European esports organization OG Esports is allegedly entering the CSGO scene with a roster of star players, according to a report from French website 1pv. The organization is mainly known for its Dota 2 team and is also easily identifiable by the Red Bull logo featured on its logo. The back-to-back The International champions will reportedly recruit former Team Vitality player Nathan “NBK” Schmitt and former ENCE in-game leader Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen to head its CSGO roster.

The report mentioned sources that said OG Esports would enter CSGO for the first time with the signing of NBK and Aleksib. The other players on the roster include SJ Gaming player Elias “Jampp”’ Olkkonen, NORTH Esports player Valdemar “Valde” Bjørn Vangså, and benched HellRaisers player Issa “ISSAA” Mura.
The report also describes how it is likely the players were more interested in the offer of the prestigious Dota 2 organization compared to North American esports organization 100 Thieves. OG Esports was founded by Johan “n0tail” Sundstein in August 2015, as the new team of the former (monkey) Business Dota 2 roster. With N0tail still on the roster, the team has gone on to several 1st place finishes since its creation.
Shortly after 1pv’s report, NBK tweeted out the equivalent of “what the f*ck”.
Mitä vittua ?

Entering CSGO
One reason why the players may prefer OG Esports over 100 Thieves is OG’s winning history with Dota 2. To succeed in such a competitive environment as Dota 2, which holds the largest prize pools in esports, the organization must be supported by a great coaching staff.
While Aleksib and NBK would also factor in financials during their choice, the greater possibility of winning at CSGO events probably trumps the other aspects. Despite earlier reports by DeKay that 100 Thieves were most likely signing the two, do you think OG Esports can propel this supposed team to the top?

Hati-hati! Ponselmu Bisa Terhack Melalui Pesan Gambar Di WhatsApp
Sebuah celah keamanan kembali ditemukan pada aplikasi WhatsApp, celah keamanan tersebut ditemukan di aplikasi WhatsApp untuk versi Android.
Kabar ini pertama kali dilaporkan oleh periset sekuriti yang dikenal dengan nama “Awakened” dia mengatakan jika telah menemukan celah keamanan di WhatsApp versi Android. Ia mengatakan jika celah keamanan tersebut bernama “double-free” yang memanfaatkan pesan gambar GIF yang telah disisipi oleh kode berbahaya.
Dikatakan jika celah keamanan ini bisa memicu kerusakan memori perangkat dan bisa menimbulkan beragam skenario. Seperti aplikasi yang terblokir, kemudian kehilangan akses ke perangkat pengguna keseluruhan. Hingga, kemungkinan terparah adalah peretas bisa memanfaatkan celah ini untuk mencuri data pengguna.
Ia menjelaskan jika celah keamanan ini bekerja dengan cara peretas akan mengirimkan GIF yang telah disusupi kode berbahaya tersebut dan menunggu pengguna yang dikirimi gambar membuka pesan tersebut. Nantinya, setelah dibuka bug tersebut akan menyerang dan bisa membuka akses ke galeri gambar WhatsApp.
Dikatakan jika hanya Android versi 8.1 Oreo dan 9 Pie yang rentan akan serangan ini. Sedangkan versi Android yang lebih lawas tak akan terjangkiti. “Mustahil memicu bug ini di Android versi 8 dan sebelumnya, tapi aplikasi bisa rusak sebelum benar-benar diserang,” jelas Awakened.
Setelah melaporkanya kepihak Facebook, Awakened kemudian mendapatkan sebuah pesan jika versi terbaru aplikasinya telah menambal celah keamanan dimaksud.
“Eksploitasi bug bekerja di WhatsApp versi 2.19.230. Celah keamanan itu telah ditambal dengan pembaruan WhatsApp versi 2.19.244,” tulis Awakened, dirangkum Gamebrott dari The Hacker News, Jumat (4/10/2019).
Oleh karena itu, pengguna Android yang menggunakan WhatsApp disarankan untuk segera memperbarui aplikasi WhatsApp ke versi paling baru. Saat ini belum ditemukan laporan pengguna akibat celah keamanan ini. “Temuan itu telah dilaporkan dan segera diperbaiki bulan lalu,” jelas salah satu perwakilan WhatsApp.

Rick Fox files lawsuit against Echo Fox partners
Echo Fox founder Rick Fox has filed a civil complaint against the esports organization’s business partners. He has alleged that the organization’s investors have committed acts of fraud. Fox is seeking damages of over $10 million USD in his lawsuit against Amit Raizada and Stratton Sclavos in Los Angeles County court.
Rick Fox lawsuit
In the civil complaint, Rick Fox accuses Amit Raizada of misusing investor funds for his own personal benefit. He brings up the man’s racist comments as well as deceptive business practices in the 162-page complaint. It further discusses how Raizada used investor money to lease a Beverly Hills home that cost more than $20,000 a month, along with other expenses and a salary amount that wasn’t approved.
Amit Raizada’s attorney, David Swift, responded to this. “Rick Fox’s lawsuit is a transparent attempt to divert attention from the train wreck he left behind at Echo Fox.” Swift also describes this as a way for Rick Fox to draw attention away from the fact that Echo Fox has collapsed in recent months. This lawsuit comes almost a week after the Echo Fox organization voted to expel Rick Fox, with 80 percent of the organization’s partners agreeing that Rick Fox did not act in the best interest of the business.
The lawsuit also targets Stratton Sclavos, a name that hasn’t been brought up much in the conflict thus far. The former San Jose Sharks co-owner and VeriSign Chief Executive Officer is an Echo Fox partner who reportedly took a $2 million personal loan from the company after helping raise funds. However, there is no proof that Sclavos actually misused any of the funds either.
“Contrary to Fox’s propaganda, Sclavos nor Raizada misappropriated or misused any company funds. No monies paid to or for Raizada for his services were paid by Echo Fox or depleted any Echo Fox resources,” said Linda McFee, the attorney for Stratton Sclavos. “Rather Sclavos, Raizada, and their affiliates infused millions of dollars into Echo Fox over several years just so it could survive. Fox cannot say the same.”
Echo Fox vote
This whole ordeal started when Rick Fox came out into the public and accused Amit Raizada of using racial slurs toward Echo Fox Chief Executive Office Jace Hall. Raizada would later confirm these accusations, but they still impacted the esports organization’s core business. Echo Fox’s League of Legends Championship Series slot was forcefully taken by Riot Games after Echo Fox failed to resolve the issue.
During this conflict, new information came to light about the actions between Rick Fox and the organization’s investors. The investors originally wanted to accept an offer for the LCS slot, which offered supposed greater financial gains. However, Rick Fox rejected this stance and wanted to sell to another party.
Rick Fox still remains in control of the esports organization until Oct 21, when the shareholder majority vote will take effect. Despite this going on, Rick Fox has stated that he plans on remaining a part of the esports industry afterward. Will the organization still operate as normal after this ordeal ends? What will happen to the fighting game esports players still with Echo Fox? Let us know what you think, and keep up with Daily Esports for all of your League of Legends coverage.
