DreamHack reveals more Open info

12-1-2016 19:09

DreamHack has announced more information about the ZOWIE Open circuit for 2016.

The DreamHack Open event circuit, sponsored by ZOWIE, will span five worldwide stops, starting with the tournament in Leipzig, later this month.

With $100,000 at stake in each event, DreamHack ZOWIE Open will give away a total of $500,000, on top of the $500,000 that will be at stake at the two Masters events, which were announced last week.

DreamHack Leipzig is the first event in the Open calendar

Each stop will also feature a similar tournament format, with eight teams split into two GSL groups and the top two sides from each group advancing to the single-elimination playoffs.

Below you can find the dates for the Open circuit:

DreamHack Leipzig - January 22-24

DreamHack Austin - May 6-8

DreamHack Summer - June 18-21

TBA - Dates and location to be announced

DreamHack Winter - November 24-27

The prize distribution for these events looks as follows:

1. $50,000
2. $20,000
3-4. $10,000
5-6. $3,000
7-8. $2,000

Three other Open events will also be held this year, none of them featuring CS:GO, however, as they will be focusing on other titles. Below you can find the dates for these events:

DreamHack Tours - May 14-16
DreamHack Valencia - July 14-17
TBA - Dates and location to be announced

You, rumanians are still suffering from overcompensation. No problem, you are living in a land which belonged to another country, for about 1000 years. Just try to deal with the fact that it wont be yours just because you got it as a gift after the 1st world war. You never fought for your own land, so ye. Overcompensation at its best. (Your 'nation' could not, and did not do anything against Hungary, just after we got destroyed by others. Fact.)

It has been ours for 2000 years since before the roman empire conquered it. Keep your smart ass out of other continents' business.

2016-01-12 19:28

ye I know, I thought he was talking about not being a DH event (Cause he also mentioned Bucharest which is not in the list)

2016-01-12 19:33

No csgo at dhtours ?

happy's deagle ace will remain one of the most exciting rounds for me to watch in csgo history

csgo pins in Leipzig?

How does HLTV know the other events will not held any CS tournaments? FACEIT can still choose them as their LAN finals right?

2016-01-12 19:23

Because DreamHack announced so.

2016-01-12 19:24

Players will play with zowie mices like Cologne 2014?

Looking at the dates of the events you can probably already tell DH Winter won't be a major again? EDIT: Well not sure it depends on that TBA event which I was guessing DH was not announcing in case they can use it as a major event

Dreamhack Bucharest Dreamhack Cluj-Napoca Cluj-Napoca will probably be a major again since DHW is a multi game event (SC2, Hots, Dota2, Smash, HS etc etc), and Valve seems not to be a fan of those anymore according to SirScoots ( twitter.com/SirScoots/status/66446216520..). It seems likely considering all majors since Cologne 2015 has been CS only, even the upcoming MLG major is CS only. Probably why Cluj got to be the major instead of DHW 2015.

PLAY FOCUS WIN

TBA Is going to be major confirmed :d

Wish I could take the credit for it, but its all by our Video Director, you might know him as Xenoq, he's done lots of cool stuff, go as far back as the JAEGARN 1.6 movies if you remember?

2016-01-12 22:09

I think every tournaments from now on should have a portion of its prize pool go towards hosting a premier league to give new teams incentive to go full time. Honestly this should be mandatory.

Shitty prizes as always, as long as CSGO tournaments maintain this amounts of prizes I think CSGO will never be as big as Dota2 or LoL .. CSGO NEEDS MORE MONEY!
