After last weekend’s Rainbow Six Siege Invitational and lots of recent action in the world of CS:GO, it’s back to the land of MOBAs with big games across League of Legends, Dota 2, and Heroes of the Storm, but with one minor exception: the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Atlanta Open.
Below you’ll find where and when you can catch all the weekend’s biggest events in competitive gaming. Let me know what you’ll be watching in the comments and if you think there’s something I missed.
Call of Duty
The CWL Atlanta Open, featuring a $200,000 prize pool, gets into its second day beginning with open bracket play at 10:00AM and pools play to start at 2:00PM EST with OpTic Gaming vs. a to be determined challenger. Matches will resume tomorrow morning at the same time, with the grand finals scheduled for 5:30PM EST.
The format is best-of-three, with over a hundred teams competing from around the world. The open bracket top seeding is led by Tainted Minds, Mindfreak, TGC Blue, and Echo Fox, but with so much competition and little room for error, who knows how the final brackets could turn out.
