The Toronto-based global esports and entertainment company has been involved with Overwatch since 2019.

Toronto Defiant co-hosted the Overwatch League Grand Finals in 2023 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto with more than 10,000 fans attending over the weekend.

The OWCS will see a new format that offers more intense competition.

“The OWCS is a testament to the evolving nature of esports, and we are ready to make our mark in this new chapter,” OverActive Media’s co-founder and CEO, Adam Adamou, said in a media release. “Our history with the Overwatch League, combined with our deep understanding of our fan community, positions us uniquely to embrace this opportunity. We are going in with the vision to win the world championship and solidify our legacy in the esports world.”

The team will operate as the Toronto Defiant, with a roster that will be revealed shortly.

OverActive Media Corp. is focused on esports, video games, content creation and distribution, culture, and live and online events. Its business activities consist of owning and operating an integrated portfolio of esports teams, as well as audience engagement.
