In today’s episode: the truth about the esports awards, Valve’s new rules, and rumors of s1mple moving to Team Falcons.

Let’s start with the latest scandal involving CSGO Empire. This site is in the spotlight again after hosting a contest with a prize of 9-11 coins, which coincides with the tragic events of September 11. The post was quickly deleted, and the person responsible was reportedly fired, but the damage to the site’s reputation remains.

Now for some good news: VACnet is still doing its job, banning 471 players recently. However, it’s unclear whether they were actual cheaters or just users of auto-clickers. The bigger issue remains the resale of accounts, allowing banned cheaters to continue their activities on new profiles.

Faceit isn’t without its own problems. Perfecto shared his frustration about being paired with weak teammates, stating that the skill level on the platform isn’t as high as many expect, especially for those who pay for premium access, hoping for better matchmaking.

ENCE is also struggling. Their win rate over the last three months is just 27.8%. Concerns are growing that Gla1ve, one of their key players, might retire soon.

As for Team Falcons, insiders report that some players are under psychological pressure due to upcoming roster changes. Adding to the tension, rumors suggest that Falcons are not only interested in Niko but also in s1mple. The big question is whether such strong personalities can coexist in the same team.

Journalist Richard Lewis criticized the esports awards, questioning the decision to name Valorant as “Esports Game of the Year.” He argued that CS deserves more recognition due to its constant tournaments, while Valorant had far fewer events. Lewis also believes Valve should’ve been named “Publisher of the Year” for their work with CS2 and Dota 2.

In closing, Starladder is making a comeback with a tournament scheduled for September 2025, featuring a $500,000 prize pool. What’s exciting is that four teams from open qualifiers will have a shot, giving underdogs a rare opportunity to compete on a big stage.

Valve also introduced stricter rules for player autographs. Now, signatures must look like real autographs, be drawn in no more than 10 seconds, and be verified in person. Some see this as an unnecessary measure.

Finally, let’s look at the ESL Pro League group stage results: M80, Imperial, Vitality, and Liquid have advanced directly to the playoffs, while BIG and Virtus.Pro battled through the lower bracket. FURIA and Complexity made it via the last chance qualifier. The quarterfinals already await top teams like Na’Vi and G2.
