I would first like to congratulate Simon Marin, Max St-Onge, William Lefrançois, Pier-Olivier Clément, the staff, the volunteers and all the people who contributed directly or indirectly to the success of this magnificent event!

For those who read my article last March, I had some apprehensions regarding the event’s publicity and the size of the Olympic Stadium. I must say that these two aspects were covered brilliantly. Whether through social media, radio ads, or posters throughout the city, it was clear that Dreamhack Montreal was happening. It’s always a good sign when newcomers approach me with questions because they’ve heard about it, even though they don’t follow esports at all. As for the atmosphere, I would describe it in one word: WOW! The lighting and the layout of the stages ensured that the empty space in the stands didn’t dampen the overall atmosphere, and it also allowed spectators to clearly see the competitions.
As I mentioned, the symbolism of holding such a large event at the Stadium is enormous, and the repercussions are already being felt at the political level. This event is a bombshell that has just been added to my arsenal of arguments.
For those wondering about the Armata-Boreal Legacy team, no, it’s not a comeback or a relaunch of the organization. I was on vacation when it happened, but basically, it’s former BrL and Armata players who were sponsored by someone who supported what we were doing, and we allowed them to take over the name. I will admit, however, that it was pleasant and nostalgic to see players wearing our colors again.
