The DreamHack Showdown will feature eight women's CS:GO teams to play for $100,000 and a spot to DreamHack Open Rotterdam. This new initiative from DreamHack aims to raise the visibility of the women currently in the scene and to provide equal access to competitive support as their male counterparts. Beşiktaş and Dignitas were both invited to the event while the other six teams have to make their way through the regional qualifiers.
