Dreamhack Jönköping reportedly canceled, potentially for good

Dreamhack has been a Swedish institution since 2001 with Jönköping hosting the annual event. However, that tradition appears to be coming to an end as new details have revealed that ESL will be moving on.

Local outlet Jönköping-Posten revealed earlier that Destination Jönköping sent an email to several local hotels informing them that the esports events would not be held in the city next year.

Not only that, there is a chance that it might not be held ever again. "Summer will not be held in any other Swedish city either next year or in the future, and it is not certain that it will take place in any other place internationally either", wrote Destination Jönköping.

Caroline Törnblad, an event manager at Destination, also confirmed that there will not be a Dreamhack Summer next year. "Yes, unfortunately, we have been informed that Dreamhack will not be organized either in Jönköping or anywhere else in the world next summer over the next year."

Törnblad also, unfortunately, says that no more Dreamhacks are expected in Jönköping. The city was the venue for both the first and fourth CS:GO Majors. The last Counter-Strike event held by ESL in Jönköping was won by Complexity just this past summer, somewhat poetically, for their first ever win in Counter-Strike 2.
