DreamHack Masters Winter qualifiers announced

The North American regional qualifiers will start the DreamHack Masters Winter action at the beginning of October, with the European teams playing last, in early November.

The tournament organizer has unveiled the dates for the qualifiers for DreamHack Masters Winter, the multi-regional event which is scheduled for late November and has a combined prize pool of $250,000. The open qualifiers will be starting shortly, though, with North America the region to kick things off.

Four teams will make it through the North American open qualifier on October 2-3, advancing to the closed qualifier on the following day where four more invited teams will join them in the fight for two main tournament slots.

Asia and Oceania will follow with open qualifiers on October 16-17, from where two teams will advance to the closed qualifier on October 18. Only one team from each qualifier will make their region's main event.

European action will come in last, with an open qualifier on November 3-4 and the closed one on November 5. The format is identical to the North American one, with a single-elimination bracket deciding the qualified teams.
