Bell will also level up its esports investment in the several ways listed below:
- Bell will be a presenting partner of OverActive’s largescale esports events including Toronto Ultra Major III this month and the Toronto Defiant Summer Showdown in September.
- The new Bell Fibe Zone, which is a top-tier professional esports practice facility within OverActive’s Toronto-based headquarters that’s fully powered by Bell pure fibre internet.
- Producing branded content, including OverActive’s top-performing series “Bell presents The Blueprint,” which provides a behind-the-scenes look at Toronto Ultra as they experience the trials and tribulations of the Call of Duty League season.
- Jersey and broadcast branding integration for both Toronto Ultra and Toronto Defiant.
With partnership underway, the pair will present the first-ever Call of Duty League tournament in Canada, Toronto Ultra Major III, at the Mattamy Athletic Centre from June 2nd-5th.
Most notably, OverActive Media will build an esports venue in Toronto, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
