Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team assaulted after tournament victory

At this year’s Electronic Sports World Cup, Reason Gaming’s all-female CS:GO team won the tournament’s French qualifier, beating out another team of female CS:GO’ers, Imaginary Gaming, subsequently earning them spot in the event’s main tournament.

However, the team received much more than what they had bargained for when members and associates of Imaginary Gaming – the defeated team – allegedly assaulted the women of Reason Gaming.

Crazy stuff, they couldn't handle loosing to some woman!

DesertFoxJr3464d ago

Haha, well the assailants were all female as well. Regardless, not acceptable in any form or fashion.

maximus19853464d ago

yes CRAZY how women couldnt handle losing to OTHER women...crazy stuff

FragMnTagM3464d ago

Apparently Hendrickson cannot read.

MRMagoo1233463d ago

Or spell losing correctly

joab7773464d ago (Edited 3464d ago )

At the end of the article he asks, do u think winning a CS:GO match warrants this kind of attack?

Why yes, yes I do. Wtf! Seriously of course not.

And their own manager said in a statement that they got off lightly, like they deserved it. This is weird all around.

MRMagoo1233463d ago

Maybe they where hoping for a cat fight or a pillow fight in panties, I mean its a room full of gamers lol. I have seen a lot of people online that seem to think every fight involving girls turns into a strip.

HammadTheBeast3464d ago

Ehhh....

At least read the first couple of sentences of the articles.

All-female Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team assaulted after tournament victory by other females.

Their fixed the title.

-Foxtrot3464d ago (Edited 3464d ago )

Despite true it's not going to matter, the media will hear what they want to hear

Now to wait for someone to "link" the attack to GamerGate ¬¬

Blacktric3464d ago

"Kotaku Exclusive: The attackers that lost the match were all #GamerGate supporters with internalized muh-soggy-knee. More at 11..."

Written by Patricia Hernandez of course.

CocoWolfie3464d ago

"only bumps and bruises" too :) but still i was worried, silly title >.<

TekoIie3464d ago (Edited 3464d ago )

A far better title would be this:

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team assaulted after tournament victory"

coolbeans3464d ago

I appreciate both suggestions and I decided to go with this one atm.

-Cancels out the whole inflated gender part

-The description below gives the female team v. female team info already

-I'm not a particular fan of long titles when unnecessary

Agree/Disagree? Let me know if you think that was enough tweaking.

joab7773464d ago

It's better, especially in this climate, to forget a good title, and layer simply need to update it b/c so few ppl actually read them. Though in this case, it was still kinda vague.

*sigh* What a terrible, misleading title.

Spotie3464d ago

Sadly, the site doesn't care. Clickbait is nothing, just a part of the business.

Which is a really crappy practice.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai210d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits210d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf210d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits210d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws210d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf210d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos210d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils210d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno210d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

Number1TailzFan409d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard1407d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
