The proceeds from the GWB prize pool will be donated to humanitarian aid partners Direct Relief, IMC, UNICEF, King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, World Food Programme and UNHCR. Players and teams participating at GWB’s CS:GO, Rocket League and Rainbow Six Siege tournaments have been participating for a $10 million charity prize pool. “We thank all those involved in this year’s edition of Gamers Without Borders - from the teams, players, support staff and fans, all of whom have played their part in making our world a better place.” Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi Esports Federation chairman, said: “Gamers Without Borders has once again proved the immense power of ‘Gaming for Good,’ providing a platform for elite esports as well as numerous opportunities to improve the lives of people in need across the globe. We performed really well in a lot of close games during the qualifier and managed to pull through shows a lot about our team atmosphere and chemistry to be able to bounce back instantly.” “Overall, our mental reset and ability to still have the confidence after the major is the thing that pleased me most about the team. Open qualifiers are always a big grind and can be tough without preparation but we all reset well and performed well overall. It’s a big confidence-booster for us after a disappointing ending to our major run. In the European section of CS:GO, team Fnatic defeated Looking4Org with the same result (2-0) to also pocket $600,000 of the total charity prize pool.ĬS:GO player, William “Mezii” Merriman from Fnatic, said: “It feels great to win at GWB. “Our performance was good and we were able to show that we are going into the championship to fight among the best teams.”
We worked hard to beat good opponents and had an exciting final against ATK. MIBR team said: “We are very happy to win this spot in a championship with great teams, and that promises to be one of the best of the year. In the North American section of CS:GO, team MIBR beat ATK 2-0 to claim the biggest share $600,000 of the charity prize pool of $2.5 million. The fourth Gamers Without Borders event began on April 10 and has since hosted five tournaments across four major gaming titles: StarCraft II, CS:GO (with separate men and women’s events), Rocket League and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Held virtually by the Saudi Esports Federation under the banner of “Gaming for Good,” GWB’s CS:GO men’s event brought to a close the elite section of this year’s competition. Not a week after that announcement, Friesen officially joined another team, Nihilum.RIYADH: MIBR have triumphed in the North American section while Fnatic claimed victory in the European section of the men’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) tournament at Gamers Without Borders, the world’s largest charitable esports event. A month later, Cloud9 announced it was dropping Friesen along with another player, Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan. You can watch one of the matches Friesen is talking about here. The ESL One Katowice tournament in question took place in March. Like "shit comms so hectic." So yeah that might clear up some of the questions of why it was like that. Govindasamy: Just throwing that out there for the fans, that's how you get good.įriesen: And you can hear it in the comms right? That's what was so funny to me. Govindasamy: Everyone does Adderall at ESEA LAN right? It was pretty obvious if you listened to the comms. Friesen then hesitates for a moment before saying: "I don't even care.
"The ESL comms were kind of funny in my opinion," Friesen said, referring to the communication between his teammates at ESL One Katowice, the event in Poland where this match took place. Govindasamy asked Friesen about his ability as a "caller," a person who communicates strategy and positioning to other players on the team.
Friesen said he used Adderall while speaking to Mohan "Launders" Govindasamy, who interviewed him for his show that covers eSports and Counter-Strike in particular.
