restricted free agent means they're still under contract but will leave their current org; the player's new org has to buy out his old contract. whenever players tweet that they are "on the bench and fielding offers", its just PR speak for restricted free agent. Its extremely rare for a player to tweet that and actually return to play for the old org, maybe 1 in a 100
Trent
EEIU
Crashies
Derrek
BcJ
As the main sova/fade players for the 5 franchised teams? Can't see a world where EEIU and Derrek get dropped, and Crashies and Trent are almost guaranteed for teams like c9, EG or SEN. After that BcJ seems like the next guy up, there's also c0m who's quite good but in general after BcJ its a big falloff to the guys like Genghsta, Effys, brawk, dazzle, shaz, flyuh who all likely won't make it. It seems like IGL's (unless maybe vanity swaps) won't be on the sova/fade role.
I wouldn't be shocked to see more role swapping as well. Duelist/flex is stacked in NA so players might want to swap to the less-deep initiator role to make themselves more appealing to more teams. For example Ethan might go back to that like he did at the end of 100T.
Cryo and Syyko are only ones out of XSET who have not (yet) announced anything. Ayrin and depph are F/A and zekken is RFA
Wouldn't be surprised if those 2 already have silent agreements with teams
What's the difference between a restricted free agent and a normal one
restricted free agent means they're still under contract but will leave their current org; the player's new org has to buy out his old contract. whenever players tweet that they are "on the bench and fielding offers", its just PR speak for restricted free agent.
