COVID-19 & eSports: CS Global Offensive Sets a New All-Time High Record for Average Number of Players 2

Posted on April 17, 2020 by Johannes Turunen

Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has set a new record for the average number of players.

When the game was changed to a free free-to-play model in November 2018, player numbers started to quickly rise. But the reason for the new record also coincided with the new Shattered Web update released last November and was a great success indeed.

CS:GO as a sport

CS:GO, also known as Counter-Strike Global Offensive, is a very popular multiplayer first-person shooter game, where eSports professionals and recreational players alike compete all over the world. It was first released in 2012. CS: GO has proven to be an exceptional game in the world of e-sports alongside games like League of Legends and Dota 2, whose numbers only increase as the game gets older and becomes more retro. In terms of e-sports, the number of tournaments continues to grow and more teams join to compete for big prize money. 

Here’s a quote from a professional CS:GO player about how he turned pro:

“I was already playing video games a lot in middle school. I basically missed my studies and turned into a pro when I got the chance to play full-time. Now I play for ENCE eSports public. I get a monthly salary that is made possible by our sponsors. Tournament winnings are subject to a commission, so it’s a win-win for all.

New versus Old Gaming Sites: What’s Better? 1

Posted on January 16, 2020 by Bjorn Thorson

Finding a reliable betting site was a real problem for many gamblers not so long ago. But with the recent strings of new gambling sites, a new issue has arisen. Where should people spend their money: new or old gaming sites?

Game Variety

Gone are the days when the only place you could find a good slot was at a casino launched before 2015. These days, many new gambling sites come loaded with slots, blackjack and poker games from the most respected software providers. 

Precisely, you can find hundreds of games from these providers no matter which new casino you visit:

  • Netent
  • Microgaming
  • Play’n GO
  • Pragmatic Play
  • Evolution Gaming
  • Playtech
  • NYX Interactive
  • Betsoft

What’s more, you can find a collection of unique games from upcoming developers. That’s because the new crop of gambling sites is taking more risks and looking for games beyond the prominent brand-name software providers.

The takeaway: you can find the best casino games at both old and new platforms. However, more modern casinos feature games from a more extensive range of developers- which gives you more choices.

Web Interface and Features

Nearly every casino entering the market for the first time features a professionally designed website. Also, they feature animations, vibrant colour schemes and cheeky mascots to give players a casual feel.

      Archie Griffin

      The Sports Then and Now Vintage Athlete of the Month is the only football player ever to capture college football’s top individual award twice.

      As a star running back for the Ohio State Buckeyes, Archie Griffin claimed the Heisman Trophy during his junior season in 1974 and then was able to repeat the honor the following season.

      Griffin joined the Buckeyes for the 1972 season, which happened to be the first in which freshmen were eligible to play varsity football, and made an immediate impact. After fumbling in his only carry of his first game, Griffin more than made up for it in his second game by rushing for 237 yards against North Carolina. By the end of the season, Griffin had rushed for 867 yards.
