As if this was not enough to attract the Heroes of Newerth fans, DreamHack will be offering two more tournaments included in the Digital Youth Awards. These two tournaments, one for Sweden and one for Germany, will send off the winners to Shanghai, China to participate in exhibition matches at the venue.
