Tim Holloway, director of Eesports for Aquilini Entertainment, says he’s excited for the new group to not only represent the franchise but also to engage and grow with the community.
“As a group they are excited to play for and engage with Titans fans in Vancouver and across the Pacific Northwest,” said Holloway in a written statement.
The Titans’ original players, which were selected from a popular Korean team called RunAway, mutually parted ways with the organization after challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new team will have to adapt quickly, as they have two games scheduled for the weekend. On Saturday, they’ll play the Washington Justice, and on Sunday, they’ll play the Florida Mayhem.
