《鬥陣特攻》OWL隊伍舊金山震動甫連霸聯賽冠軍不到兩天,陣中輔助選手Moth便在今晨發推尋找新東家,但隨後又刪文並表示他搞不懂此刻到底可否發文。對此,聯賽副總裁Jon Spector稍早推特發文澄清,自由選手轉會窗口將於下周展開,在此前聯盟會主動公開選手合約情況,而選手也可自行公開,但嚴格說起來選手直到10月23日或11月20日前都還不是自由選手身分,也算是替Moth釋疑。
儘管隨隊獲得兩座聯賽冠軍,Moth還是於今晨透過個人推特昭告天下,他將尋求新隊伍,但卻又刪文引人好奇,隨後Moth再度發文寫下「有些人說我可以發文但其他人又說不行,所以我也搞不懂」。
沒過多久,OWL聯賽副總裁Jon Spector出面澄清,他先是表示從即日起隊伍可以開始向聯賽辦公室提供選手交易審查,而自由選手的轉會窗口將會在下周正式開啟,在此前聯盟將會主動揭露選手的合約狀況,選手也可以自行公布,隊伍方面也是如此;但嚴格說起來,選手直到10月23日或11月20日前都還不是自由選手身分,視他們的合約內容而定。
Today marks the first day @overwatchleague teams can make trades for 2021, and free agency opens up at the end of next week. I'm seeing a lot of inaccurate info already, so here's a quick attempt at correcting the record where I can now on a few points. (1/4)

Players may choose to share their contract status with fans, and some teams will announce roster moves in real time, though many pending free agents do not technically become free agents until October 23 or November 20 depending on when they originally signed with the team. (3/4)

Jon Spector也說,所有隊伍經理都可以透過數據庫查看聯盟每位選手的合約狀況,包括是否存在隊伍選項,所以對於有意願簽下選手的隊伍來說,目標選手的合約狀況不會是個新聞。
That said, team GMs have access to a database that shows all the players currently signed to each team and when those contracts expire, including any option years. So players posting that they’re becoming free agents shouldn’t be news to any teams that are interested. (4/4)

對此,震動隊經理Chris Chung同樣出現釋疑,他指出Moth目前仍是陣中的一員,但同時毫無疑問的他也是2021賽季的自由選手,所以對於震動隊本身及其他19支隊伍來說,Moth的身分都是2021賽季的自由選手,「我可以說的是,我們並不滿足於兩座冠軍,我們的目標是三連霸」。
