DreamHack Bucharest 2016 will take place between September 16-18th and will host a new stop of DreamHack ZOWIE Open 2016, that will feature CS:GO, $100,000 and 8 teams attending from all over the world.

The 2016 edition of DreamHack Bucharest is worth getting excited about in advance, given that the DreamHack ZOWIE Open tournament will heat up the Polyvalent Hall stage during the event between September 16th and 18th.

PGL is committed to bring the same level of quality esports production and premium event management that its fans are used to. Gamers, professionals and amateurs alike will have the opportunity to compete in PGL’s traditional competitions. More headlining tournaments, including a Hearthstone series for the best card-slingers in the world, will be announced soon.

And of course, no DreamHack Bucharest would be complete without the special activities that keep the participants entertained throughout the three-day event: cosplay contest, Streaming Area, Secret Shop, the PGL Arena, DreamQuest, sponsor booths and many more.

More details regarding DreamHack Bucharest 2016 will be announced in the coming weeks, so be sure to follow the PGL’s and DreamHack Romania’s social media pages.
