With the Esports World Cup officially in the rearview mirror, the 2025 CDL Rostermania has officially begun. After disappointing seasons for many companies, don’t be surprised if some teams redesign their platforms.
Instead of starting the offseason after the CDL Championship like most seasons, that date was pushed back to accommodate the first esports World Championship.
At the last Rostermania, Draza went to FaZe, Kenny went to OpTich, and Sib traded Priesta and stole the show in the offseason. Toronto opened the window with a surprising move, and we expect a number of other results as companies look to compete for top-four talent.
Free agency officially begins on August 19, 2024, which means organizations can negotiate with players and sign new contracts.
The 2024 CDL season began on December 8, 2023. Activision has yet to confirm when the next season will begin. But regardless of when the first round of Black Ops 6’s online qualifiers begin, fans can expect to see significant revenue from the team in the coming months.
