DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 was a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major that was held from October 28–November 1, 2015 at the Sala Polivalentă in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was organized by DreamHack with help from Valve Corporation and the Professional Gamers League. The tournament had a total prize pool of $250,000 USD.

Team EnVyUs was the winner of the event after beating Natus Vincere in the finals. The final scores were 16-14 on Train and 16-5 on Cobblestone.[1] Fnatic failed to win their third Major in a row, instead placing 5-8.[2]

Richard Lewis and Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner hosted the event. Pala "Mantrousse" Gilroy Sen and Scott "SirScoots" Smith were the main interviewers for the event. The commentators were Anders Blume, Auguste "Semmler" Massonnat, Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett, Henry "HenryG" Greer, Daniel "ddk" Kapadia and James "JZFB" Bardolph. The analysts were Duncan "Thorin" Shields, Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson, Joona "natu" Leppänen and Jason "Moses "O'Toole.[3]

The top eight teams from the previous CS:GO Major, ESL One Cologne 2015 and non-Major tournament DreamHack Open Stockholm 2015 qualified for the DreamHack Cluj-Napoca.[4] Teams qualifying from Cologne were Fnatic, Team EnVyUs, Team SoloMid, Virtus.pro, Natus Vincere, Team Kinguin, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Luminosity Gaming.[5] Teams qualifying from Stockholm were Cloud9, Counter Logic Gaming, mousesports, TItan, Team Dignitas, FlipSid3 Tactics, Team Liquid, and Vexed Gaming.[6]

The first, round-robin group stage consisted of 16 teams in four groups. For the next stage the top two teams in each group were then seeded into a single-elimination bracket.[7]

The top eight teams received invitations to the next CS:GO Major, MLG Counter-Strike:Global Offensive Major Championship: Columbus, taking place at the end of March in Columbus, Ohio.

Format

The top eight teams of the ESL One Cologne 2015 qualified as Legends. The Challengers consisted of the top eight teams from the DreamHack Open Stockholm 2015 Qualifying tournament.

Teams will be split up into four groups. All group matches are best of 1. The highest seed will play the lowest seed in each group and the second and third seeds will play against each other. The winner of those two matches will play to determine which team moves on to the Playoffs; the loser of that match will play another match against the winner of the two losing teams. The loser of the lower match is eliminated from the tournament. The last two teams will play each other and the winner of that match moves on to the playoffs.

The playoffs bracket consists of eight teams, two from each group. All of these matches are a best of three, single elimination format. Teams advance in the bracket until a winner is decided.
