LDLC White, Awsomniac to DH Tours

The BYOC Qualifier for the $40,000 DreamHack Tours tournament offered up two spots to the main eight-team event, with one team going into each group respectively. Most of the teams present were French ones, including both LDLC squads, Awsomniac, melty, beGenius and more.

The most prominent team from outside of France were the Australians of Immunity, who confirmed their attendance at this BYOC among a string of other tournament attendances during their sojourn in Europe.

Unfortunately for Immunity however, their shot at qualifying for the main tournament ended after losing in the upper bracket to eventual qualifiers Awsomniac 14-16 on de_inferno, and then losing in the lower bracket semi-finals to beGenius 12-16 on de_mirage.

The first team to qualify for DH Tours were LDLC White, who defeated organisational accomplices LDLC Blue in the upper bracket final 16-8 on de_cbble. LDLC Blue dropped down into the consolidation final where they awaited a contender, and were in turn defeated by a red-hot Awsomniac, who claimed revenge after losing to Blue in the upper bracket semis.

With these results, the DreamHack Tours groups now appear as follows:

Group A	Group B
fnatic	EnVyUs
dignitas	Null element HellRaisers
FlipSid3 Tactics	Titan
LDLC White / Awsomniac	LDLC White / Awsomniac

The winner of the best-of-three seeding match to be played out at 10:00 will be placed in Group B while the loser will be placed in Group A. LDLC White have a one map advantage going into the seeding match.
