Here are some up and coming major E-Sports tournaments.

Smash

The Big House 6:

The sixth installment of the mid-wests largest tournament is coming back to the University of Michigan to see who can claim victory in Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Super Smash Bros Melee. The tournament takes place over three days from October 7th to October 9th. With uncertainty going into the tournament about where people stand, this Big House will be another point of reference on whose number one in the world when it comes to both games. For Super Smash Bros. For Wii U there has been a constant flux of people winning tournaments and others falling out early. NRG Niaro, C9 Ally, and TSM Zero have all had histories of being on top for a certain amount of time but in previous tournaments they have all moved up and down in placements. For Super Smash Bros. Melee, HungryBox started the summer with a strong win over Armada at EVO 2016 but he has fallen short of getting other first place wins. Armada has also been on flux along with C9 Mango in terms of tournament placements but one player to look out for is Mew2king. He has been known to really step it up when it comes to Big House tournaments and it will be interesting to see if he can continue it for the sixth time.

Overwatch

Overwatch Open:

Despite being released back in May, Overwatch’s competitive scene has grown substantially and now has a $300,000 tournament whose final takes place on September 30th. This will be the first major tournament and this will be the time for a team to make a statement and try to define the direction of the scene.

League of Legends

Worlds:

For the third time the league of legends world championships will be held in North America with the final taking place at the Staples Center on October 29th. This year holds the possibility of having the first team to hold three world championships as SK Telecom looks to maintain their control over the League of legends professional scene. As more teams start to secure their spots we’ll see two teams from North America, Europe, Korea, China and teams from other places around the world. This year will be very interesting to see if the new format created for the North American League Championship Series and the European League Championship Series will help those two regions finally take matches away from either of the Korean teams.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
