Ha, this is easy. Win as many games as possible and win Ubisoft’s first US Division championship as well as every major. In all seriousness though we are here to be as competitive as possible but are also excited to work with Ubisoft to grow the game and the league.
With such a dedicated fan base, rich game IP and dedication from the publisher there are so many great things to come. In line with our strategy around being region-based, we’d love to see a Rainbow Six Siege homestand on the east coast, similar to what the Overwatch League has done.
Also, with the Helix centers we’d love to find ways to engage fans and the amateur community to augment the already thriving scene.

Your org also picked up Reciprcoity’s Rocket League and Fortnite teams. What are your overall goals for the organization?
We are excited to build out the first vertically integrated esports organization. By competing at the highest level in 5 titles that gives us the top of the industry, which is critical to our strategy, but we believe the real value is leveraging our existing centers and talent identification analytics to make our teams better. We believe that we can provide great experiences for our center patrons with the Oyxgen rosters, identify the next esports star with our talent identification software and then fuel Oxygen’s rosters with marketable, local talent groomed at Helix facilities.
Similar to the success the Bull’s saw with the triangle offense in basketball, we believe our triangle, professional roster, analytics and physical centers, will be our keys to success.
As for the future, we are always hungry to expand and will move into games where we feel the publisher is looking to partner with organizations to drive success and that make economic sense to our players, fans and investors.
Can we expect any upcoming roster changes before the kick-off of the NAL?
We do not plan on making any changes, we are thrilled by the team’s performance in the Gamer’s Without Borders event and think we are poised to win it all once league play starts!
Since joining the Oxygen organisation, the team has played in just the Gamers Without Borders charity event where they defeated eUnited 5-1, 5-2, 6-4, and donated their $150,000 winnings to the charity “Direct Relief“, which “works in the U.S. and internationally to equip doctors and nurses with life-saving medical resources to care for the world’s most vulnerable people”.
Oxygen Esports’ next game will presumably be when the US Division of the North American League kicks off in approximately a month’s time, with the following roster:
Davide “FoxA” Bucci Gabriel “LaXInG” Mirelez Franklyn “VertcL” Andres Cordero Spencer “Slashug” Oliver Khalil “b1ologic” Pleas Anthony “HOP3Z” (coach) Taylor “Redeemer” Mayeur (coach)
