2022 is well underway, and as we enter in February, we’ll be having plenty of tournaments taking place. Whether they are their games’ first LAN events in the year or continuation of an on-going circuit, February will be a busy month with plenty tournaments in esports.

However, it’s hard to keep with all events happening, dates, details and whatnot. For that reason, we’ve prepared this quick guide that will cover all major events kicking off in esports this month. Also, while there are some events already going on such as League of Legends’ regional circuits, we won’t be touching on these right now. For now, we’ll be only mentioning events that are starting this month!

So, without further ado, here are the biggest esports tournaments happening in February 2022!

APEX LEGENDS

APEX Legends fans are going to have to wait a bit until the game highest level of esports returns. However, the action starts warming up this weekend. First, we’ll be having the UMG Champions Invitational 4 starting on February 4^th and ending one day later. Then, February 5^th marks the start of the FFL Global Challenge. Featuring 20 teams from Japan and North America and a ¥2,000,000 prize pool, the FFL GC features a number of high tier teams, even!

At the end of the month, though, APEX Legends’ Global Series will finally return with the regional pro leagues. APAC North and South, EMEA, North America and South America will all have their pro leagues starting on the 27^th, and the event will only end in late March.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

After a slow January, Counter-Strike fans will have plenty of action to follow in February. After BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2022 end on the 6^th, two events will be kicking off right after it. First, the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 6, which features 40 teams and goes until the 17^th. Then, we’ll be having ESL Challenger 48 is set to take place during the weekend of the 11^th.

However, CSGO’s biggest event in February will be taking place on the 15^th. IEM Katowice 2022 is the first esports tournament for CSGO packing a $1.000.000 prize pool in 2022, and it’s going to be an incredible experience. Also, IEM Katowice 2022 will be the first CSGO tournament to have a live crowd, as the event’s playoffs stage will take place at the Spodek’s. IEM Katowice’s grand-finals will be taking place on the 27^th.

DotA 2

Fans of DotA 2 will want to tune in at the various streams covering the final stage of the first batch of DotA Pro Circuit of the year. The DPC 2021/22 Tour 1 Regional Finals for the South American, Southeast Asian and West European circuits will kick off on February 11^th and they will end on the 13^th. One week later we’ll be then watching the Chinese, Eastern European and North American regional finals taking place.

Overall, this will be a quieter month for DotA 2 than usual, but nonetheless, there’ll be some spicy matches in these regional finals. The community for the game certainly has seen better days though, and we’ll be waiting for more news regarding Valve’s plans going forward after the cancellation of the first Major of the year.

Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite biggest esports tournament in February is going to be the USD $125.000 North American Regionals. The tournament will feature 16 squads, and it’ll be played in an offline environment without a live crowd.

Besides the North American Regional, the Halo circuit in all covered regions continues. The smaller Open and Pro Series events will continue across the month, too.

Rainbow Six: Siege

Ubisoft’s premier first-person shooter esports title returns in full force this month. The Six Invitational 2022 features 20 squads, and will be kicking off on February 8^th. The Six Invitational will only end on February 20^th. So, considering the calibre of the teams in this event, and the storylines, Siege fans will not want to miss this year’s Invitational.

Shortly after the SI 2022, Siege fans will be then following SCS Season 6 Pro-Am. Featuring teams like Astralis, Oxygen, Spacestation Gaming and XSET, the SCS Pro-Am will be a great way to close February in Rainbow Six: Siege.
