DreamHack has confirmed that it plans to host a CS:GO tournament of major proportions in Stockholm during the first months of 2016.

After previously announcing a series of events for 2016, which include stops in cities like Leipzig, Bucharest and Austin, DreamHack is planning to create a new event circuit, called the DreamHack Masters, which will not be confined to one specific location.

The first event will be held in Stockholm during the first half of 2016 and will, according to DreamHack, feature "the biggest stages" and a crowd of over 10,000 people.



DreamHack Masters will be hosted on a major level

DreamHack hopes that the Masters events will be featured in the major circuit, a decision that is in the hands of Valve.

"You never know how Valve reasons, but we will guarantee that it will be on a major level," Tomas Lyckedal, DreamHack’s Business Development Director, told Aftonbladet. "We can’t give an exact date as we don’t know which tournament would receive that status, and we don’t want our plans to clash with other organizers."

Last month, DreamHack hosted in Stockholm the offline qualifier for DH Open Cluj-Napoca, which is currently in its first day.

The 2016 DreamHack circuit will kick off with an event in Leipzig, Germany, from January 22-24. It will feature a CS:GO tournament, with more details about this competition due to be revealed on November 15.
