Dire Wolves signs MSI as Hardware & Display Partner to power performance across all rosters
The partnership between the world’s most trusted gaming brand and the most successful esports organisation in Oceania will equip all Dire Wolves’ rosters with cutting-edge hardware and support to further empower the ANZ Esports scene.
Dire Wolves, the most successful esports team in Oceania, is pleased to reveal a partnership with world leading gaming technology brand MSI. The partnership will span all nine of Dire Wolves’ powerhouse rosters, and see MSI represented in major leagues across the region including the League of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO). MSI will empower Dire Wolves’ players and streamers with its industry leading hardware to power their competitive performance and content creation, including displays, gaming chairs, components and more.
Dire Wolves, historically known as the best League of Legends team in Oceania, has expanded in recent years to a multi-disciplinary organisation. In February, Dire Wolves acquired legendary organisation AVANT Gaming, uniting their teams under the Dire Wolves brand and creating the ultimate Oceanic esports team. In addition to its League of Legends roster, Dire Wolves now has top performing teams in VALORANT, CS:GO, FIFA, NBA 2K, Overwatch, Rocket League, and Apex Legends. MSI will be showcased across all rosters, as well as the Dire Wolves Stream Team which is famously home to leading content creators across the ANZ region.
The partnership represents MSI’s continued commitment to supporting esports and gaming communities around the world. A mainstay in the global ecosystem for over 35 years, MSI has supported esports and gaming events, teams, and competitions of all levels including grassroots collegiate programmes through to some of the world’s largest and most prestigious leagues, tournaments and teams. The partnership with Dire Wolves will further expand the brand’s presence in Oceanic esports, which continues to thrive with the 2021 launch of the LCO, and the newly opened Spark Esports Hub in New Zealand’s iconic sport stadium, Eden Park.
Jeremy Tate, Marketing Manager ANZ, MSI shared, “It’s long been our mission at MSI to deliver the ultimate in-game advantage for esports competition, and today we take another exciting step down that path in partnership with the Dire Wolves – who share a common passion for winning and pushing the envelope of performance. In turn, MSI is thrilled today to announce our support of the Dire Wolves esports team.
The partnership offers incredible collaboration between the talented ranks at Dire Wolves paired with our award winning gaming hardware at MSI, and sets the stage to raise the bar and elevate esports to new levels within the region. The team will game and compete utilising cutting edge hardware and gaming technology from MSI, helping to unlock the very best from players when it matters most in competition and practice. This significant shared core attitude is instrumental, and allows us to innovate, outplay and drive our goals further together in esports.”
Jason Spiller, Owner, Dire Wolves, said “MSI has an incredible legacy in the esports and gaming space in every corner of the world, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have their expertise and hardware onboard across the entire wolf pack. Our teams have a jam-packed competitive calendar for the rest of the year and beyond, and knowing we have the very best hardware and support gives us the confidence to perform at the highest level, and hopefully bring home more trophies!
2021 has already been a landmark year for Oceanic esports with the launch of the LCO and the new Eden Park facility acting as a central hub for the community, and having the support of global leaders like MSI shows that the world is taking note.”

Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited
OLG and Caesars Sign Long-term Operating Agreement for Windsor Casino
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and Caesars Entertainment Windsor Limited (Caesars) announced that they have entered into a Casino Operating and Services Agreement (COSA) for the Windsor casino.
Under the new, close to 20-year agreement, Caesars continues day-to-day operations of the Windsor casino, ensuring its exciting brand of gaming entertainment remains part of the Windsor skyline.
“This is a great day for OLG, our partners at Caesars and the City of Windsor. The agreement we’ve signed will see our partnership with Caesars continue for many years to come. It’s a partnership that has benefitted the community and local economy in countless ways and we’re thrilled to continue our contribution together,” said OLG’s President and CEO, Duncan Hannay.
The Windsor casino is the final gaming site in Ontario to transition to OLG’s Land-based Gaming modernization model.
In May 2025, Stan Cho, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming and OLG announced that Caesars had been selected as the operator through a competitive procurement process, with the expected transition to the new agreement with Caesars in early 2026.
“We are proud to continue bringing the iconic Caesars brand to life here in Windsor. For more than three decades, this Resort has been a cornerstone of the region’s tourism economy, and for the past 18 years it has proudly carried the Caesars name. We look forward to building on that legacy by delivering the world‑class hospitality, entertainment, and service our guests expect from Caesars,” said Anthony Carano, President and Chief Operating Officer of Caesars Entertainment.
Under the new agreement, OLG will continue to make Municipality Contribution Agreement (MCA) payments to the City of Windsor. Since 1994, OLG has provided more than $138 million in MCA payments to the city as a gaming host community. Additionally, Caesars must maintain current casino employment levels for a period of no less than 18 months. Unionized employees will be governed by the terms of their collective agreement.
Through its Land-based Gaming modernization, OLG has been transferring day-to-day operations of casinos to private sector service providers who are investing in Ontario communities. To date, OLG’s land-based gaming service providers have invested more than $2.9 billion in communities across the province, which both encourages local economic growth and helps OLG increase its contribution to the Province of Ontario.
OLG promotes safer gambling and empowers players to make informed decisions at every step of their play. PlaySmart provides tools and information that help players stay in control and enjoy games on their terms.
