The biggest esports event of the year is just getting started ⚠️😲
Big news! We’ve finished the backend tools that will allow us to start adding support for new games to Juked, and we will slowly begin to feature tournaments in new titles such as Rocket League, Rainbow 6, and Street Fighter V. In the immortal words of Tychus Findlay: Hell, it’s about time.
🌟Top-Tier: DreamHack Masters Malmö
Just days after the conclusion of ESL One New York, international Counter-Strike teams once again convened earlier in Malmö, Sweden for DreamHack Masters Malmö, another tournament part of the Intel Grand Slam Season 3.
This tournament isn’t just about the money, although $250,000 is nothing to scoff at — the first-place team also gets seeded into IEM Katowice 2020. IEM Katowice is always one of the most hyped and memorable CS:GO events of the year, so getting seeded this early is actually pretty huge.
You know the drill, with $250,000 on the line, pretty much every major CS:GO squad is in attendance. Tournaments favorites like Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses (hot off their win last week in New York) are, surprisingly, already eliminated, while Astralis, ENCE, NiP, Fnatic, Na’Vi, Vitality, and underdogs FURIA Esports and Grayhound fight onwards.
This event tees up storylines a-plenty: with Astralis the last of the “big 3” CS:GO teams alive in the bracket, can they cement their dominance? Or will we see another major upset for a second week consecutively?
The tournament continues through October 6th, so there’s still plenty of action you can catch; watch the event live on Juked.
✨EPIC: LoL Worlds Play-ins & The Big House 9
Worlds Play-Ins
The past two weeks have been huge for big for Overwatch and CS:GO, but esport’s biggest event of the year is just getting started with LoL #Worlds. After a year of hard grinding, League of Legends legends (get it?) now head to arenas in three different European countries to determine the best team in the world. The Play-Ins are essentially a last chance qualifier for LoL squads from across the globe and, in particular, those hailing from non-central countries and regions like Japan, Brazil, Turkey, and South East Asia. Play-Ins started earlier this week and continue through October 8th, so if you’re just catching up now you can catch the VODs on Juked.
The Big House 9
Arguably one of the best Smash events to watch all year, The Big House 9 returns to Detroit, Michigan featuring Singles and Doubles for Smash Ultimate, Melee, 64, and Rivals of Aether. TBH is run by legendary tournament organizer Juggleguy, and yeah… it’s going to be amazing. Don’t know why? The biggest names in every game are showing up: Hungrybox, Leffen, Plup, M2K, Mang0, Tweek, Light, Nairo, and Samsora.
⚙️ THE GRIND: Rainbow 6 Pro League & RLCS
Rocket League Championship Series Season 8
Rocket League returned with its 8th competitive season last Saturday and, like the title, is moving into the regular grind from now until November 3rd. Major esports teams like Cloud9 G2 Esports, Rogue, Dignitas, compLexity, TSM, and more are all fielding rosters this time around. Anywho, you can find the schedule here, and make sure to tune in this weekend on Juked.
R6 Pro League Season 10
Also returning to our daily grind section, we have the Rainbow Six Pro League which is approaching its final in a couple of weeks. DarkZero stands at the top right now with 9 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, but Evil Geniuses and Team Reciprocity are catching up with 6 wins each. Tune in each week as the league ramps up to its big finale in Japan this November.
