DreamHack Open contributes to the ESL Pro Tour, and provides a simplified yet complete path to those events, meaning if a team applies themselves and does well, they could quite possibly see themselves on the big stages in no time.
Shaun Clark, the ESL Pro Tour director had this to say about the DreamHack Open and looking to the future,; “This first DreamHack Open Online of 2021 represents a crucial part of the ESL Pro Tour for CS:GO, ESL and DreamHack share the same vision of creating an open-ecosystem that provides aspiring players the platform to succeed, following the path from ‘zero to hero.’ Following in the footsteps of what we've announced, we are excited to release the entire year's worth of competition with a roadmap to return to live events.”
