What To Watch This Weekend: Hearthstone, Smite, And PUBG
With Evo behind us and The International ahead of us, August has a lot going on, tournament-wise. In fact, even in what's supposed to be a slow week, we have some pretty major events going on!
Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is finishing off its GLL season with a $100,000 grand finals match, so if you're interested in seeing what high-level play looks like for one of the most popular games in the world, check it out. (Stream)
The League of Legends North American LCS continues! There's little room left for error as teams continue to fight for their place in the playoffs, but teams still have two weeks left, so they better make them count. (Stream / Schedule)
We've got a trio of Blizzard events this weekend! First up, Hearthstone is in Krefeld, Germany for its HCT tour, so you can expect more top-level European card action this weekend! (Stream / Schedule)
Meanwhile Heroes of the Storm is having its Western Clash in good 'ol Burbank, California, as four of the best teams from the West (duh) fight for their share of $100,000 (Stream / Schedule)
Finally, StarCraft II's WCS Challenger Copa finals come to a head this weekend, so come watch some of Latin America's best General Duke it out! (Stream / Schedule)
Smite's competitive season may not have started yet, but we still have the All-Star Weekend to look forward to! Popular players are chosen and drafted onto four teams and pit against each other for our enjoyment. (Stream / Schedule)

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.
