Dreamhack Open Anaheim (CS:GO) starts pretty soon (Feb 21-23). I see it as a little snack to keep me in check until IEM Katowice next week. I'm excited to see Complexity play, hoping they keep their momentum.

This is definitely most exciting match of the CS:GO Dreamhack Open so far. I expect one of these teams to win the finals.

Due to coronavirus concerns, the IEM Katowice finals won't have a live audience, which is a bummer, but the show must go on. Quarter finals coming up later! Stay safe, everyone.

The grand finals is finally upon us. HYPE! Both of these teams have been on great form, I expect nothing less than a 5 round brawl.

Very surprised that's happening---especially for Melee. Apparently there's a long history of the Smash community and other sponsors trying to get something like this going, but it's all fallen apart due to tournament organizer disagreement and Nintendo subterfuge.
Here's hoping it turns out well!

Gameplay footage of Riot Games' FPS multiplayer game, Valorant, has been released. Looks pretty sick, if you ask me. I might create a separate thread just for this...

By contrast, Charles Leclerc of the Ferrari F1 team went from never having played F1 2019 by Codemasters, to practicing 4 hours daily, getting popular on Twitch, and winning his first ever F1 eSports race. He’s literally top 5 in real life and in the virtual world.

Reviving this thread to tell y'all that one of the craziest and most fast-paced matchup in top level CS:GO is happening right now. The first half of the first map is already finished and it's so intense.
Also, feel free to share any kind of matches from any game that you find interesting here. I won't spam CSGO as much here anymore, lol. The North American League of Legends Championships Playoffs is already happening, so expect me to share more of that later.
