DreamHack Open Rotterdam 2019 announced

From October 18-21 next year, the Dutch city of Rotterdam will host a new stop on the DreamHack Open circuit with a $100,000 prize pool, the Swedish organiser has announced.

The event will be a part of the Rotterdam Games Week and feature the 'gaming expo' - including a BYOC LAN - usually associated with DreamHack Open events. Action will take place in the Rotterdam Ahoy, a multi-purpose convention-centre and arena that hosts sports events as well as concerts.

DreamHack Open comes to the Netherlands

The Ahoy has prior experience with hosting esports events, as it hosted the sold-out EULCS finals in League of Legends in 2016.

Apart from this, though, the Netherlands is somewhat untrodden territory, especially concerning bigger CS:GO tournaments, meaning that fans from the Benelux countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) will be pleased to learn that DreamHack have announced the stop in Rotterdam.

only 100k .... sad

lol you are right, didn't notice. Seems a little bit early to announce it. The "hype" will be far gone by the time the tournament is actually played.

major is not equal to a $ 100 000 Dreamhack Open tournament... People are always gonna be hyped for an upcoming major (especially in a city such as Katowice), the same can't be said regarding DH Open tournaments though... Especially when they announce it a year before it's actually gonna be played.

It totally depends on the location. I think Rotterdam is great for a Dreamhack event, which is not only about CS of course.

Yes and the viewers will be sitting in ''kukorica'' and eat goulash while watching cs. Or the venue will be taken apart during the finals by the gypsy citizens.

But even 3rd world countries like Greece* and Poland have had events. So Belgium should make sense as a host, especially with their scene. * I don't know if any of them were DH, but they sure had more prize money than this, lol.

Polish infrastructure better than Belgian? I was don't know this details. I just looked it up and even Lithuania, Belarus, Serbia and Mexico have had (bigger) CSGO events, lol. Dunno if they were with crowds or not, but still. Wadafak.

Amsterdam is more like a anarchist theme park these days, but that will change hopefully. Red Light district will go, tourist taxes will increase, residents are reclaming the city. I did my internship in Amsterdam but I live in Rotterdam and boy it was nice coming home every night.

I haven't been to Rotterdam yet. But I totally feel you. Coming from Sao Paulo, one of the busiest cities in the world, I think that Amsterdam is a village. I can bike everywhere, the city is clean, everything works. I fucking love it. I've met a few dutch people that are not from Amsterdam and they tell me how "crazy and dirty" amsterdam is and it just doesn't make any sense to me. I need to visit Rotterdam, Utrecht to get a feel of what you mean. Unless you're talking about expats and immigrants XD

Because its a new venue, in a new country? It's not just a csgo announcement, but entire lan announcement. They need to give Dutch people a heads up about the lan. You can just play there like regular dreamhack.
