Following ESL, DreamHack also revealed how the winter tournament will go. The competition, which will be attended by teams from Europe, Asia and Oceania, will be held from November 30 to December 6, and its total prize pool will be $250,000.
Direct invitations to the European division were received by the top teams not only from Europe, but also from North America. The participation of Furia and Evil Geniuses was previously known, and now DreamHack has announced that their slots will be moved to the European division. Also joining the list of invited teams will be FURIA. But Natus Vincere was not on the list of teams that received an invitation, despite the fact that earlier it was mentioned among the partner teams. Thus, fourteen participants in the European division are already known, and two more will be determined by the results of the qualification matches.
The Asian participants include TYLOO, Invictus and ViCi, as well as TIGER, who qualified. Four teams have also been invited from Oceania – Renegades, AVANT and ORDER, who will be joined by qualifier Rooster.
The North American division is expected to be announced in the coming days.
