Kinguin have secured an invite to DreamHack ZOWIE Open at DreamHack Winter after defeating Epsilon 2-0 in a last-minute qualifier (22-20 on Mirage and Cobblestone.

Following FaZe's withdrawal from DreamHack Winter due to a packed schedule, the organisers of the Swedish event decided to host a best-of-three clash between Kinguin and Epsilon, the losing semi-finalists of the closed qualifier, to determine who would replace Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's team in the tournament.

Coming off a disappointing 9th-16th place at ESWC, Kinguin stepped up to the plate and gave a much better account of themselves, ultimately winning the series on two maps that went to overtime.

Kinguin will attend DreamHack Winter, later this month 

DreamHack ZOWIE Open at DreamHack Winter will run from November 24-27, in Jönköping, with eight teams battling it out for a share of a $100,000 prize pool. The list of participants for the event now comprises:
