Invites for DreamHack Atlanta closed qualifier revealed

30-6-2017 23:10

DreamHack has revealed the teams who have been invited to the closed qualifier for the upcoming Open event in Atlanta.

Two of the eight spots at DreamHack Atlanta will be filled through qualifiers, which will be held this weekend in Europe and North America.

In both regions, the qualifying process will begin with an open bracket, featuring up to 512 teams. The top four teams from the open stage will advance to the closed qualifier, in which they will be joined by four invited sides.

CLG invited to DH Atlanta qualifier

HLTV.org knows that the invites for DreamHack Atlanta itself will only be revealed after the PGL Major Main Qualifier as the North American event will run at the same time as the next Valve-sponsored competition.

Below you can find the teams who have been invited to compete in the closed portion of the DreamHack Atlanta qualifiers:

Europe	North America
Singularity	CLG
Red Reserve	paiN
Outlaws	NRG
Kinguin	Misfits

DreamHack Atlanta, the company's third event in North America, will take place from July 21-23 at the Georgia World Congress Center, with $100,000 on offer.

They can get invited if they perform well in Cologne.

2017-07-01 14:46

Pls Kinguin...

2017-07-01 00:12

EZ Misfits

wow NA actually gonna win a tournament ez 4 misifts or CLG

Considering they are both top 20, it's a shame only one will qualify

2017-07-01 07:04

oh its a fucking qualifier lul then prolly not ez event for NA

2017-07-02 17:49

2017-07-01 00:25

why pain and dont m. flamingos??

2017-07-01 00:27

Pain is ranked #42 while M. Flamingos are ranked #79.

True.. but they have more potential. Pain already traveled a lot and Flamingos showed everybody they are improving fast. Whatever. Hope pain performs well.

Well, we don't really know. Miami Flamingos never had a chance to perform on LAN like pain did in America's minor and ESEA S24 MDL Finals. Pain did well on both, at MDL they won against Ghost and almost won against Splyce twice, at America's minor they won 2-0 against Misfits. At the same time, Miami won a bo3 against Pain and had a good fight against LG, almost winning a map, even if it was online. For me, both teams are close in level, with pain having more LAN experience and Miami Flamingos having more time living and practicing in NA. I think what prevailed was the ranking itself.

2017-07-01 01:07

True. But don't forget that the match against Misfits doesn't mean much when te top-fragging player is kicked out and another bad one joins 3 days before the match. PaiN is a solid team, better than Miami Flamingos, but not solid enough to compete in top level (yet)

2017-07-01 01:34

I don't think Pain is better than Miami Flamingos. They won a BO3 against them a couple of days ago

2017-07-01 02:06

They have more experience playing leagues and tournaments. aaaand traveling.

2017-07-01 02:58

The argie boys always perform better on Lan than online. Like brazil.. i think. Not like germans lul.

2017-07-01 02:59

You have so much reason manito both team are very good <3

2017-07-02 04:42

Don't you worry, Flamingos will qualify from the open qualifier tomorrow.

2017-07-01 08:53

true

2017-07-01 16:54

ez 4 RR

2017-07-01 00:31

Wtf are these Euro invites.. can they even afford to travel to USA?

Dreamhack has the attending teams flown in and pays their accomodation as well. They don't have to pay for themselves.

I never knew that. Thanks.

2017-07-01 23:04

Np, didn't know it either until the German PGL-stream mentioned it earlier today ^^

2017-07-02 13:35

No LDLC?

2017-07-01 00:44

LDLC will maybe be invited in the actual tournament

2017-07-01 01:35

Is it applicable to use "to" instead of "in"?..

2017-07-01 09:42

Sorry, english is not my native language. I often make this mistake, though. Thanks for telling me!

2017-07-01 20:23

I thought you were a native speaker thus I asked you, because I'm trying to learn English. I didn't mean to be a smartass or a grammar nazi.

2017-07-01 22:45

lul

2017-07-02 01:02

a real gentleman

2017-07-02 04:31

oh ! What I said was not meant to be rude to you either. I was sincere :)

2017-07-02 05:05

Would be a disgrace, RR showed at Valencia that they are stronger than LDLC.

2017-07-01 11:00

CLG and Singularity will qualifie

2017-07-01 00:46

Singularity LMAO, they are the weakest of all this 4 EU teams

2017-07-01 18:05

Ok will see

2017-07-02 21:59

lets go pAIN !!!

2017-07-01 00:50

Probably easy for Red Reserve and CLG. But... GOPAIN

2017-07-01 00:55

PAIN? Really? ok.. what can i say, GL manitos.

2017-07-01 00:56

PAIN ??? Should have been Luminosity. Edit: Actually LG already had their chance for DH valencia and they screwed up.

2017-07-01 01:05

PaiN ? lol

2017-07-01 01:08

No LG, no Miami Flamingos but paiN yes? Wtf

2017-07-01 01:27

2017-07-01 01:33

They made a great job against misfit bro, but I agree with u, lg deserve it

2017-07-01 04:15

13 replies

They probably are already invited to the event, my guess is that LG and Envyus are 2 of the invited for the tournament. The other ones will be decided after the Qualifier.

2017-07-01 05:42

12 replies

Why would LG be invited over CLG and Misfits, who are both ranked in the top 20 atm? My guess is the invites will mostly come from the major qualifier

2017-07-01 07:08

11 replies

Because they're brazilian, everybody was/is thinking that IMT would qualify for the Major, and people liking or not the brazilian community is relevant, so having a brazilian team in any event is good for the event. And now that the open qualifiers for DH are already happening and LG isn't there either is obvious that they are invited.

2017-07-02 03:54

But it's just dumb how two teams in the top 20 have to qualify, and a team outside the top 30 will get invited

2017-07-02 04:18

It's also dumb that there is ppl dying by hunger while someone is driving his rolls royce at 240kmh not caring about polices cuz they'll obviously get bribed. That's how world works my frind

2017-07-02 04:36

That sounds like a personal problem

2017-07-02 04:37

one of all that illogical things going on around the globe... like a top30 team being invited but 2 top20 being taken to qualifiers

You are making absolutely no sense right now. CS GO and the real world have no relation. Ever.

csgo was made by ppl who live at real world for ppl who also live at real world (even if it doesn't look like xd)

2017-07-02 04:43

Why are you being so serious?

2017-07-02 04:45

#GoPain

2017-07-01 08:45

Will be fun to watch, but this is a tier 3 tournament at best, possibly tier 2 with CLG and Kinguin present. In all honesty, CLG or Outlaws should take this. I am unsatisfied with the absence of Space Soldiers, however. It's a shame they couldn't get an invite. :(

2017-07-01 09:02

Holy shit, such boring teams. The event schedule sucks in July.

2017-07-01 09:09

100k tournamnet and some TIER4 teams recive direct invite to closed quali im sure for 100% shiters like Kinguin just be fail somewhere in RO64 in open quali to this lan
