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'.
