most teams aren't changing rosters till post major... if he is gonna be a prospectful signing he has to play games and show he still has something to offer...
He already shown at the major that he has something to offer, there are very few teams who have the comfort to confidently say that they don't need a guy with s1mple's potential. Sooner or later he would have had those offers
Nah they just bought both monesy and kyosuke and they've already played with simple and it went terribly as well i don't think it's happening for like 2 years at minimum
His contract is running out, I doubt the transfer fee was all that, he likely just didn't get any tier 1 offers and the "superteam potential" plans from BC Game probably sold it.
