Hunt: Showdown is one of the most unique first-person shooters on the market. It tasks players to go into a monster-filled 1870s bayou with nothing but break-action shotguns, lever-action rifles, and many other historical weapons . It plays unlike nearly any other competitive shooter, as it lacks fully automatic weapons and prioritizes patience and accuracy when fir

One of these is its CT-sided nature, which is likely what Nuke is most known for. While it was always a popular map despite this reputation, the casual and professional scene responded very positively to the changes. While many would argue it remains largely CT-sided, strong teams, structured or not, have options to be effective on the T-side creating a nice balance. Nuke remains in the Top 3 to 4 most-played maps in both casual and competitive pl

As a result, DotA 2 is overwhelming for newcomers. Playing the game is like learning a new language. Nothing really makes sense, and the terms and strategies don't really carry over from any other game (except other MOBAs). Like Counter-Strike , this game has a large pre-established player base that will probably be toxic to newcomers from the get

A downside of purchasing a Scout, though, is that there is a high skill requirement when it comes to using the weapon effectively. However, even if they have never sniped before, a player can still prove themselves useful with this weapon by shooting enemies in non-vital parts of the body or just by tagging them for their teammate to see. If players do choose to utilize this weapon, it is also advised that they seek high ground on the map, as this will allow them to scope out enemies from a distance and be protected by the elevat

With many other massively popular streamers such as xQc and Trainwreckstv receiving similar deals, many claim that this kind of unchecked promotion of gambling services from people who are receiving huge sponsorship deals can be harmful to audiences, while also questioning the credibility of the showcased win rates of the gambling sites on stream. This kind of gambling was present on Twitch for several years, being a lingering controversy that was only recently addressed thanks to what is likely Twitch's most high-profile gambling controversy to d

As the newest map to be introduced into the active pool, Anubis has had some controversy upon its inclusion, to say the least. Designed by Roald, jakuza, and jd40, the map was first added to the game on March 31, 2020, to the Scrimmage mode before eventually being moved to Competitive 10 days later. This is notable as it was only the second map to be added to Competitive via this method as before this Cache was the only one to make it. Given this fact, there seemed to be a lot of positive feedback for the map since Cache is a very well-loved

This initial habit of breaking open these crates is incredibly useful, as doing so will often ensure that a team can wipe out any enemies in the surrounding area, which will award them money and give them a good start to the round. But it's important for players to remember the differences between the red supply crates that they see, as there are two kinds. The smaller ones can be opened without weapons (with fists), and the other, larger ones must be opened with melee weapons or guns, so it's important to look for the smaller crates first. Doing this will give a team a quick advantage and will definitely send them on their way to winning the ma

As Danger Zone games take place on large maps with a lot of open space , it makes sense that an effective weapon in this environment would be a Scout. These weapons can be bought later on in the game for $3750, and as they are a one-hit kill to the head and a two-shot kill to the body, it is highly advisable for players to purchase

On its launch in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege had 20 unlockable operators for players to choose from, and a small pool of maps. Now, seven years later, the SLG Game News sports 63 playable operators and 21 maps. Rainbow Six Siege was already difficult for new players thanks to its large maps, destructibility, and layered strategy that requires good team play and communication. Now, with 63 operators and a massive player base, new players are often completely overwhel

With his Twitch career falling to the wayside as a result, it is estimated that ItsSliker stole close to $200,000 from people within the Twitch community, sparking a huge flurry of debates surrounding the state of Twitch gambling and how it is ruining the platform. In the wake of these revelations, extremely influential streamers such as Pokimane took to Twitter to demand that Twitch ban gambling on the platform, with her tweet receiving over 300,000 li

Non-game related gambling remained rampant on the Twitch service despite the aforementioned controversy, with gambling content quickly rising to be one of the most popular topics on Twitch in recent years. With the rise of cryptocurrency coming hand-in-hand with increased attention on gambling on the Twitch platform, the marriage of the two controversial subjects seemed like an inevitability to many view
