Did you catch the launch of Stellar Fest? Last November, a former Canadian Army officer, Bruno "BrewKnow" Perron, rallied the StarCraft II community in Ottawa for Canada’s first major since 2019. He's swapping army boots for gaming headsets, diving into esports as career 2.0, all while giving the war headlines a cheeky wave goodbye.

Stellar Fest vibes perfectly with Ottawa's spirit and eclectic community, making it the ultimate fit for cultivating a fresh esports culture. Ottawa, buzzes with tech-savvy creativity and innovation, setting the stage for a stellar gaming event. The city's unique blend of cultures crafts a melting pot where gamers of all stripes can vibe together, sharing in the thrill of competition and collaboration. Stellar Fest vibes perfectly with Ottawa's indie spirit and eclectic community, making it the ultimate fit for cultivating a fresh esports culture.

Great to see so much happening in NA at the end of the year again

We were to go to Canada's nation's capital of Ottawa!

Yeah! 100%... Many players DM'd me in the wake of SC4ALL's announcement to see what UrsaTV was cooking. Last year, we were able to co-schedule the inaugural SC4ALL with the inaugural Stellar Fest. A couple pros, and a few car loads of semi-pro players attended both events.

I think players, teams and tournament organizers are struggling with travel costs in the post-EWC/ESL era. Many NA players have been spending more time in Korea, and other parts of Asia. In a StarCraft adjusted world, travel to North America is both expensive and time consuming. We feel it too... transportation and lodging are a significant part of the Stellar Fest budget.

I was informed about SC4ALL's commitment to 5-6 December 2026 mid-June. At that point, we didn't have much of a plan - but it came together over the summer - I'm glad we'll be able to offer players and fans two stops in NA this year, all in December! SC4ALL is on a roll since their announcement with giants of the game invited - excited to see Maru visit Local Host Philly! We can only hope some of them want to play in Stellar Fest qualifiers.
