FaZe Clan have pulled out of DreamHack Winter, according to a press release on DreamHack's website. The release says FaZe felt their schedule was too crowded to make the event.

"We regret to inform you that FaZe today have pulled out of the tournament," DreamHack stated. "The team has deemed that their schedule is too busy at the time and thus will not be attending the event in Jönköping, Sweden."

The tournament organizer goes on to say that Team Kinguin and Epsilon eSports will compete at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday evening to decide who will replace FaZe at DreamHack Winter. The two teams placed third and fourth at the initial closed qualifier for the event, where they just narrowly missed their opportunity to be seeded.

FaZe Clan are set to compete at the iBUYPOWER Masters from Nov. 12-13, and if they make the Top 4, they will be seeded into IEM Oakland on Nov. 16-20. They are also competing in The Esports Championship Series, which runs until November 25. DreamHack Winter is taking place Nov. 24-27.
