Published:
Esports has got your back this weekend with another blockbuster round of contests, starting on Saturday.
There’s more from the FIFA Ultimate QuaranTeam tournament, while more mythical clashes await in the League of Legends, and we’ve got another round of rip-roaring action over in the Counter-Strike corner.
FIFA ULTIMATE QUARANTEAM
We’re getting to the business end of the inaugural FIFA Ultimate QuaranTeam tournament, which continues throughout the weekend.
Middlesbrough are among the favourites to go all the way, and they’re 8/11 favourites to defeat Australian side Central Coast Mariners on Saturday morning.
The competition’s founders Leyton Orient fell at the first hurdle, but some heavyweight names remain. Head to our sportsbook for the latest fixtures and odds.

Fans of the League of Legends contests won’t know where to turn this weekend, with at least six regional leagues going ahead.
They include a heap of clashes from European Championship, plus the Legends Championship in Korea, the Legends Pro League, the Oceanic Pro League and both the Vietnam and Pacific Championship Series.

EBOXING
It’s the second semi-final of eWBSS’ Heavyweight Legends tournament on Saturday, and it’s a proper fight for the ages.
eMike Tyson takes on eGeorge Foreman for a place in the final. The two were arguably the biggest punchers the heavyweight division has ever seen, and it’s eIron Mike who is given 1/5 favouritism for this one.
Foreman is the 7/2 outsider, and he’s really up against it with Tyson also odds-on at 2/7 to win by KO, TKO or DQ. The winner will take on the victor between eMuhammad Ali v eJoe Frazier on Sunday.
