With the LAN finals of DreamHack Tours 2017 less than a week away, DreamHack have revealed all details regarding the tournament group draws and scheduling. Eight teams will be visiting the Centre International des Congrès de Vinci in Tours, France on May 6th-8th to fight for the lion's share of a whopping $100,000 prize pool. Six of the teams received direct invites, whilst HellRaisers and Misfits secured their placement at the tournaments via a European and North American qualifier respectively.
Formatting for the tournament will see a single-elimination, best-of-one group stage, where the two top teams from each group will advance straight to the semi-finals. Elimination and decider matches will all see a single-elimination, best-of-three setting and, much like the elimination and decider matches, the play-offs will exclusively feature single-elimination, best-of-three matches.
Below are the group draws for the aforementioned eight teams:
