CS:GO is on break and we don't have any transfers worth mentioning at the moment. In Dota 2 SumaiL leaves and Winstrike makes changes. Valorant is still growing and there is news in CoD and Overwatch.
Dota 2: SumaiL Leaves OG and Winstrike Change Their Roster

Looks like @Ceb got the call of his lifetime...... A second time. #foreverCeb#DreamOG pic.twitter.com/3j73IG9kA1

OG has not been able to build on their earlier successes for some time now after JerAx, Ceb and ana left the team. With SumaiL, MidOne, and Saksa they did not come out over the second place. Now SumaiL left OG and Ceb was brought back as an offlaner. Nothing is yet known about SumaiL's future plans, but Ceb is looking forward to playing with his old team again.

Sergey "AanahRoniX" Bykovsky, manager of the Dota 2 team, said that the change from Young G to Na'Vi was used to completely rebuild the Dota 2 roster. The new roster features new faces as well as players who have played with Winstrike before. One is open for offers for the now inactive players. The first challenge for the young team will be the Omega League Qualifiers. We wish the team much success.
Fnatic: Raven is Back
Marc "Raven" Fausto returns to Fnatic to replace Nuengnara "23savage" Teeramahanon.
DOTA ROSTER UPDATEThe Raven Returns.The Fnatic carry, @ravendoto. PHSoutheast Asia reveres him or fears him, and now he's back in Black and Orange.FULL ANNOUNCEMENT https://t.co/MsE0I35tHm pic.twitter.com/Ct5mFdCEHh
— FNATIC (@FNATIC) July 28, 2020
The 21-year-old carry played for Fnatic as early as 2016 and has since made a name for himself as one of the best players in the SEA region. In his last organization GeekFam he caused a lot of stress for Fnatic. With him, they want to continue to dominate the region, which in our opinion should not be a problem for them.
League of Legends: Meteos Leaves 100 Thieves
100 Thieves: Meteos is Out

— Meteos (@MeteosLoL) July 21, 2020
After 100 Thieves started the LCS Summer Split with only one win and five defeats, Meteos was put on the bench already in week 3. As a result, he let his emotions get the better of him and wrote some malicious tweets, which were already deleted. In his Twitlonger he apologizes for this and explains his decision to leave 100 Thieves completely. He was offered the opportunity to continue playing for the academy team, but he would have had to share the position of the youngster with Shane "Kenvi" Espinoza.
Meteos now wants to take a break and will probably stream or cast once more but he also does not rule out a return in another team.

Patrick "ACHES" Price leaves the Los Angeles Guerrillas and is therefore not in the playoffs.
Thank you @ACHES pic.twitter.com/PqpXiwbIvg
— Los Angeles Guerrillas (@LAGuerrillas) July 22, 2020
ACHES was already put on the bench in March after the LAGs had a miserable start to the season. The two-time world champion has not played since the first London Home Series in February and will not be represented in the playoffs and the Championship Weekend. This is the first year in his career in which he will not participate in the Championship event.
We're definitely curious to see which team we'll see him in next.

After Click Crew disbanded at the beginning of the year Harley "MrFreshAsian" Campbell went to Luminosity and now Muselk follows his example.

We wish him continued success with his new organization.
