CS:GO confirmed at DH Austin

CS:GO will be one of the three main titles at DreamHack Austin, according to the organisation.

DreamHack Austin was first announced about two months back, and marked an important milestone for the Swedish company DreamHack as it would be its first event hosted outside of Europe.

The event will run from May 6-8 in 2016 and take place inside of the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, a city known both as Texas' state capital and a bustling tech and business hub in the United States.

DreamHack have now announced the first three main titles for the event in Austin, which include CS:GO, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and Street Fighter V, the latter two reflective of the recent resurgence of the competitive fighting games scene in esports.

While information is still preliminary, DreamHack have promised that both "international teams" and "up-and-coming" teams (perhaps meaning local) will be present for the CS:GO tournament in Austin.

More information for the event can be found at DH Austin's hub page here. In addition, tickets will be going on sale soon on September 15th, with a ticket page released by DreamHack that features various pricing options available here.
