As well as confirming their roster was already on its way to finding its core, the pair also explained how the CDL\u2019s signing window, which opens on Tuesday, September 3, and restricted free agency signings would be working moving forward. Ashley Glassel and Brett Diamond provided an update on Minnesota\u2019s roster plans. \u201cStarting on the third we can sign players, and if they\u2019re a restricted free agent we can sign them that day,\u201d explained Diamond. \u201cMost players, as you know if you have been following player announcements, are restricted free agents.

First of all their current team have the right to match whatever we offer them, and have a week to decide. If they decide not to match, then we\u2019re in buy-out discussions with that team. There\u2019s a couple of steps to the process.\u201d (R)ostermania explained!

We\u2019re excited to share with them what this organization is about, and what it looks like to build up this Call of Duty team in Minnesota. We\u2019re excited.\u201d Minnesota is one of nine confirmed teams confirmed for the new franchise league. Diamond\u2019s excitement was shared by MiDNiTE in the update video, and the former OpTic content creator confirmed the Wise Ventures Esports-backed franchise had already spoken to a number of CoD stars ahead of the transfer window opening.
