DreamHack Open March set to start

The tournament series will focus on the Americas this month with two tournaments that will kick off Wednesday.

DreamHack has revealed the initial match-ups for this month's Open tournaments in North and South America, both of which will run from March 10-14. The North American competition will begin with two GSL groups of four teams, followed by the single-elimination playoffs, while the South American tournament will see four teams compete in a double-elimination bracket.

With $70,000 on the line, DreamHack Open North America is headlined by world No.6 Liquid and world No. 24 Extra Salt, who are on a 14-match winning streak and enter this tournament with confidence running high after qualifying for DreamHack Masters Spring last weekend.
