It's the start of the year and that means only one thing: laying out the events we want to go to over the next 12 months. Obviously, most events won't have been announced yet, but that doesn't mean we can't get a headstart and look at what is available.
If you're interested, have a look back at our favourite esports events of 2018 – and let us know what you think!
This listing will look only at the biggest stand-alone events – with Pro Leagues and smaller tournaments in different titles sprinkled intermittently throughout the year, we'll be sure to keep you updated on each of those as and when they happen.
