Following last week’s eSports shenanigans, and BlizzCon driving worldwide fans crazy with all the reveals, as well as South Korea’s run at the Overwatch World Cup, Week 2 will have a hard time keeping up with the eSports Events hype, but it’ll still deliver to its best. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming our way in the world of eSports.
Counter Strike: Global Offensive
Starting off with possibly the biggest game in the industry so far, Counter Strike: Global Offensive will be seeing the end of the ESL Pro League’s 6th season this week, with teams still fighting for the top spots as the top four teams are still neck and neck with the possibility of ending up as the overall winners.

The MOBA Party
Although maybe late to the MOBA party, there is a game that made their lateness exclusive, and they did it in the weirdest but smartest way possible. Tencent have recently launched Arena of Valor, a seemingly similar MOBA to League of Legends as well as Infinite Crisis for those who remember it.
Having access to both games’ assets made developing a new game in a new style much easier for the multi-billion-dollar company. Thus, they released a MOBA, on mobile devices.
Arena of Valor, otherwise known as Honor of Kings on the Chinese side hit the west by storm, as the player base exploded to now over 200 million downloads.
The game has also recently unveiled the Non-Pro Tournament which is taking place over the course of November, leading to the finals to be played at Dreamhack Winter in Sweden.

The NPT features amateur players representing their country in a fight for qualification for the top four slots, out of six participating countries. To help them, famous internet celebrities have been invited to form a second team which will be allowed to play two matches against other internet celebrities from the respective country, in a shot to give the Non-Pros an extra six points to help them qualify.
