This week in CS:GO sees team Astralis officially signing Jakob “JUGi” Hansen as their seventh players for the roster, with the end goal being two players for each role in the team. Astralis describes the acquisition as is commitment to creating, “the most competitive and healthy environment for the players.”
In other news, FaZe Banks has admitted to having owned and run CSGO Wild, a gambling site for in-game skins. During a recent podcast, Banks claimed that running such a site made him up to $200,000 per day. In order to be run legitimately, Banks flew to Antigua in the Caribbean where owning gambling websites are permitted. If true, this falls within a grey area of ethical behavior when it comes to skirting the spirit of US gambling and banking laws, as well as conducting paid advertisements regarding FTC regulations.
Lastly, CS:GO developer Ido Magal has announced that well-known pen tester 2eggs has been banned for cheating in game. While 2eggs has gained a following on social media for his content, the cheating community had no patience for his behavior and called him out over several clear cases of cheating. 2eggs received a VAC ban shortly after, which was confirmed by Magal later as being correctly issued against the offender.
