The Toronto KOI (formerly known as the Toronto Ultra) are a Canadian professional Call of Duty League (CDL) esports team based in Toronto, Ontario. The organization is owned by OverActive Media; they currently are only active in Call of Duty. Their name was also used for OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, who are usually known as the Toronto Defiant.
The Ultra began its life as a professional CDL team. Toronto was announced as one of the first five cities to host a CDL team for its inaugural 2020 season.[1] According to ESPN, the publisher was looking to sell slots for approximately $25 million per team.[2] The Ultra's CDL team has currently won three Majors, those being 2021 Major 2, 2023 Major 3 and 2024 Major 1.
As OverActive Media are a member of the Esports World Cup Foundation Club Partner Program (funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund) via Movistar KOI, who they bought in 2024 from Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos,[3][4] the Ultra name would be used at the 2024 Esports World Cup for their Call of Duty team, as well as a new Teamfight Tactics squad. In addition, the Toronto Defiant, OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, would rebrand to the "Toronto Ultra" for that game's tournament.[5]
