The global economy is at a crossroads with the US dollar’s future as the world reserve currency facing fresh challenges. For decades, the stability and dominance of the dollar have given the United States significant advantages in global trade, investment, and geopolitical influence.

Overwatch League teams often like to keep their contract details private, waiting to announce changes once the fancy graphics and teary goodbye posts are in order. Every year, though, the league itself puts a damper on these plans by releasing a Player Contract Status update that includes offseason information for every player in the league.  The update lets fans know if their favorite players will be retained by teams or sent into the offseason madness that is free agency. Retained players will either have existing contracts or new contracts heading

Underperforming teams are often the first to make offseason moves in the Overwatch League, but even champions have to refine their squad.  The Shanghai Dragons announced today that rookie DPS Chae “Develop” Rak-hoon would become a free agent during the 2021 offseason.

The end of the 2021 Overwatch League season and the victory of the Shanghai Dragons gave a proper send-off to the first “era” of competitive Overwatch. With news that the fifth season of the league will kick off in April 2022 on an early build of Overwatch 2, teams are now looking to build rosters worthy of taking on the Dragons next year.
