DreamHack Open Anaheim invites revealed

14-1-2020 22:06

DreamHack has announced the four teams that have been invited to DreamHack Open Anaheim: ENCE, MIBR, FURIA and North.

The first DreamHack Open stop in 2020 is set, with the opening match-ups for the event in Leipzig released earlier today. The tournament in Germany will then be followed by DreamHack Open Anaheim, on February 21-23, with several teams already confirmed by the Swedish tournament organizer.

ENCE will be in contention at DreamHack Open Anaheim

The first invites went to two European squads and to two Brazilian teams that live and play in North America. The former are ENCE and North, while the latter are their country's best, FURIA and MIBR.

The $100,000 tournament, which will be played in late February at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, will also have another incentive for teams attending, which will be a slot at DreamHack Masters Jonköping in June.

Joining the invited teams will be Endpoint, who qualified for the tournament as the ESL Premiership Winter champions, although the roster that will attend the tournament is still unknow as the lineup that won ESL Premiership Winter disbanded and the British organization just announced the signing of Phoenix.

The confirmed teams so far are:

Europe Qualifier

North America Qualifier

2020-01-15 03:06

When you enter the S-tier scene with a Major Final and 2 finals at S-tier events, so you decide to bench your IGL for SunNy. And, now you end up at DreamHack Opens lmfao.

2020-01-15 15:13

Or they want confidence boost from winning a tournament.

2020-01-15 16:21

like og? pls XD

2020-01-14 22:12

he didnt sasy og tho, you actually admitted that og is better than ence lol. But ENCE is wasted spot, MIBR is wasted spot, there are better teams to add like mouz, na'vi, and we can go on. It doesnt have to be a tier 1, you can go with heroic, or big, idk. Something that atleast plays well.

DreamHack Malmö was a one exception that had top teams Becuz from my memory, there were no other big tournaments around at the same time, the prize pool was larger and was a one of out of like 10 events in the year from dreamhack

Malmö was DH Masters, this is DH Open. There’s a difference.

2020-01-15 04:11

Ex vp is better They could give them a chance..

2020-01-15 11:53

0/8

2020-01-15 12:54

btw heroic and big XD heroic thats doing worse than tier 3 rn and big that team which was created like week ago and already lost to sprout

2020-01-14 22:25

i dont mean og example mad lions maybe better :D

2020-01-15 00:53

ence still a good team for dh open man. Like they are top 15 how are they shit. Ok in terms of what they were before the roster change ye they got worse but they still a good team for dh opens

2020-01-14 22:17

Tell me 3 teams more deserving of a _DH OPEN_ invite than ENCE.

Mad Lions just rekt ence in Katowice qualifier... All the Danish teams just smashing ence when they want..

2020-01-14 22:38

Crazy XDD HAHAHA

2020-01-15 01:10

So beating a team online once makes a team instantly better than another one? Lmao delusional dane

2020-01-15 06:01

Ence have never won over Mad lions? Never, not as Tricked or Mad lions... So why is Ence better? "ence will return" yearh... not..

2020-01-15 15:47

I'm not saying that ence is better, all i'm trying to say is that using _ONE_ _ONLINE_ game as a ''proof'' that they're better doesn't really make sense. Also the 2 other games were with completely different lineups (and ence won the other one) so they're irrelevant.

2020-01-15 15:57

Im not only using that one game, but form in generel since last major. Ence have not looked good since berlin major, when mad lions are playing well together and in good form.

2020-01-16 00:52

mad lions is much better choice than ence imo

2020-01-15 00:48

They invited teams that shit the bed in the Katowice qualifiers LUL

2020-01-15 02:54

Like OG? :DDdd

2020-01-15 13:25

Now Movistar to the closer please!

Anaheim Nice city name guys Also, “will attend the tournament is still unknow” Wtf lucas?

2020-01-14 22:08

3 wasted spots alrdy

Endpoint won UK prem, so they got a spot, like Sprout winning the domestic German league, they got a spot for Leipzig because they won

2020-01-14 22:14

What is Endpoint doing there did they bought the spot or what ? Can not be based on rankings or recent results ?

4 replies

if you win your local league, ie uk prem, Meisterschaft etc, you get a invite to a DH open

Ok but they bought another team now ? Other players got the spot right ?

2020-01-14 23:26

What? The lineup endpoint picked up won UK prem, the Org didn't have a team until they signed them

2020-01-14 23:32

The articale says "Joining the invited teams will be Endpoint, who qualified for the tournament as the ESL Premiership Winter champions".

2020-01-15 13:37

a good restart from both brazilians

2020-01-14 22:21

IEM does not deserve us, dirty championship organized to privilege named teams (NaVi, Liquid among others) who are not playing anything.

2020-01-14 22:22

True, they should invite the actual great teams (furia,mibr among others) who haven't done shit in the past 2 years even though they've been playing everything.

Lul, IEM is a tier 1 tournament, the minimum they have to do is invite this kind of teams, while the others enter by other tourneys and qualifiers, if your team isn't good enough to pass through a tier 999 qualifier, just shut up.

2020-01-14 22:37

so many better teams than north to be invited...

2020-01-14 22:23

This event isn’t made for tier 1 teams

i know, but we have heroic or forze, i think in this moment thwy deserve more a invite than north

True

2020-01-14 22:41

North won the last Dreamhack open

Go Mighty Ducks!

2020-01-14 22:26

forZe > this quadra

North Endpoint Why?

2020-01-14 22:36

nice t3 tournament

Ence, from final of IEM Katowice to DH Open. Finland CS is dead

2020-01-14 22:45

Endpoint only has one player left from the roster that won the ESL Premiership, they shouldn't be playing this...

2020-01-14 22:54

2020-01-15 20:06

How the fuck north invited? Instead of heroic or madlions lol.

2020-01-14 22:55

madlions have kato but agreed on heroic

2020-01-14 23:04

North is taking over the tier 3 scene ))))

2020-01-14 22:59

EPIC

2020-01-14 23:06

Movistar Riders should have been invited

2020-01-14 23:09

Joining the invited teams will be Endpoint, who qualified for the tournament as the ESL Premiership Winter champions,

This looks ass compared to Leipzig ngl. If CoL and C9 qualify it’ll be ok though.

2020-01-15 15:01

flair checks out. Upon further research I realized that this event conflicted with Katowice which explains why only bad teams are in attendance like Furia.

2020-01-15 15:21

hahahahahhahahaahah OH, SURE DUMBOY

2020-01-18 18:27

FURIA and MIBR are above in HLTV rankings than all shit teams of Leipzig.

2020-01-18 18:30

Ok well I’m looking forward to seeing them in Katowice then since they’re obviously too good for DH open

2020-01-18 18:59

And now with Forze, coL and gen.g (with bntet), Anaheim will be good.

2020-01-20 01:23

Forze is probably the favorite although I wouldn’t count out North with MSL

2020-01-20 01:59

I think it´s a tough tournament to talk about the favourite. It´s an event with many teams with chances. For me, only Endpoint has no chances on it.

2020-01-24 14:08

lmao ForZe >This wtf invites

2020-01-14 23:14

Not all teams have to accept the invites. Both Forze and Avengar (now VP) often avoid smaller events because they do not want to risk Burnout. Also, VP already accepted the Leipzig invite, so another DH Open seems unnecessary.

very well deserved ENCE

mibr tier 99

2020-01-14 23:16

EZ4BRs, but sad to see FURIA and MIBR at tier 2 team only event (DH Open)

2020-01-14 23:18

RiP Mibr

2020-01-14 23:23

Wtf Endpoint?

2020-01-14 23:30

Sokid t4 event

NA? u mean Latin America?

2020-01-14 23:35

U created an event in the US, why u don't you invite teams like Complexity, Cloud9, Gen.G, etc to lit up the hypes?

2020-01-14 23:38

Yeee, Invite 2 brazil teams and one UK instead xDD

2020-01-14 23:51

"Joining the invited teams will be Endpoint, who qualified for the tournament as the ESL Premiership Winter champions"

2020-01-15 00:19

well for C9, they qualified for Katowice which is two days after this ends but yea I don’t understand no coL or GenG

2020-01-15 03:00

UKCS Pog

2020-01-14 23:58

ENCE ONLY GETTING DH OPEN INVITES NOW LMAOOOOOOOO

2020-01-15 00:14

2020-01-15 00:33

2020-01-15 00:44

Gen.G and C9 will qualify

2020-01-15 01:29

C9 Won’t attend

2020-01-15 02:57

time for furia to flop again. gonna go 1-2 in groups

2020-01-15 01:47

Stop inviting Ence! This snake team needs to die.

2020-01-15 01:57

Og Lost to Ago lol

2020-01-15 14:34

Hope to see OG/Mad Lions from EU qualifier. And then gen.g & chaos from NA qualifier. Assuming c9/coL won't join the qualifier.

2020-01-15 02:32

Wtf!!! 2 br teams in the same group??? u.u

2020-01-15 02:35

4 choker teams lol

2020-01-15 03:26

Lul tier 5 tournament, no one cars

2020-01-15 04:16

The fact that MiBR got invited to a DH Open shows that the team isn't a T1 team anymore even in TO eyes. Sad that a big org gets this low due to shit roster changes and overall management. Open's should be for teams that doesn't have a big org behind them, not something like MiBR
