Ozark, MO — November 26, 2025
Founded with a players‑first mentality, BOTO has already hosted a string of qualifiers leading into its $450+ Grand Final, drawing dozens of teams and hundreds of community members into its orbit.
What sets BOTO apart is its unwavering commitment to the players. Organizers emphasize that every match, every broadcast, and every announcement is designed to spotlight competitors’ skill, story, and journey. “Without the players, we have no reason to be here,” the team behind BOTO declared in a recent announcement.
Despite speculation that the Rivals scene is fading, BOTO is determined to prove otherwise. Weekly qualifiers have kept the competitive spirit alive, and organizers insist that the departure of big names only opens the door for new teams to rise. “We keep the scene alive by choice,” reads one rallying cry. “So what if big names are pulling out? That just means more room for teams like YOU.”
Beyond competition, BOTO is building infrastructure for the future. The organization recently connected to Liquipedia, giving volunteers and staff the chance to add professional credentials to their esports résumés. Recruitment is underway for casters, observers, producers, community managers, and more—roles that will help expand BOTO into multiple titles after Season 1 concludes.
With cinematic announcements, a growing community, and a clear vision for sustainability, BOTO is positioning itself not just as a tournament organizer, but as a legacy brand in esports. The Grand Final looms, but for BOTO, it’s only the beginning.
