Both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:DreamHack Dallas and DreamHack Summer have both postponed until later this year, with little surprise and following the precautionary trend set by most major esports events. The decision has been mad✤e following the ongoing concerns of a spreading Covid-19, and as a result of postponement, DreamHack Masters will no longer be co-hosted at DreamHack Summer.
DreamHack Dallas was set to take place between May 22-24, with its new date set for August 14-16 at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas. The event will feature the StarCraft II Masters, the second event of the ESL Pro Touജr with $125,000 prize pool up for grabs, several titles in the Fighting Game Championships that are open to all attendees with a va✨lid ticket, and the Indie Playground to explore new titles from Indie developers.
DreamHack Summer was set to take place between June 12-14 and will now occur from August 6-9 at Elmia in Jönköping, Sweden. There will be a similar assortment of activities for attendees, with the largest being the DreamHack 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:WarCraft 3 Open as part of the ESL Pro Tour 2020.
Lastly, DreamHack Masters has not yet been rescheduled since it was meant to be paired with another event. More details will be released in the near future, and attendees should still expect to see 16 of the best 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:CS:GO teams competing♏ f♍or a $250,000 prize pool, the ESL Pro Tour for ESP One Cologne, and the Intel Grand Slam.
A statement was released detailing the decision-making process, “While this action is precautionary, it was not a decision taken lightly,” said DreamHack Co-CEO Marcus Lindmark. “We have evaluated legislators’ decisions to temporarily suspend events where large groups of people gather, and the need for so many to shelter in place at this time — all of which have informed our decision to put the wellness of our communities f🤪irst. We will followꦬ the guidance of trusted health advisors, city officials and venue partners for our remaining events in 2020, and we look forward to sharing the experience of everything gaming under one roof again soon.”
Ultimately, the decision mirro🃏rs what has been seen around the world for all major esports events and conventions. It will be an interesting time when Covid-19 is finally under control, because so many postponed and cancelled events wilꦅl likely be scrambling to find an appropriate time to continue with their plans, and it may be difficult for every organization to capture the same market share when so much is happening in so little time.
