It's been such a long summer. I just want to relax by the pool and watch some esports. Luckily, there's plenty to watch this weekend.

Many people who play Blizzard games have given at least a passing thought to applying for one of their job openings.

We knew the round-of-32 group stage of the Overwatch World Cup would commence with a live event in Shanghai this weekend.

It's been a busy week in esports as usual. The World of Warcraft esports team even unveiled a shiny new website. They don't have any events coming up this weekend, so for now you can just use it to mark your esports calendar. Here are the esports we'll be watching this weekend.

My emotional kryptonite is people being nice to little kids, so please excuse this column. After I saw Kim Phan and some of Team TeSPA visit the UCI Esports girls summer camp, I had to go lie down for a while. Luckily, I can stream esports to my bedroom, so while I recover I'll have plenty to watch.

Now that Dreamhack is over, the dog days of summer are beginning in earnest.

On Tuesday, Blizzard signed a deal with Twitch.

Those who watch the streaming service Twitch regularly -- perhaps to watch our live podcast -- are likely already aware of their partnership with Amazon.

For me, there's nothing that says "baseball" more than a small bag of warm peanuts in the shell and an ice-cold Coke.

Dreamhack Summer is one of the biggest hubs for esports every year.
