The DreamHack Masters Spring was originally set to feature 16 teams in Sweden. The world pandemic situation led to a change of events. The tournament started off in an online format to ensure everyone’s safety.
BIG’s win will not count for the Inter Grand Slam as ESL has kept it on hold. The ESL Pro tour points, however, will count towards the qualification of ESL One Cologne. BIG looks strong at the moment, and if the pace keeps up, the team can go for bigger wins.
