DH Masters Las Vegas announced

26-10-2016 18:02

DreamHack has revealed DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, a premier CS:GO event that will take place in Las Vegas early next year featuring 16 teams and a $450,000 prize pool.

The announcement comes shortly after the Swedish tournament organizer revealed all of the stops for their DreamHack Open circuit, setting up a clear schedule for the coming year.

DreamHack Masters Las Vegas is going to be the second Masters event put up by DreamHack, following the successful Malmö event earlier this year. In comparison to the Open events, the Masters are defined by a larger prize pool, more teams and take place in arenas, in front of large audiences.

The competition in Las Vegas will feature 16 teams, a $450,000 prize pool (with $200,000 for the first place), and will take place from February 15-19, 2017.


DreamHack upped the prize pool for their second Masters event

The group stage will take place on the casino floor at MGM Grand over the first three days of the tournament, with the top eight teams moving on to the center stage at the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena from February 18-19.

Eight of the sixteen teams will receive direct invites, while the rest will have to earn their spot at the event through a combination of open and closed qualifiers.

The qualifiers will be split into three main regions: North America (three LAN spots), Europe (four LAN spots) and Asia+Oceania (one LAN spot).

The dates for the qualifiers are presented below.

Asian qualifiers:

India & Middle East – November 17-19
East Asia – November 21-27
South East Asia – November 21-27
Oceania – November 18-20
China – November 23-27
Closed qualifier - December 3-4 (2 invited + 6 qualified teams)

European qualifiers:

512-team open qualifier - December 3rd (top 8 qualify)
Closed qualifier - December 4th (8 invited + 8 qualified teams) 

North American qualifiers:

512-team open qualifier - January 14th (top 8 qualify)
Closed qualifier - January 15th (8 invited + 8 qualified teams)
