                                 "We were truly and positively surprised by our first visit to DreamHack Leipzig. We encountered a smart
                                 audience, who knew their stuff and wanted specific information about our products. This means that we
                                 met 100 percent of the target group we want for our gaming brand."

                                 LOTS OF UNITS SOLD

                                 "Just half an hour after opening, customers were already lining up at our counters - and it didn't stop for a
                                 moment. Guests ranged from hardware nerds to impulse buyers, eSports teams and of course all sorts of
                                 gamers. Our service station was especially well received by the LAN players, whose hardware broke down
                                 under such continuous stress. All in all, we were able to sell a large number of units and were super satisfied
                                 with the result."

                                 WE ENCOUNTERED THE ESPORT AUDIENCE WE HAD HOPED FOR

                                 "The turnout at DreamHack Leipzig fulfilled all of our expectations. Through close cooperation with
                                 DreamLegue and the associated Major Dota 2 we have close ties to the eSports scene, whom we also met
                                 in Leipzig. The scale of the event was also beneficial to our employer branding."

                                 MAGNIFICENT KICK-OFF TO A NEW YEAR OF ESPORTS

                                 "This year's Dreamhack Leipzig was also the perfect venue for the final of the ESBD club league. The cham-
                                 pions from Gera and Berlin showed just how great eSport from the various regions can be. DreamHack
                                 Leipzig is a great start to a new year of eSports, and Leipziger Messe is a solid partner."

                          eSPORT.BUSINESS.FORUM

                          Million Euro investments into eSports teams are not rare internationally. In Germany, total invest-
                          ments are smaller and many teams are in the red. The gaming industry is developing rapidly and there
                          are also excellent prospects in Germany. In 2020, the eSPORT.BUSINESS.FORUM was again held as
                          the prelude to DreamHack Leipzig. The business event organised by the ESB Marketing Network in
                          cooperation with Leipziger Messe GmbH once again attracted more than 150 participants from the
                          eSports world.

                          BUSINESS LOUNGE

                          Once again, the Business Lounge provided a separate area for trade visitors, exhibitors, partners and
                          sponsors to meet each other and establish new contacts at the same time. More than 1,200 visitors
                          used the opportunity to withdraw from the buzzing DreamExpo to hold small meetings, network or
                          recharge in a relaxed lounge atmosphere.
