There are Toronto events, and I believe they'll be added to the website soon! UofT is hosting an amazing watch party with an artist alley and chichasan popup

TOing is truly a thankless job. There is so much outside of your control but you're the front facing representative so you get all the blame. If the community wants these events to continue and not push TOs away, there needs to be understanding + constructive feedback

Today I lost my friend. For some years we were not hanging out much but in the last 12 months we have been party queuing Dota2 like it was 2013.
And suddenly more nights than not we were able to get a stack of 5 and it was beautiful.
In the last few weeks he has been grumbling about patch, about everything staying the same… and today it happened. I got the message. He is no longer with us.
@FollowEGM has gone to the havens of Azeroth and WoW Forever
R.I.P

We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

What he really said…
“We don’t want you to learn about other cultures. You should continue to live in a bubble so we can decide how you feel about other places in the world and control how you think.”
We need more bridges between these two important countries, not less.

“They've had Jojo, Berserker, they've had me, they've had Loki, they've had Zven [and Tactical]. Any iteration of the [Cloud9] roster has choked for 3 years straight.
You [have to] — to be blunt about it — look at other players as the reason.”

To clarify
Riot changed the way Valorant works so that any team can make/win an international tournament
But they chose 4 teams in NA to become partners
They give those teams millions of $$ AND a skin in the game (they get a percentage of sales)
If an unpartnered org builds a moneyball team that absolutely crushes at an international event- those players will be poached by a partnered org
It happened to us with Brawk and Mada going to NRG it is happening to C9 who just lost partnership and already letting their players shop around
I just don't know if it is worth competing in the esport long term as compared to investing into an esport with a truly open system
