Boston Uprising
Boston Uprising has a new Head Coach! Mineral — former Misfits and Florida Mayhem coach — joins the roster. Finishing 19th this season, it was quite logical to see this change. The choice remains surprising, regarding its unconvincing results with Florida Mayhem.
London Spitfire
OWL Season 1 Champions did not perform well this year. Finishing 7th, they were eliminated at the beginning of the Playoffs — crushed by ultra-dominant San Francisco Shock team in the loser bracket. They announced on Twitter the departure of one of their coaches — Jfeel — but also of three of their iconic players: Birdring, Guard and NUS.
London has announced the recruitment of a new Assistant Manager: hoonmaru.
Two excellent players leave the team and it's Gesture et Profit.
We were wondering who was going to replace the many departures of the coaching staff, and the answers finally arrived! Three new coaches arrive and Agape moves from the position of Assistant Coach to Head Coach.
- Twinkl is a Korean coach who worked at 02 Blast with whom he finished second.
- aWesomeGuy / SNT first played for Florida Mayhem before moving to a coaching position.
- Pavane left New York Excelsior, where he was head coach, to join the London Spitfire.
There is no doubt that it will be a significant addition to the team, which now has a strong coaching staff. The team's goal is to win next season, and you can feel it!
Coming straight from the Philadelphia Academy team: Fusion Academy here is the arrival of BERNAR and Fuze who reinforce the Spitfire roster! Bernar will have the heavy task of replacing Fury who recently left for Philadelphia Fusion!
London loses two of its support with the departure of Quatermain and Bdosin. With the two recent arrivals, however, the team remains only 3 players for the moment. There are many more arrivals to come, and the team should not look anything like what it has been so far.
New-York Excelsior
He hasn't had much opportunity to shine this season. It's logical that the 2017 World Cup prodigy, Yeon-oh "Fl0w3R" Hwang, is leaving the team. We hope to see him soon in a new roster.
Another major change is the departure of MekO, the team's talented off-tank. New York will have to recruit another player to compensate for this departure which could well weigh on the team. On the other hand, many teams could find themselves very interested in a profile like him!
Hotba, the former Guangzhou flex tank goes to New York Excelsior! He should play exclusively in the off-tank position for the team where he will replace MekO.
We know the new head coach from New York! This is imt, who is promoted from the position of assistant coach!
Paris Eternal
Finishing 14th overall this season, Paris Eternal failed to shine this year. As a consequence, A LOT of transfers happened lately.

Toronto Defiant
After Bubbly and Bishop have left, another member of the coaching staff has quit: Optidox. There are only two coaches left in the team that needed some changes with a 17th place.
Changes continue with the departure of Gods — a former Off-tank player — that was promoted from the Montreal Rebellion academic team on May 21.
It is now the turn of sharyk, Aid, and IM37 to leave the team.
