DreamHack have revealed invited teams for DreamHack Open Valencia, taking place from July 13-15.

The next DreamHack Open stop is set to take place in Valencia, Spain, from July 13-15, with eight teams battling for $100,000 in prizemoney, as is customary for the Open circuit.

In late May, an Iberian qualifier took place with KPI topping the single elimination bracket after defeating k1ck, AlienTech, and Giants on their way to clinching a spot in Valencia.

Five direct invites have now been revealed by the organizers, with Ninjas in Pyjamas, HEROIC, and Envy accepting the invitation alongside CLG and Misfits.

EnVyUs will travel to Valencia next month

Two more slots remain to be determined via qualifiers in Europe and North America, which will once again be played across two stages, with top four teams from the open part joining four invited sides in the closed qualifier.

The qualifiers will take place this weekend in both regions, teams interested in participating in Saturday's open stage can sign up by opening a support ticket on ESEA and following a few guidelines listed here.

Here is what the list of teams for DreamHack Open Valencia looks like as of now:

Ninjas in Pyjamas	HEROIC
Envy	CLG
Misfits	KPI
NA qualifier	EU qualifier

yeah nice

No C9 no party

They already have KPI as the punching bag destined for last place, so no need for C9.

2017-06-23 18:00

LOL Rekt

2017-06-23 20:52

Doesn't make my comment any less valid, C9 has been a waste at basically every event. Winning two BO1s hardly changes that. But very mature to come in after a game and act cool.

2017-06-23 22:17

I said "rekt" to the c9 fangay, but accidently quoted you :P

2017-06-24 09:02

No jokes KPI isnt so bad as it should be, its like that gbots on ESL Barcelona where they did 13 rounds to the undefeable fnatic

2017-06-23 18:34

6 replies

I'm, sorry but KPI are not even close to the gbots we saw at Barcelona

2017-06-23 18:52

yeah maybe but here the best team is NiP and not that fnatic. Lets see

2017-06-23 19:45

If they want a chance they should start bootcamping ASAP, anyway maybe they are already, who knows. I'll be cheering for them as I always cheer for the underdogs :)

2017-06-23 22:27

They live full time on a gaming house.

2017-06-24 00:43

gBots had both mixwell and loWel, plus other good Spanish players this lineup is pure trash

2017-06-23 20:24

Where is ss? Wth dreamhack stop it

2017-06-23 20:33

Look at the invites: CLG #16 EnVyUs #17 Misfits #20 NiP #21 Heroic #22 They took the five highest ranked teams not present at the major/qualifier. Space Soldiers #25 However, the EU qualifier will be much thinner than usual, so their chances are still pretty high of making it.

2017-06-24 07:50

Ez Koosta

2017-06-23 20:36

2017-06-23 23:24

2017-06-23 23:45

Nip and heroic is also playing at cologne but doesn't matter, SS have to get their own spot themselves in Dreamhack cuz they have never managed to qualify for one.
