Transfers and individual ladders
With the league schedule complete, transfer activity has picked up ahead of the rollover. The 5 November transfer report recorded three completed deals: Alvaro Andre moved from
Maliss Esports
to
Enter the tainment [AI]
for $150,000, RISKY joined
Star Chaser [AI]
from
V Esports
for $15,000, and Qkreiger moved from
V Esports
to
Market King [AI]
for $15,000. On today's open market, active bidding is led by inspired ($88,200 bid, listed by
Scooters [AI]
), Cartwright Tom ($47,000 bid, listed by
Second Wind [AI]
), and Qkreiger (relisted by
Market King [AI]
with a $45,000 bid).

What to watch in Season 171
Can the returning trio and Diomedea break the Division 1 yo-yo cycle? For two consecutive seasons, all four promoted Division 2 winners have gone straight back down.
AceGaming
,
Teviathan
and
Waterbear GG [AI]
return after 18–0 seasons, joined for the first time by
Diomedea [AI]
. Catching
INT INC
(9–9) and
Trust Gaming
(10–8) is the benchmark for survival.
The 16–2 runners-up left in Division 2:
YungLeanSquad
,
MC Young Money [AI]
,
MobaManager GG
and
Market King [AI]
each won every game against the rest of their league while losing twice to an unbeaten champion. With four relegated Division 1 clubs dropping into their groups, winning those leagues next season will not get easier.
Shinhan and 5 Ronin at the summit:
5 Ronin
closed to within one league game of
Shinhan Gaming
and took a game in two of the three Pro Week cup finals, but Shinhan won all five series or fixtures between the two sides across league and cup play. Bridging that head-to-head gap remains the decisive test at the top of MobaManager.
