Movistar Riders surprise Complexity, Sinners and Astralis go 3-0 in Group B

Endpoint are out of contention for playoffs, as they will not be able to earn enough points to qualify for the Major due to their 20% points reduction for using a stand-in, having required at least a top-eight finish to have a chance. Sinners continue to impress in Group B with a win over Endpoint on Ancient, putting them 3-0 in the group and edging them one step closer to the playoffs where they could potentially collect enough RMR points to advance into the Major. Meanwhile, in one of the

Heroic, Astralis tally victories in Group B openers; Sinners defeat Complexity

Two of the three Group B teams expected to tally three points in their IEM Fall opening matches did so, as Heroic and Astralis claimed solvent victories, but Complexity came out on the wrong end of a close map against Sinners. Heroic’s victory was played in a strange match on Dust 2 against Movistar Riders, a map neither of the teams play regularly, while Astralis beat an Endpoint playing with Sabit "⁠mirbit⁠" Coktasar standing in for Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas, who wasn’t able to secure a visa in time to attend

Mirbit to stand in for Endpoint in IEM Fall Europe

Endpoint has found a last-minute substitute in the form of German CS:GO player Sabit “⁠mirbit⁠” Coktasar to replace Mohammad “⁠BOROS⁠” Malhas at IEM Fall Europe. BOROS, who can’t attend the LAN tournament in Stockholm, Sweden due to visa issues, was going to be initially substituted by the newly appointed coach Allan Hender, who has no competitive background whatsoever. Endpoint, however, added mirbit to their roster after ESL sent an email last night to all teams participating in this RMR, allowing them to list a substitute that can be used during the event. Previously, the tournament

Endpoint set to use mirbit at IEM Fall

Endpoint have announced on Wednesday that German player Sabit "⁠mirbit⁠" Coktasar will be standing-in for the the team during IEM Fall in loan deal from Nordavind. The British side will still suffer a 20% deduction to any points they earn at the Regional Major Ranking tournament but will have much better odds at placing highly, as they won't need to use their coach, Allan "⁠Allan⁠" Hender. The loan deal comes after the announcement on Tuesday that Endpoint member Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas would be unable to travel with the team to

Endpoint BOROS to miss IEM Fall Europe due to visa issues

Endpoint’s young star Mohammad “⁠BOROS⁠” Malhas won’t attend IEM Fall Europe, the last Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament ahead of the PGL Major Stockholm, since his visa to enter Stockholm, Sweden hasn’t been processed, the organization announced today. With BOROS out of the tournament, the British-International team have no other alternative than using their new coach Allan Hender as their fifth player for IEM Fall Europe, which will kick off tomorrow. Allan creates CS:GO content on his YouTube channel and worked as an analyst for tournaments before being called to coach Endpoint

BOROS to miss IEM Fall due to visa issues

Endpoint have announced that 17-year old Mohammad "⁠BOROS⁠" Malhas will not attend the LAN event due to the organization being unable to acquire the visa in the required time frame. "Due to the tight timescales between the closed qualifier and the event, along with other factors, and despite continuous discussions with the Swedish Embassy and authorities, we have not been able to get a visa processed," the British organization announced on Twitter. IEM Fall will be Allan's first LAN event with the team (photo: Flashpoint) In their statement, Endpoint stressed

What ESL Pro League taught us about fnatic’s new roster

fnatic's performance might have come as a surprise to many, as the newly formed roster was not expected to perform at this level from day one. This adventure at EPL gave us an insight into a new, yet familiar fnatic — for better or worse. After a disappointing 2020 and 2021, fnatic decided the best course of action to maintain a competitive CS:GO roster was to partially move away from their Swedish identity and embrace an international roster, something becoming increasingly common amongst teams that had fielded single-language rosters such

The best Sten loadout in Call of Duty: Vanguard

In a war that spanned the globe, it’s no surprise that the guns throughout World War II came from all over the place. And because of this, they featured many different designs and unique ways to take down foes. In Call of Duty: Vanguard’s WWII setting, many of the classic weapons from the past make a return, including the MP-40, STG44, BAR, and one of the most unique-looking guns from that time period, the Sten submachine gun. The Sten is a blowback-operated submachine gun that was used by British special
