HellRaisers have secured a spot at DreamHack Open Tours after defeating Tricked 2-0 in the grand final of the European qualifier (16-13 on Nuke and 16-9 on Mirage).

Featuring a single-elimination bracket, the closed qualifier for DreamHack Tours consisted of eight teams, four coming from an Open bracket played out on Saturday and four invited by DreamHack.

There were a few surprising results in the first round of the bracket, with HellRaisers being forced to go to a third map to beat Rogue Academy, and ENCORE besting Kinguin on two maps.



HellRaisers through to DreamHack Tours

Tricked were the first team to reach the grand final after moving past ENCORE 2-0, with HellRaisers following suit after surviving a three-game thriller against FlipSid3 Tactics thanks to a great display from Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow (1.42 Rating, +25 KDD).

In the grand final, it was Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk who led the charge for HellRaisers, racking up 31 kills on Nuke to put his team in the lead. Vladyslav "⁠bondik⁠" Nechyporchuk followed that up with a strong showing on Mirage to inspire his team to a 16-9 victory and a 2-0 success.

The news comes a great boost for the European mixture ahead of the SL i-League StarSeries Season 3 event, where FaZe will be their first opponent.

The final team for DreamHack Open Tours, running from May 6-8, will be determined by the North American qualifier, which is currently in the semi-final stage. The list of participants for the $100,000 tournament now looks as follows:
