| Overwatch League teams often like to keep their contract details private, waiting to announce changes once the fancy graphics and teary goodbye posts are in order. Every year, though, the league itself puts a damper on these plans by releasing a Player Contract Status update that includes offseason information for every player in the league. The update lets fans know if their favorite players will be retained by teams or sent into the offseason madness that is free agency. Retained players will either have existing contracts or new contracts heading into 2022. Teams can also use what’s called a “team option” to retain a player for an additional season before they head into free agency. Free agents, or players who can hear offers and take negotiations from any team in the league, are categorized in two ways. If a team decided to not extend a contract or use their team option, the update will say “2022 option declined.” If a player’s contract simply expired, that will also be stated on the update. It’s a massive list, so if you’re looking for the biggest takeaways from this year’s post, we’ve got you covered. Big stars are heading into free agency Most of the free-agent reveals in the post shouldn’t come as much of a surprise; players often say they’re actively searching for a new home far before teams officially announce anything. This year’s Contract Status update, however, answered a few burning questions about the league’s most popular players. Matthew “super” DeLisi, main tank for the San Francisco Shock and unofficial “face” of the Overwatch League, is now a free agent after his contract with the team expired. His tank partner Choi “ChoiHyoBin” Hyo-bin had his 2022 option declined by the Shock, adding to the two-time championship team’s bloodbath of an offseason. Another one of the Overwatch League’s most popular players, Indy “Space” Halpern of the Los Angeles Gladiators, is also apparently set for free agency after his contract expired. He clarified on Twitter that the Gladiators “want to keep” him, but he’d like to look at his options during the offseason. 메이저놀이터 Los Angeles Valiant is cleaning house Just kidding, this one isn’t a shocker. Considering the team went winless this season after a scandal-filled 2021, a full rebuild was pretty much guaranteed. The team’s social media has been silent, however, so this is the first confirmation we’ve had of any releases. Piggy is the lone remaining Houston Outlaw Houston has only officially released two players—main support Enrique “Joobi” Triana and main tank Cho “JJANGGU” Myung-heum—but the league’s contract status update revealed that nearly the entire team is exploring free agency. Only off-tank Shin “Piggy” Min-jun has had his contract renewed by the Outlaws, meaning team staples like Dante Cruz and player/coach Jake Lyon are on the market. |
