What To Watch This Weekend: Tekken 7, Dota 2, And Gwent
As most of us look forward to the holidays, esports tournaments refuse to go quietly into the night. We have events coming up right up until it's time to spend several hours with your family or not, so if you need something to distract before (or during) that time, look no further.
This week's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive major is the ECS' fourth season, in which teams from across the world battle it out in Cancun for their share of hte $750,000 prize pool. (Stream and Schedule)

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
