The sixteen DreamHack Masters Malmö teams have been divided into their respective groups.

Astralis have been drawn into Group A with the two French sides, Vitality and G2, in a group that will also feature ENCE, FURIA, fnatic, TYLOO, who made it through the China qualifier, and Envy, the North American qualifier winner.

Astralis are the highest-ranked team in Group A

Group B has the top two North American sides, Liquid and NRG, joined by Natus Vincere, MOUZ—the European qualifier winners—, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Grayhound, who won the Oceania qualifier, and the other two Danish sides, North and OpTic, the latter having qualified thanks to winning DreamHack Open Summer.

DreamHack's flagship event will visit the Swedish city of Malmö for the third time since 2016, and is set to take place on October 1-6 with $250,000 on the line. The group stage will feature a double-elimination bracket followed by best-of-three single-elimination playoffs.
