Nadeshot’s organizations has confirmed its departure from the Counter-Strike scene after just a little more than a year with their current squad. Despite the promise, they never really lived up the expectations of a “championship-calier roster”, and once you factor in their disastrous first attempt at entering CS:GO, you wouldn’t exactly blame them for staying away from the game for the foreseeable future. It’s not just the performance of the ex-Renegades but the state of NA CS as a whole that may prove to be the real deterrent.The opening gambitThe

Growth, Talent, and TacticalFor most of us, TSM vs. Team Liquid was the first time we saw Edward “Tactical” Ra in action. Before the game, Tactical’s rise to the starting lineup seemed like just another bad omen for a struggling Team Liquid lineup. With Broxah’s visa coming through, the entire starting roster had finally reunited only to be torn apart by a random case of laryngitis that sidelined Doublelift. Far from a bad omen, Tactical’s debut was a spectacular stroke of luck. With Tactical, the team picked up two dominant

With the game industry booming, more entrepreneurs are evaluating where to base their new startup or open a new office for their existing company. The U.S. government’s block on H1-B and L-1 visas will encourage American game startups to add an office abroad much sooner than they otherwise would have. But where? This spring, I surveyed a number of gaming-focused VCs about which cities are the best hubs for game studios targeting the Western games market. Several locales stood out as heavily recommended — which I’ve shared below — but

Check out a new trailer for Assassin's Creed Valhalla from the May 7, 2020 Inside Xbox livestream. At today’s Inside Xbox event, Ubisoft and Microsoft teamed up to show players a new trailer for the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It was described as a gameplay trailer but that’s a huge stretch. At best it was a showcase for in-game cinematics but calling it gameplay might be a bit much. [embedded content] That trailer doesn't really sell the moment-to-moment gameplay as much as I was hoping, but we did get
