The Overwatch franchise team for Vancouver made their official announcement on December 1st and will be joining the Overwatch League in 2019. The team's name is ‘Vancouver Titans', and as many fans in the Overwatch community anticipated, the players are from RunAway, the team that swept the Overwatch Contenders KR. It is quite significant how every member of RunAway, the team that dominated the KR Contenders, got to join the 2019 Overwatch League. As the Overwatch League and regional Contenders were systemized in 2018, it was also the first year the players from the Contenders got to officially join the League. During this period, they had to test how smoothly the process of the Contenders players joining the League would go and how the Overwatch esports ecosystem would function around both the League and Contenders. During that process, every single member of RunAway made it to a League team, living up to their name as ‘the best regional Contenders team in KR'.
The 2nd round for the 2vs2 Charity Tournament in All-Star 2018 Las Vegas took place on 7th. The Captian Jack & Faker duo who have made it from the quarterfinals played against the NA Doublelift and Voyboy duo. Both teams mirrored Thresh and Alistar, in which the Doubleboy team wins and gets to donate $100,000 to charity under their names. The first match in the quarterfinals began with Captain Jack & Faker against LEC's Caps & Alexelcapo. Captain Faker, which have displayed impressive performance in the 1st round, got both Lucian and Alistar banned and got to pick Varus and Xerath. AlexelCapso's Lissandra and Morgana got to get the first blood. They were able to eliminate Faker with their CC combo when he didn't have his Cleanse. However, Captain Jack's Varus was able to make up for that 1 kill by calmly blocking enemy's additional attacks. The team that got to laugh at the end was Captain FAker.

It's the third year of the Overwatch World Cup. Team South Korea has claimed the 1st place for two consecutive years, guarding the country's reputation as an Overwatch powerhouse. Even when the team members changed, the results didn't. Before the playoffs even started, Team South Korea was brimming with confidence, as if their victory was already assured. However, the players seemed to feel different in this year's interview. The perfect results from the previous 2 years - a matter of immense pride for many Overwatch fans in Korea - has become an immense weight for the newly-selected South Korean players. While Korean players have stayed on top through playing in numerous APEX games, the players abroad have been also improving by playing in the Overwatch League.
