Today's issue of "The Catchup" is here! Grab some popcorn and read up on the most interesting things from yesterday's headlines.

Following Tempo Storm’s team disbandment, eLevate has continued the North American shuffle by releasing their roster as well. Damian "Daps' Steel, Keith "NAF" Markovic and Will "RUSH" Wierzba will continue playing together under new name, while David "XP3" Garrido and Adam "aKis" Kisserberth are free agents and will look for new opportunities.

There wasn’t a lot of action during the previous day. In fact we saw only two matches being played, where the more important one was between Dignitas and Dobry&Gaming in the PGL qualifier finals. The best-of-five series saw all five maps being played in a match which was full of back and forth pushes for both teams. The Danish side managed to prevail and the last spot at the PGL Season 1 went to them.

During previous days, teams got to share photos from their bootcamps. However, today we saw them having a different focus as Natus Vincere players prepared... for a photo session.

It's so hot outside, but still, our #cs_go boys are posing for a brand new photoshoot. #navistars pic.twitter.com/dBaLdNtGmW — Natus Vincere (@natusvincere) August 14, 2015

French player Nathan "NBK" Schmitt followed Na’Vi’s example and he went for a photo session of his own. Team EnVyUs' player took a picture in front of the billboard with his face and ESL One Cologne banner on it.

Rounding up the day is post made by Mikail "Maikelele" Bill in which he defends his teammate Ricardo "fox" Pacheco reminiscent of youtube's classic ‘Leave Britney Alone’. Here is the full post:

I don't get why people are shit talking my teammate Ricardo "fox" Pacheco. It's like, when fREAKAZOID from Cloud9 is playing and have bad stats everyone is like "but he's the entryfrager" and bla bla, I'm not taking anything from fREAKAZOID me personally have big respect for him. He's a really consistent player that does everything for his teammates, EXACTLY like fox does. If I ask fox to drop his AK to me or his glock or whatever he's gonna run from the other side of the map to you to just do it, he does EVERYTHING for the team and he's the perfect fit for the team. Guys please stop shittalking and make som happiness instead.
