With about half of the 1st stage of the Overwatch League done, the free agency period for teams participating in the Overwatch League has been ongoing since the 22nd. Each team can now recruit players not under any contract with a League team during the free agent signing period, and the players recruited during this time will be able to play in the tournament as part of the team starting from February 21st, when the 2nd stage for the League begins.

Meanwhile, many outstanding players who haven’t been able to join the League have been gaining a lot of attention with the start of the free agency period. Notably, Dylan ‘aKm’ Bignet, who performed amazingly back in the OWWC but did not get to play in the League, has been evaluated as the free agent with the biggest potential by many Overwatch players, and he also revealed that he is finalizing negotiations with the Dallas Fuel via his Twitter on 28th.

Also, the word among many Overwatch players is that there may be additional contracts with Korean players originally from the APEX League. This rumor has from the fact that team Seoul, New York, and London, which consist mostly of Korean players, have placed themselves at the top of the standings, and because also Korean players, including EFFECT, Fate, Envy, Kariv, and STRIKER, have been playing exceptionally.
