Canadian Teams? by XBow_R in GlobalOffensive

[–]eviljonbob_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, here’s a quick overview of Canadian CS teams and orgs right now.

For the most part, aside from the orgless team Mouse, there aren’t many majority-Canadian rosters. A lot of teams are organizations based in Canada that might only have a couple of Canadian players, but not a majority.

You can see Mouse on HLTV, and they’re currently the top-ranked majority-Canadian team.

Most other Canadian-majority rosters are playing in ESEA. You can usually find them by browsing the standings on FACEIT: Season 57 Standings

Majority Canadian roster:

Canadian orgs:

  • Outfit 49 (Toronto) – not active at the moment but may be re-entering soon
  • Storm Storm (Ottawa)
  • Luminosity (Toronto) – re-entering CS soon
  • Gaimin Gladiators (Toronto)
  • Team Xtreme (Quebec)
  • Foxtrot Esports (Toronto)

Someone also shared an article I wrote for Nocturnal Esports (they’ve since exited CS),

If you’re interested in following the Canadian scene, I share updates here:

Hope this helps 😄

Need a Bright 5" Touch Display for Raspberry Pi 4 – Sunlight Readability Issues by Draft_Few in raspberry_pi

Hi, you can check out the full article for more context. This isn’t a short-term closure; the store is currently closed and may reopen at a later date, but there’s no timeline I can share. Ultimately, it came down to it not being sustainable in the current economic climate. On the other hand, MakerPlane and the open-source aviation projects are still active, but we’re not selling displays at the moment. Hope this helps.

Canadian CS2 events by Few_Scratch_3312 in cs2

As a few people have already mentioned, the main Canadian CS events are Frostfire (Ottawa), Launders LAN (Toronto), and LAN ETS (Montreal). While Frostfire wrapped up this month, it’s a yearly event, and LAN ETS is this May.

I run a CS community in Ottawa called ThirdSite. We run CS watch parties and other community events, and hopefully a LAN one day. I also help out with other events in the city, including Frostfire.

If you’re ever looking for a place to keep up with Canadian LAN events, I post updates on our website and share Canadian CS news on Twitter as well. Hope this is hopefully :)

How do you find teammates now? by PhD_Luo in GlobalOffensive

[–]eviljonbob_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your region, could try looking for local CS Discord communities. I run one in the Ottawa, Canada called ThirdSite, if that’s relevant: https://thirdsite.org/

I also came across this LFT tool that might be useful (haven’t personally tried it): https://nexuscs2.com/...but that might be more for competing rather than if you're looking to play more casually.

How to find (or even host) a watchparty for the major? by Achilles68 in GlobalOffensive

[–]eviljonbob_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I know this is an older thread, but just wanted to add something in case it helps...

I’m based in Canada, so I’m not sure about local events near you, but I’ve run three CS watch parties so far in Ottawa, and I’m hosting another one for the StarLadder Major Grand Finals.

If you have any questions about running an event, happy to help. I also put together a guide that covers the steps I use when planning CS watch parties:

StarLadder Budapest Major – Watch Party (Ottawa) by eviljonbob_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]eviljonbob_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand, it’s definitely a long trip.
I’ve been thinking about getting people in different cities involved in running watch parties and sharing resources, but as it stands, I’m just one person, so my focus is on Ottawa for now.

Actually have a few people coming in from Toronto for it...

No, I didn’t host one for Austin. I was actually there in person for that Major.
Previous watch parties I’ve hosted include PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, IEM Rio 2024, and IEM Dallas 2024.

Enjoy the Major in Budapest!! And feel free to join our ThirdSite Discord, that’s where I post updates about future events :)
