The list of teams and the talent that will be working at DreamHack Open Valencia have been announced. The likes of Tres "stunna" Saranthus, Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill, and Conner "Scrawny" Girvan will be hosting, analyzing and calling the action, while the likes of AGO, G2, and North will face off for the lion's share of $100,000.

The eight teams will play through a GSL bracket in two groups of four, with the opening and winners' matches being best-of-ones while the elimination and decider matches will be best-of-threes. A best-of-three single-elimination playoff bracket will round out the tournament.
Notably, North will attend the event with Óscar "mixwell" Cañellas in place of Daniel "mertz" Mertz as they look to test themselves as an international roster, giving mixwell the opportunity to play in front of his home crowd and possibly hinting at future changes for the team.
