10. DreamHack 2022 Madrid

This is the final DreamHack event for the season, it is taking place over December 9th-11th. As this is nearly a year away, not a whole lot is public about events right now.

Those are all of the 2022 events. There is a great spread of different genres and games going on here. There’s plenty on offer here. However, there are a few games that really stand out. While the return of fighting games in a big way is exciting, one title has a strong presence. Particularly, the fast rise of Halo is impressive. The HCS is going to be a major part of DreamHack in 2022, which is a strong showing for a game that could have been hit or miss.

These events are subject to changes over the course of the year. While it will be great to see all of these LAN events popping up, fans should watch out for changing travel restrictions before getting too hyped for any specific event here.
