KITCHENER HOSTS INTERNATIONAL CALL OF DUTY COMPETITION
The world’s largest Call of Duty tournament took over the Aud from June 26-29, launching Kitchener into the esports spotlight. The Call of Duty League Championships wraps up the 2025 season, with the top eight teams battling through matches of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with the hope of claiming a piece of the $2,000,000 prize pool.
While the focus of the event is watching the best gameplay Call of Duty has to offer, there were also ample opportunities for attendees to engage in various activities. Covered over murals and signs of Kitchener Rangers legends were free Monster Energy booths, ghillie suit-clad mannequins, and a Movember barbershop. Rows and rows of top-of-the-line PCs lined the halls, giving visitors a chance to get a taste of high level gaming.
Fans from across the world and the region poured into the venue.
“This is my hometown, right? I live here, so I was happy to see it’s here,” Ethan Wing, a Kitchener-based Call of Duty fan, said. “Obviously, it’s tougher for a lot of fans to come out, but I think we got some decent turnout on Saturday and Sundays, so it’s pretty fun.”
Additionally, the tournament was a boost to the Conestoga Condors esports program, who were advertising their upcoming Waterloo Campus Esports arena.
The Condors’ Call of Duty team has seen particular success recently, with their varsity team qualifying for their first international tournament in May.
Michael Wiggelaar, a Condors varsity Call of Duty team member, was excited to see such a large tournament with popular teams end up in Kitchener, giving him a chance to connect with some of his favourite professionals.
“It’s definitely a big deal for the school as a whole. We hosted Optic Texas for a boot camp prior to the event, so I think it’s definitely getting some attention on our school[…]it’s a positive thing for sure,” Wiggelaar said.
Going into the finals on Sunday, only Vancouver Surge and Optic Texas remained. Optic, the 2024 league champions who had previously defeated the Toronto Ultra in the tournament, were causing a buzz across the arena.
“I want Surge to win. I think there’s a lot of Optic fans, which is awesome, but I’m cheering for the Canadian team. I want to see them take down Optic,” Wing said.
“I’m definitely rooting for Optic. I’ve always been an Optic fan even since back in Call of Duty: Ghosts [released in 2013],” Wiggelaar said.
Optic Texas entered the stadium to thunderous applause compared to the Vancouver Surge’s more tepid response. After eight grueling rounds of various game modes, Optic Texas defeated Vancouver Surge 5-3, becoming the first back-to-back champions in the Call of Duty League history.
As fans poured out of the Aud after the four-day long tournament, it’s clear that there are opportunities for esports growth in the Waterloo region. After hosting a global tournament for one of the most popular video games and with a dedicated esports arena on the way, the region has the chance to become a leader in a fast-growing community.

Musical Interlude: I always think of this song when I visit family. Kristi Allen, formerly known as Kristi Starr, grew up in my hometown, and wrote this tribute to it. I'm told her performs mostly in Southern MD but someday I hope to hear her live. So, here's a tribute to my home town, Clear Spring, MD.
"Two-Light Town," performed by Kristi Allen.

RE: https://blahaj.zone/notes/9h8juj26im -
Wczorajsza dyskusja o tym, jakie narzędzie #Fediwersum/#OpenSource może zastąpić grupy FB (https://101010.pl/@otwartezrodlo/109944483234036270) uświadomiła mi, że najważniejszym pytaniem na samym początku nie są sprawy techniczne (funkcjonalność, dojrzałość, dostępność itd.), ale... jakie potrzeby mają realizować ludzie za pomocą tego narzędzia. To od tego pytania powinno się zacząć, mówiąc o alternatywach do Facebooka.
Bo jakie potrzeby ludzie załatwiają za pomocą FB? Oprócz oczywistych, skupię się na tych najważniejszych:
- potrzeba przynależności
- potrzeba akceptacji
- potrzeba uznania, docenienia
- potrzeba stymulacji, pobudzenia
- potrzeba wspólnoty, więzi
- potrzeba uwagi, bycia zauważanym
- potrzeba współpracy
- potrzeba partnerstwa
- potrzeba szczerości
- potrzeba opieki
- potrzeba zabawy, humoru
- potrzeba inspiracji
- potrzeba ...Grupy FB, jako konkretny kanał komunikacji, załatwiają ludziom któreś z tych potrzeb (każdemu trochę inne). Myśląc o zastąpieniu grup FB jakimś narzędziem #Fedi/#FOSS, warto zdecydować, które z tych potrzeb chcemy zapewniać w największym stopniu. Inne #potrzeby zapewni #forum internetowe #Discourse, inne czat #Matrix, a inne #Mastodon czy Friendica, a inne #Nextcloud.
Czyli trzeba zacząć od rozmów z ludźmi o tym, czego potrzebują. Wtedy - bazując na swojej wiedzy o narzędziach internetowych - można dobrać najtrafniejsze narzędzie.
To oczywiste - ale potrzebowałem parę godzin refleksji, żeby do tego dojść! 😎
