The full schedule and format for the first big event after the off-season, DreamHack Masters Malmö, taking place from August 30-September 3, was released by the organizers.

All 16 teams of DreamHack Masters Malmö have already been determined, with 12 receiving direct invites for the $250,000 tournament, including the current top five according to our ranking - SK, Astralis, FaZe, Gambit, and G2.

Natus Vincere and FaZe will be among the debuting teams in Malmö

NiP won Malmö last year coming from the second semi

2017-08-10 20:12

ah, i know, i mean imo its not fair at all, if u win 2-0 fast ok, but if you go 16-14, 14-16, 16-14 you're going to have a decrease of performance and it can affect the final result

2017-08-12 02:37

NiP actually went 16-14, 16-19 and 16-10 so yeah, not impossible for the second finalist to win the whole thing

2 bo1 losses sends you home

2017-08-10 18:48

looks pretty good tbh I'm glad you need to win a BO3 to get into the playoffs imo it's better than the loser getting to play a BO3, but that's just me schedule wise the 2 options are mutually exclusive, I think // tbh it looks better than the major with its stupid swiss system. all the top teams are there, too.

2017-08-10 18:52

2 streams ? pls not like esl :(

2017-08-10 18:51

A major should have this, or a double elimination system.

It will be a good event, I'm willing to see how the teams will be performing after the break.

2017-08-10 18:57

Let us know group pleaseee

Fingers crossed for a nV-G2 confrontation.

2017-08-10 18:59

elimination match bo1? srsly? we could see any team being eliminated on group stage includin sk, astralis, faze............

2017-08-10 19:15

2017-08-10 19:19

renegades please don't suck this is a perfect opportunity to fuck some ass

2017-08-10 19:28

Dreamhack need to change the Semis and Finals schedule, in upcoming dreamhack events. Both on the same day will be hectic for some teams and Finals should be a Bo5, enough of this bo3.
