The knockout stage of League of Legends’ biggest tournament of the year gets underway this weekend with only eight teams from across the globe left.

One coach, whose team was recently sent packing after their loss earlier in the week, gave an impassioned speech to two of the remaining underdog European teams, encouraging them to play the styles that most appeal to their personalities rather than what the current popular strategies demand.

Stay inside, turn on the heater, and watch gamers pwn one another to your heart’s content over the weekend, because there are a crap ton of high profile esports tournaments going on.

With the Overwatch League’s inaugural season firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to move on to the fighting game world. This weekend’s Evo is the biggest tournament of the year, starring street fighters, smash brothers (and sisters), and a crap ton of Gokus.

The biggest names in esports are in Poland this weekend for, among other things, the biggest PUBG tournament yet held.

Multiple tournaments scheduled to take place on the same day, today, have led to two Dota 2 teams receiving forfeit losses after being unable to make their scheduled games.

It's Labour Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer, which means it's also time for the League summer season to draw to a close.

Evo 2017 hasn't even started, DreamHack Atlanta is weeks away, Dota 2's TI7 is next month, and this weekend was still packed with esports.

With DreamHack Las Vegas and the Dota 2 Asia Championship qualifiers behind us, all eyes are on the start of 2017's Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice, Poland and the conclusion of Dota 2's StarLadder Season 3.

Four teams left in 2017's first major CS:GO tournament will look to set the agenda for the game with a dominating finish in Atlanta this weekend.
