What To Watch This Weekend: Pokémon, Gears of War, and Dota 2
Now comes the testy period between Thanksgiving and the holiday season. For us in the U.S., anyway. For everyone across the pond and beyond, it's just another wonderful weekend to sit back and find something to watch this weekend.
Dota 2's big, single-elimination tournament The Boston Major will have its last semifinal matches and its grand finals today. Today's series will see hotly contended matches between OG and EG, DC and AF, and the winning two acronyms from those first two matches. (Stream / Schedule)
On a less serious note League of Legends' All-Star Event will feature less competitive tournaments, but will also have a few regional matches to keep things interesting. (Stream / Schedule)
Meanwhile, The Pokémon Europoean International Championships are going on, and will have the world's best Pokémon players test their mettle in the latest iteration of the series, Pokémon Sun and Moon. (Stream / Schedule)
The Gears of War Pro Circuit is having its London Open this weekend, with the top team taking home a whopping $150,000 as part of the larger Pro Circuit's $1,000,000 prize pool. (Stream and Schedule)
In the world of Counter-Strike, the eSports Championship Series is underway and will have a total prize pool of $750,000. (Stream / Schedule)
Later tonight (at around 7:30 CST), you can watch the Overwatch Winter Premiere, in which anyone who signed up by the registration deadline can compete for a $100,000 prize. (Stream / Schedule)
That's it for this weekend! Let us know in the comments if we missed any event you think needs covering.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
