In 2025, DreamHack Shanghai will make its debut, coinciding with the Hero Esports Asian Champions League (ACL) in Shanghai. This marks the first time DreamHack, a major gaming festival, will occur in China. The events will feature top-tier competitions, guest influencers, and DreamHack staples like the expo floor, Artist Alley, and Community Playground. DreamHack, a significant brand under ESL FACEIT Group, has a strong legacy in North America and Europe. The ACL, also debuting in 2025, aims to be the region’s most diverse and accessible esports event, showcasing titles like Street Fighter, League of Legends, and PUBG. China’s investment in esports is evident, with Chengdu hosting major international competitions last year. The simultaneous occurrence of these events in Shanghai is set to create a landmark moment for the gaming community, uniting fans from various genres.
