While a few teams will participate and attend through the qualifiers, direct invites for DreamHack Masters Spring have been issued to partner teams, winners of DreamHack Open Leipzig and Anaheim, as well as teams on the World Ranking.
While the status of ESL One Cologne is unknown at this time because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teams can still earn points to attend as the four regional champions will be rewarded points for their victory.
