What To Watch This Weekend: Gears Of War, Counter-Strike, And Tekken 7
As Fall continues to make its presence known, esports are dealing with it in different ways. Some are dedicating their weekends to honoring the season with a ritual of beating each other up, while others are flocking to the West
Counter-Strike: Global Offense's big ESL One major in New York will take the city over! Well, not really, but there will be more than the average number of CS:GO fans there this weekend. (Stream / Schedule)
This weekend's fighting game major is the The Fall Classic, which has events for Tekken 7, Street Fighter V, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and more. (Streams and Schedule)
If you miss playing or watching Gears of War 4, now's the time to come back! There's a big 'ol major going on in San Diego, so while we wait for the next entry in the series, there's nothing wrong with catching up on the current one. (Stream / Schedule)
Hearthstone is in Oslo, Norway on the next stop of its Championship Tour. But they're using Swiss rounds, which shows either a lack of national pride or great regional pride. I don't know, I'm not an expert. (Stream / Schedule)
StarCraft II's prestigious GSL league is back with another Super Tournament, and you can keep up with the tournament all weekend long, as long as you like time zone differences. (Stream / Schedule)
The playoffs for Heroes of the Storm's Global Championship are underway! The winner of these early rounds qualifies for the finals at Blizzcon, so tune in! (Stream / Schedule)
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.
