1. The International 2024 (Dota 2)
For Dota 2 fans, there’s no need to explain — The International (or simply TI) is the eSports Super Bowl. Millions of fans and some fierce competition are drawn to this event.
This year on TI is looking as if it might be even larger, with a mouth-watering prize pool that will also make most veterans salivate.
Which of the teams you support will weather the gauntlet and walk off with the Aegis of Champions? Who knows!
You can be sure of one thing, though: seeing the pros use their insane skills to pull off the sickest of plays will make you feel better and worse about your clicking speed all at once.
2. League of Legends World Championship 2024
Ah League of Legends Worlds, where the best of the best from around the globe clash to determine who is number one.
An event that is one non-stop action-oriented, strategy-laden, and once in a while, right before someone breaks out into a funny dance if they get a little too hyped-up over a string of moves.
Crazy Plays, Fierce rivalries, & probably a few upsets that will leave fans crying & cheering all at the same time, are coming this year.
So, put it in your calendar and prepare some popcorn, enjoy the ride. It’s League time.
3. Valorant Champions 2024
If you are a fan of Valorant, than Valorant Champions is the time to collect your viewing experience. These pros will make you revaluate your headshot prowess and in the best way possible, if you think you could do a pretty good job.
Expect high-stakes match play for this year’s competition, with teams traveling from across the globe. And honestly, who doesn’t want to see agents utilize their skills to pull off some crazy plays?
All I can say is just prepare yourself because you will probably find yourself shouting at the screen, “How on earth did she even do that?!” ”
4. IEM Cologne 2024 (CS)
For Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fans, IEM Cologne is the event you’ll want to watch. An event for lightning-fast reflexes, split-second decisions, and that gratifying click when you land a well-placed shot.
All CS, the best of the best are competing against one another in familiar maps. And, as usual, lots of high-stakes action and a few shocking moments that might have you standing up screaming, “Did that just happen?
5. PUBG Global Championship 2024
Finally, but certainly not least, PUBG Global Championship takes to the battle royale skies (figuratively, given all those parachutes).
This is where the best teams battle against each other to outplay, outgun, and outlast until there is one remaining team.
Seeing the map shrink, seeing the tension build, and seeing the final players get down to that final nerve-wracking circle?
Think of it the same way you would experience a thriller movie — except live and with way more excitement.
