DreamHack Open Rotterdam 2019 will take place on October 18-20, featuring eight contestants duking it out for $100,000 in prize money. The teams will be split into two groups, fighting it out in a GSL setting with best-of-one initial matches followed by best-of-three elimination and decider series. The top two squads from each group will advance to the playoffs, which will feature a single-elimination, best-of-three format, exclusively. The champions will be crowned upon the conclusion of the grand final on Sunday, kicking off at 17:00 CEST.
