Last week saw a number of players perform well in the European games including Gotaga, Mickalow, Amarcod, Fnatic Eryc and Danzhizzle. In the North American games, NotVivid performed admirably with his partner, popular Hearthstone streamer DisguisedToast. Ninja, Tfue, Nate Hill, KingRichard, NickMercs, SypherPK and CouraGeJD all placed in the top 10.

The format this week is Big Bonus. It’s a duos week so everyone is in a team of two, while each elimination earns them one point. A victory royale is worth five, and if you manage to get eight kills in one game, it’s another five points. There’s no score limit: the team with the most points after 10 games wins. There’s five European games followed by five North American ones tonight, then the same again tomorrow. Here's all the European players involved along with the streams below.
