Titan shuts down as an organization

The Singapore based e-Sports organization, Titan, will cease all operations as enclosed by Damien Grust, CEO and founder, on their website.

Titan had put up star players and teams to rise in mostly all of the games they put their hands on, including Quake, Dota 2, SMITE and, CS:GO, among others. KennyS and ScreaM in CS:GO, for example, showed their peak performances when they were in Titan.

Their French/Belgian CS:GO roster is now without professional backing as Titan decides to pack up and pull out as they are now facing financial issues. As stated in the announcement, after Titan’s CS:GO player Hovik “KQLY” Tovmassian got a VAC ban and was hence barred from all professional competitions, sponsors and partners backed out of deals for 2015. Titan still however, managed to keep their performance up and saw top three finishes including silver medals at ASUS ROG Winter, Inferno Online Challenge Pantamera, and ESL Pro League Winter 2014/2015 finals in 2015.

Titan shuts down

Quote – “Sponsors and partners with whom we were about to sign, understandably backed out of deals, not wanting to be associated with a company that had just been tarnished. Needless to say, our budget for 2015 had gone up in smoke from one day to another.” explains CEO Damien Grust in a statement. “This means that as of today, Titan is ceasing operations and releasing all current players and staff into this beautiful esports wilderness. Our CS:GO team will move on and hopefully find a new home worthy of their loyalty and determination.”, he added.

Titan made the news official on their website following the team’s departure.

  • Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans
  • Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom
  • Cédric “RpK” Guipouy
  • Richard “shox” Papillon
  • Edouard “SmithZz” Dubourdeaux

The case is completely black and the paint job is terrific. All credit goes to the steel and plastic of panels and stands for complementing the color. The Antec logo in gray color sits in the middle of the front panel and it is really cynosure of all eyes. Mesh grill in front panel acts as a ventilator for the frontal fans.

Side Panels: Side panels have been forced out to allow more space inside the chassis. It also allows space for cable management. Also, front and back stands provide enough grip to hold the case.

Top Panel: Again, exhaust systems have been provided on the top by making the top panel by mesh grill. An external hard drive slot is also given on the top, which, by the way, is not supported by the basic version. Also available on the top are the integrated fan controller, restart button, audio jacks, and power switch, which is quite easy to reach and press.

Thorin mocks Shaq on Live TV at NBA-TNT live from CES

The arguments between Esports and traditional sports personalities are seen at every corner of the world. We are often said to have failed to explain others about the potential of our sports and the possibility of the traditional sport bearers getting convinced is rare.

That’s what happened during a showmatch between OpTicGaming and LoungeGaming at E-League live at NBA-TNT desk. While analyzing the match Thorin while speaking about how ‘ShahZam’ thrashed and flopped the dreams of LoungeGaming in winning, mocked the star ex-NBA player Shaq’O Neal of his flop box office movie, Kazaam—a jab that is right on point for Inside the NBA, which is known for its playful banter.

The guys at NBA desk also did respond in the same manner:

 

Thorin: “Problem for them is ShahZam, he turned up. And I am not talking about Kaazam, that terrible movie that Shaq made in the 90’s. I tell you what, it was a terrible movie for the Lounge guys, they didn’t want to see any part of that. What do you think about that?

Richard Lewis: “Takes a lot of steel to say that brother.”

Shaq O’Neal: “We can play any game you want in a couple of weeks. I’ll make you eat those words buddy. We challenge you three.”

Thorin: “What about weight loss? Should we do that?

Shaq O’Neal: “What about muscles? What about boxing—when I come over there and punch you in the face? This is America, the Queen can’t help you out.”

It was a bit of harmless fun from Shields, whose target was a man who proudly stated earlier today that esports was, in fact, a sport—an opinion that some of his peers may not share.

Unknown Indian CS:GO lineup with retired players is being formed for IEM

Unknown Indian CS:GO lineup with retired players is being formed for IEM

Reportedly some of the top Indian players which formerly retired after humiliating losses are returning back to the scene after Intel Extreme Masters reserved a slot for an Asian team. This newly formed team will be representing India at IEM Asian qualifiers which will be held later this year, dates of which aren’t announced yet.

Intel Extreme Masters

Indian Esports is not a joke, no really trust us, please? Ok, you win.

Although skeptically, but yeah, you do have a good sense of knowledge about the scene here. But, what’s in for this time? Another top player banned? or line-up broke? Nahhhh, this is another roster formation. Hey, please be serious, this is seriously a CS:GO professional national roster of top world-class players representing their nation in an international gaming esports tournament and this team will stay for longer than the participating event would complete.

Reportedly, a set of retired players are coming back to form a new team just to participate in another international level event, only to disbands days later. But is this right though? What about some of the professional organization bearing them without wins and paying them salaries? We have NeckBREAK, Elunes, Brutality and some of the under-developed in the community trying to build the scene but what about these “back-from-the-dead” players who completely over-rule the current scenario and just to attain fame and extend their ego even further, participate in international events?

Ace back from the retirement. Source: Tejas Ace Sawant
Ace back from the retirement. Source: Tejas Ace Sawant

We’re talking about here is the newly formed roster which will be attending the Intel Extreme Masters 2016 Asian qualifiers, the line-up as we have been able to derive is:

  • Tejas ‘Ace’ Sawant – retired
  • Ayush ‘astaRRRRR Deora – retired
  • Mithil ‘MithilF’ Sawant – freelancing / inactive
  • Manan ‘Manan’ Bhat – formerly tMg
  • Gokul ‘dnm’ Sagar – formerly Virtual Impact

Now not to forget these players haven’t revived suddenly from nowhere, they are were a part of some organization but they only quit to participate in this event and they will be again back to business, some with Goodbye sympathetic updates and some complaining how life is difficult being an eSports professional in India, oh the irony!

We got some of the top professionals (yes this time we mean literally) to hear their opinions on how these greedy swaps and opportunistic decisions ruins the community conduct and future of Esports in world’s largest democracy.

It’s ridiculous. Once you make a retirement post, make sure you stay retired. Want to make a comeback? Come back and teach/coach the young blood of the country.

– Sid Joshi, Manager, Team NeckBREAK

They announce they have retired. I guess they dont know the meaning or difference between retiring and taking a break. The amount of coordination they show in changing lineups and making new teams, if they could show 10 percent of that in building a team and coordinate well in game, we could do wonders.

(Name hidden on request)

We should definitely have a governing body which would decide who does what and who gets a chance to play. There should be a code of conduct and the way things are being dealt with. It is really difficult for us as well, keeping the records on who’s playing for whom?

The more we have inconsistency the more we’d lack professionalism and skills. These players really swap teams faster than toddlers does diapers. This is me personally asking the community to answer and respond strictly this time. To be a less patriotic and boycott cheering for this interim roster, players of which will choose either ways after losing spontaneously, once again.

EDIT:

We have got a lot of feedback from the community and the majority is supporting the lineup which played under the name Virtual Impact (Venom, Ace, RiX, dnm, Manan) against Team THREAT in MixBot Pro League #2 defeating them 16/14 with powerpact performance by Ankit ‘V3nom’ Panth.

Zonic to coach Question Mark TQM for 2016

Following rumors of zonic joining in mTw after the world-class former roster was back in action. In a tweet recently by the former TSM players who are currently playing under ‘?’, they announced the possibility and efficiency of Zonic to coach Question Mark.

In a bid to the potential of the team, ex-TSM, currently Team Questionmark, have reached Danny “zonic” Sørensen and signed him as their coach. Sørensen left Danish team mTw to pursue goals with the ex-TSM roll.

When we decided to get a coach for 2016, the entire team agreed that only Danny [zonic] would fit as the 6th man on our team. With his vast experience as a top tier player, Danny is able to help us improve on both communication and tactics, while also being aware of what is expected of a professional player. ”

– Karrigan

Zonic to coach Question Mark

I am excited about being given the chance to work with one of the best squads in the world. The team did amazing last year, but their goal of becoming the absolutely best in the world made this something I couldn’t say no to. At the same time I would like to thank mTw for their help in this, as well as Dignitas for a great time.

– Zonic

TQM now has:

  • Finn ”karrigan” Andersen
  • Nicolai ”device” Reedtz
  • Peter ”dupreeh” Rasmussen
  • Andreas ”Xyp9x” Højsleth
  • René ”cajunb” Borg
  • Danny ‘’zonic’’ Sørensen – Coach
