DreamHack loves Atlanta and we're excited to be back! This pandemic has been very hard on many, but games have always had a special way of bringing communities together. We always strive to not only create a world where our community comes alive, but a world where everyone can be someone. This array of esports competitions will provide that opportunity for everyone, so we can't wait to share our festival with the people of Atlanta again.
