The all-new Vancouver Overwatch franchise will officially be known as the Vancouver Titans.
The branding reveal happened before a Vancouver Canucks National Hockey League game, who share an ownership group with the new OWL team.
The new esports players lined up on the Canuck’s bench wearing the new Titans gear and showed off a jersey that the hockey team made for them.
A leak happened earlier that said the team would be called the Titans and showed a blue and green color scheme.
The leak ended up being partly true and was most likely an early draft of the final version, which has a brighter green and slightly different logo. The Vancouver Titans OWL logo can be seen below.

Also revealed was the Titans’ roster, which will be made up of former players from RunAway, a Korean Contenders team.
The RunAway were one of the best rosters not in the OWL last season as they won the 2018 Overwatch Contenders Season 2 in Korea.
Popular streamer Flowervin, who helped create RunAway, will be involved with Vancouver and was present at the branding reveal.
