How to Vibe with Esports this Weekend š
TOP TIER: VALORANT esports makes its EU Debut
Valorant has proven it can hang with the big boy esports ever since the T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Showdown for North America, but we look to the European community to kickstart this weekend in the Vitality European Open. With big names like G2 Esports making an appearance, thereās going to be plenty of room for growth as the new tactical shooter blossoms.
Weāre looking at a moderate ā¬15,000 for the prize pool, but thatās to be expected at this point in VALORANTās life cycle. That said, the tournament, part of VALORANTās Ignition Series, is set to be one of the most exciting and competitive yet for the European region, and weāll be watching to see what new strategies and/or player/team signings come from it.
Follow all the action this weekend at Juked.gg/val.
CHECK IT OUT: CS:GO Vibes in Malta
Counter-Strike is back on the menu this week as we watch Eden Arena Malta Vibes week 2 goes down in the European servers. This 10-week league features some of the lesser-known teams from far flung regions, but features $40,000 in prizing each week. Pretty unique format if we donāt say so!
Starting today, teams will fight for the top two positions in their respective groups, which will advance them into playoffs which start on Sunday. These teams are hand-selected every week so you know itāll be worth it to set a reminder at Juked and check-in.

More Rainbow 6 than you can shake a stick at

āļø THE GRIND: Top Contenders Face off This Week
Itās like Iām having flashbacks to Season 3 because Cloud9 vs TSM goes down this Saturday and thereās nothing that can cut the hype. This is an absolutely classic matchup and both teams have solid rosters going into the match, but weāll have to wait to see if TSM can live up to its legacy.
G2 has lost their domination over the EU server and theyāre on a mission to get back whatās theirs this weekend as they face MAD Lions. Both teams sit in the top 3, but this will be one of G2ās biggest moments not to choke as they scramble their way back up the ladder.
A tale as old as time: number one vs number two. Kingzone DragonX defends their top spot in the LCK this Saturday against Damwon who sits in second by a single game. Damwon has come a long way since last season but they have one more obstacle before they can reclaim their former glory.
This Friday the New York Subliners defend their territory against the Minnesota RĆøkkr who sit only two spots above them in the leaderboards. If the Subliners can pull a victory out for their home turf, they just might have a chance at breaking into the top half of the leaderboards.
