DreamHack have announced that Tricked eSport will replace Gambit Esports at DreamHack Tours 2017.
DreamHack Tours 2017 is set to take place on May 6th-8th in Tours, France. Gambit Esports were one of the six invited teams for the $100,000 event but as per the organiser's announcement, as a result of their flight delay coming back from DreamHack Austin 2017, Abay "HObbit" Khasenov was unable to obtain a Schengen visa.
With Gambit out of the event, their spot is given to Danish side Tricked eSport who finished the European qualifier second. Tricked have been assigned to the same group as Gambit - Group B, where they will be facing
G2 Esports,
Team EnVyUs and
HellRaisers.
With this last-minute replacement, new groups for DreamHack Tours 2017 look like:
Group A | Group B |
---|---|
