“As of tonight, I am an unrestricted free agent and LFT,” he said.

Similarly, Jake “POACH” Brumleve shared he is also an unrestricted free agent. However, William “Will” Cheng clarified he is a restricted free agent and looking for other opportunities. According to Dot Esports reporter Max “Purest” Katz, Raymond “Rarkar” Xu is benched.
