DreamHack has announced that the upcoming Open event in France will feature a CS:GO tournament with a $40,000 prize pool.

Last month, HLTV.org revealed that DreamHack had decided to make CS:GO its main game for 2015, meaning that it will be featured in all events hosted by the Swedish company throughout the year.

The first details about DreamHack Tours, which will run from May 8-10, have now been unveiled, with CS:GO joining Starcraft II on the list of games that will be played at the event.

The CS:GO tournament will have $40,000 up for grabs, with further information, including tournament format, list of participants and prize distribution, expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

"There is no doubt that 2015 will be a huge year for Counter Strike: Global Offensive, especially after the results we’ve seen at DreamHack Winter and DreamHack Stockholm with French teams excelling," said DreamHack head of eSports Tomas Lyckedal. "Alongside the very impressive results of French players in the WCS qualifiers for StarCraft II, we are tremendously excited to bring the first stop of DreamHack Open 2015 featuring both StarCraft II and Counter Strike to DreamHack Tours!"
