Dreamhack Atlanta General Festival Crew - Talent Pool 2026

At EFG (ESL FACEIT Group) we create worlds beyond gameplay where players and fans become community. We pride ourselves in having a corporate social responsibility which is that "IT'S NOT GG, UNTIL IT'S GG FOR ALL". We are passionate about the culture we foster that ultimately helps to create and shape the world of esports, gaming tournaments, leagues, events and holistic ecosystems staged for our millions of players, fans and heroes.

DreamHack creates an arena where you can come to connect, explore, win, play a part, and be yourself through a gaming lifestyle experience. Our immersive gaming festivals feature everything gaming under one roof and the community is invited to experience our top tier & grassroots esports, see the best cosplayers and their works, meet their favorite content creators, and enjoy everything from art, screenings, and live music, to the latest games in our expo. We create worlds where the gaming community comes to life.

It's time for Atlanta to experience our out-of-this-world gaming festival, and we need your help. Our team jumps in at a moment's notice and does so with grace and poise. If you wanted to be a DreamHack Dino when you grew up, you have found your team. Let's go!
