Should Wingman Be Professional Game Mode?


When operation hydra was launched by valve for CS:GO, It bring lots of new maps, game modes and also achievements to be gained. Few things that gained the eyes of csgo players was games modes like Wingman and Flying Scoutsman which was apart of War Games but moastly wingman as it was like a short version of competitive matchmaking. Let me explain how it impacted the community in article below.

What is Wingman ?


Wingman is an event game mode added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in Operation Hydra, as a part of the May 23, 2017 update, as one of the three Hydra Events, alongside War Games and Weapons Expert. After November 13, 2017, the game mode became permanent, along with the new match matching algorithm called "Trust Factor."

The Wingman game mode consists of competitive matches on maps with one bombsite, a best-of-16 game format, and a special Wingman skill group. The rules are similar to competitive, but the game mode takes place in "compact" maps. The round timer is 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Different Ranking System- A Good Idea?



After the end of operation hydra with a new update valve completely changes the ranking system earlier it was wingman skill group which ranges from tier rank 1 to rank 24 but afterwards they realised that wingman is not just a side mission/casual game mode as people were serious for short mode of the matchmaking and released the ranks similar to the matchmaking ranks and make it little more professional.

Everyone Is Playing Wingman?


Weather it be noobs like me or it be professional players like Stewie2k, ScreaM or Tarik etc. everyone has started to love this game mode and become serious about their ranks in this game mode. Youtubers love this game mode and also it's more player based and also a fact that rather than 4 toxic team mates now you just have to handle only one toxic team mate so it's a win for me to least.

It Was Their Before? 


During majors and premier tournaments earlier their was side mode HTC 2v2 in which several pros competed in 2v2 matchups similar to the wingman so it's not new here so maybe i think it should return back or maybe just a tournament for wingman. It seems as a good idea i guess.

100 Thieves Out Of Eleague Atlanta 2018 Major!!

100Thieves will not be attending the ELEAGUE Major due to encountering "immigration issues", the team has just announced on Twitter. ELEAGUE have yet to comment on the matter, although it is expected that 100 Thieves' slot will be allocated to the Main Qualifier, in which case it would produce nine teams as opposed to eight for the next stage. UPDATE: ELEAGUE have confirmed that 100 Thieves' slot will go to one of the three teams going 2-3 in the Swiss round, who will then play deciding matches to determine the ninth team advancing to the Major's group stage (New Legends stage). We are disappointed to share that due to immigration issues, the 100 Thieves CS:GO team will not be attending the upcoming Boston major. It goes without saying that this is devastating for the players and for us. We are truly sorry for them and their fans. — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) January 13, 2018 We worked incredibly hard with industry-leading immigration lawyers sin...

How Much Is CS:GO Worth To Valve ?

It's no secret that Valve gets good money out of CS:GO's micro transactions. I'm gonna count the average amount of money that Valve makes out of CS:GO. The game itself Based off to an information from Steam Spy there's 21,352,159 copies sold. (Source: http://steamspy.com/sale/ ) That's not all and if we go into calculations and If we multiply the amount of copies sold with CS:GO's price we get the result of $ 320,068,863(approx.). (Now That's Something) STEAM MARKET Steam has a fee called "Steam Transaction Fee" and it only applies to items sold in steam community market. The Fee is currently set at 10% for CS:GO. Based off to csgobackpack numbers total value of items is 211,713,935 $ and if people were to sell them at least once Valve would get 21,171,395 $. This calculation might have a big error percentage since we can't get the exact numbers of ALL the items sold so I'm gonna take example here so you get the idea how much ...

Post Optic India Debacle?

Did i took really long to write about this? I don't think so i didn't want to say anything regarding this whole statement cause i was waiting  for things to calm down and just be stable enough in the scene while anger in nations fans calms down.  In this particular article i just would like to talk about what happened to the team since the whole extermelands, 2018 incident and competitive ban on  Nikhil “forsaken” Kumawat. I would like to focus on the future and not like to talk about the whole incident as it's probably already done by many all over the world. Sabyasachi "antidote" Bose to 2ez Gaming. Since the whole Optic India team was released and everyone became a free agent it wasn't long enough before other indian/asians organisations took interests in the talented lineup which had done a lot more in small time frame while they had their own sort of biggest controversy ever in not only indian but the whole SEA scene to be honest. While th...
