DreamHack Montreal from August 12-14 will feature the second North American stop of DreamHack ZOWIE Open, and will host the $150,000 StarCraft II WCS Circuit Summer Championship where the winner will earn a direct seed into the WCS Global Playoffs!

DreamHack is making its first ever stop to Canada this August 12-14 with an event in Montreal, in what is sure to be the fiercest StarCraft II competition to date with the WCS Circuit Summer Championship! The event will see 32 of StarCraft II’s best and brightest gather to face off for their share of the $150,000 prize pool and a chance to earn some of the 11,000 WCS Circuit points up for grabs.

With DreamHack coming to Canada for the first time this is sure to be an event to remember, as we crown the final WCS Circuit Champion before the Global Playoffs leading into BlizzCon.

Come watch as players from all around the globe join to fight for honor and glory, and the North Americans attempt to grab a title on their home soil.

Slot Distribution

For those who can’t make it to the event, all matches will be broadcast live and streamed on www.dreamhack.tv, so be sure to mark your calendar to see who will become the WCS Circuit Summer Champion!

I've only been to Canada for esports reasons and I guess that won't be changing.

welp, after me hyping it up, it's not a Global Event.

When is the Global Even? BlizzCon?

The Global Playoffs mentioned here specifically are technically a little before BlizzCon, to get into BlizzCon you need to play there. I know this because the original version just said BlizzCon and they told me to change it to clarify.

I realize this may not be exactly what you're getting at but WHATEVER, MAN.

Are circuit events required to use the dumb single-elimination format, or is the dumbness voluntary?

It would be nice if they wouldn't use such terms as the fiercest competition and best players. But some Scandinavians could be the brightest I made it to the mod section the last time I tried something so I won't try my luck this time
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

It's a 3 hour drive. Do I have the passion for it, though?

Yay, Starcraft!

I guess the global event will either be dreamhack Bucharest, IEM Cologne or San Jose, or a completely new thing like the Alibaba stuff.

I'm not a korean elitist, just being serious here: the one who wins DH would still probably not be able to get in Code S. I don't like things like "The fiercest SC2 competion to date": it's just a laughable PR statement.

I guess adding "...outside of Korea" after every superlative would get pretty tedious.

Of course not. Koreans are banned from everything WCS related.
