It's not uncommon that pro players compete on Faceit to stay in shape during the summer break. But even for a professional a 49 games winning streak is something special! Fnatic's Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson has achieved this insane series of successful games in a row and is only one game away from getting the 50th win. To be fair, you have to mention that he did not play in FPL, Faceit's Pro League, but in the Faceit equivalent to the regular CS:GO matchmaking. Still a respectable performance by him and his team mates. You can get to his Faceit profile over here. Photo... Partially blind/deaf gamer “Lo0p” is now a part of Team EnVyUs
It was a little dream story what happened to partially blind and deaf CS:GO player Lo0p, who got kicked from an ESEA match due to his clipped speech and got amazing support by the whole community afterwards. Now, another dream has come true for the 17-year-old as he got contracted by pro team EnVyUs to become an official streamer for the organization. Lo0p got a huge increase in viewership after his story went viral. If you have missed what happened, go watch our video about him! There hasn't been an official announcement yet but yes I am now under contract... Guy loses 1v1 – Gets a CS:GO Tattoo on his butt
From time to time you just have to show your friends who is the boss in a straight up CS:GO 1v1. Losing such a match is unfortunate, but it's becoming a nightmare when you have agreed that the loser will have to get a tattoo! This happened to reddit user "deepfriedducks" who lost to his friend and now has a stylish (kinda!?) CS:GO related tattoo on his butt. Source: Reddit post Most expensive CS:GO Inventory with skins worth $200,000 got banned
Imagine you lose your whole CS:GO inventory from one day to another. That's bad, right? But it's even worse when your inventory is worth almost $200,000! That happened to a steam user called "Husky" (currently named "gucci"), who is now trade banned by Steam. This means, that he is not able to trade or sell any of his valuable skins, for example some of his roughly 500 knife skins. At the moment it is unknown if the ban will be lifted anytime soon, but since he is banned for almost a month now, it is not unlikely that the decision... 5 Tips by a Global Elite player on how to become better in CS:GO
If you are stuck in Gold Nova, Master Guardian or Legendary Eagle ranks, there is a reason for that for sure. Acknowledging this fact is the first step towards becoming a better player and ultimately reaching the Global Elite status. In this article, we have gathered five important tips by a Global Elite player on how you can reach the next level of your gameplay. 1.) Don’t blame your mates, it will hinder you from getting better We all know this situation. Seconds before we died, someone from our team blocked us or didn’t threw the smoke correctly.

"Is this snax?" is a - not enitrely meant to be serious - question asked by many fans in the comments of Jarosław "pashaBiceps" Jarząbkowski's latest photo on Facebook. The 29 year old fan favorite is obviously enjoying his vacation during August, in which we will almost see no tournaments with the best teams participating. As the photo shows, good food seems to be one of the things "Papa Biceps" spends his time on when not practicing Counter-Strike with his team Virtus.pro. FaZe Clan’s NiKo shows his party skills on the dancefloor
FaZe Clan's star player Nikola "NiKo" Kovač is not only a king on the server, but also on the dancefloor. An Instagram video shows the 20-year-old during a party dancing with an unknown woman to Luis Fonsi's smash hit "Despacito". If NiKo can transfer his party skills to Counter-Strike, FaZe fans could have a bright future ahead. Don't even remember who recorded this instagram story ☺ 👍 — NiKo (@fazeniko) 5. August 2017 New record: More than 275.000 players banned by VAC and Overwatch
You can rightfully complain that Valves Anti Cheat System VAC needs to be improved, but you can't blame the company behind CS:GO for not fighting cheaters in one of their most popular games. Last month, in July 2017, 147.854 cheaters got permanently banned by VAC, according to the statistics of steamdb.info. But not only VAC is doing it's job. "Overwatch", in which the community can review and judge other players who got reported for cheating, banned 131.225 players in July 2017 which marks a new all time record for bans in a single month. 118 banned cheaters in only 52 matches!
It's almost unbelievable what reddit user "caracholo" shows us in the statistics of his last 52 matchmaking games before he got the "Prime" status. In these 52 matches, 118 players got banned by VAC afterwards! This means that you have roughly two cheaters per match and these are only the numbers of those who got caught by VAC. Although it is to be noted that these numbers only apply to non-Prime matchmaking. To play Prime matchmaking you need to authenticate your steam account by adding your telephone number, which you can only do once. This makes it way harder for cheaters...
