Like every year, the Overwatch League offseason is always an eventful phase. Many players and staff members become free agent while others are retiring.
It's all happening while some teams are desperate to acquire the star player of the season or try to keep one of their players who has received a more interesting offer from an other roster.
It's important to be aware of the changes that take place during this period to have an idea of what the 2021 season could look like.
The first concerned are the players since many become free agent, retired or change teams.
