Newegg customers should also be aware of a separate data breach that affected recent purchases made between August 13th/14th through September 18th.

#1 OPTIONAL CS:GO update for 9/13/18 in CS2 General Discussion

Via the new csgo_servers:

Vitaliy GenkinAn optional stability update for CS:GO game servers to address a GOTV issue on Windows servers has been released with PatchVersion=1.36.5.3 and ServerVersion=783.

Rumor has it:

- Other than stability fixes for servers, it's localization made possible in part by contributions from Translators Like You - Thank You

- Wait, what, the new csgo_servers? If you missed the email Valve sent you, they've tossed out their self-hosted GNU Mailman box that the csgo_servers mailing list was on (and the HLDS lists for TF2 and CS:S users), in favor of a cloud provider (Simplelists). If you were previously a subscriber to the old list, you must resubscribe to csgo_servers to continue getting messages
- If you tried to sign up in the first hour or so when the switch happened a few months ago but weren't able to due to subscription limits, you should be able to try again successfully

- In case it wasn't obvious what Vitaliy said, this update is OPTIONAL for server operators

- Size is close to 10 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 9/11/18 (9/12/18 UTC) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[PANORAMA]
– Optimized scoreboard per player updates to run only when scoreboard is open.
– Fixed several rare error cases when placing Pick’Em predictions.
– Fixed spectator player stats display in overtime.
– Fixed a rare case of Steam UI displaying EmbeddedStreamCurrentTime dialog outside of game.

Rumor has it:

- Other than the above Panorama-related changes and the addition of a missing quotation mark in Thai localization, this update basically introduces TazeIt's new Super Advanced Security System. (Wow, it's so light-weight! Feels like there's nothing inside.)

- Courtesy reminder: you have until 2:00 AM CDT/0800 BST to make your Pick'Em picks for the group stage of the FACEIT Major. Make sure you LOCK THEM IN by pressing the Update Picks button, otherwise you'll lose them

- On a tangentially related note because of a new "Counter-Strike Chat" DLC application surfacing, Steam.tv viewers can get some new CS:GO-themed Steam chat emoticons

- Size is close to 10 MB

#1 CS:GO update for 9/10/18 (9/11/18 UTC, 1.36.5.3) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ SOUND ]

– Added a server setting “mp_footsteps_serverside” which is enabled by default and switches footsteps near the player from using a mix of client-simulated and server-authoritative to purely server-authoritative.

Rumor has it:

- Now that you can make picks for the group stage of the FACEIT Major, the default Pick'Em landing page has been changed to the group stage page

- You can also view the leaderboard now and brag to your friends on how many points you got from the Challengers stage

- Pick'Em picks and results from PGL Krakow 2017 and onward have been restored

- And aside from a local sync of the Steam Datagram system configuration that took out some IP ranges for the Frankfurt relay cluster, that's about it

- Size is ~10 MB

#1 CS:GO Blog: "FACEIT 2018 – Ways to Watch" in CS2 General Discussion

http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2018/09/21005/

CS:GO TeamThe Major is about to begin and there are more ways to watch than ever! For a chance to receive collectible Souvenir Packages, view matches in-game through GOTV, on Steam.tv, or on Twitch with a linked Steam account.

Nuke and Inferno Collections

For the London Major we are introducing new weapon collections for Nuke (with contributions by Chemical Alia and Millenia), and Inferno (with contributions by kosear). You can find the new weapon finishes in Souvenir Packages during the event.

Each Souvenir Package contains a weapon from the collection of the map being played with golden stickers of the event, the participating teams, and a golden signature of the MVP from the round the souvenir dropped.

There’s still time to make your picks for the Challengers Stage, so don’t miss your chance to pick up some points toward a Pick’Em trophy!

#1 CS:GO Blog: "Winning is Everything" in CS2 General Discussion

http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2018/08/20904/

CS:GO TeamIn just over a week the next CS:GO Major Championship will get under way! At the opening Challengers Stage (September 5-9), we’ll watch the top two teams from each region (Americas, Asia, CIS, and Europe) battle the bottom eight teams from last Major’s Legends Stage.

However, next time we will not extend an invitation to every bottom eight team from the Legends Stage. The two teams who finish 0-3 in the London Legends Stage will need to qualify through the Minors for Katowice 2019.

And so, two teams will make an early exit from the Major Championship circuit. To replace them, two additional teams will qualify from the regional Minors: the third-place teams from each region will take part in a brief playoff, with the top two advancing to the main event.

(In other words, two regions will send an extra team to Katowice)

Which teams will live to fight another day and which two will get sent back to the drawing board? Join us in London and find out!
