FaZe star Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač is on the brink of completing a transfer to G2, HLTV.org has learned. It appears increasingly likely that the Bosnian will feature for his new team in the BLAST Premier Fall Series as everything points to an agreement being close at hand. Sources have told HLTV.org that FaZe are already looking at potential candidates to replace NiKo if needed as they too will compete in the BLAST tournament, with their first match scheduled for October 29. HLTV.org and 1pv.fr first reported on G2's interest in

Most of the chatter about the brotherly union in the Kovač family revolves around how one would realign the G2 squad to make space for one of the best individual riflers – however, trying to game out the next chapter for FaZe Clan is arguably an even more exciting proposition…FaZe’s era that never wasIt has to be said that FaZe Clan were this close to breaking CS:GO at one point. A team of five superstars with limited tactical cohesion was never supposed to work and, indeed, never worked before in

Though the the Brazilians and the Poles peaked at very different times, the two legendary cores with a historic fall from grace have similar stories to tell. It’s a path riddled with upvoted match threads about upset losses, Twitter dramas, wasted invite slots and outstaying your welcome. It seems there’s still a sting in the tale of the MIBR saga as FalleN shocked the world by stepping down – but whether there’s a pathway back to the top is a very different question at this point.Dumpster fireLuís Mira wasn’t kidding

It’s safe to say not even the biggest Heroic fan would have predicted them to win ESL One Cologne’s European bracket, and their run has to be considered one of the greatest upsets in modern Counter-Strike history. How does it stack up against the era-defining surprises of the past?

Alas, poor Charles Entertainment Cheese. Better known to his friends (as well as beleaguered parents and disaffected teens who have to go somewhere to play House of the Dead and Dance Dance Revolution now that regular arcades are so hard to come by) as Chuck E. Cheese, the animatronic, pizza-slinging rat and his crew of similarly horrifying buddies have found themselves in a bit of financial hot water thanks to the COVID-19 quarantine. After 43 years of business, the arcade-restaurant where "kids can be kids" has filed for bankruptcy according

The Overwatch League is at its halfway point and all 20 teams are gearing up to compete in a pair of tournaments with $225,000 on the line. There is no denying that the Overwatch League is in a strange place right now, much like every other esport in the world. The continuing COVID-19 pandemic completely shook up Blizzard's plans for Season 3, which was supposed to see teams settle into their regional divisions, complete with road trips. But the publisher is rolling with these setbacks as best they can and

There's still no official word on the fate of System Shock 3 development as different sectors of Otherside move on to new projects. It’s been a little bit since we heard rumbles that System Shock 3’s development was in serious trouble. Rumor from some of the developers were that the project had been caught up in a bout of layoffs, including the game’s design director. While we wait for any official word on the fate of System Shock 3 from Otherside themselves, it seems that one sector of the developer
