Whereas Zellsis has publicly commented relating to his now unrestricted free agent standing, leaf has saved quiet.
Whereas a delisting from the GCD solely technically signifies that a contract has expired, which might doubtlessly be resolved by a participant re-signing with their org resembling Tyson “TenZ” Ngo did with Sentinels, different reviews point out that C9 is shifting in a brand new route.

Given how related their agent swimming pools are, if the reviews of OXY heading to C9 are true, it signifies that leaf is probably going on his manner out until he and C9 are cooking up a serious function change for one of many league’s prime duelists.
There was some buzz about leaf linking up with the previous members of The Guard, who’re and not using a main duelist since parting methods with Ian “tex” Botsch.
