Francoska ekipa Titan, je pričakovano zmagovalka Gamers Assembly 2015 eventa potem, ko so z 16-13 v mapi de_nuke ter 16-12 na de_dust2 premagali francoski LDLC White.

Čeprav sta večja turnirja i54 ter Copenhagen games dobesedno zasenčila event, ki se imenuje Gamers Assembly je lepo če omenimo tudi rezultate iz tega eventa. Na njem je tekmovalno 8 ekip, kar 7 med njimi pa je bilo francoskih, zadnja osma je bila bulkarski Gplay.

Titan je bil pričakovano favorit na temu turnirju, saj je bil dejansko edina ekipa, ki je dosedaj že tekmovala v elitnem delu najboljših ekip.  Preostali vrstni red si lahko preberete spodaj:

1. Titan – $10,000
2.  LDLC White – $5,000
3.  Gplay – $2,200
4.  beGenius – $1,100

Pri organizaciji Dactylion-esports so oznanili, da bodo od aprila naprej tudi sami imeli CS:GO ekipo pod njihovim imenom.

Ekipo z vsemi člani najdete tukaj – Counter Strike Global Offensive team. Po nekaj menjavah članov v ekipi so sedaj dokončno sprejeti pod slovensko organizacijo, saj so pokazali dovolj dobre rezultate za igranje na njihovem nivoju.

Pri skupnosti Counter Strike Slovenija vam želimo veliko sreče ter uspehov v turnirjih!

Vse informacije najdete tukaj.

Prihaja nov e-športni festival, ki bo potekal The Gaming Paradise! To je prvi večji LAN event, na katerem bodo nastopile povabljene ekipe.

Od 6-13 septembra bo v slovenskem Portorožu potekal največji LAN pri nas. Povabljene ekipe v igri CS:GO se bodo pomerile za 50.000$ nagradnega sklada! 50.000$ bo odšlo tudi za DOTO 2, potekali pa bodo tudi manjši turnirji, na katere se bodo ekipe lahko tudi prijavile. Nagradni sklad za “manjše” igre bo vseeno lep, saj imajo slovenski organizatorji za ostale igralce pripravljene 10.000$ nagrad. S prva so bili pri organizaciji The Gaming Resort povezani z srbskim e-fragom a je to sodelovanju po razpadu srbrske organizacije razpadlo.

Potekali bodo tudi razni eventi na samem dogodku, saj se bo vse dogajalo praktično ob morju. Imeli bodo razne koncerte, zabave in tudi gamerski oddelek.

Na voljo so tudi že vstopnice, ki vključujejo tudi bivanje v hotelu s 4 zvedicami ter druge možnosti. Najcenejša vstopnica pa znaša 190€.

OPERATION VANGUARD

• Operation Vanguard has come to a close.

MAP GROUPS

• Train has been added to the Active Duty map pool.
• Nuke has been moved to the Reserve map pool.

GAMEPLAY

• Smoke grenades are now more reliably kept track of on the client to prevent mismatches between smoke particle visuals and screen overlay visuals.
• Fixed players being able to double stack inside a smoke to peek out of the top (and be really hard to see from outside the smoke).
• Updated expiration of the smoke screen overlay to match more closely to the visuals of when the third person particles expire and vice versa.
• Updated the vertical position slightly of the smoke particles to reduce seeing though edges of the smoke (particularly at the bottom).
• Fixed spectator sometimes not getting the smoke overlay for the player they are spectating when that alive player is inside smoke.
• Improved spawnpoint selection code to not spawn at occupied spawn points or spawn points of a different team.
• Tagging values have been tweaked slightly to increase tagging on higher mobility weapons, and updated values for tagging on multiple hits to make it more effective (Added a guide to explain how tagging works: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412879303
• Increased price of the M4A1-Silencer from 3100 to 3200 to align the weapon’s price with its utility.
• Increased Tec-9’s damage fall-off to reward players that close engagement distance.
• Lowered Tec-9’s magazine size to 24 to reward more discriminate firing.
• Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers.
• The accuracy of the MP9, MP7, and Mac-10 have been improved.

STATRAK

• Trade up contracts work on StatTrak weapons.
• There is now a StatTrak swap tool available for purchase. It swaps the StatTrak value between two of the same weapon.

SERVER BROWSER

• Fixed the server browser showing the map workshop path in the “Map” column.
• Added a sortable column to the server browser to display whether a server is running a map from the workshop or not.

• Server browser will save the layout changes made between game sessions.
• Updated the first time server browser pop up message.

UI

• Fixed scoreboard hiding at match end when you bring up a player’s Steam profile.
• Added a game option in team options section to control whether lobbies get created with public access or private requiring invites for friends.
• Added Flavor Text to the Bank collection.

MISC

• Add surround sound support (quad/5.1) on Linux.
• Marked nav commands as a cheat to protect against potential server exploits.
• Chicken kills are now logged in CS event logs on game servers including attacker and weapon information.
• HE grenade detonations are now logged in CS event logs prior to logging player deaths from corresponding HE grenade explosion.
• Added sv_reliableavatardata 2 game server setting for LAN tournaments production. In this mode the game server will load player avatars from corresponding csgo/avatars/76512345678-.rgb files (or csgo/avatars/default.rgb if the corresponding SteamID avatar is missing), and avatars will be recorded in GOTV demos. To produce avatars rgb files tournament operators can place 64×64 png player avatars as csgo/avatars/76512345678-.png and run the client-side command cl_avatar_convert_rgb to convert all 64×64 png files into rgb format.
• Optimized the process of logging in players to matchmaking backend during game updates.
