Who else is a free agent?

The Philadelphia Fusion star DPS duo of Josue ‘Eqo’ Corona and Jae-Hyeok ‘Carpe’ Lee are both free agents and big names to watch out for this off-season. Their firepower led the Fusion to a Grand Finals appearance in the league’s first season.

Another big name to look out for is Lane ‘Surefour’ Roberts. Surefour’s Widowmaker skills are among the best in the league and he has a proven track record of success with the Gladiators.
