Goodbye Titan
Singaporean eSports entity Titan bid farewell to the eSports scene.
Damien Grust, Founder & CEO of Titan, announced that money matters paved the way for Titan’s demise. According to his statement, the supposed budget for 2015 didn’t push through after their CS:GO players got banned for cheating.
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.
Titan ceased operation and Gurst thanks all their fans and supporters. He also thanked the haters and detractors as well. All the staff and members of Titan will be released in the “beautiful eSports wilderness” as told by Gurst.
He will remain in the eSports scene and is looking forward to what might happen in the future
Titan became one of the well-known Dota 2 teams in Southeast Asia after they picked up the former Orange players last 2013. Their roster was composed of Chong “Ohaiyo” Xin Khoo, Joel Chan “XtiNcT” Zhan, Lee “kYxY” Kong Yang, Chua “Ice” Chee Cai and Wai Pern “Net” Lim.
They won various tournaments in Southeast Asia and in international tournaments. They even got to the 9th-10th place of The International 2014. But after a few months, they announced the disbandment of their Dota 2 team.
