ESL has announced that Mike "⁠shroud⁠" Grzesiek has been granted co-streaming privileges for the semi-finals and grand final of IEM Cologne, the possibility of which the former professional player first teased on Thursday.

World No. 1 Gambit exited IEM Cologne on Friday following a 2-1 defeat to FaZe in the first round of the single-elimination playoffs. The CIS side, who have been at the top of the world rankings for over two months, were left to rue a series of crucial errors that handed the initiative to their opponents, who used their superior LAN experience to stay out of harm's way and set up a semi-final clash with Natus Vincere on Saturday. FaZe exhibited the necessary mental strength to respond to setbacks, including

Natus Vincere have assured themselves of a playoff spot at IEM Cologne after defeating Vitality in three maps in Group B's upper bracket semi-finals. The CIS giants stuttered, then moved into high gear, brushing aside their opponents on Nuke and Mirage with impressive attacking displays after making a false start on Overpass. This was yet another chapter in the continued battle between Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev vs. Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut, but Saturday's result was a product of NAVI's collective performance, rather than individual brilliance from their Ukrainian star, who at times

[embedded content] When it comes to streaming, it wasn’t long ago that it was pretty much a free reign to anyone that wanted to use copyright music on their channels. There wasn’t much pushback over something like Spotify playing in the background to help give some kind of a chill or mood tone for viewers to listen in on. While most channels were not necessarily using the music as the main focal point to their stream, it was enough to sway some labels to go on the offense to streaming

Liquid are through to the upper bracket semi-finals of cs_summit 8 following a 2-1 series win against EXTREMUM, a match in which the North American roster initially looked like a revitalized side from their first two showings against Extra Salt and Bad News Bears, but failed to close out a dominant lead on Mirage and needed a Vertigo decider to edge out the victory. "Calling on this team has been a bit of a test," Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo stated in an interview after the match. The Brazilian also said that
