Video game enthusiasts at the University of Ottawa wielded mice and keyboards as the Brian Dickson Law Library hosted its first-ever Esports Showcase Week<\/a> from March 11 to 17. The highly successful event featured a multitude of activities for gamers and e-sport enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n\n

It all culminates this weekend in a series of tournaments. The suspense will be at its height as participants compete on League of Legends, Valorant, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate et Magic the gathering, some of the major games of the moment. <\/p>\n\n

Beyond the competition, the gaming areas have given students the opportunity to bond and share their common passion. “What we had before was mostly strictly online. Having all these players physically together playing, it just adds a sense of camaraderie,”<\/em> said Jessica Guo, co-president of the University of Ottawa e-sports team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Alongside the gaming periods, lively discussions took place with professional gamers, a commentator, a video game studio and even a physiotherapist. These conferences explored the legal issues (and others) surrounding this exploding industry, including intellectual property, streaming rights and professional player contracts. <\/p>\n\n

In light of such enthusiasm, the organizers are already looking forward to the next edition, offering video game fans another opportunity to celebrate their passion and immerse themselves in the legal world of esports.<\/p>\n\n
