DreamHack Montreal to feature CS:GO

The fifth DreamHack Open tournament this year will be in Montreal.

Having missed out on London, will daps and NRG seek solace in Montreal?

DreamHack have announced on social media that DreamHack Montreal will feature CS:GO, featuring the normal $100,000. It will be the fifth and next stop in the DreamHack Open circuit. DreamHack Open Montreal was previously announced, but not with CS:GO originally.

Last year, DreamHack Montreal was won by North, who have overhauled their roster since, bringing in Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye and, for a time, Daniel "mertz" Mertz. It was also the event that initiated the demise of the former Immortals lineup as a result of certain players being late to games and the tweets of Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe directed at Pujan "FNS" Mehta.

The event will run from September 7th - 9th, which is during the FACEIT London Major. This means the competition will be of the lower tier, although there is a possibility of NRG competing in Montreal due to failing in the Minor.
