DreamHack Duos is back for April: Here’s how to play

You don’t need to sign-up for a shot at the $250,000 total prize pool.

After a three-month hiatus, the DreamHack Fortnite Online Open returns this weekend. Once again, the format is Duos.

This time around, the event will only take place on EU and NA East servers, however people from other regions are still free to enter.

Since the announcement earlier this week, there has been some confusion over how exactly you can play. Unlike previous DreamHack events, this one requires no sign-up. Simply check the Compete tab in-game to make sure it is available.

Everything else is pretty standard. The top 500 teams from each Heat will progress to the Semi-Finals, and from there just 50 will advance to Grand Finals.

Full coverage and professional commentary will be available on the DreamHack Fortnite Twitch channel. Alternatively, if the official broadcast isn’t your thing, you can load up your favorite player’s stream to watch from their perspective.

As usual, all entrants must be at least 13 years old and need to have Two-Factor Authentication enabled. Additionally, both you and your partner will need to reach Contender league or above in Arena to be eligible.
