Flash To Replace Tyloo Gaming In ELEAGUE Major 2018

TyLoo have confirmed to ELEAGUE and Valve that they will not attend the next Major, with a replacement expected to come from the Asia Minor, HLTV.org has learned.

The Chinese team have cited visa issues as the reason to skip the event, which would be their first-ever Major, with Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand having seen his application rejected by the US embassy.
Former TyLoo coach Luis "peacemaker" Tadeu could fill in as a substitute, but, according to a report from independent journalist Jarek "DeKay" Lewis, talks between the Brazilian and the Chinese organisation broke down, forcing the team to withdraw from the tournament.


With only ten days remaining before the start of the Major qualifier, which has been renamed to "New Challengers Stage", ELEAGUE is actively working to secure a replacement from the Asia Minor, HLTV.org has learned, with the final team list due to be released next week along with the initial match-ups. Flash, who came in third place, would be the most obvious choice, followed by fourth-placed side MVP PK. Earlier on Tuesday, Flash member Andrew "kaze" Khong seemingly suggested that he had applied for a US visa in a tweet that has since been deleted.

But later reports arrived that Flash is going forward with their decision and they did get their Visas and will be replacing Tyloo in Boston 2018 Major.

Flash Gaming duo KunHua "LOVEYY" Bai and Andrew "kaze" Khong have had their visa applications approved by the US government, allowing them to play at the ELEAGUE Major, HLTV.org has learned. This means that the five players who played for Flash at the Asia Minor are now eligible to compete at the Major, with YuLun "fancy1" Cai, YuanZhang "AttackeR" Sheng and QiFang "Karsa" Su all having ten-year visa permits from their time with TyLoo.

HLTV.org understands that KunHua "LOVEYY" Bai and Andrew "kaze" Khong have been informed that their passports will be ready in the coming days, most likely early next week, just in time for the ELEAGUE Major, which kicks off on January 12. Earlier on Tuesday, both players hinted on Twitter that they had applied for US visas, but the tweets were deleted soon after being posted.


Flash are currently in talks with Valve about the possibility of having their stickers featured in the game, just like any other team at the Major. However, it is unlikely that this will be a necessary condition for the Chinese side to accept replacing TyLoo, who have informed ELEAGUE and Valve that they will not attend the event, citing "visa issues."

Currently ranked 75th in the world, Flash finished third at the Asia Minor following defeats to Renegades and TyLoo in the playoffs. Last month, the team benched LOVEYY and Karsa, but they will still have to attend the event with these two players due to the roster lock rule.

I AM REALLY VERY SAD FOR TYLOO GAMING THEIR FIRST OPPURTUNITY JUST GONE.

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...
