the same control. However not everything went Enemy’s way: Epsilon solo laner Dimi, who has been struggling with flu throughout the later stages of the tournament, went on an absolute tear as Tyr, soloing Saltmachine’s Bellona and acting as his team's unstoppable frontline in crucial later engagements. Along with a brilliant performance by Epsilon midlaner Yammyn as Isis, he was instrumental in turning a late teamfight that tipped a losing game in Epsilon’s favour. Enemy once again came out ahead in game three, but Adapting once again had Thor—and, once again, Enemy couldn’t quite win the battle of the junglers. Enemy's Adjust fell behind on Hun Batz (the same character he fell behind with in game one) while Adapting played an even better game than he had previously. Epsilon captain iRaffer proved that Geb shields win Smite championships, and a great late kill on Adjust by Yammyn’s Medusa tipped another close game Epsilon’s way. As Enemy fought for their lives, Adapting landed the Thor dunk to end all Thor dunks—and, in this case, to end Worlds. With Enemy wiped off the map, Epsilon stormed through the Phoenix and right onto the Titan, ending the tournament and earning $500,000.

To get further clarity on the ESL’s perspective on this issue I spoke with Michal Blicharz, Managing Director Pro Gaming at ESL.The ESL One Cologne Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament that wrapped up this weekend with an exciting win for Fnatic was the first event in which competitors were subject to randomized drug testing. And you'll never guess who was caught trying to cheat! Really, you won't, because I'm about to tell you: The answer is nobody.Collecting guns in CS:GO has kinda become a meta game. I don't really care about it, but I think a lot of the people who play Counter Strike play it for the full meta game -- collecting of guns and all that. I think part of it is the whole collecting thing, kinda like Pokemon.CS:GO is still very fundamentally team-focused, and they don't add a lot of elements like kill streaks and explosives and air strikes. I find that kinda stuff really detracts from team-play. I think the Call of Duty stuff, the way they add all those, the kill streaks etc., it's more for players who aren't really good at killing people, and they wanted to add something that would be essentially a cheat. I didn't enjoy the perks in CoD. That kinda stuff took away from the skill-based gameplay. I think it caters towards people who aren't really good at shooting, who still want to play.Artur Minacov, 21 and John Brechisci, 28, founded a site called OPSkins in January, and say they’ve since made a fortune buying and selling virtual video game gun skins online.Battery life has long been a joke for gaming laptops. To yield gaming prowess of any measure, notebooks are normally affectionately named “desktop replacements” and never disconnected from the wall. As modern architectures have improved process nodes and reduced power requirements, it's finally become possible for gaming laptops to operate for a moderate amount of time on battery. Battery life is dictated by a few key points: Active power consumption of the components, thermal levels of the system and battery, and power efficiency at other locations in the stack (S0iX on CPUs, DevSleep with SSDs, for instance).

Phew, okay, what does all this mean in practise? Well, right now, developers seem to be getting slightly better visual performance from the PlayStation 4. A lot of games available for both systems – including Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed IV and Dragon Age: Inquisition – run in the full native resolution – 1080p – on PS4 but on 900p or less on Xbox One (IGN has a handy native resolutions chart). However, the recently re-released Grand Theft Auto V seems to show visual parity between Xbox One and PlayStation 4, although some sources are reporting better draw distances and more dense foliage on the PS4 version.It’s likely however, that as developers become more accustomed to the slightly different way that Xbox One handles memory, we’ll see the visual performance improving.The claims come from the Global Offensive community on Reddit, where estimates put the number of banned cheaters at around 1,600 - and that's a conservative guess. That's a lot of banhammers dropping through the Valve Anti-Cheat System.Another CES came and went, and with Valve continuing its hold on production, vendors began shipping their “Steam Machines” under independent branding. Hardware manufacturers had too many resources tied-up in production to match Valve’s more calculated design pace, and were forced to launch aging, proprietary platforms as HTPCs. The systems, of course, could still be a “Steam Machine” – they just wouldn’t be branded as such, would not include the controller, and the user would manually install SteamOS.I Googled “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive cheats,” and quickly ended up at a user-friendly cheat provider. Based on the size of its community and traffic, it's one of the biggest. I'm going to call it Ultra Cheats, a fake name, to protect the anonymity of the sources I talked to. Those sources, like Zero, have also had their online handles altered. Ultra Cheats didn't accept credit (other sites did), so I used PayPal to buy a one-month subscription for CS:GO cheats for $10.95. This gave me access to the site's VIP forums where I could talk to other members, administrators, cheat coders, and download Ultra Cheats' cheat loader, which checks in with its DRM server. It also gave me access to around-the-clock technical and customer support via TeamSpeak.

Is it all above board, then? Like hell it is. Traders regularly contact each other with PayPal or bank details, in a bid to keep that 15 percent Valve cut firmly in their pockets. The problem is that trades done outside of the Steam platform are a risky business, and often turn sour -- sometimes money exchanges hands, but weapons are never traded, and the inexperienced are often rinsed dry.It was only three weeks ago when Peter Souvlis, one of the more veteran players in the Australian CS:GO scene, was streaming and playing matchmaking games with viewers. Souvlis has been doing this for a fair while, so it’s wasn’t too unusual for him to get messaged by strangers.Things started off on the wrong foot when Valve remained characteristically opaque about its decision to ban the iBP players. When speaking of Valve’s investigation, one of those players, Montreal’s own Keven “AZK” Larivière, said, “I never really had a talk with them…for two or three weeks we didn’t receive any words. “Nothing was regulated, there were no rules in place…it’s just something that’s never happened before and I know they’re using us as an example for everyone,” he continued.It took the Hearthstone community less than a day to work out that the cheeriness of the emotes was directly proportional to the amount of salt they triggered in your opponent. Got Tirion from your Unstable Portal? “Happy Feast of Winterveil!” Your Piloted Shredder just spat out a Millhouse? “Happy Feast of Winterveil!” Some heroes’ delivery is more annoying than others. Jaina, who’s insufferably smug cow at the best of times, is the absolute pits. As this Reddit thread notes, Winter Veil has completely changed the BM game. Against this backdrop of humbuggery, we decided to be the change we wanted to see in the Hearthstone world, by creating a deck that gave back...Just a couple of weeks after announcing its recruitment of the former Skyred Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team, Australian esports organization 24/7 Esports has cut ties with the group over allegations that its players were involved in match-fixing.

“Back in January and early February 2015 we took action after we discovered that a small number of professional CS:GO players were engaged in match-fixing. Our decision was to ban these players indefinitely from involvement in Valve-sponsored events,” Valve wrote in a CS:GO blog post. “To clarify, the bans for these players are permanent, and players proven to have taken part in match-fixing will be permanently banned.”
