What To Watch This Weekend: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Dota 2, And Rocket League
If you're fiending for some early Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competition, this weekend hosts New Game Plus, a well-attended Chicago Smash tournament. It's too early to know which characters might be good, but if you're interested in learning the game, this is a good place to start. (Stream / Schedule)
Meanwhile, Dota 2's Megafon tournament has a small-but-elite roster of teams (including International champions Team Liquid) competing for $300,000. (Stream / Schedule)
Mountain Dew is sponsoring this week's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive major, which has the four remaining teams fighting in the playoffs for their share of $50,000. (Stream / Schedule)
Rocket League is having the championships for its collegiate league today. The action starts at 2pm central. (Stream)
You can also catch some PUBG action from the MPL Season 2 Finals, which has several teams of four competing for both cash and a spot in the upcoming Asia Invitational. (Stream)
That's it for this weekend! Let us know if we missed an event, or if there's a scene you'd like us to cover, in the comments.
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.
