DH Cluj-Napoca to be next major

Valve and Dreamhack have revealed that they have partnered to bring the final CS:GO major of this year to DH Cluj-Napoca in Romania. The event, spanning over four days, will be played almost entirely on the main stage, with sixteen teams fighting for a piece of the customary $250,000 prize pool. In terms of production, DH has partnered with PGL to handle production, something the company is well known for in their own events. Dreamhack's Tomas Lyckedal and PGL's Silviu Stroie had the following to say about event:

“We’re thrilled to bring a CS:GO Major to DreamHack Cluj-Napoca, as we’ll have the chance to create a 4-day stage show in front of the amazing Romanian eSports fans, as well as attract fans worldwide. Together with our partner PGL, we have the possibility to create the most unique media production, and ultimately the most memorable event in CS:GO ever.”
