DreamHack Austin 2017 Will Feature Both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Street Fighter V Tournaments

During their announcement of tickets going on sale, DreamHack has confirmed that DreamHack Austin 2017 will have tournaments for both Street Fighter V and Super Smash Bros. Melee running during the course of the event. According to the official DreamHack website, Melee and SFV were the most popular tournaments alongside Hearthstone, so due to the number of prior entrants they will be returning to next year’s event. The event will run from April 28-30th, at the Austin Convention Center.

Street Fighter has had a presence at DreamHack since the days of SSFIVAE, while Melee made its grand entrance at DreamHack Winter last year, which saw Hungrybox’s landmark win over Armada in the PAL version of the game. Melee is also returning to this year’s DreamHack Winter with the Smash Championship, complete with $30,000 prize pool, but no Street Fighter V event has been announced, probably due to the proximity of that event to the Capcom Cup.

You can now buy tickets for DreamHack Austin over on their site. Unfortunately, due to the massive demand for tickets, the early bird pricing has finished–so a three day pass will cost $92. More information about each tournament will become available as we approach April 2017.
