Okay, so.

 

Angel had a doc that he used as a back up for the newsletter. He didn't update it after Toby started the archive website and Toby hasn't updated that since January so, here I am with the updated doc up until January and then some news that is from Procave's newsletter. It's completely unedited except for the font and colors. EDIT: LINKS ARE FIXED, YEHA

 

CTRL+F a date for the news on that day or whatever: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfjSUArxq-O5zHvXyV5GAIlIdLdFvTE8CXD3F_kmPqI

 

So uh, I suppose I could start this up again but instead of having reporters, everyone's a reporter. Anyone who knows anything that's happened post here and either myself or the mods (Hopefully) will put it in. This way it's easier to gather info without it getting lost in steam messages or misinformation.

Sweet, an opportunity to post every time I buy something and pretend it's real news.

Actual news: A minor TF2 update was released today, hinting at a major update in the near future in its release notes.

I would say only if it actually means something, i.e. Highest Ever Purchase for non-Unusual or highest Unusual or highest ever cash trade or something

The bug with Unique Black Rose finally get fixed after it was exploited to scam people

There are many things wrong with this statement, but I'm going to start with saying that this wasn't fixed today; I believe it was fixed yesterday, so it wouldn't be in this week's newsletter.

Well, it's much better to have the people report the news, since you'll always be up-to-date on news which you didn't know about and (almost) no days will be uneventful.

I wish you the best of luck with this version of the newsletter.

Other way around actually. SK won against Liquid on Cologne 2016 making their second consecutive win in a major competition, and with a pretty significant score difference ahead of them. Liquid however did manage to reach their first grand final ever to a major cs go event (beating envyus, navi and fnatic on the same tournament lol), making them the first North American team to ever do that.
