In a conversation, Josh "Sideshow" Wilkinson, Overwatch League analyst, Scott "Custa" Kennedy, Los Angeles Valiant support, and Alberto "neptuNo" González, former Philadelphia Fusion support, revealed a large number of fairly significant acquisitions during this off-season. If these revelations prove to be true, we could see many more changes for the upcoming season. To date, none of these transfers occurred.
First information, revealed by Custa, Dallas Fuel would have been interested in his return by exchanging him with Closer. Los Angeles Valiant wasn't interested, Closer being too expensive for the team. That's not all for Dallas Fuel as they would have signed Gamsu for a $240,000 salary. According to gamehaus, if the figure is not confirmed, the market has been confirmed by their sources.
Still Dallas Fuel, this time with the acquisition of OGE by Los Angeles Gladiators. The Gladiators would also have signed SPACE from Los Angeles Valiant for a lot of money.
Sizeable information also for LA Valiant: this year's budget would be much smaller. No player would be paid more than $50-60,000.
Finally, three big news for Toronto Defiant with the signing of Agilities and Kariv from Los Angeles Valiant, and Surefour from Los Angeles Gladiators. If the information is true, Toronto Defiant would be in an excellent position with extremely strong players, not to mention the recent arrival of Féfé — who will bring all his coaching experience to the team.
Finally, we learned that neptuNo wouldn't have been approached by Toronto because of its potential toxicity.
We'll know more in the next few weeks!
