What To Watch This Weekend: Extra Life, Blizzcon, And The Red Bull Battle Grounds

No matter what you're into, this is weekend is going to go by quick. Whether you're into intense competition, want the latest news for some of your favorite games, or just want to sit back and be a charitable patron, there's more than enough to watch this weekend.

First, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Game Informer's own Extra Life stream, which is currently underway and will marathon a number of video games and activities for a whole 25 hours! Come and join the magic, and donate to Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare to see our editors do weird things! (Stream / Schedule)

Next, we have Blizzcon, which will not only have a number of panels, events, and activities centered around all of Blizzard's franchises. It'll also house the biggest tournaments in the world for Overwatch, StarCraft, Heroes of the Storm, and more. (Stream and Schedule)

While those tournaments are wrapping up, the Dota 2 ESL One in Genting is just starting up, with qualifiers taking place all weekend. This'll be a good chance to see each region's best teams fight against each other ahead of the Boston Major next month. (Stream)

In fighting game news, the Capcom Cup North American Regional Finals are this weekend at the Red Bull Battle Grounds. After this, there's only one more stop on the Pro Tour before the Finals in December. (Stream / Schedule)

FInally, we have the RCLS Regional Playoffs, which will see the 4 best teams from North America and Europe fight for the right to go to the league's grand final. North American teams play today, and European teams play tomorrow. (Stream)

That's it for this weekend! Let us know if we missed anything in the comments, and please go watch and donate to our Extra Life!
