The Titans haven't played since they competed in Asia on April 12. Their next scheduled match is back in North America this upcoming weekend.
The team said in their letter to the fans that the decision was made because of logistical hurdles coordinating the roster in Asia while management remained in North America.
ESPN reported there was conflict between the players and organization over the need to play and practice from home rather than a facility or teamhouse of some kind. The players faced technical difficulties as a result of this setup and boycotted practice, according to the ESPN report. The players and the team were unable to resolve their differences.
This change leaves the Titans with no roster just a few days away from their first Overwatch League match in nearly a month. ESPN reported that the Titans have signed five players from Second Wind -- Caden , Dalton , ShRedLock , Coluge and Roolf -- but the move has yet to be confirmed.
The Titans previous roster went on a record-breaking 19-match win streak in their inaugural 2019 season and finished the regular season with the league's best record. They lost in the grand finals to the San Francisco Shock. Two Titans players were nominees for the league's MVP award and DPS Haksal won the Rookie of the Year award. Two Titans players won Role Stars awards and three others were honorable mentions.
Most of the roster had played together as far back as 2018 when they played for Runaway and several of them had been together since the beginning of 2017.
