Dota 2 giants OG have officially announced their entry into CS:GO with the long-awaited lineup composed by Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen and Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt. The news confirms what has been an open secret for around two months, with various reports tracking the progress of the two main instigators, Aleksib and NBK-, throughout their decisions when it came to the roster as well as the organization they would represent. Every piece of the team is now locked in after the four-man core struggled to find a fitting AWPer, initially deciding against Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen — reportedly because of the Finn's ties to a VAC-banned account — before selecting ALTERNATE aTTaX's Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski. The majority of the lineup has been on the sidelines in the aftermath of the StarLadder Major, as NBK- was replaced by Richard "shox" Papillon in Vitality, Aleksib made way for Miikka "suNny" Kemppi in ENCE, while HellRaisers opted for a Russian-speaking lineup to...

Spurs vs Rockets, Triple Overtime!


Somehow, James Harden’s breakaway slam, put in after he waited for the guy mopping the floor to get out of the way, did not count after it worked its way around the rim and nearly back in again. At the time, however, the Rockets still led by 13 and had led the Spurs by as much as 22. One bucket did not seem likely to matter on Tuesday. The Rockets, however, never could slow the Spurs again, never could make the buckets with the lead to secure the win, falling 135-133 in double overtime. The Rockets and Spurs headed into the final minute of the second overtime tied. Harden put in a pair of free throws, giving him 50 points...
