Challengermode and DreamHack extend strategic platform partnership
DreamHack, the premier gaming lifestyle festival, and Challengermode, the world’s most accessible digital arena for competitive gaming, jointly announce an official multi-year extension of the tournament platform partnership first signed in 2018. The partnership reaffirms their collaboration and commitment to enhancing competitive gaming, with an extra focus on the grassroots and community level esports across the globe.
Using Challengermode’s unique community and tournament organization tools, DreamHack will be able to strengthen their online engagement efforts, activating and monetizing their fans on a daily basis in addition to their regular high-level esports productions such as the DreamHack Masters and their classic gaming and LAN festivals.
"DreamHack has always been about bringing value to our community, and having Challengermode as a platform partner has enabled us to do that online in a scale we couldn't before. We look forward to expanding DreamHack Weekly and support the grassroots esports communities with even more competitions in CS, PUBG, LoL, and Dota 2 - with more games to come."
- Michael Van Driel, CPO of DreamHack.
During the past year, DreamHack has hosted several online tournaments and qualifiers through Challengermode such as the “DreamHack Weekly”, a series of popular tournaments for CS:GO and PUBG exclusive to Challengermode. The open qualifiers for DreamHack’s Nordic Championship in League of Legends, and formerly in CS:GO were also run on Challengermode through the Nordic National Esports Leagues for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, with the top two teams from each country qualifying directly into the Nordic Championship playoffs.
“We couldn’t be more excited to extend our partnership with DreamHack after all the great stuff we’ve done together. DreamHack is one of the most prominent tournament organizers in the world and has also become a great partner for us throughout various endeavors. With DreamHack’s unique track record and our platform technology we are in a unique position to offer some truly revolutionizing esports and gaming experiences over the coming months and years.”
