With another WTL Season in the books, we are very likely going to see some contracts ending and players being signed in anticipation of the Winter Season campaign.

You know what that means, right? It's time for WTL Silly Season!

Does Team Rotti enter WTL? Will DPG buy ENCE to collect the final Infinity Stone? Are Onsyde or Basilisk arming themselves for the qualifiers? Let's collect the rumours, the announcements, and everything in between.

Free Agents

  • (Wiki)Bunny - Team NV disbanded.
  • (Wiki)Creator - Team NV disbanded.
  • (Wiki)DRG - Team NV disbanded.
  • (Wiki)SKillous - contract with GP has run out.
  • (Wiki)Has - Has leaves PREP eSPORTS.
  • (Wiki)ByuL - ByuL leaves PREP eSPORTS.


Confirmed Transfers

  • PREP eSPORTS signs (Wiki)Classic. (Source)
  • Onsyde confirms signing (Wiki)Solar (Source)
  • Team GP signs (Wiki)NightMare (Source)


Rumoured Transfers

  • Onsyde may be interested in Creator, according to someone working with WTL. This seems now unlikely, since they already signed Solar.

DPG ENCE Serral and DPG would be the greatest team ever created

Basilisk = HSC team right ? Also, one Chinese fan of Team NV keens on creating new team for disbanding Team NV members.

Onsyde Gaming should get Solar into their team.

Btw, with NV disbanded, does that mean next WTL qualifier will have 3 slots?

Likely the case, probably just will add a 3rd place match for the single elim quali.

It's not exactly a "transfer" but Classic has just joined PREP esport, looks like they'll be serious contender to get back to the WTL!

Also TeamSuper seems to have lost a bunch of players lately, I wonder if Trigger will jump ship, maybe a Future-Trigger team up on AlphaX?
Oh, and while I'm on the subject of NA teams, Nina has joined LTK, not sure how her form latelly, but if she get back to it, there could be some upset potential in the qualifiers from them.

[RUMOR]
Onsyde is considering to sign Creator
I m not sure how much merir is to it, but it was stated from an industy person related to the chinese scene.
So I gues, they are considering it, but most likely are in early process of negotioations, if it is actually acuarate to begin with

Relying on one single player to allkill the qualification is generally not a good idea. Like PREP with only Has last winter or Dominaticus during the same season with Hellraiser. Recruiting Classic clearly helps, but there's still no high calibre 3rd player in their roster.

I can see Trigger in the main AX team if he comes back, but certainly not Future at his current pace (and if the team sends the Drakes, how it ended in the latest qualifications ...). As for LTK, even worse than PREP.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

I think PREP with Has and Classic is better team than any of the teams currently lined-up on the starting block, except for Onsyde obviously, a third player would be welcome, but not necessarily needed. One or two player can definitly hard carry a team, Firefly pretty much got SSLT to the league all by himself last season. For Trigger, I meant as a Drake player, I can't see him getting a spot on the main roaster, but it's all baseless speculation on my part tbh lol.

As for LTK I agree that their current roaster is probably not good enough to qualify, even I Nina ends up playing her best Starcraft, but with her maybe they can take down a team or two.

Depends on how serious Basilisk is and how aggressive Onsyde's recruitment is, expect the NV crop be copped up quickly. Plus KZ will be looking to reinforce after Solar's departure.

I Don t expect Serral, Showtime or Gabe to join the League, they are all in well respected Organisations for a long time now and seem to be very happy to with their contracts there

I would add Skillous to the list of free agents.

Maybe ENCE, MOUZ and BIG could form a new team as a joint venture to get the trio of Serral, HeRoMaRinE and ShoWTimE into the league? I have something like Axiom-Acer from GSTL in mind.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

If I recall correctly, WTL didn't accept collab teams like that, they'd rather have real teams. Which I honestly agree with.

I m sure it s not so much the players wanting to join, but the owner having the cash ready to pay all of them.
Since Onsyde kinda rushed their entry into the scene, I doubt they will be able to pick more than one of them
