- G2 Esports
- mousesports
- Ghost Gaming
- AVANGAR
- Valiance
- FrenchFrogs (Ex-3DMAX)
- Instinct Gaming
- Windigo Gaming
Dreamhack Tours is an international event. It’s considered to be a moderately significant tournament with usually two or more high-tier teams such as mousesports and G2, but with second-tier international teams such as Ghost Gaming and Valiance attending as well.
The local teams that were invited include G2 Esports, French Frogs (ex-3DMAX) and Instinct Gaming, all of which have a majority French roster.
The last Dreamhack Open in Rio de Janeiro was won by AVANGAR. Valiance also attended, finishing third-fourth.
Windigo Gaming and Instinct Gaming both qualified for the event via the European and French qualifier respectively.
You can catch all the action from Dreamhack Tours live from twitch.tv/dreamhackcs.
