Due to the ongoing restrictions still imposed across the world because of the coronavirus, esports events will not have fans attending.

The fact that supporters won’t be attending the biggest showpieces of the gaming calendar is a tough one for teams, fans, and organizers.

But, just because you can’t attend in person doesn’t mean you can’t watch it. Eurogamer has provided a list of upcoming esports events, so you don’t miss a thing.
