The weekend is typically a great time to chill, but that’s not entirely on the cards this time.
IEM Sydney is in town, and so the machinations of professional Counter-Strike will be occupying a good chunk of my time. We won’t know until later this afternoon if any Australians will actually be taking part over the weekend: there’s actually not that many matches left to play, with only six teams left in the tournament.
The event’s structured so fans get to watch every single map on the main stage, which is nice for everyone involved. It’s genuinely unfortunate that more Aussies didn’t make the final stage, but we’ve put in a good showing nonetheless.
Something I have been playing lately is Agricola on iOS. The farming/worker placement game only has a duel version available on Android, which is a real shame, but it’s been fun to get absolutely wrecked on the iPhone.
What are you playing this weekend?
