Kruise confirms he's not in OWL S1

He tweeted about it:

It does look like he's sticking around for Contender S2, so I'm hoping a few teams get added for S2 and that we see more of these pro guys that didn't get a spot have their chance.

I'm also assuming a crazy amount of turnover as teams that couldn't deliver restructure their squads. We could see some crazy things happening in 2018 if OWL and Overwatch are a relative success.

I never would said that.....a player who can play at good level both genji and lucio with a great shotcalling ability is great as sub .... we will see.... hoping he will stick around....maybe with vallu...

Also we have to see if OWL team will be able to have roster change mid tournaments...that can changes a lot of things

Yeah, a short mid-season signing period could be a thing, though I'm not sure if it will since there's apparently supposed to be a sizable off-season.

I'm guessing orgs are filling their rosters based on the current meta, which is not Genji friendly. Unlucky timing also with eUnited's performance in Contenders.
Hopefully we get a mix of established players and new blood into the next Contenders season(s), should be fun to watch.
