In October 2019, the first edition of Rotterdam Games Week will take place. Rotterdam Ahoy signed a long-term partnership with DreamHack for this, bringing the world's largest digital festival to Rotterdam. DreamHack Rotterdam, from 18 to 20 October 2019, will be the heart of Rotterdam Games Week and will consist of a DreamHack Open Championship for the game Counter-Strike: Global Offense with a prize pool of one hundred thousand dollars, a gaming expo with lots of interaction, cosplay competitions, panel meetings and a large 'bring your own device' LAN party.
Rotterdam Games Week
In the run-up to Rotterdam Games Week, pre-events will be organised, where fans can for instance watch the finals of esports tournaments together. In cooperation with the city of Rotterdam and other stakeholders, Rotterdam Ahoy is working on further components for Rotterdam Games Week.
