Gambit, NiP invited to DreamHack Masters Marseille

DreamHack has announced that Gambit and NiP will be joining the roster of its upcoming Masters event.

Gambit and Ninjas in Pyjamas will join  FaZe, Cloud9, SK, and MOUZ in the DreamHack Masters Marseille team list, which will see 16 teams fighting for a share of the $250,000 prize-pool on April 18-22 in Marseille, France.

The Kazakhstani side, which is currently fighting for a place in ECS Season 5 Europe, has been struggling for results recently, having failed to get through the group stages at both StarSeries i-League Season 4 and IEM Katowice. The PGL Major Krakow champions will, however, go to Marseille with a 3rd-4th place finish at DreamHack Masters Malmö 2017 under their belt—the last Masters event put on by DreamHack.

As for Ninjas in Pyjamas, they also placed 3rd-4th in Malmö, but have recently managed to secure a better placement than Gambit, 5-6th, at IEM Katowice, after beating teams like G2 and North. This will be Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman's second LAN event with the Malmö 2016 champions, who will also be in attendance at DreamHack Masters Stockholm later this year.

With this confirmation, there are only two invites yet to be revealed, as four spots will be handed out to the best teams from the Asian, European (x2), and North American qualifiers.

The team list for the event currently looks as follows:

Astralis	SK
MOUZ	G2
FaZe	Cloud9
Natus Vincere	Liquid
Gambit	Ninjas in Pyjamas
