2017 DreamHack Open/Austin/Qualifiers Saturday, Mar 25 1:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
We are pleased to announce that WCS ANZ Season 1 is almost here! This season there will be two qualifying slots for the region, double what was offered in 2016.
With no direct invites in season 1, the Open Qualifier will find 16 of the regions best to fight it out in a Round of 16 competition. In 2016 the Round of 16 fed into a Round of 4. This season the battlefield changes to instead find our champions in a single Round of 16 competition played out over two days.
Residency requirements remain the same, restricted to residents or permanent citizens of the ANZ and South East Asia region.
The Open Bracket will be played on March 25th with the Round of 16 occurring on the 1st and 2nd of April.
Your friendly admins Bloodyrafe and Ascarecrow are back for 2017 so be sure to reach out to them if you have any questions or concerns!
