Get rdy: Competitive guide for October 31-November 6

The weekend is almost here and that usually means events and competitive matches are in full swing. With this season's packed schedule it is easy to miss something, so we've compiled a weekly planning guide to keep track of what is going on.

The big event taking place this weekend is the conclusion of FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2. The LAN features a $1,000,000 prize pool and the final three days will be open to a live audience at the Sava Center in Belgrade, Serbia.

The playoffs started on October 28th with thrilling back-to-back underdog upsets. Team Yandex and MOUZ both toppled Tundra and Falcons respectively. Yandex then went on to overpower MOUZ for a top-three guaranteed finish. Not bad at all for a team that was straddling the tier 2-3 scene last season. Support player Martin "Saksa" Sazdov is standing in and the addition of Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov and Arman "Malady" Orazbayev seems to be working well for this Eastern European team.
