- UPDATE -
The schedule for today has been changed, as Alliance won't be able to make it due to the fact that they are still travelling back home from Kiev. Today will only see one match and it will be 4 Anchors vs. Fnatic. When exactly the other matches, especially Alliance's, will be played out is unknown for now.
4 Anchors player Jerax has already voiced his displeasure with the DreamLeague admins once more, as 4ASC were apparently denied when inquiring for a reschedule. The team apparently has pulled out of Synergy League to commit for DreamLeague.
The Dreamleague looks like a joke. They didn't let us to reschedule to play Synergy league today but suddenly @theAllianceGG can't play us?

Original News
The Western European divison of the DreamLeague kicks off today and it will see Alliance take on 4 Anchors and Fnatic facing off against Team Tinker. For three days, these four teams will play 3 bo1s against each other to determine the top two teams that will travel to Stockholm.
The third week of the ASUS ROG DreamLeague commences today, as the Westerm European division kicks off. Starting from 19.00 CEST, Alliance will take on 4 Anchors, while simultaneously Team Tinker will face off against Fnatic. Three bo1s will be played out per match and on Wednesday, two teams will sit at the top of the group and will be travelling to Stockholm for the first offline stage of the tournament.
Both Alliance and Fnatic have been invited directly to the groupstage as both organizations fielded teams in the previous season that did quite well in the groupstage. The remaining two slots for the groupstage were determined via an extensive open qualifier, which saw Team Tinker go through the upper bracket. Favorite for the second spot was Team Secret, but the Europeans got swept by 4 Anchors and were pushed to the lower bracket. In the finals, they met 4ASC once more and conceded a second loss. The Finns will now be playing for a trip to Stockholm.
Two regional qualifiers have already finished. The first one was the Eastern European divison, in which Team Empire dominated the group, sweeping through with a 9-0 record, with VP.Polar coming in second. The second region to play out was the Asian one, in which Invictus Gaming took home 1st palce, followed by LGD-Gaming.
