This CS:GO Wordle spinoff makes you guess gun skins
It's always the simple games that take the world by storm and Wordle is no different. Josh Wardle's web-based word game, which has been bought by the New York Times, has spawned a rush for quick and simple brainteasers that refresh each day. And if the word-based game isn't enough for you, someone's made a version for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fans using the best CS:GO skins.
CS:GOrdle takes the tried and tested Wordle format but puts a CS:GO spin on it - replacing letters with categories and words with skins. You'll have eight attempts to guess the skin - and after making your first guess - you'll have to work out whether you're on the right track by looking at the condition, rarity, price, paint, weapon, and category.
For example, if the skin of the day is a Factory New M4A4 Asiimov and you guess a Factory New M4A4 Bullet Rain, the crates for condition, rarity, and weapon would be green. The category crate indicates whether a gun is T-sided, CT-sided, or both - so you'll want to scrub up on your buy menu options before you give this a shot.

BLAST bans Russian CS:GO teams from events following Ukraine conflict
Esports tournament organiser BLAST has revealed that it will be banning Russian Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams from its events due to the country's invasion of Ukraine. This marks the first time since the conflict began that a tournament organiser or developer has barred Russian-based teams from competing, despite Russian athletes and teams facing similar sanctions in the world of traditional sports.
As well as a blanket ban on Russian teams from BLAST events, the CIS region qualifier for the BLAST Spring Showdown has also been cancelled. This event not only would have featured teams from Russia, but it was being co-organised and produced by WePlay, a Ukraine-based tournament organiser that last week cut ties with any Russian partners.
In a statement, BLAST apologises to CIS CS:GO fans, but claims it is the right thing to do given the current situation. "We are sorry to the fans and players in the CIS region for this decision, but we do not think it is appropriate that this event goes ahead, at this time.
