The Ontario eSports League is the marquee brand and facilitator of both social and competitive gaming across Ontario. With the eSports industry on the verge of rapid growth, they have identified and are targeting the untapped Amateur eSports market. With over 7.6 million gamers in Ontario alone, they possess the leading platform that attracts the masses and centralizes each eSport's community.

​

Not everyone can be a professional player, but that shouldn't stop an avid gamer from both their pursuit to be the best or their desire to compete on a professionally organized platform. Traditional sports have had decades to build their Amateur system as: inclusive of all skill levels, providing a path to the top (scholarships, professional, etc), and credible communities for fans and players of the sport at-large.

The landscape for the Amateur eSports market is changing, and the OeSL and Hottake™ are behind it.
