What To Watch This Weekend: Injustice 2, Dota 2, And Super Smash Bros. Melee
It's still technically Spring for a couple more weeks, but everyone knows it's really summer. Esports are in on this line of reasoning, as a few tournament leagues are kicking off their Summer leagues. There's also just a bunch of great tournaments this weekend.
Combo Breaker is one of the biggest fighting game tournaments of the year, and for good reason. It has tournaments for 18 games, including Street Fighter V, Injustice 2, Guilty Gear Xrd: REV 2, Tekken 7, and a mystery game tournament, where players compete in a different, obscure game every round. (Streams / Schedule) For a more dedicated Street Fighter V tournament, check out the Red Bull Kumite, which should have a strong lineup of international players. (Stream and Schedule)
For some Super Smash Bros. Melee and For Wii U action, check out MomoCon, which will have singles and doubles tournaments for both games, as well as Brawlhalla and Rivals of Aether. (Streams and Schedule)
Dota 2 heads to the Phillipines for the Manila Masters tournament, which will be the first to implement the game's latest 7.06b patch. (Streams and Schedule)
The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Esports Championship League pits big-name teams like EnVyUs, FaZe Clan, and Fnatic until early June, so make sure to catch up on all the action before the finals in a couple of weeks. (Stream / Schedule)
The Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare CWL Global Pro League enter its playoffs stage this week, with a huge $212,500 first-place prize. (Stream / Schedule)
The Halo 5: Guardians HCS Summer Pro League kicks off this weekend, with major teams vying for early victories in the league to make the coming weeks a little less stressful. (Stream / Schedule)
