## Overview

We formed a strategic partnership with ESL to address the issue of toxicity and abuse within the esports and gaming communities. Our collaboration empowered individuals and provided them with the tools and knowledge necessary to combat toxicity and abuse.

Through the partnership, we were able to leverage ESL's extensive network and influence in the esports industry to expand our impact and increase our presence within gaming communities worldwide. ESL, as a prominent organizer of esports events, provided us with a platform to raise awareness about online abuse and promote inclusive gaming without abuse and harassment.

## Our Goal

One of the key aspects of the partnership was ESL's amplification of our resources for gamers and esports players. By integrating our advice and support services into their own initiatives, ESL helped make these resources more accessible to individuals within the esports and gaming communities.

Our increased presence at ESL events played a crucial role in deepening our involvement within the gaming and esports industries. By participating in ESL's events, we engaged directly with the gaming community in comfortable and familiar environments.
