Portuguese player Rafael “arrozdoce” Vig has officially become a free agent after his contract with SAW came to an end. The SAW team decided to let the player go two months after he was transferred to the bench in October.

arrozdoce was one of the key elements in SAW's performance at IEM Cologne 2024, where the team sensationally reached the top 4. However, his unexpected absence before the RMR was the result of the player's desire to explore other opportunities. After his departure, the team failed to qualify for the Shanghai Major 2024, which forced SAW management to make additional personnel changes.

The Portuguese team SAW also placed Michel “ewjerkz” Pinta, another key player, on a transfer.
