Libero has left the team. Meta's official twitter says:
"Libero has received a lot of good offers from OWL teams. We wanted to keep him in our roster and he also did a lot of efforts to stay in the team (we really appreciate it). We have reached an amicable settlement to release him. We want you to wish him all the good lucks for his bright future."

damn rip hoon, always thought his zarya was beastly

dang,i expect both saya and libero to be in owl teams

Libero for LW Blue?

How did Saya not get OWL offers???

How did Saya not get OWL offers???

maybe he did but just decided to stay in Korea and Meta

How did Saya not get OWL offers???

he has gotten foreign offers but he chose to stay with MA. Maybe some of them could have been for OWL. foolish choice on his part maybe but he wants to stay loyal to his team

Libero Pogchamp!!!!

Libero has finally been set free. Any OWL team will be lucky to have him.

Finally! Libero really deserved to be in a better team. It's unfortunate that Saya did not get to join OWL team though. Saya has not been as consistent as Libero recently, and that's probably why he did not get good offers. Out of Korean DPS players not currently in OWL teams, Arhan, Haksal, Stitch, and GodsB has shown better performance than Saya recently. Haksal is still not of age yet, but I hope the other players get picked up. Recry and Saya are also good options, and I would like to see them picked up as well, but I guess that is less likely.

I really hope Libero joins Team Seoul along with Fleta, but rumors suggest that he will be heading to Team New York to fill in for Flow3r's spot as he won't be able to play until March due to his age.

So these are rumored Korean players to be picked up by OWL teams:

Team Seoul

• Fleta
  Wekeed

Team New York

• Libero

Team Boston

• Gamsu

Team London

• Nus
  Fury

I would be disappointed if Wekeed is the one Team Seoul picks up. He is good, but I wouldn't consider him as one of the top DPS players in Korea. If it is true, it seems like Seoul only picked up players from the teams with unclear future. Maybe they spent so much for buying Lunatic Hai already?

i think so.... aftr the 20 ML investement probably they wanna stay safe....also they are actually ( not sure about this but at least last month) the best OWL team so make sense to try have few money departure

This is good to know. Also I have a question about Arhan and Recry. It always seemed to me that Recry was way more consistent at a top level, why is Arhan still regarded as the 'better' DPS in AF ?
I haven't watched their S4 games so I might be wrong here, but to me Arhan only really popped off in APEX S1. Not a big fan of either if I'm being honest but Recry has a way larger pool than his counterpart, seen him play pretty much anything and deliver. Also one of the few great Mccrees in Korea.

On a side note, big feelsbad for Hoon, I think he suffered the most (out of the top korean Zaryas) from the meta change. He was nutty to watch in the Meta rolling days.

Libero to OWL would be awesome! He's one option that I'd be satisfied with replacing Flow3r

Actually, Arhan has one of the largest hero pool. He can play almost any DPS heroes pretty well and has played them in tournaments. That being said, he mainly played Genji (and Tracer) because Genji (and Tracer) has been essential part of the dive comp, and he is so good at it. On the other hand, although Recry plays most of the hitscan heroes very well (and even some projectiles like Pharah), his Genji and Tracer are not at the top level. I think this is part of why Afreeca was so successful in season 3 when Soldier/Tracer comp became more prevalent.

Well I meant in a tournament setting, Arhan only plays Genji and Tracer as you said. But Recry plays all hitscans, Pharah and Mei at least.
I get that every team needs a DPS that can flex around and a specialist, but Arhan has been really underwhelming since S1. He has been doing better in S3 (and probably S4) but still, feels kinda weird cause to me Recry has been consistent since the OG Afreeca days.
