Overwatch League roster changes for the 2019 season

The Overwatch League’s first season has come to an end, and while the World Cup is coming up to fill in the competitive Overwatch gap, the League action will continue with roster moves all through the off season.

Though teams like the Fusion, Spitfire, Valiant and NYXL might be in pretty good shape, there’s still plenty of reason to make a few roster alterations. As for everyone else, there’s no question that major roster changes are likely on the horizon as every team aims to improve their standings heading into Season 2.

Free agents can be signed by the League’s new expansion teams from Sept. 9 to Oct. 7. Following that window, every team in the league can sign any player. Contenders players who are not currently affiliated with an Overwatch League team will also have the same signing window as free agents.

This post will be updated to help you keep track of every player and team heading into the 2019 season of the Overwatch League.
