You may have thought last weekend was massive for esports, but it was really just setting the stage for an even bigger one. There are about 50 online VALORANT tournaments, League of Legends has its grand finals for NA and EU seasons, Flashpoint is set to host its first CS:GO finals, ESL One comes to a close, and more, all happening this weekend on Juked!

Grand Finals for LCS, LEC, Flashpoint, and ESL One

LCS & LEC Spring Split 2020 Grand Finals

The time has finally come for NA and EU to crown their Spring Split 2020 League of Legends champions and the hype could not be more real. While the North American server has followed its historic trend of watching one team destroy the rest, Europe has had an incredibly unique rollercoaster of standings this split.

C9 has absolutely dominated the NA competition this split and it will be up to the winner of Evil Geniuses vs FlyQuest to dethrone the kings of the bracket.

We watched as G2 lost their position in the EU bracket to MAD Lions early in playoffs, but now there’s a chance for redemption in a semi-finals rematch for the two teams this Saturday.

This weekend will be binge-worthy since these final four games for the NA and EU regions are the most important ones to take place this year. The grand finals for each region take place this Sunday with LEC starting at 8am PT, and LCS at 1pm. You won’t have a problem switching between the two over at Juked!

FLASHPOINT Season 1

If you’ve been keeping track as we have, you already know Flashpoint has been an absolutely amazing tournament despite debuting just this year. That said, all good tournaments must reach their finals and we’re prepared for an unbelievable display of skill this Sunday.

MAD Lions suffered their first loss in the bracket on Tuesday against MIBR, but they will have their chance at a rematch if they can defeat HAVU Gaming in the lower bracket finals this Saturday. The winner of that match will face MIBR in the grand finals on Sunday for half of the mind-boggling $1,000,000 prize pool this tournament was able to provide.

If you want to stay tuned in, among all the other esports you’ll be watching this weekend, make sure to catch it all, over at our page.

ESL One — Los Angeles

League of Legends can’t take all the MOBA hype this weekend as long as ESL One holds its finals too. It’s been a long road since the start of the tournament, but we’ve finally made it to the final stretch in which 5 regions will reward their best players online.

With a $375,000 prize pool between the regions, teams have had no trouble getting their sanitized hands dirty, especially in Europe which has a majority of the pool sitting at $200,000. It’s awesome to see bigger tournaments like this one adapt to the current state of the world for you, me, and every other esports fan out there and we’ll do our part to provide you access right at our website.

GiantSlayer Series

TFT has shown to be a bit quieter in the esports scene, but that is sure to change with the GiantSlayer Series paving the way for the future of TFT fans. A 4-Week Invitational, this tournament has been featuring the best 16 players in NA and they’ve demonstrated some serious skills thus far.

Surprise! Juked is sponsoring the rest of the tournament which goes through the 28th of April. All 16 competitors have individual streams which you can catch alongside the main stream at the GiantSlayerTV channel. Also, you’re going to want to get a glimpse at the winners of the $4,000 prize pool — a record-breaker in TFT esports — all of which you can follow right here.

VALORANT, VALORANT, and more VALORANT

We saw the very first VALORANT tournaments come into existence last weekend. This weekend, we’re dialing it up a notch. There will be quite literally 6–10 tournaments running each day, and we’re doing our best to make sure we have all the most important ones easily available for you on Juked. To stay on top of them all, look no further than our VALORANT game page.

⚙️ OWL — A Battle of Angels

League of Legends Champions Korea

The LCK has finally dipped into playoffs and it honestly looks like one of the most exciting we’ve seen in a long time. With Gen.G, T1, and DragonX looking favorable for a top position, it’s hard to say who will reach the top. That said, brackets will be set in stone after kt Rolster vs Damwon this Saturday to finish off the spring split.

Overwatch League

I think we’ve seen this somewhere before… This week in the OWL, we return to a classic grudge match between the Los Angeles Gladiators and the Los Angeles Valiant. The two teams hold somewhat differing records with the Valiant at a worrisome 9–14 and the Gladiators at a solid 8–10. Find out who truly deserves the LA territory this Thursday when the game takes place.
