W Radio - RSS de [ W Fin de Semana ]Are Pistols OP?Pistols have remained a point of contention in CS:GO for some time now, with everyone from players and analysts to even your average Joe on reddit weighing in to impart their views. Many struggle to reconcile the handguns’ cheap costs with their ability to quickly dispatch players holding far more expensive investments. Others despise the seemingly random and spammable nature of the weapons, citing a lack of skill in their use.

W Radio - RSS de [ W Fin de Semana ]TLDW July 24thIf you decided to take part in this Major’s Pick‘Em challenge, I can only feel sorry for you. The PGL Major has proven to be the most unpredictable in CS:GO’s history, with favourites dropping at every stage. With the likes of G2, Cloud9 and NaVi falling in the group stage, the Major looked ripe for an Astralis or SK final, only to find them matched in the quarterfinals. The playoffs continued the trend, with no one predicting a Gambit-Immortals finale. Even then, Immortals looked to subvert expectations, overwhelming Gambit 16-4 on Cobblestone. In the end, Gambit’s strate...

W Radio - RSS de [ W Fin de Semana ]TLDW July 17thStuck between ESL One Cologne and the PGL Krakow Major, this was never going to make for the most action-packed week of CS. In fact, it’s largely proven an affair of embarrassment, with a number of teams producing some shockingly poor performances at Dreamhack Valencia. Fortunately, all this confusion has given NiP the opportunity to flex their new muscles and take the prize. Second place went to underdogs, Red Reserve, who took part in the most memorable matches of the tournament. Let’s look back at the key moments you might have missed.

ESL One Cologne returned this week and as always it delivered incredible action, but this time only $250,000 was on the line instead of $1m and the title of world champions. Still, even without the Major title, this was one hell of a tournament, and one that showed how much things have changed in the last month. The Astralis era is on the rocks and the Brazilians are back on top. Outside Cologne, teams switched orgs, tournaments announced invites and Valve brought out its biggest banhammer yet.

But with the LAN finals just over a month away, and still three weeks of competition left, the ESL Pro League Finals have thrown a spanner in the works, as all the top teams will be out in Dallas next week. This means that this week will be a super week in ECS, with double the amount of games. From today through until Sunday there will be multiple series each day, and some massively important matches are going to take...

There is no big LAN, there is no major online one off and with the ESL Pro League group stage done and dusted all that leaves us with is ECS, which has somewhat been flying under the radar for a while. In Europe we have some familiar faces at the top of the standings with G2, Mouz and Astralis at the top, although surprisingly NiP is sitting just behind them in fourth. GODSENT and...

With events in Australia and France, it was pretty much round-the-clock action and a lot of it was pretty hype. IEM Sydney saw the really big names battle it out, while DreamHack Tours gave some of the teams still finding their footing a chance to get some LAN experience. Even outside the LAN events there was a lot going on. More big orgs signed academy teams, roster changes hit a relatively new team, and there’s a new CS:GO...

On one side of the world we have the Intel Extreme Masters Sydney event where the likes of Astralis, FaZe and SK are competing for a share of $200,000. Then all the way back in Europe we have DreamHack Tours, which has a $100,000 prize pool and some more big names such as NaVi, G2 and Mouz. With big name teams split across the two events picking which one to watch is not an easy choice. Fortunately time...

W Radio - RSS de [ W Fin de Semana ]Energy Drink GuideIf you want peak performance in CS:GO, then it’s important to think about what you’re putting into your body as well as your PC case. There are lots of ways to maintain sharpness, but make sure you’re consuming things in sensible moderation and that you’re taking time away from the screen as well. Not every player needs a gym regime like pashaBiceps, but fresh air and movement can have just as positive an effect on your AWP flicks as another slug of soda. As in so many things, balance is the key.
