How to Watch the Eternal Return Creator’s Clash Tournament

Eternal Return is taking over the weekend with an intense and exciting Creator's Clash tournament.

An interesting blend of survival game and MOBA, Eternal Return is a fun twist on the genre that is gaining traction with competitive players. This includes some iconic MOBA veterans, who will be taking on the challenge in a Creator's Clash tournament and other fun contests in a few days.

The Creator's Clash will kick off on Saturday, June 8 at 7 PM PST, starting with two exhibition matches. This will be followed by three additional matches with seven teams competing over five rounds, all on the North American server.

Before this, there was a lead-up to the main event that featured popular esports creators like Doublelift, a former pro League of Legends player, and IKeepItTaco and Bustin. Mythic's Talent Manager commended the creators for putting on a "fantastic, high-level gameplay show" ahead of the tournament.

According to a press release from the Creator's Clash, the pros were unfamiliar with Eternal Return at the time but used their League of Legends prowess to make wild plays. And when they did make mistakes, they were able to laugh about it and then learn new tactics. Their control and teamwork combined made the performance very "exceptional" to watch. Check out their training sessions here.

The tournament will be streamed on the official Eternal Return channel but also the three guest streamers.

How to watch the 2024 Stanley Cup Final With & Without Cable: Full Streaming Guide

Amidst a drama-filled postseason, the 2023-24 NHL campaign is nearing an end. A new champion will be crowned in the upcoming 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final.

The playoff bracket is down to four teams—the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final and the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final.

The format of the Stanley Cup Final is simple—a best-of-seven series just like the first three rounds of the playoffs. The team with home-ice advantage (awarded based on which team had the better regular-season record) hosts Game 1, Game 2, Game 5 (if necessary) and Game 7. The other team hosts Games 3, 4 and 6.

The Rangers would have home-ice advantage if they advance past the Eastern Conference Final since they finished with the most points (114) in the regular-season standings. The Stars (113 points) would have home-ice advantage if the Panthers (110 points) won the East, and Florida can only have the advantage if the Oilers (104 points) beat Dallas.

Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about tuning in to the 2024 Stanley Cup Final:

The best-of-seven series to crown the 2023-24 NHL champion will begin with Game 1 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final on Saturday, June 8.

Every game will be televised exclusively on ABC in the United States. In Canada, the games will be aired on Sportsnet, CBC and TVA Sports.

GAME	DATE	TIME	CHANNEL

Game 6 (if necessary)	Friday, June 21	8 p.m. ET	ABC
Game 7 (if necessary)	Monday, June 24	8 p.m. ET	ABC

Every game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final will be available for fans in the United States to stream on ESPN+ and the ABC app. Both will require a TV provider login.
