Preceding offseason

Organizational changes

In late October, the Spark announced that they had parted ways with assistant coach Han "Sup7eme" Seung-jun.[1] The team signed former Florida Mayhem assistant coach Jung "yeah" Young-su as an assistant coach in mid-November.[2]

The Spark enter the new season with no free agents, four players which they have the option to retain for another year, and eight players under contract.[3] The OWL's deadline to exercise a team option was November 11, after which any players not retained became a free agent. Free agency officially began on October 7.[4] The Spark's first departure of the offseason was on November 11, when the team released flex support An "Revenge" Hyeong-Geun.[5] On November 23, it was announced that tank player Jeong "NoSmite" Da-Un had signed to the Paris Eternal.[6] The Spark promoted support players Liu "M1ka" Jiming and Tong "Coldest" Xiaodong from their academy team Bilibili Gaming on January 14.[7]

Homestand events
