Professional League Of Legends esports team 100 Thieves and Golden Guardians have reportedly reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of two of Guardians’ players.
According to League Of Legends reporter Travis Gafford, attack damage carry (ADC) Victor “FBI” Huang and jungler Can “Closer” Çelik are set to be transferred from the Golden Guardians to 100 Thieves.
Both players are currently on contract with Golden Guardians until 2021, meaning 100 Thieves will have to buyout the players from the Guardians. The deal has yet to be made official, though, as the League Of Legends free agency market only opens later today (November 16).
