This week on Scrimfolio
Our editors pick the stories worth your time — one upcoming event to watch, and one review landing this week.
Valve backs two Counter-Strike Majors each year, and the second one is on the horizon. Our viewing guide explains how the Swiss stages filter the field, why the shorter MR12 match format makes comebacks so tense, and how to keep up when matches land in awkward time zones.
Five-a-side, one bomb and a round-by-round economy that turns every loss into a planning problem. We look at how well Valve's 2023 rebuild works as something to learn, follow and watch at the highest level.
Scored by our desk
Every score is an editorial call made after hands-on time. We weigh skill ceiling, watchability and scene health equally — and nothing on this page is sponsored.
Every round carries over into the next through the team economy, and that makes it superb to analyse. Newcomers face a long apprenticeship in maps, recoil and utility.
Cars, a giant ball and two goals. Anyone can follow it within seconds, yet the aerial mechanics at the top level take years to master. Short games keep a broadcast moving.
The draft alone is a strategy game, and the late-game swings are some of the best drama in esports. Long matches and dense mechanics make it a hard first watch.
What we offer
Form guides, roster tracking and data-led breakdowns of how competitive sides are actually performing — not just the headline results.
A living schedule of upcoming and ongoing events, with brackets, formats and the context you need to follow a season from start to finish.
Independent, hands-on reviews focused on competitive depth and spectator value. Clear scores, honest verdicts, zero paid placements.
Responsible media
We cover competitive gaming as culture and sport. If gaming is affecting your wellbeing, study or relationships, support is available — these independent Australian and international services can help.
