Halo Report's: An Off-season Tracker Of OWL Roster Reports

 

By Arran "Halo" Brown

With the 2021 Overwatch League Off-Season well underway, I am back to provide you with the latest roster moves that are currently happening from the Leagues twenty teams. 2021 has been the most active off-season's in the esports history and below I will provide you with an up to date list of all the reported roster moves reported by myself, as we continue to go through the off-season.

Now, while this is the first year that I am providing a list, it is due to it being a popular request for fans to remember what I have reported. I will keep this updated with each reported move I have shared over the course of the off-season and as I have received feedback in the past regarding the terminology I use regarding my reports, 2021 will see me introduce below what is an actual report. For the sake of clarity, I am only considering the reported moves as announced in the example below and not the rumours in my overall percentage. This is due to the rumours I am sharing are not being confirmed moves and are intended to advise fans where teams a looking, while my reports are me officially reporting on the moves I have reported.

According to sources = Deal is done/virtually done, read wording after.

Now we have this cleared up, I want to advise that this will be updated so please make sure to check back if you want to make sure what moves I have reported. Let's get into the reports!

Incorrect Reports

¹ Young-Hun "MuZe" Kim to the Florida Mayhem -  Joined The Los Angeles Gladiators.

² Gyu-Min "Sanguinar" Lim to the Florida Mayhem - Now a Free Agent 

³ Damon "Apply" Conti to the London Spitfire - Free Agent 

¹ ² These were due to me misinterpreting information from a set of new sources. 

³ Mistake by myself 

⁴ Due to the exceptional circumstances that Avalla and Derrick find themselves in, I have actively decided to not report on any Paris Eternal moves this off-season as a one off. 

This list will chop and change as we go but I hope to not only provide you with correct reports but help keep providing you with updates that provide great discussion points throughout the off-season
