What To Watch This Weekend: AGDQ, MAGFest, And Street Fighter III
It's the start of the new year! As you're figuring out whether you'll be able to actually stick to your resolutions, you'll have speedruns, music, and Street Fighter III to keep you busy.
The start of the year signals the arrival of Awesome Games Done Quick, the annual speedrunning marathon that runs from this Sunday to next Sunday. There's a lot of old favorites, but also some new games! It's going to be a good time. (Stream / Schedule)
If speedruns aren't your thing, you can hit up MagFest instead, which focuses more on music, though there'll be some number of marathons there as well. (Streams / Schedule)
Japan's Cooperation Cup is a celebration of Street Fighter III: Third Strike, as players compete in multiple tournaments over the weekend. Some would say this is the best fighting game ever made, and now you can see why that is! (Stream)
The first big multi-game tournament for fighters is Kumite in Tennessee, however, and that'll have all the favorites: Street Fighter V (now running on its recent Season 4 patch), Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and more. (Streams and Schedule)
We have a quick pair of Dota 2 tournaments this weekend: The WePlay Winter Madness event (Stream and Schedule), and the Loot.Bet Winter Masters event. (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 below.
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.
