For some Overwatch League teams, a total rebuild is the only way towards future success. As an organization, Vancouver Titans has little choice but to lean into this idea after its 1-15 record in the 2021 season. The team will part ways with its entire roster heading into the 2022 season, according to an announcement from today. This includes DPS players Jiri “LiNkzr” Masalin, Dalton Bennyhoff, and Kim “Teru” Min-ki, as well as tanks Moon “ChangSik” Chang-sik and Nathan “frdwnr” Goebel and supports Anthony “Fire” King and Randal “Roolf” Stark.

With a 2-1 victory over G2 Esports in the first round of the IEM Fall playoffs, ENCE has secured themselves a place at the PGL Stockholm Major via a Challengers spot. With this result, one team among Copenhagen Flames, Team Fiend, Movistar Riders, and potentially, FaZe Clan will end up missing out on Stockholm altogether. The series started on Mirage, with a frustrating start for G2 as they struggled to get safe bomb plants down on their T-side. ENCE’s AWPs were hitting everything, but G2 rallied with some big rounds

Philadelphia Fusion DPS Kim “Rascal” Dong-jun announced today that he’s parting ways with the team and retiring from professional play in the Overwatch League. In a personal post on Twitter, he said he’ll instead be pursuing a coaching career in the league next year.   Rascal has been one of the league’s most impressive flex DPS players since the inaugural season when he

The International 10 kicked off earlier today, marking the start of the biggest event in Dota 2 history. Following issues with the event ticket and other technical problems that saw matches start a full hour later than scheduled, TI10’s opening day saw 18 teams playing 20 different series across both groups.

The London Spitfire didn’t have a successful year in the Overwatch League, but this doesn’t come as a surprise since GM Ysabel “Noukky” Müller told fans at the beginning of the year not to expect much. Although the franchise’s goal is to develop European talent, quite a few of those talents are moving on. The Spitfire released a plethora of roster changes this morning, announcing that it’s parting ways with Daniel “Hadi” Bleinagel, Kristian “Kellex” Keller, Mikkel “Molf1g” Djernes, Dom “Hybrid” Grove, and Jeffrey “blasé” Tsang.
