Is Prep going to sign someone else other than Classic to take part in this? Onsyde is most likely going to take the 1st place no matter what.

One more correction: It seems League-A is WTL Playoffs format, not regular season format, according to the Chinese announcement ?

SOS? Is he the same as sOs?

Keep in mind sOs didn't retire because he is going to the military. He retired because of lack of results.

I see. That means he is real sOs then. He must change his mind somewhen within the past year (probably because of the rising herO).

That seems to indicate that Creator and DRG have found a new team? (Or, god forbid, retired)

They weren't going to be on the team regardless. The pro team of NV is gone so they were released and are as of now free agents.

But Bunny can't play on another team in the WTL if he sign up with club NV no?

I need to confirm with admins about exact details, but I believe he could if he transferred before roster lock.
EDIT: Oh nvm. Club NV won't be playing in the qualifier. I guess something changed on their end.
