Today we embark on what most consider the first real competitive event of the year. Will you be the one to take it down?
Dreamhack rose to fame within the Fortnite community as the largest 3rd party tournament provider. Over the better half of last year, Dreamhack partnered with Epic Games to dole out over $2 million in prizes
And $250,000 more will be handed out over the course of the next week between Europe, NA-East, and NA-West

But if you’ve been confused by the Dreamhack schedule, don’t fret. Many people are experiencing the same -- and I’m here to clear the air and give you the January itinerary you need to be prepared
First thing’s first, the format. Dreamhack has a reliable event window with two open heats followed by a semifinals and finals. That hasn’t and probably won’t change in the future
In this month’s case, the two heats are separated by over a week. Perhaps a scheduling problem created this, as previous heats would be completed back-to-back. Here’s the full schedule for all regions:
Europe
All times in BT
Heat 1 - Sunday, January 24 @ 1-4PM
Heat 2 - Sunday, January 24 @ 4-7PM
Heat 3 - Saturday, January 30 @ 1-4PM
Semi-Finals - Saturday, January 23 @ 6-9PM
Finals - Sunday, January 24 @ 2-8PM
NA-East
All times in ET
Heat 1 - Friday, January 22 @ 6-9PM
Heat 2 - Saturday, January 23 @ 2-5PM
Semi-Finals - Saturday, January 23 @ 6-9PM
Finals - Sunday, January 24 @ 2-8PM
NA-West
All times in PT
Heat 1 - Friday, January 22 @ 6-9PM
Heat 2 - Saturday, January 30 @ 2-5PM
Semi-Finals - Saturday, January 30 @ 6-9PM
Finals - Sunday, January 31 @ 2-8PM
Europe gets the unique opportunity of hosting three qualifiers this go around. If you hail from that region, now’s your chance to make a deep run in Dreamhack!
