Upcoming DreamHack winter to have a $50,000 Overwatch tournament
Overwatch is getting one more tournament before the end of this year apparently, and it will be taking place in noneother event than DreamHack.
DreamHack’s Overwatch Championship Winter 2016 will feature eight teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool on Nov. 24-27. The eight teams must survive an open qualification process held online in separate Europe and North America regions, as well as another BYOC qualifier live at the event. The European qualifiers will run on Oct. 9-10 with the Americas coming on Oct. 11-12. Each online qualifier will feed two teams into the main event where they’ll be joined by four teams from the BYOC.
This event should provide a great chance for new talent to gain recognition, considering some of Europe and America’s top teams will be in Korea competing in the first season of Overwatch competition on OGN, Overwatch Apex.
