The Atlanta Metro Chamber hosted a special event entitled “How Companies are Leveraging and Engaging the Gaming and Esports Ecosystem.” The heads of organizations like DreamHack, Skillshot, and NASEF gathered to collaborate on bringing focus to e-sports and gaming in Georgia.
“DreamHack isn’t just a gaming event it’s a lifestyle” said Guy “Yug” Bloomberg Event Director of DreamHack North America.
“Everyone is a gamer, from the casual to the hardcore, it is ingrained in our culture. We asked our sponsors how do we expose what’s next? It was only logical we take a look at the model of the most successful sports council in the country, the Atlanta Sports Council. This model founded the creation of the Atlanta E-Sports Alliance.” said Grant Wainscott, the Vice Chairman of the Atlanta Esports Alliance.
