eSports Weekly Events Preview 03-09 October

Again, our weekly events preview is overshadowed by the ongoing League of Legends World Championship and the final group battles of it. However, in the upcoming week, we have some very intensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive events, along with the Royal Arena DotA 2 Finals. We present you our eSports Weekly Events Preview article for the period between the 3rd and the 9th of October.

Royal Arena

Royal Arena #1 is the first competition in a series by the namesake organizer, Royal Arena. The competition starts on the 1st of October, 2016, with an eight-team qualifier, followed by the playoffs that will take place on the 9th and 10th of October. With two invited teams, Escape Gaming and Ad Finem, this small event seems to be very interesting to all DotA 2 fans.

World Championship 2016

The best international Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams will compete for the prestigious World Title. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, will host the event from the 5th till 9th of October. The format is different than last year, consisting eight teams instead of sixteen. It will be interesting to see if France will be able to defend their world title and win the World Championship for the second time in a row. Fabien “kioShiMa” Fiey needs to lead his teammates and win over the strong Danish team. Currently, Denmark is represented by three Heroic players – Valdemar “valde” Bjørn Vangså, Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander, and Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer.

League of Legends Worlds

Since the first matches from the League of Legends Worlds Groups are already in the past, we are looking forward to the deciders in each of the groups.  Although we saw some unexpected upsets of the favorites, we expect the payback from the best teams in the final phase of the groups. Maybe the most interesting match will be the battle between the Brazilians from ITZ and EDward Gaming on matchday 7. The first match ended in the favor of the Brazilians and it was a huge surprise. Because of that, this is the match that we have chosen for the Match of the Week article. Don’t miss it!

IeSF World Championship 2016

The Indonesian city of Jakarta will be host of the international Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event between the 6th and 9th of October. Teams from all over the world will compete for the solid prize pool of $20,000. Although most of the teams are considered as tier 2 or 3 teams, we expect some interesting battles and a good championship in this beautiful country.

WESG 2016 Europe & CIS Regional Finals

At the same time, we have the regional finals of WESG for Europe and CIS. The difference here is that some of the best teams will take a part of the event. Virtus.Pro needs to win after they lost against Natus Vincere at ESL One New York. Astralis, EnVyUs, and Godsent will try to beat the Polish shooters and take first place. This concludes our eSports Weekly Events Preview for the fist week of the October with this tournament. We wish you a pleasant viewing and hope that your favorites will win!
