Chaos Esports Club to exit CS:GO and Rainbow Six Siege scenes

Less than four months after announcing two music industry heavyweights as its parent company's new co-owners, Chaos Esports Club has dropped its rosters from two of the biggest esports scenes.

Despite revealing rappers Logic and Pusha T as co-owners of GG Group in August of this year, Chaos has now announced that it is looking to rehome its Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Rainbow Six Siege teams before the end of the year and will completely exit both competitive scenes. Citing the drop in sponsorship revenue caused by the pandemic, Chaos says in a statement that it can no longer "support our rosters and the incredible players behind them."

2020 has also seen Chaos drop out of the professional Dota 2 and Rocket League scenes in what appears to be a conscious shift away from competing towards content creation. In the CS:GO and Siege announcement, Chaos says: "As an organization we will be accelerating our shift to focus on supporting more content creators both in and outside of gaming."

You can now play Portal in CS:GO with this mod

It has been a long time since we've seen Valve release any official Portal content into the world, so a fan of the game has decided to recreate the popular title in another Valve classic, CS:GO, because why not?

Reddit user Ibreathetea posted a video to show how they are progressing through making the mod. In the video (below), you can see the Portal gun in action, the character bouncing on Aperture gel, see how cubes are used to solve puzzles, and also get a glimpse of the fabled cake at the end of the level, perhaps this means the cake isn't a lie?

The mod still has a few bugs at the moment, and for now, you can only shoot portals at walls that are straight in front of you, though this may be changed at a later date. Ibreathetea has said the mod code is stripped to the bare minimum, so other modders can easily reuse or cargocode it, which means we may see even more Portal-based mods for CS:GO in the future.
