The London Spitfire have announced the signing of former Runaway tank T1zi. He will be the second main tank and 11th player on the team's roster.

Speculation was rife that T1zi was headed to an Overwatch League team after he departed from the Runaway roster last month, leaving Bumper to fill his role in the Overwatch Team Story quarterfinals . With his name absent from the list of players on Academy rosters, many were certain the Spitfire would be his destination.

T1zi will now act as backup to Spitfire starting main tank Gesture, a role previously filled by Fissure. The London Spitfire opened two roster spots in between Stage 1 and Stage 2 when they traded away Rascal and Fissure.

This announcement comes just a day after the team revealed it would be splitting up with longtime Cloud 9 coach Bishop. Currently, the only coaches on the team's staff are Changgoon and Jfeel, former assistant coaches of APEX Season 4 champions GC Busan.

You can't have numbers in your tag in OWL so he'll probably be forced to change to TiZi

For people that don't get why they give fissure away but get t1zi,Glads probably payed a huge buyout for fissure and he probably wanted more playtime so now they got t1zi and presumably dding too which allows them to internal scrims again

T1Zi is a so good player, but he will be the Gesture substitute. He played from Runaway and compete versus GC Busan (GC Busan roster is on the LDN), so i think he knows the play mode of they.

Don't forget that Fissure wanted to play, but with Gesture being so good he just wouldn't have seen as much time as he'd wanted.

This is a good move for Fissure and London still get to have themselves a solid backup.
