We have a two newsbit deal for you today, and both items revolve around the world of esports and competitive gaming! You guys positively live for this stuff, don't you?

• The Amazing Hooch - Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov was added to the roster of Amazing Gaming after a relatively short jaunt with the Islanders. He'll be taking over for Taras "craft1k" Voytenko who just didn't impress anybody on the team with his skills.
  
• ESL permanently adds de_blue - The ESL promised to add new maps to their lineup and they're keeping that promise with the addition of de_blue.

Here's what the map's creator had to say.

de_blue is a map that takes place in the premises of a fictive IT company, under the sun, with palm trees and well-watered grass outside, clean and very pretty designed offices… Indoor game sequences alternate between these two environments. Both bombsites are quite spacious and offer many gameplay opportunities.

You can download de_blue directly from the ESL.

A special CS-Nation thanks goes out to BanKs3001 for both of these news pieces.
