DreamHack has confirmed that Ninjas in Pyjamas and Virtus.pro have been issued invites for its Masters event in Malmö.

In mid-April, DreamHack will host in the Swedish city of Malmö the first of two Masters events that will be held this year, with $250,000 on offer in both championships.

Sixteen teams - eight invited and eight qualified - will pit their wits against each other over six days at DreamHack Masters Malmö, which will feature a live event component at Malmö Arena, the second-largest indoor arena in Sweden.

After previously announcing fnatic and Astralias as the first two invitees, DreamHack has now revealed that Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas, who currently sit sixth and seventh, respectively, in our world ranking, have been added to the list of participants.

NiP have yet to attend an offline event with their new roster, featuring Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi, while the Polish team were recently in action at DreamHack ZOWIE Open Leipzig, where they finished 7th-8th following defeats against mousesports and dignitas.

The list of participants for DreamHack Masters Malmö now looks as follows:

fnatic	Astralis
NiP	Virtus.pro
