"This might come as a surprise to many people, but given the state of finances in Tier 2, the near 6 month gap between the seasons and the low viewership, its shouldn’t be too shocking," said assistant coach _Tanizqh in a Twitlonger. He declared his own free agency at the end of the post.

Team Gigantti first entered Overwatch just before Contenders Season One Europe in 2017. The team signed all-Finnish roster Rest in Pyjamas and went on to win the Contenders title that season. In the five Contenders seasons to follow, Gigantti never finished outside of the top four and won one additional Contenders title.
