FURIA extend winning streak over EG to lock IEM New York grand final spot

FURIA now hold a streak of four series and eight map wins in a row over the Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz-led squad, which dates back to last month's ESL Pro League Season 12, the tournament where the Brazilians first broke the winless curse up against the core of Evil Geniuses. With the victory, Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan & co. have come out on top of the difficult side of the IEM New York bracket, which also featured Liquid, and await their opponent in Sunday's best-of-five grand final, where they will face the

FaZe through to IEM New York final to set up rematch with OG

FaZe are through to Sunday's grand final of IEM New York's European division after seeing off Vitality in the semi-final stage. The international team carried their imperious form from Friday's group stage victory over BIG as they looked a real cut above Vitality, who were on the back foot for the majority of this two-map series. It was yet another dominant performance from Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač's side, who have looked dominant in every match they have played in this tournament, except the 0-2 loss to OG — the team they

Heroic take out fnatic for playoff spot at ESL One Cologne

Things didn't go very well for fnatic early on when they took on Heroic on the Danes' pick, Vertigo, with Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's men looking in control of the opening half as Terrorists. The Swedish squad didn't let it get out of hand, opting for an early double-AWP setup to get on the board and soon coming on nearly equal footing, but in the end Heroic still came out ahead 9-6 after breaking their opponents' economy late. The Danish team's success continued with a second pistol round win, and soon

Chaos edge out 100 Thieves to move on to playoffs at ESL One Cologne NA

Chaos picked Nuke to kick off the series successfully and put 100 Thieves on the back foot, as the Australians struggled to make a mark early on the CT side after losing the second round to a forcebuy, courtesy of doubles from Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach and Jonathan "⁠Jonji⁠" Carey. The half could have been disastrous for 100T had it not been for Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai saving a 1v3 clutch attempt from Nathan "⁠leaf⁠" Orf, which helped the favorites salvage their chances, with Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad adding two big multikills to

Knee-Deep in the Ports: Ranking the Best (and Worst) Versions of Doom

As of 2008, Tetris holds the achievement of the most ported video game in history. Which makes sense. Virtually any electronic device can run Tetris. That's the beauty of its design: difficult to master, but arguably the most accessible controls and objectives ever.  Doom, however, is hot on Tetris's heels. You can play Doom on virtually any personal computing operating system, most consoles, and lots of handhelds. You can even run the game on a piano. Can you play Tetris on a piano? That's what I thought. (Though you'll probably
