The organizers of the DreamHack tournament series have announced the list of teams that will receive invitations to the closed qualifiers in North and South America. It will be a total of four teams – two from each region.
The DreamHack Open March tournament is scheduled to take place on March 11 and 14. The $100,000 prize pool will be split between the two regions mentioned above, with the majority of it ($70,000) being drawn in North America. The teams will compete not only for the cash prize, but also for ESL Pro Tour ranking points.
Eight teams will take part in the North American part, of which six will receive direct invitations, and two will pass through the results of closed qualification. For South American participants, the conditions are similar: two teams will be invited directly, and two will advance to the main stage based on the results of the closed qualifiers.
Thus, Mythic, Extra Salt, Third Impact and Secret Club will take part in the North American qualifiers, which will be held on February 25-27, along with four other teams that were the leaders of the open qualifying rounds. Of the South American teams, 9z and Havan Liberty received invitations. They will play qualifying matches Feb. 25-26.
