Money and a trophy aren’t the only things on the line for the participating teams, as the eventual champions will also claim a spot at the ESL Pro League Season 18 Conference stage.

Teams will be split into two groups of four each and will follow a double-elimination GSL format, with the top two teams advancing to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Tickets for the three-day event will go on sale starting December 12, Monday, on the official DreamHack website.
