The fact is that Edward (He's before Gosu Pepper ) __ I have long been on knives with Ad-Carrie "Gambits" Evgeny Andryushin (Genja) , although it was almost not advertised.
According to Edward, the last failures of the five shook the fragile team spirit, and he did not find another solution except to leave. Recall that in a year and a half of performances, the Russians managed to go from Team Empire to Moscow Five and Gambit Gaming, as well as win IEM in Kyiv and Katowice and become the second on LCS Europe Season 3 Spring Playoffs And Mlg Winter Championship 2013.
► Eduard Abgaryad – one of the best supports in the world and a participant in the Shanghai tournament of all the stars in League of Legends.
The departure of the leading support was a serious blow to championship ambitions Gambit Gaming , And the team manager Konstantin Pikiner (Groove) Slots Shine Casino, Naturally, he took this news seriously.“I have always been and will be an opponent of changes in the composition that is able to win, because in any team there are difficult times, and the player’s change is only a temporary exit from the situation. That is why we performed in the same composition for a year and a half, but there are situations when changes cannot be avoided. I respect Eduard as a person and as a player. He is rightfully considered one of the best supports in the world, and I have no doubt that loud victories are waiting for him soon, ”he said.

Instead of Edward, the team was accepted for a trial period Andrey Plesistov (Darker). He is well known to the old -timers of the team, because at one time he already played with them in the composition MTG. The chance to prove himself introduced himself to the newcomer almost immediately – the team took him on LCS Dreamhack And LCS Moscow , and Darker did not disappoint!

Disassembly of the month – Dota 2
Solo, Rox.KIS, Starladder and 322
Last month, everything is world Dota2 -The community closely observed the development of events in the already legendary story with the ROX player.KIS Alexei Berezin (Solo) and his 322 dollars. Briefly introduce the case of those who do not know what happened to the Russian Dother and what this amount is here.
► Russian team ROX.KIS on the Polish Lan Fins Raidcall Ems One.
So far, all leading teams in Europe and North America were on Dreamhack Summer 2013 , Rox.KIS as part of the online part of the sixth season Starladder Starsers played a match with a Russian team ZRAGE. Commented on that insignificant meeting Streamer Roman Lepikhin ( Casper ) who was one of the first to suspect something was amiss.
Being obvious favorites of the confrontation, Rox.KIS They made simply incredible mistakes and died even where it would seem impossible to die in principle. A few minutes later, the frank “fid” performed DREAD ’A and companies ZRAGE confidently won the match, and Casper began to understand.
► "322 History" instantly blew up the Internet, and the craftsmen filled the network with similar pictures and various memes.
At first he shared his thoughts heading for Dreamhack Vitaly dragging ( v1lat ), and after he turned to the representatives of the bookmaker Egamingbets.Com With a request, whether there were some strange bets on this game. The bookmakers analyzed the money set on Zrage and still found one very suspicious bet.
Made her a certain guskovaav , who later turned out to be a girl of Alexei Berezina (Solo), also living in Novorossiysk. Won 322 dollars (coefficient 3.22), she immediately transferred to WMZ- Rox player wallet.KIS, to find out which was not difficult.
► Funny amateur rox disassembly video.KIS and SLTV in the style of the film "False" (1997)
Having found out all this, V1lat extremely reacted to the act Solo , And representatives Starladder.TV In a matter of minutes, they posted on the site the news of shameful disqualification of both the player and the team. In the hearts of the League judges, they banned the organization ROX.KIS on all his leagues for one year, their players Dota2- composition – by three, and guilty – for life.
Managers Rox.KIS At first they did not agree with their verdict, saying that the player most likely set up, but later conducted their own investigation. When all the facts were confirmed, and Solo admitted to his deed, Rox was asked to mitigate the punishment.
► Alexey Berezin (Solo) with his girlfriend. Surely she helped him with Webmoney; however, do not assertion.
At first Starladder I didn't want to listen to anything, but they stood up for the guilty team Natus Vincere And Virtus.Pro , And the star league under their pressure made concessions. After a couple of days on the site Dota2.Starladder.TV There was a final news, in which there were no more accusations against the “Roxes”, but Solo took all the guilt.
Despite the indignation of V1lat’s, the team was left in Starseries , And Alexei Berezin was removed only for a year. It would seem that this will end there, but it wasn’t there- Mousesports And Kaipi Suddenly they refused a trip to Lan -finals, and the next applicant for the last ticket were listed Rox.KIS.
Naturally, after everything that happened, Starladder could not allow a team that was almost legally disqualified, later ended up on the Lan finals. Their presence in Kyiv would be a serious spot on the League reputation, and representatives SLTV Well understood this.
After many hours of proceedings Rox.KIS "stopped applying for a trip", and the Swedes played a slot 4FC And ICCUP. The latter won the last, and Starladder , The loser of the battle, it seems, has not yet lost the war. If Solo and the company had not leaked that ZRAGE game, then they would legally go to LAN by glasses. Here is such a hardener, but in South Korea , By the way, for such "plums" they put in prison.

Month Update – CS: GO
Grenade trajectories and new de_mirage
In the middle of last month Valve released the next major update for Global Offensive. The main innovation was the addition of a tournament card to the matchmaking match de_mirage. Recall that earlier she was very in demand in Counter-Strike: Source And in the legendary Counter-Strike 1.6.
► New de_mirage performed by Valve
The creators of the game added to a popular regime not existing a long time ago de_mirage_ce (Analogue of a card from CS 1.6 ), and a completely new version. “Mirage” performed by Valve turned out to be much lighter, and all the main positions on the map were saved. The next in line de_tuscan – He will appear at the end of July.
Another pleasant innovation was the introduction of grenades into the game and the audience modification. In the game, it only works with the team sv_grenade_trajectory 1 , But in Observer – By default. Thanks to this useful function, beginners can remember faster where this or that smoke grenade will fly, and will learn how to use them more efficiently.
► Multi -colored grenades flight paths will help terrorists and only then the players for protection.
A little corrected the accuracy of the once popular semi -nypers automatic rifles Aug And SG553. If in Counter-Strike 1.6 This weapon, although rarely, could be found in major competitions, then in CS: go you almost never see them. But shotguns on economic rounds are used everywhere.
They are forced to state that, despite all skepticism in relation to the “global offensive”, the game becomes better every day. More and more useful functions are introduced into it, although there is still no muffler on M4A1 and nothing has been done in relation to the values Updaterate And CMDRate In the matchmaking match. I wonder why?

Duel of the month – Starcraft 2
Tournament "Battle of four-2013"
June 30 Computer Sports Federation of Moscow And Moscow Youth Multifunctional Center joint efforts organized a good tournament in Heart of the Swarm. It was attended by four strongest CIS teams, each of which exhibited two virtual strategists.
►, unfortunately, there were few spectators, but those who came quickly created a unique atmosphere of high -quality Starcraft 2 tournaments.
But if at Team Empire , Natus Vincere And Rox.KIS Several players have someone to choose from, then from Virtus.Pro Only one Starcraft – Artem Garavtsov ( Slivko ), and they needed to find someone during the tournament. Good organizers allowed them to declare any other strong player from the CIS.
The choice of managers fell on a promising nineteen -year protoss Artem Avramenko ( Verdi ), now playing for the German team ANEXIS ESPORTS. Artem joyfully responded to the invitation, because the game for Virtus.Pro I promised to be very conditional, and the good experience of playing the LAN with the best players of the CIS, of course, is only a plus.
► Personal fans of the player ROX.KIS Andrei Guldyashova (Livezerg).
As a result, six Russian players, as well as Ukrainian Strelok and Belarusian Lowly , were scattered in two approximately equal groups of groups. In the first favorites were Anton Plebanovich (Lowly) And Dmitry Kostin (Happy) , But only the last one entered the playoffs. The second place unexpectedly for many was taken by Verdi, which in addition to playing in Starcraft 2 , By the way, he is seriously engaged in classical music.
There were no sensations in quarter B, where again the only “real” representative of Virtus suffered Fiasco unexpectedly for many.Pro – Slivko. He lost two starting matches, and later lost in a triple replay in second place. First place, with three victories in three matches, took Evgeny Oparyshev ( Strelok ).
► Artem Garavtsov (Slivko) has something to boast and besides Starcraft 2. It's nice that there are players who do not forget about sports.
The stage of the playoffs passed under a happy star for Verdi , which a couple of months ago already flashed in our digescrates in the context of the scandal from Adolf ’Om on IEM Katowice. Very talented and sometimes very uncultured Verdi first defeated the last representative in the semifinals Na’vi – Strelok, and later sensationally defeated Happy.
On the eve of the final Happy In an interview, he said that Verdi For him, an easy and predicted opponent, but in fact received on the nose in the final (1: 3). Thus, in the team standings won Virtus.Pro , And in the individual – Verdi , which was not supposed to be in the tournament. Here are such miracles!
