Meanwhile, the top four teams from the open BYOC qualifier will fill the remaining spots.

Challenger League Teams Attending DreamHack Austin 2018

Challenger League teams can qualify for the main tournament through the open BYOC qualifier on-site. If the twelve reserved spots for Pro League teams are not filled during the registration timeline, challenger league teams will be offered a spot in the main tournament.

We encourage all Challenger Teams to use their correct name when registering for the open BYOC qualifier so we can easily identify all Challenger League teams.

Qualifying through the Open BYOC Qualifier

All teams are welcome to compete for a spot in the main tournament through the Open BYOC Qualifier which is hosted on Friday, June 1st on-site at the DreamHack Austin location. Teams must have a valid BYOC pass  – and don’t forget to bring your equipment! Four teams from the open qualifier will join the main tournament and compete for the $50,000 prize pool.
