A total prize pool of US$10,000 (about C$13,700) is up for grabs, which will be split evenly between the Valorant and Street Fighter 6 tournaments. Valorant players can register here, while Street Fighter 6 players can sign up here. More information on ROG Masters North America 2026 can be found on Asus’ website.

Asus’ esports tournaments join a large lineup of Game Con programming. Other highlights include celebrity guests like Daredevil star Deborah Ann Woll and Canadian Mass Effect star Mark Meer, playable game demos, board games and tabletop games and more. Also that week is inaugural North American Games Industry Summit (NAGIS), an accompanying sister event to Game Con Canada featuring prominent speakers like Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell and several BioWare veterans.

Adult Game Con Canada tickets cost $45 (day pass) or $108 (weekend pass), with lower rates being offered to youth and kids. A $350 VIP pass including all of that, plus early entrance, bonus games and collectibles and more is also available.
