DreamLeague Season 7 for Dota 2 announced, will feature NA division

DreamHack has unveiled plans for the seventh season of their long-running Dota 2 tournament series DreamLeague.

The traditionally European-centric tournament will feature a brand new North American division. The EU division will feature eight teams, while NA will have four. Both regions will feature DreamLeague’s signature prize money per map win payout scheme.

Teams that do well in the two divisions have the opportunity to head to the DreamLeague playoffs, to take at DreamHack Atlanta 2017. The top three teams from EU will head to Georgia, while only the winner of the NA division will be featured at the tournament. There, they will be competing for their share of the $175,000 prize pool, with the winner taking home $80,000.

The teams competing will be announced by DreamLeague on Friday.

Last year, Team Liquid took home the top prize, beating Escape Gaming in the finals.
