The groups and full schedule for Dreamhack Winter has been announced. Groups phase will take place on November 27th, while the Playoffs will start on 28th and will go through 29th.
Dreamhack organizers have done the group draw and we can expect nothing less than an excitement event with the best teams from the world. The ESL One Cologne winners, Ninjas in Pyjamas, are set to be in group C together with Team LDLC, ESC Gaming and Planetkey Dynamics. The Dreamhack Winter 2013 winners, Fnatic, will have to battle their way out of the group stage against Bravado Gaming, Cloud9 and HellRaisers.
EMS Katowice champions, Virtus.pro got themselves into the group D which also includes Natus Vincere, myXMG and Epsilon. Probably the most interesting group will be the group B with Titan, Penta Sports, Team Dignitas and iBUYPOWER fighting for the top two spots which leads to the playoffs.
