DreamHack Winter 2015 is quickly approaching! The world’s largest digital festival will be heading back to Jönköping, Sweden from November 26th-29th, 2015. Today, DreamHack is extremely excited and honoured to announce the DreamHack Winter 2015 Legacy of the Void Championship, featuring 24 competitors fighting for a share of $50,000 in prize money.
The epic conclusion to the StarCraft II trilogy will be officially released on November 10th—just after BlizzCon 2015—and we’re super excited to be hosting one of the first major Legacy of the Void tournaments. In a shift from the typical DreamHack Open tournament format, DreamHack Winter will feature 24 competitors, who’ll qualify through a combination of regional-based qualifiers, and wild card invitations. The winner will take home a massive $20,000 prize cheque, as well as earning bragging rights as one of the first big Legacy of the Void tournament champions!
