Challenge the Nine-Tail Fox in PUBG Mobile
In case you haven’t heard, Naruto has landed in PUBG Mobile, and fans can try their hand at a host of themed challenges at the Community House this week. The Naruto takeover is only part of the action, though, with daily competitions, 1v1 challenges and watch parties giving fans plenty of ways to get involved and keep up with the PUBG Mobile action while cheering on their favorite teams.
Start those engines with Spacestation Gaming and Team Shifters
At the International Club House, Spacestation Gaming and Team Shifters are putting fans’ Rocket League skills to the test in a week of head-to-head challenges. Fans can grab a controller and jump into Hoops Dunk Duel, Roulette Rumble and Demolition Derby, with Spacestation Gaming also running a marbles minigame throughout the week. On Thursday, Chiefbeef will take the action up a notch with a special showmatch.
Try R6 Siege for yourself
Think you’ve got what it takes to breach, clear and clutch? Ubisoft is bringing Rainbow Six Siege to the Publisher House throughout Week 6, giving fans the chance to jump into the tactical shooter and put their skills to the test.
Whether you’re picking up Siege for the first time or you’ve been playing for years, you can jump into the action throughout the week and see how you stack up.
Checkmate creators!
Chess is taking over EWC this week, with Anna Cramling, Levy “Gotham Chess” Rosman and Magnus Carlsen all in attendance. Levy and Anna will join the Chess broadcast as guests, bringing their expertise and personalities to the coverage, while Magnus will be making appearances across the arena throughout the week.
The chess action will also get the co-stream treatment, with French chess personality Théo “Gartin” Phulpin and Saudi Arabian chess creator Abdullah “vacwep” Al-Sulimani covering the competition live from the venue.
And for fans looking for a different kind of action, two of PUBG Mobile’s biggest creators will also be on hand. Barışcan “Barisg” Mercan and NcangSmith will co-stream the PUBG Mobile World Cup, bringing their audiences along for the battle royale action.
