DreamHack Coming to North America

After arguably ruling competitive gaming in Europe since their arrival in 2010, DreamHack has announced their intentions to make landfall on another continent: North America. The Swedish organization’s reveal was accompanied by a quick teaser video (included below) and a brand new website.

As of now, there’s little information here apart from the region. DreamHack plans to release more details this Wednesday, July 8.

Though earlier installments focused on mainstays of the “eSports” scene like StarCraft and Counter-Strike, fighters broke into the event in the later part of 2012 with Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition ver. 2012. Since then, the series has played a major part in DreamHack’s competitive gaming draw, most recently at the Summer 2015 event that saw MeltDown’s Olivier “Luffy” Hay take home the gold.

While it’s pretty likely our favorite genre will receive a nod when DreamHack heads west, nothing is concrete without word from the organization themselves. Stay tuned for more news later this week.
