Business series in various sports have been organized for a long time, but PC or console gaming has not been among these sports. Kanaliiga's operations started in the fall of 2018, so that players in working life could play a little more competitively with their coworkers. The first tournament was organized in the game PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS, and now e.g. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rocket League and Dota 2. Games are organized every month and the Kanaliiga already has hundreds of teams and thousands of players. Kanaliiga works with volunteers and the steadily expanded activities are developed according to the feedback of the community and partners.

Gaming acts as a unifying factor within companies, which helps to create team spirit and create new networks within large companies. All company teams can participate in the Kanaliiga, and companies from many different industries have participated. The players who have participated in the tournaments have been experienced players as well as fresh talents - so you don't have to be a professional player to participate. Between the longer season-shaped games there are different types of shorter tournaments.

With the feedback we received from the players, companies have experienced athletics as a very positive and unifying thing. Today, sports reach people in their 20s and 30s very effectively.
