Invites for DHW qualifiers revealed

FACEIT has revealed the names of the teams who have been invited to take part in the European and the North American qualifiers for DreamHack Winter.

On Tuesday, October 21, FACEIT will be hosting the European closed qualifier for DreamHack Winter, featuring the eight teams who finished in the top four of the two open qualifiers and eight other invited sides.

The top four teams from this closed qualifier will automatically earn a spot at the Swedish event, while the sides who place 5th-8th will face off in a last-chance tournament on Wednesday for the last place at the $250,000 major.

With Titan and Epsilon already qualified for DH Winter after finishing in the top eight of the last major, StarSeries finalists LDLC will be looking to join their countrymen at the event through this qualifier.

CPH Wolves, who recently qualified for the ESWC finals after changing three players, will also take part in the qualifier, along with the likes of HellRaisers, mousesports, x6tence and DH Stockholm sensation 3DMAX.

Below you can find the list with the teams that have already qualified for the European DH Winter closed qualifiers and with the eight invited sides:

Qualifier #1 Invited Teams Qualifier #2

Meanwhile, FACEIT has announced that the North American closed qualifier will be played out on Monday, October 20th. Only the winner of this tournament will earn a spot at the Swedish major.

I dont get it. Why x6tence ? They didnt do a shit for a while, and where they was on some pro scene, it was only online matches. On ESEA they show how much they are good. Its just wasting of spot.

They've done as much as dAT team, 3DMAX and LC, for example. And this isn't a dreamhack slot, it's the qualifier tournament.

thats not really true though. - dAT qualified for previous major beating tough teams (mouz, esg) - 3DMAX went to semifinals on LAN less than a month ago, beating dig and cphw, - LC failed at ESL but in gfinity they took bo1's from virtus pro and ibp. havent really seen them do anything comparable to these results

Yes, here: play.faceit.com/faceit-returns-with-qual.. (bottom) There are 2 pre-qualifiers, one yesterday and one tonight. Top 2 from each of those will go to the final qualifiers with the 4 invited teams (iBP, eLevate, NCG, and Denial), for 8 teams in total. Winner of that goes to DHW. We will be doing coverage for the final qualifiers as well. The two that qualified last night were SKDC (slemmy, fl0m, els, OCEAN, Rush) and dxm (dboorn, cud, roca, tck, and frozt)

They go to Dallas cuz they was the last choice for esea. And Dreamhack Valencia cuz is in Spain. Give me more lans that they was invited for and also name me some underdog teams that they are better than x6tence atm. They played really well last months and they deserve that spot for the closed qualifiers, indeed. Let's give them that chance. And for dhw, top8 cologne are already invited. LDLC aren't on that top8 cuz only Happy from old LDLC is playing already with the same team (need 3 at least) Sorry for bad English.

Doesn't really matter who wins the NA qualifier as I think they all would perform equally well abroad. Still hope to see eLevate go through, though.

Definitely feel that eLevate has the chops to both qualify and put up a fight against euros, especially after putting up a good run against NaVi at IronGaming. Hopefully they'll surprise at the next ESEA Lan.

+1 Every time I think of eLevate (then-Exertus) I think of how they took 14 rounds off of Na'vi (With Edward, not ceh9) @ Iron gaming LAN.

Would be hilarious if iBP doesn't win this qualifier and is out of DH.
