Good News Everyone!

First things first, this TwitLonger is coming out at the same time as a rather major announcement for EU competitive SMITE and I highly recommend reading that before continuing on (http://titan.pro/news/read/SMITE-Adventure-Ends/57)!



So with that out of the way, the big news is that Titan is kaput! As a roster, we're (mostly) parting ways, I know a few of the guys have some really awesome announcements themselves so I won't spoil them, but needless to say they've definitely got a bright future for Season 3 and I'm super happy for them. The main point I want to stress is that the split was amicable. We all remain great friends and I'm truly grateful for the year and a half we had together. We achieved some amazing things, but despite this I think we all recognised that we hadn't been working well as a unit for some time, and decided that a split was the best way to go. It's an end of an era for me personally, and as sad as I am to see it end, I'm very excited at future prospects.



So, what am I doing for Season 3? Playing of course! I will be standing side by side with the best hair in SMITE, PrettyPriMe as we look to make a new team for Season 3. We don't have a roster in place yet, but we'll be hand picking from a wide pool of talent with the aim of creating a team that'll be lifting Mjolnir 12 months from now. I feel that me and Prime have always gotten on extremely well and have very similar views when it comes to competition and SMITE. He's someone I feel very fortunate to call a good friend, and to top it off he's not half bad at SMITE either!



On a personal note, I'll be going into the deep-end and committing quite heavily to streaming. I'm planning to maintain a streaming schedule in the very short term, looking at 6-8 hour streams at least 5 days a week and really building a community. I had the pleasure of rooming with Incon at the SWC (who is a real stand up guy, by the way) and got to pick his brain about starting from scratch. In addition to that, I got some great pointers from Golden Boy (also another real stand up guy. Fuck it, shout outs to the analysts and casters at the SWC, I love you guys :D) and the two have got me pretty hyped to get into it! At the start it'll be a bit rough-going as I try to find my stride in terms of scheduling, and I'll be rebuilding assets and identity (emotes, sub badge) as I go along, but I figured the first and foremost step should be the actual streaming, and then the polish can come in later!



I'd like to say a BIG thank you and shout out to everyone who has supported me thus far. I am absolutely in love with esports and I cannot imagine doing anything else right now, and I truly believe the only reason I get to do what I do is because of you fine folks. You literally allow me to live my dream life, which leads me on to essentially the theme of this year for me; giving back to you guys!

My first competitive online gaming experience comes from Starcraft II and I owe a big part of my current mindset to Day9. He is an inspiration not just to gamers, but to people all around the world and I want to be able to pass along what he taught me through his Day9 dailies to the SMITE community. It's definitely going to be a slow-burn, taking on streaming first and foremost and expanding to media forms like YouTube later on.



So yeah, that's it! Thanks for reading my rant, I'm really excited for 2016 and I can't wait to see where I am this time next year. With hope and happiness and a little bit of determination, I'll be lifting that hammer next year for the finest people I know; you guys.
