2017’s breakout battle royale game comes to the Oracle Arena in Oakland for its first Intel Extreme Masters tournament.
Even if PUBG is all some people ever seem to talk about though itâs not the only thing going on this weekend. The Rainbow Six Pro League will have its third season championship while top Dota 2 teams compete in one of the gameâs strangest new modes. EA might have taken microtransactions out of Battlefront II for the time being, but esport organizer MoonduckTV has decided to make an entire Dota tournament out of them.
