🌟Top Tier: Smash is Back

The Smash Bros. esports scene is arguably one of the communities that has been most negatively impacted by COVID-19, with dozens of historic events shut down and little in the way of online events to replace them.

This is exactly why we couldn’t be more excited to announce that we’re officially sponsoring Get On My Line 2020, one of the largest and most prestigious Smash events of the quarantine era taking place over the next two weekends!

GOML 2020 is going online this summer with $2500 for Smash Melee this weekend, $2500 for Smash Ultimate next weekend. And with players like Hungrybox, Axe, S2J, SFAT, Tweek, Dabuz, ESAM, and more, this is truly set to be a memorable tournament for all kinds of Smash fans.

Click here to follow and watch both tournaments over the next weekends.

DreamHack Masters Spring 2020

We’ve been talking about the DreamHack StarCraft 2 Masters the past few weeks, but now it’s finally time for the season finals. International talent have been fighting since mid-June to get herem so you already know we’ll be spectating the cream of the crop, especially with $57,000 on the table.

The group stage is finalizing over the next two days (Thursday-Friday), with the final single elimination playoffs bracket taking place this Saturday and Sunday. So take a break from Netflix because your new binge is StarCraft 2, right here at Juked.

WePlay! VALORANT Invitational (Ignition Series)

Riot has been kicking off the Valorant’s competitive scene with the VALORANT IGNITION SERIES and its next destination is the WePlay! Invitational for the competitors in Europe. We’re seeing the return of PartyParrots, G2 Esports, and Ninjas in Pyjamas, but there are some new faces for the big screen too.

Playoffs for the shares of the $50,000 are Saturday and Sunday where the top teams in Europe will be solidified.

Giantslayer European TFT Cup

Europe has the majority share of esports this week with the Giantslayer European Cup bringing top Teamfight Tactics talent together for a week-long, 8 country brawl. Not to mention, there’s also a $4,000 at stake which is actually pretty hefty relative to most tft events.

Surprise, we’re sponsoring the event! Giantslayer has amazing production and a great history with their tft tournaments and we’re excited to be working with them. If you want to support the scene and Juked, make sure to set a reminder and catch the action.

⚙️ THE GRIND: An Underdog Story Weekend

LoL Championship Series

TSM has proven it could climb its way back up the leaderboards, but consistency is important with 3 tailing it by a single game. The most pressing of which, are FlyQuest who have a match against them on Saturday.

LoL European Championship

G2 Esports has another chance to claw their way into redemption which is only 2 wins out of their reach. Their first and most important chance is this Friday against MAD Lions who have been tag-teaming the rest of the leaderboard with Rogue.

LoL Champions Korea

A classic rivalry with two of the oldest teams in the league goes down this Saturday when T1 takes on Gen.G. This will be T1’s opportunity to sit pretty with the rest of the top teams in the leaderboards, and also bring Gen.G down a notch.

Overwatch League

We all love an underdog story and the OWL has a big one with Guangzhou Charge vs London Spitfire on Saturday. While Guangzhou has no risk in this match, London Spitfire could make it into the play-in cutoffs with a dub against the Charge.

Call of Duty League

The London Royal Ravens have the home field advantage this week in their match against the Seattle Surge. The Surge only sits two matches away from them in the leaderboards so the Ravens will have to clutch up on their home turf.
