Dallas to host next DreamHack Masters stop in May

18-10-2018 16:00

DreamHack has announced the next Masters stop, which will take place in Dallas, Texas, on May 28 to June 2, with $250,000 in prize money on offer.

After running two European events in 2018, in Marseille and Stockholm, DreamHack Masters will return to North America for the second time after hosting the first 2017 stop in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas will play host to the $250,000 tournament, as well as to the DreamHack BYOC festival, which has moved from Austin to Dallas for 2019, during the Masters' playoffs.

North are the current DreamHack Masters champions

DreamHack has revealed early details of the 16-team tournament. Once again, qualifiers in four regions - Europe, North America, Asia, and China - will be held to determine a portion of the attending teams, with the remainder earning direct invites.

The organizers have moved away from GSL, which has been the Masters' format since the first stop in Malmö, as instead the teams will be spread into two groups of eight, with the top three teams in each group earning spots in the playoffs.

The groups will take place on the first three days of the tournament, May 28-30, behind closed doors. The playoffs will then move on to the stage with the two quarter-finals on May 31, followed by the semis on June 1, and the grand final on June 2.

2018-10-18 16:32

pls NO NA tournaments anymore !!!

Man, love to have a DH Masters in the US but please don't host it in Texas over the summer. Choose another time earlier because it is extremely host in TX in the summer. Went to DH Open Austin this year around the same time. It was 100+ F degree outside.

2018-10-18 16:35

Yeah it's weird. Convenient for me but tbh too many in TX. Ecs Arlington s6 finals, now dreamhack masters Dallas and esl pro league Dallas finals late may

2018-10-18 17:13

Well, TX is cheap compared to NY, CA or Chicago. The food is great but I feel the organizations always pick the worst time of the year to hold the events. I know those are indoor events but people want to go out as well, not just cocooning inside the AC-ed arenas all day long.

Texas is hella cheap, the locals here are super nice. I only have Connecticut to compare it to but people in CT are impatient af and a lot of strangers will either ignite you or be rude to you if you do something they don't like. Here in Arlington at least it's super normal for strangers to wish you a good day as you're walking by even if you never see them again. K have yet to encounter one impatient stranger here
