Many of the Overwatch League teams have created their own Overwatch Contenders teams with their own unique brand, such as the London Spitfire and the British Hurricane. While this is the route the majority of the league is taking, the Boston Uprising have decided to partner with an already established esports organization to operate their spot in the North American Overwatch Contenders.
Toronto Esports has announced on their website that they have secured a partnership with the Boston Uprising to represent them as their Overwatch Contenders team. The team will have a large amount of resources at their disposal by being a member of the Kraft Group's Overwatch division and will be looking to make a good amount of noise in the upcoming Overwatch Contenders season.
