After a fierce final game, the Danes in Toxic, with Michael “Friis” Jørgensen in the frontline, crowned themselves champions of Philips OneBlade Cup as they overcame the Swedes in Katjakaj&bentebent with 16-9 on Inferno, 11-16 on Overpass, and 16-14 on Cobblestone.

After five intensive qualifying weeks, the search for the best amateur team in the Nordics has finally come to an end with Denmark bringing home the victory. The road to the final commenced with a victory over Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg and his gucciTiger in the quarterfinals. In the meantime, the Swedes in katjakaj&bentebent triumphed past their countrymen in Loathe. Throughout the last game on Saturday, Dylan "DH" Hamrini's team proved superior after a win against deathrow. Sunday afternoon fired off with the second semifinal where TOXIC conquered Maskinisterna after three maps.

Despite being down 7-8 at halftime, they fought viciously in order to regain control. Unfortunately for the Swedish side, Toxic proved superior on Cobblestone and precipitated past the Swedes who fell short on the 30th round.<br />  <br />  <hr><div class="indent"><b>Prize distribution</b><br />  <small>1.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26046/toxic"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/84.svg" alt="TOXIC"><b>TOXIC</b></a></span> —  32 000 SEK <small>(≈4000 USD)</small><br />  <small>2.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26195/katjakajbentebent"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="Katjakaj&bentebent"><b>Katjakaj&bentebent</b></a></span> — 18 000 SEK <small>(≈2000 USD)</small><br />  <small>3-4.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/25385/deathrow"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="deathrow"><b>deathrow</b></a></span> — 12 000 SEK <small>(≈1500 USD)</small><br />  <small>3-4.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/25677/maskinisterna"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="Maskinisterna"><b>Maskinisterna</b></a></span> — 12 000 SEK <small>(≈1500 USD)</small><br />  <small>5-8.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/21111/skitlite"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/21111.png" alt="SkitLite"><b>SkitLite</b></a></span> — 6 500 SEK <small>(≈800 USD)</small><br />  <small>5-8.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/25828/loathe"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="Loathe"><b>Loathe</b></a></span> — 6 500 SEK <small>(≈800 USD)</small><br />  <small>5-8.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26066/skrr-pop-pop-boom"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="skrr pop pop boom"><b>skrr pop pop boom</b></a></span> — 6 500 SEK <small>(≈800 USD)</small><br />  <small>5-8.</small> <span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26117/guccitiger"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" alt="gucciTiger"><b>gucciTiger</b></a></span> — 6 500 SEK <small>(≈800 USD)</small></div><hr><a href="https://fragbite.com/cs/event/4137/philips-oneblade-cup-2017/main-finals/brackets" target="_blank">Results and entire playoff-bracket</a><br />  <small>Fragbite</small></div>

														<div class="articlePageHeadline"><h2>The loss bonus system</h2></div>
														<div class="articlePageContent">Without going deep into the money system and how it works, everyone should know there is a difference in round reward depending on the outcome of not only the individual round but also rounds prior. The reward for winning a round is static whereas the loss reward depends on how many consecutive rounds a team has lost. It is a fundamental part of CS and should be looked at with gentle care because of that.<br />  <br />  However, looking at how the viability of certain types of weapons have developed over the years, it is safe to say that we need adjustments to further improve the playing and viewing experience in line with that. There is an issue now where SMGs, especially the UMP, are so powerful, that snowballing after winning the pistol round is easier and further making it harder for the opposing team to quickly get back into the game economy wise. <br />  <br />  A counterargument to that is the viability of the pistols but let's not get stuck on that, for now. Later on in the match, in a potential close scenario, it can be devastating to encounter a hard reset and certain key rounds can decide the whole match. I'm personally a big fan of the tactical aspects that it brings, but a slight adjustment could make a match more fun to watch (and play).<br />  <br />  The current system gives the losing team 1400, 1900, 2400, 2900 and 3400 for their consecutive round losses. My suggestion is to remove the first step, 1400, and begin the loss bonus at 1900 and continue as usual. Important to know is that I do not want the max bonus to be increased.<br />  <div class="rich"><b>Old system</b> 1400 1900 2400 2900 3400<br />  <b>My system</b> 1900 2400 2900 3400</div>This would most definitely set a new tone for the early game. An example could be if the Terrorists win the pistol round, and in the second round use all their money, prioritizing nades on some players, having 2 AKs and 3 SMGs. They then win round 2 with 4 players surviving, thus keeping both AKs. The CT side goes for a full eco. We now have a whole new scenario where the CTs are at roughly 4300 in round 3.<br />  <br />  Now, they cant go for a full buy with a full set of nades and AWPs, but they can go for a similar buy to what the Terrorists have, with 1-2 M4s and a few SMGs with more focus towards nades, and with that get back in the game much faster if there is need to. They could upgrade their pistols for both round 2 and 3 for more pressure and still go for the heavy buy in round 4 if there is room for it as we see today. Depending on if this is the first or the second half, and how the first half went if so, there could be different tactical approaches with these two options.<br />  <br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/images/10782/t/58881.jpg" /><figcaption>Virtus.plow sure knows everything about snowballing.</figcaption></figure><br />  Reaching max loss bonus one round earlier can be crucial for many situations and many matches as well. As the old system gives you 3400 after 5 rounds, some might say it is a bit too late to give the team that is already so far behind the extra struggle of the economy in these situations. Without removing how the economy plays a big role in the tactical beauty of the game, it could make matches more entertaining to watch, and play, with slightly fewer eco rounds and a reduced risk (chance?) of snowball effects to somewhat of a considerable degree.</div>

														<div class="articlePageHeadline"><h2>Weapon balance and potential reworks</h2></div>
														<div class="articlePageContent">There are a few (a lot) issues with the current state of weapons. To start off, there's way too many of them. It's simply impossible to keep <b>34</b> guns relevant. Some of them need to be removed whereas others need reworking. What do even the Revolver, Negev and M249 do in the game right now? If some weapons are made more viable, non-relevant weapons can be removed. This will give a cleaner look for players and viewers, make it easier to follow the game and more focus can be put towards balancing the weapons that you decide should be relevant. <br />  <br />  This could also remove the extremely weird and unjustified idea of having a loadout with different choices of guns, something I've wanted for a long time. Let's take the M4A4 vs. M4A1-s as an example. I shouldn't have to take a guess on how the game will pan out before I even play it. Will this be a game with a lot of fast pushes and a lot of brawls where the M4A4 would be suitable, or will this be a slow game with long-range duels, where maybe the silenced version is favored? I want to be able to adjust while in the game, maybe even surprise with it in some rounds. <br />  <br />  I also want to be able to drop to my teammate whatever he prefers. I personally would rather get a UMP than a M4A1-s dropped for me, mostly due to the positions I hold when I play myself. It's ridiculous that I have to "suffer" due to my teammates' choices, something I can't affect at all. <br />  <br />  Looking further to the balance of the guns there are a few things that I miss. What is the reasoning behind having a burst-mode to glock and famas when it's complete sh*t? Bring back the good old 1.6-burst, where both modes were viable and where there were situations and different ways to play the gun. I also, to some extent, miss tagging. It's a simple aspect that would balance a few things, running pistols for example. It would also slightly nerf AWP-users, as they wouldn't be getting away as easily if they lost move-speed from being shot. <br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/images/10810/t/60638.jpg" /><figcaption>JW, master of close combat duels, no matter weapon of choice.</figcaption></figure><br />  As a final point to the weapons, I'd like to put light towards the approach to having different kill rewards for different guns. A particular example that still bugs me a lot is the fact that CZ-75 gives $100. Valves' explanation to it is that the gun's supposed to be used close range, thus rewarding you with a gun right away but the thing is, you can do that almost as easily with other pistols. Yes, deagle is a long range weapon but it's not like it's impossible to get close range frags. P250 for me is a good hybrid but personally, and from what I see in pro games, I see way more close range than long range frags with it, even though mid-range might be dominant. <br />  <br />  With the same logic applied to shotguns, which are all close range, that is used in situations where the economy is limited, I'd argue for the fact that as soon as I get a frag with my shotgun and the situation is clear, I switch to whatever gun the T might have as soon as possible. I think its fine to have a difference in kill rewards depending on weapons, but the span between $100 and $900, if we ignore knife kills, is simply too much. It can put some games in such a weird spot and destroy the delicacy of the economic system in a brute way. </div>

														<div class="articlePageHeadline"><h2>Maps and map pool</h2></div>
														<div class="articlePageContent">If you look at teams and their map pools, no team has ever played all seven maps since Fnatic did with Markus "pronax" Wallsten more than two years ago. Even though Faze hints that they intend to play all maps they are far from it today. There simply isn't enough time for teams to be 100% competitive on all maps, especially now when there are more tournaments than ever. Right now, most pro teams agree that both nuke and cobblestone is mediocre, to say the least. Neither nuke nor cobblestone has the proper architecture to be a good map, its time to put the old horse down. <br />  <br />  The same logic used with the amount of weapons can be applied to the number of maps. Remove a few maps, have five maps in the pool, and keep them fresh and good enough for competitive play with small regular tweaks. Having a five map pool, with a new map each season (straight after every major), would bring a lot of good things to the scene. BO3's today is often one-sided due to teams having their set picks. With fewer maps, the teams will find a more even level, also having more time for counterplay. It will bring an overall higher level of CS to the top scene. <br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/images/10810/t/60728.jpg" /><figcaption>MSL finally made it to the big stages.</figcaption></figure><br />  I remember two years ago, when dignitas was still considered a t2-team, Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen expressed that a seven map pool was too hard for lesser teams to master. The top teams were already comfortable on most maps and it was simply too hard to reach them. I didn't agree with him at the time, I just felt that they needed more practice, but looking back, it makes a lot of sense. <br />  <br />  All in all, if we have fewer competitive maps, that more teams are good and comfortable on, and that gets more love and attention with updates and tweaks, it's obvious that we will have a more enjoyable counter-strike to watch, and play. </div>

														<div class="articlePageHeadline"><h2>Match tempo and timings</h2></div>
														<div class="articlePageContent">Back when the round time and bomb timer was increased, I was very skeptical. The reasoning was that statistics in matchmaking didn't fit Valves idea. Casuals did not have time to get to the sites and when they did, CT took a lot of time to try to defuse. The majority of players, the casuals, simply don't grasp the game as professionals do, therefore spending more time to do stuff. <br />  <br />  Looking at the top level of CS, all it did was giving teams more time to wait out the smokes and molotovs, making some plays more viable than before, but in general just slowed down the matches. It made it slightly easier for T to actually grind out CT-nades and do proper rounds, in the meantime giving more time for CT to do retakes. With that, it didn't really affect the percentage of round wins for any side, it just brought the tempo down. <br />  <br />  If they instead of increasing round and bomb timer looked further into the impact of smoke and molotov, the game could've been much more interesting. I believe in the idea of bringing back the old timers and to reduce the smoke time from 18 to 16 seconds and the molotov from 7 to 6. This would roughly give the same blockage time in relation to round time but, of course, raise the tempo. It would make it slightly harder for CT to defend, forcing them to think twice about their nades but it also adds a bigger challenge for T as their set rounds need to be more coordinated and have less room for error. <br />  <br />  Overall, the timings of grenades are stronger on some maps than others. I've had the idea of looking into the relation between "rotation times from A to B" and "chokepoint to bomb plant", trying to find an answer to how close to the bombsite the CT allow T to come in relation to how fast they can rotate between bombsites. Valve needs to find a proper balance with this in mind, along with the timing of grenades, something that I feel can be quite off on some maps.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/images/10810/t/60744.jpg" /><figcaption>Natus Vincere is slow and methodical, but how tactical?</figcaption></figure><br />  With these changes applied, there would be a faster game. I don't believe the tactical side of the game would take a hit, I've always wanted to kill the idea that slow paced teams are more tactical. They might be more methodical because of that, but a great tactical team is for me a team that masters the combination of slow and fast plays in a good way. Knowing when to play passively and when to go forward. Shorter nade times will just make teams more clear-cut. </div>

														<div class="articlePageHeadline"><h2>Coaches and timeouts</h2></div>
														<div class="articlePageContent">In August last year, Valve decided to limit a coach's access to his team during matches. I understand their reasoning to some extent, they want to get the best team of five. Competitive CS has (almost) always been circulated around a core five and that's something they value highly. On the other hand, and especially with my background as a coach, I really think coaches add something valuable to the team and their input during matches can be vital. <br />  <br />  I want to see the highest possible level of CS, and I want every measure to be taken, as long as its reasonable and legal, obviously. If that involves giving coaches back the opportunity to communicate properly with his team, so be it. I want the level of enjoyment to be as high as possible. <br />  <br />  Adding to the fact that they're already getting less and less space, the ruling for timeouts, the only time where coaches are allowed to talk, has been changed. 4x30 seconds per match instead of 1x120. What is the idea that teams use their pause for? During a 30 seconds timeout, there's no room to have a discussion, just simply present an already thought out plan and explain it. Tick tock and the game is live. <br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/images/10748/t/56232.jpg" /><figcaption>Open discussions are fundamental for team talk and timeouts.</figcaption></figure><br />  In Fnatic, many of our pauses, back when you had 2 min, was an open question, "Why do we lose? How do we lose? What should we do differently?". We had a discussion about the game in a somewhat calm environment. I guess every team uses their pauses in different ways, but there must be a common feeling that 30 seconds just isn't enough. Many pauses might be called for a mental reset, what team can calm down and refocus in 30 seconds? Even 2 min is short, but it's doable. </div>

														<div class="articlePageContent">To try to summarize it all, I'm not trying to bash on Valve and/or any tournament organizer. I do believe however that the game could reach new heights with some adjustments. There are many examples where Valve looks towards CS as a whole and not the top 1 %. I believe that if you form the competitive game for how the very best want it, the community will follow. <br />  <br />  Altogether, it would be very interesting to see all or some of the changes, but when it comes to most of them, I'm not very optimistic, given how updates and revolutionizing changes have panned out before with this game.</div>

Fresh rumor: Maikelele, pronax, pyth comes together to form new team

21 September 2017, 13:05

Per SjölinPer "Xerm" Sjölin – @persjo

Mikail "Maikelele" Bill is on his way to make a comeback to the professional CS:GO scene, and has been seen practicing together with a quartet of well-known players.

Reports on the return of Mikail "Maikelele" Bill hit Reddit a day ago when an observant user posted a screenshot, showing of Bill playing together with a new team. The team consists of experienced players like the former Godsent in-game leader Markus "pronax" Wallsten and the ex-ninja Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi, as well as André "BARBARR" Möller and Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen, the former currently playing for Epsilon and the latter having represented the team in the past.

Godsent replace Lekr0 with dennis — pronax benched

21 August 2017, 16:01

Bernhard ChisBernhard "chisar" Chis – @imcalledbernie

1

Godsent has announced that they are replacing Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson with Dennis "dennis" Edman. Along the replacement, Markus "pronax" Wallsten has also departed the starting roster by joining the list of substitutes.

Fnatic recently announced the departure of Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer and the addition of Maikil "Golden" Selim to the primary team. Despite the hectic changes, this was not the last of Fnatic's feat as they today announced another change.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">Fnatic recently announced the <a href="http://fragbite.com/cs/news/41222/olofmeister-leaves-fnatic-for-faze—replaced-by-golden" target="_blank">departure</a> of Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer and the addition of Maikil "Golden" Selim to the primary team. Despite the hectic changes, this was not the last of Fnatic's feat as they today announced another change.<br />  <br />  Dennis "dennis" Edman is supposedly the last man to part ways with Fnatic before the season commences. Edman has supported Kajbjer in the shatterings of Fnatic and has until now remained a part of the Fnatic family. Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson is set to be the new face of Fnatic by switching places with Edman, who will continue his career in Godsent.<br />  <br />  <figure><a href="http://fragbite.com/cs/gallery/10798/eleague-major-2017/image/59496" target="_blank"><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/stock/2196e0f964fdf547610b.jpg" alt="Lekr0 sees himself as a player that can adapt and act based on needs." /></a><figcaption>Lekr0 sees himself as a player that can adapt and act based on needs.</figcaption></figure><br />  Olofsson has, much like his new teammate Selim, been a part of his team since its founding. He was under the Godsent banner for a mere four months before he departed to join Fnatic in 2016. Three tournaments in Fnatic was all the time for Olofsson before his return to Godsent. After almost a year, he has now decided to come back to Fnatic for the second time.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>"I feel that the change that happened is good for myself and the others in Godsent. It felt like we could not develop individually and that the hunger itself started to die out. I think if we "start from scratch," we will be able to improve and become better players. We in Godsent are good friends, and the change itself will not affect it. I think everybody thought this was somehow needed. I have always enjoyed the team, and we have always had fun, but unfortunately, we have to think about the results too. We did not have a lot of good ones, so we needed a change", said Olofsson for Fragbite.</blockquote><br />  He later explains that the team is expected to bootcamp ahead of DreamHack Masters to increase chemistry and get comfortable in their roles. The goal is to place top four under the first tournaments, but he is dreaming of winning championships in the long run. Olofsson means that he will direct all his energy to CS:GO by uninstalling Dota 2 and other games that have taken focus under the vacation.<br />  <br />  <div class="lineup"><h3>Fnatic</h3><img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Jesper "JW" Wecksell<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Robin "flusha" Rönnquist<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Maikil "Golden" Selim<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson<br />  <br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Jimmy "Jumpy" Berndtsson <small>(Coach)</small></div>  <br />  <h3>Pronax step to the side</h3>Godsent also released that they have moved Markus "pronax" Wallsten to a substitute position due to the lack of performances in recent times. Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi has received a chance to display his worth in the ESL Pro League as the Swedish organization is on the lookout for a permanent replacement.<br />  The team had previously announced the departure of coach Alexander "rdl" Redl, only to acquire Graham "messioso" Pitt as their coach.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>"Poor performance and continuous struggles to find common ground within the team made it evident for all of us that a change had to happen. Unfortunately for me, it means that I am put on the sideline. I have not played with a group of players that I have clicked this well with ever since my 1.6 days and needless to say, I would have loved to be a part of the active roster for the upcoming season, but I do respect the decision the team has made.", said Wallsten in an <a href="http://godsent.gg/changes-in-godsent/" target="_blank">official statement</a>. </blockquote><br />  <div class="lineup"><h3>Godsent</h3><img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Andreas "znajder" Lindberg<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Simon "twist" Eliasson<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Joakim "disco doplan" Gidetun<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Dennis "dennis" Edman<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi <small>(Stand-in)</small><br />  <br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/151.svg" /> Markus "pronax" Wallsten <small>(Benched)</small><br />  <img alt ="United Kingdom" title="United Kingdom" class="flag x4x3" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/4x3/150.svg" /> Graham "messioso" Pitt <small>(Coach)</small></div> <br />  A hectic and exciting season awaits for Fnatic who will play their debut game against BIG in the sixth edition of ESL Pro League. The team will debut on offline grounds on August 30 when DreamHack Masters Malmö will commence.<br />  <br />  Godsent won't be joining Fnatic in Malmö but still play their debut game in the ESL Pro League on Tuesday, facing Mousesports.<br />  </div>

.@godsentgg just got mouselifted to the next major :) Welcome @jwCSGO @krimzCSGO @fnaticFlusha— pronax (@GODpronax) 15 augusti 2016

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center" data-lang="sv"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/GODSENTgg">@godsentgg</a> just got mouselifted to the next major :) Welcome <a href="https://twitter.com/jwCSGO">@jwCSGO</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/krimzCSGO">@krimzCSGO</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/fnaticFlusha">@fnaticFlusha</a></p>— pronax (@GODpronax) <a href="https://twitter.com/GODpronax/status/765239498179547136">15 augusti 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br />  <br />  As the team captain Markus "pronax" Wallsten describes in the tweet above, Godsent have now secured a spot to the next major tournament in CS:GO. The reason is today's player switch, where Jesper "JW" Wecksell, Freddy "krimz" Johansson and Robin "flusha" Rönnquist left Fnatic to become a part of Godsent. As the three mentioned players were the majority of the Fnatic team who secured a Legends spot at ESL One Cologne, the tickets for next year's first major follows them to their new team.<br />  <br />  This means that Fnatic, for the first time ever, has to fight in a major qualifier, and the task will be time consuming. Prior to the major in Columbus earlier this year, a new system was introduced. This system includes so-called minor tournaments in different regions. If that's not an option, fierce online qualifiers is the alternative. In the end, eight teams secure a spot in the main qualifier, where eight other teams from the past major will be ready to fight for a spot in the following tournament.<br />  <br />  However, it'll be a while before we get to see Godsent make their major debut. Last week, it was announced that there won't be another Valve supported CS:GO tournament for the rest of the year. The next major will be held in January.</div>
