Joining them on the invite list are North, who will kick off the second part of a year by attending DreamHack Masters Malmö. The leader of the Danish team, Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen, stated that they will be attending three events in a row to get more experience with their new fifth, but the team still hasn't announced who that will be.

DreamHack Open Montreal will be the 7th DreamHack Open stop of the year, and will, just like the preceding Open tournaments, feature a $100,000 prize pool and eight teams. The competition will feature two GSL groups with BO3 matches in the lower bracket, followed by single-elimination BO3 playoffs.

The open and closed qualifiers will take place on August 26-27, with the best team from both Europe and North America earning a spot at the LAN alongside six invited teams. More details about the qualifiers are available here.
