This partnership establishes a collaborative framework to identify, prepare, and develop elite Canadian esports athletes and teams for international competition. As part of this effort, Esport Canada and OverActive Media will be applying to serve as Canada’s National Partner for the Esports Nations Cup (ENC), ensuring Canadian players have the support, resources, and opportunities to compete at the highest level. Through this partnership, Esport Canada and OverActive Media are committed to supporting the development and participation of Canadian players, strengthening the national esports ecosystem, and showcasing Canada’s talent on the global stage. Leveraging initiatives like the ENC, we aim to elevate the profile of Canadian esports, create broader opportunities for recognition and visibility, and highlight the extraordinary, untapped talent and potential of our athletes both nationally and internationally.
