RIOT SQUAD PART WAYS WITH FNS


Riot Squad have announced the release of in-game leader Pujan "FNS" Mehta. FNS spent just over six months as the captain of Riot Squad, initially joining the roster alongside Jonathan "Jonji" Carey in August 2019. The team found quick success as they earned a spot at the MSI MGA Finals, while simultaneously solidifying themselves as a top-three team in the North American division of ESEA MDL Season 32. A pair of narrow 14-16 losses to ex-Epsilon and ViCi at Riot Squad's MSI MGA Finals appearance left the team battling through a plethora of online qualifiers and events, most notably the online component of ECS Season 8 and ESEA MDL. While Riot Squad failed to find success in any of their ECS Season 8 week appearances, a flawless run through the playoff bracket of ESEA MDL S32 gave...

TALENT LINEUP ANNOUNCED FOR “B SITE” LEAGUE


The broadcast team for the league tentatively named "B Site" has been announced. A tweet from the Esports Championship Series (ECS) account revealed nine talent members that would take part in "a new CS:GO League" in March 2020, adding credence to an earlier report from DBLTAP that indicated that FACEIT would pull the plug on ECS and turn focus to producing B Site. Notably, B Site's concurrent overlap with ESL Pro League means that the below talent members will not be a part of ESL's broadcast lineup for EPL, leaving many of CS:GO's most notable on-air talent already tied to one side of a tug-of-war between the two leagues. The lineup features a number of familiar names, including that of Auguste "Semmler" Massonnat. While the announcement...

Topson confirms he will return to OG, shuts down replacement rumors


Godson won’t be bowing out of the competition just yet. OG’s players have taken an extended break from competitive Dota 2 after winning each of the last two Internationals, which, while they are always well deserved after a long season, always tend to cause the rumor about roster changes within the community. Last year, Anathan “ana” Pham was the sole focus of the community’s speculation since he took a longer break than the rest of the team, but this year Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen was added to the list, too. But in a single post, the polarizing mid player put rumors about him leaving OG to rest. On his Instagram, Topson simply posted an image of him staring down the camera with a slight...

Beastcoast outplayed the TI7 champs Nigma!


The WePlay! Bukovel Minor Champions, Team Nigma got eliminated from the Leipzig Major only on the 9th-12th place by beastcoast, who displayed a lot of versatility and willingness to take risks in order to keep the SA Dota hope alive in the tournament. Nigma started the series on the wrong foot, being taken by surprise by a mid lane Broodmother. They were planning for the long haul and the big team fights with Phantom Lancer, Outworld Devourer and Chen. But beastcoast, who actually struggled in the early laning stage, messed with Nigma’s game past the 15-minute mark, when Brood got her Orchid and was able to focus down its targets. Game two went into the Minor Champions favor, but not...
