Another busy week of Esports action is on the cards with big events in the worlds of Rainbow Six and Counter Strike: Global Offensive to look forward to.
It is the turn of Rainbow Six first of all with the Jonkoping Major in Sweden starting on Monday and running throughout the week.
And on Wednesday, attention turns to the latest big event in CS:GO - the BLAST Premier Fall Finals - and a lot can be deduced from the teams based on recent performances at the IEM Rio Major in Brazil.
Those two events dominate the week but on Friday, the Free Fire World Series also starts in Bangkok.
Rainbow Six: Jonkoping Major begins
The Rainbow Six Jonkoping Major is the standout event at the beginning of the week, starting its group stage on Monday.
The major tournament features 16 teams competing across four groups in Jonkoping and Stockholm with a prize pool of $500,000 on the line.
In the group phase, all matches are a best-of-one format and the top two teams in each group advance to the playoffs.
One of the closest betting heats of the day in the tournament is the clash between Wolves Esports and FaZe Clan, who are 10/11 and 4/5 respectively to win the encounter.

Wednesday marks the beginning of the latest big event in the world of CS:GO as the BLAST Premier Fall Finals gets started with the group stage.
Eight teams are set to compete in the tournament in Copenhagen in Denmark with six having qualified directly as a result of their performances in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups and the other two - Heroic and Fluxo - qualifying from the European and American showdowns.
The tournament begins with a double-elimination group stage in which one team from each of the two groups will be eliminated before the knockout stage.
The three other teams in each section will then progress to the tournament's playoffs and Wednesday features the first two matches in each group.
In Group A, out-of-form FaZe Clan are 4/9 to beat OG, who are 13/8 to come out on top, while IEM Rio Major runners-up Heroic can be backed at 2/5 to get the better of Ninjas in Pyjamas.
As for Group B, Natus Vincere are expected to overpower shots Fluxo and Team Liquid are 1/1 to beat G2 Esports.
