DreamHack Tours groups, schedule announced

The draw for the group stage of DreamHack Open Tours was made on Friday, with the eight participating teams having been split into two groups.

MOUZ, the highest-ranked team in attendance at the $100,000 event, have been placed in Group A along with other two top 20 sides in Windigo and Valiance - two teams who have developed a fierce rivalry in recent months and who will square off in the opening round.

Group B is headlined by G2 and AVANGAR, currently ranked 13th and 14th in the world, with Ghost and FrenchFrogs making up the rest of the group.

Running from May 17-19, DreamHack Open Tours will begin with a double-elimination group stage featuring a best-of-three format in the lower bracket. The top two sides from both groups will advance to the single-elimination, best-of-three playoffs.
