The contracts of 3DMAX team players expire on November 15, two days before the start of the RMR in Shanghai. According to the French insider KRL, all players of the team, except for Graviti, will become free agents, which opens up the possibility for other organizations to get this roster. Particularly attractive is the fact that 3DMAX is highly ranked and has a slot at the RMR.
Chances for new organizations
The Graviti player will remain under contract until February, and his buyout amount is approximately $30,000. For organizations that want to enter the professional CS2 scene, this creates an almost free opportunity to get a roster of experienced players who already have significant achievements and are ready to play in important tournaments.
3DMAX problems
According to KRL, this is not the first time the team has faced problems with late payments to both players and staff. This undermines the stability of the team and its future, especially before the important RMR tournament.

Community reaction
The esports community is actively discussing the future of 3DMAX players. Many commentators believe that the players can enter RMR and Major as free agents. Others suggest that the Karmine Corp organization may take advantage of the situation and sign this promising roster, especially considering their plans for the CS scene.
The comments on X are actively discussing the possibilities for the players, making various assumptions as to which team might sign them. One user wrote: “Maybe Gentle Mates will take them on?”
What's next?
November 15 will be a crucial date for 3DMAX. If the organization does not resolve its financial issues, the team may be forced to perform at the RMR in Shanghai as free agents. This puts their future careers in jeopardy, but it also opens up new prospects for many organizations looking to sign a roster with experience at the highest level.
