Luminosity Gaming in the esports industry
On Aug. 21, it was announced that Vertiqal Studios has acquired both Luminosity Gaming and Omnia Media from Enthusiast Gaming. The Canadian team currently competes in Apex Legends, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros, Pokémon Unite, Mortal Kombat, Pokémon GO, and PUBG, and includes one of the most successful Fighting Game Community (FGC) players, Dominique "SonicFox" McLean.
In 2016, Luminosity Gaming claimed the MLG Major Championship: Columbus, the first-ever held in North America, with its legendary Brazilian roster featuring Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, and Marcelo "coldzera" David. They then left for SK Gaming, and the team had never reached the same heights. After focusing on the Brazilian scene, LG returned to North America and has continued to field teams in various popular esports.

As a result of the acquisition, Vertiqal Studios has expanded its presence across YouTube, Twitch, and other social media platforms. The goal is to scale cross-platform capabilities, complementing its existing offerings on TikTok and Snapchat.
The acquisition follows Enthusiast Gaming's divestment from Luminosity Gaming. In fact, the company’s CEO recently revealed during its Q2 2025 earnings call that the organization was not part of its future plans. Consequently, with Luminosity Gaming no longer in its portfolio, Enthusiast Gaming will now shift its focus to other products. Specifically, this includes Icy Veins and the online mobile game publication Pocket Gamer.
“This acquisition represents a significant step forward for Vertiqal, allowing us to scale with existing customers full-funnel across the digital advertising ecosystem,” said Jon Dwyer, Chairman and CEO of Vertiqal. Vertiqal Studios will purchase Luminosity Gaming and Omnia for C$900,000 ($647,728) with the deal set to close on Sept. 5, 2025.
