Ottawa Pioneers Finish 3rd at Collegiate Apex Championship

Congrats to the Ottawa Pioneers on their 3rd place finish at the Octane Collegiate Apex Legends National Championship. After some intense group stage matches and the match point format grand finals, Ottawa got a podium finish.

Three teams dominated the Grand Finals with Fisher, Bellevue and Ottawa each exchanging blows in each game. Both Fisher and Bellevue got to match point and could secure a win in the following match. Ottawa needed a few more points and did secure them in what would be the final match of the series. However, in a stacked final 5 teams that consisted of all three of Fisher, Bellevue and Ottawa, Bellevue pulled out the victory, shutting out the hopes of our Ottawa Pioneers before they got a chance to play for the title.

Wyatt Tinsley Returns to Pioneers iRacing

Welcome back Wyatt Tinsley to the Pioneers! This is his 3rd season with the Pioneers. He started back in 2023 with the Pioneers as a rookie, and ran his 2nd year in the Coke series with the Pioneers as well. After taking a year off for school, he qualified again for the Coke series and has teamed up with Casey Kirwan to round out the Pioneers roster for 2026! The Pioneers look to continue their strong presence and standings in eNASCAR after a 4th place Team Finish last season with driver Casey Kirwan finishing 2nd overall! The season begins next week, with the first race happening at Charlotte Motor Speedway on August 19th!

KCP Finals Finishes Top 8 in Ape Squad Classic

KCP Finals falls short of Top 4 Grand Finals and more in the Ape Squad classic after a good season. Unfortunately, the bracket played out with a stacked side for the Pioneers squad, and they fell just short of success. Dropping to Team Retwist in the Upper Bracket 2-1, and He's Reaching the Lower Bracket 2-1.

The Finals Squad still has a ton to play for. The official TGM Qualifiers start the first online cycle on May 23rd, and we are still competing in PHL, currently in season. The next play day for PHL is tonight, May 13th. Tune in to support the squad.
