On August 22–24, 2025, Lotus 8 had the incredible opportunity to be part of the CEBL Championship Festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Together with our partners at Esports Canada and our collaboration partners, the CEBL and the Winnipeg Sea Bears, we proudly hosted an NBA 2K25 Tournament where participants competed for Championship tickets.

The weekend was filled with tournaments, exciting challenges for prizes, raffles, and live content creation to showcase the energy of esports at the heart of a major Canadian sporting festival. It was an unforgettable experience that brought together fans of both basketball and gaming, creating a unique space for connection, competition, and fun.

A special thank you goes out to our valued partner Asus Canada for supplying their ROG G700 CPUs and providing giveaways for the Manitoba community. Their support helped us elevate the gaming experience for players and spectators alike, ensuring top-level performance and unforgettable moments.

This event marked another milestone in Lotus 8’s journey of blending esports, live events, and community wellness programming. We are grateful for the trust our partners place in us and excited to continue building opportunities that showcase the power of esports across Canada and beyond.

Stay tuned—this is only the beginning.
