Get rdy: Competitive guide for March 13-19th

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.

Counter-Strike 2

ESL Pro League Season 23: Online Stage is over and finally we're at the LAN portion of ESL Pro League where we can actually test the narratives we've been peddling. Are Legacy legit? Can Astralis hang with the big boys? Are MOUZ genuinely going to bottle it on stage again even with the easiest run for a tier one tournament imaginable?

The answer to all of those is a sort of scrunched up face and gently tilting your hand up and down for now, but by Monday morning we'll know just how cooked MOUZ are, or aren't.

ESL Pro League Season 23 kicks off on Friday, March 13th and concludes on Sunday, March 15th. Eight teams earned the right to compete in the single bracket elimination LAN finals in Stockholm for a piece of the $275,000 prize.
