series was one of the most popular shooters around, and it helpedlay out the
foundation on which the early days of esports would be built on. With the
latest release of DOOM being met with positive reactions, the new Quake
Champions aims to follow that up in a big way.
For those who are not too familiar with the
franchise, Quake is a series of multiplayer arena shootersin which the goal is
to score as much kills as possible. There were other game modes as well, one of
which was the chaotic capture the flag. Quake Champions aims to recapture the fast-paced
and gory action of the previous games, which would definitely translate well
into HD.

Tournament is also another big shooter during the early 2000s that aims to come
back in a big way. Like Quake, Unreal Tournament is a fast-paced arena shooter that
looks like it could fit in the current esports scene. The game is currently on
alpha testing, but the early reviews look great, with some saying the game has
that same engaging and addictive gameplay of the previous installments.

competitive gameplay. The game is a Battle Royale type, which means that
players are deployed on the map without any weapons or equipment, all of which

intense and competitive esports gaming events around, and Marvel vs. Capcom
Infinite looks to join the party. Another installment in the famous Marvel vs.
Capcom series, the latest title aims to make the action bigger and badder. With
a massive list of characters, and lots of moves to learn, this could be another
big fighting game that could give established titles like Street Fighter V and Injustice
