International squads and Vireo.pro through to DreamHack Open Winter Closed Qualifier
The open qualifier for DreamHack Open Atlanta has concluded, and the advancing teams are Vireo.pro, INTZ, Bravado, and oNe.
As always, the open qualifier was not without drama, as Whatever It Takes received a forfeit win over Singularity due to the recently-signed team not showing up to the server on time.
Though WiT did advance to take on oNe, they did not put up much of a fight, as the Brazilians stomped on them to the tune of 16-3.

The match ups for tomorrow's Closed Qualifier, which will commence at 2 PM EDT are as follows:
| eUnited |
vs. | Vireo.pro |
| Spacestation |
vs. | INTZ |
| Luminosity |
vs. | Bravado |
| Rogue |
vs. | oNe |
Dust2.us knows that while eUnited will be playing their first matches with Pujan "FNS" Mehta since he joined the team, they will not be at full strength, on account of Kaleb "moose" Jayne attending the WESG Canada Regional Finals. Instead, the team will field Mitch "mitch" Semago.
Additionally, with rumors of Rogue having interest in Danish in-game leader Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen recently swirling, it will be interesting to see who they have in the server tomorrow. The team are currently signed up with Kevin "kRYSTAL" Amend.
