Inside Look: Toronto Defiant’s New L.A. Digs

Toronto's new Overwatch esports franchise, the Toronto Defiant, have found a new home in Los Angeles ahead of their season opener on February 15, 2019 — and it’s got eight bedrooms, a basketball court and an outdoor pool!

Front office staff have landed a Team House in Beverly Hills, that will be shared by all eight  players while they live in LA throughout the 2019 season. While the place still needs a touch of Toronto-branding and a whole lot of tech and computer equipment, the team is sharing photos of their new digs with their fans.

Here's the first look at where Envy, Neko, Ivy, Yakpung, Aid, Stellar, Asher and RoKy will call home:

The 2019 Overwatch season gets going for the Defiant on February 15, 2019 (4pm PST, 7pm ET) when they take on the Houston Outlaws at Blizzard Arena.

The full 2019 Toronto Defiant schedule was released last week, with the juicy all-Canadian match up on tap for May 3. On June 14, Defiant will take on the London Spitfire, the 2018 Champions.  July 6, the team will travel to Atlanta to take on the Reign in one of the three away games for Overwatch Season 2.

More photos and video content will be shared with fans as the team lands and settles in California in the new year. To keep up with the latest, make sure to follow @TorontoDefiant on TwitterInstagram and Facebook.
