The Dynasty entered free agency with six free agents, five of which became free agents due to the team not exercising the option to retain the player for another year.[6]
Acquisitions
The Dynasty's first and only offseason acquisitions were Park "Saebyeolbe" Jong-ryeol, a veteran damage player and former team captain of the New York Excelsior, and Jung "Anamo" Tae-sung, a veteran support player described as "steadfast and cautious" also coming from the Excelior, both of whom were signed on November 29, 2020.[7]
Departures
Six of the Dynasty's seven free agents did not return, five of which signed with other teams, beginning with tank player Choi "Michelle" Min-hyuk, who signed with the Toronto Defiant on November 24, 2020.[2] The Dynasty lost support player Kim "Slime" Seong-jun to the Florida Mayhem on December 11.[3] On January 20, 2021, damage player Park "Illicit" Je-min signed with Overwatch Contenders team Team BM.[1] Three months later, on April 8, Support player Yang "Tobi" Jin-mo signed with the Philadelphia Fusion.[4] Additionally, support player Choi "Bdosin" Seung-tae announced his retirement in the offseason.[8]
Regular season
