Toronto Ultra
Canadian esports team
The Toronto Ultra are a Canadian professional esports organization based in Toronto . They are owned by OverActive Media . They currently have active divisions in Call of Duty and Teamfight Tactics . Their name was also used for OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, who are usually known as the Toronto Defiant .
The Ultra began its life as a professional Call of Duty League (CDL) team. Toronto was announced as one of the first five cities to host a CDL team for its inaugural 2020 season.[ 1] According to ESPN , the publisher was looking to sell slots for approximately $25 million per team.[ 2] The Ultra's CDL team has currently won 3 Majors, those being 2021 Major 2, 2023 Major 3 and 2024 Major 1.
As OverActive Media are a member of the Esports World Cup Foundation Club Support Program (funded by Saudi Arabia 's Public Investment Fund ) via KOI, who they bought in 2024 from Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos ,[ 3] [ 4] the Ultra name would be used at the 2024 Esports World Cup for their Call of Duty team, as well as a new Teamfight Tactics squad. In addition, the Toronto Defiant , OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, would rebrand to Toronto Ultra for that game's tournament.[ 5]
