Whereas the Overwatch League offseason has been full of untamed roster bulletins, nothing spices up the winter like previous Texas staff swap.
Former Dallas Gasoline tank and 2022 Overwatch League champion Lee “Fearless” Eui-seok is becoming a member of the Houston Outlaws’ roster in 2023, the franchise introduced at this time. It’s an unprecedented pickup for a staff that has traditionally opted for finances participant choices.
Fearless had been part of the Dallas Gasoline roster for the reason that franchise’s rebuild in late 2020. He’s overwhelmingly thought-about among the finest tanks within the Overwatch League, in addition to a participant with a outstanding redemption story.
After beginning his OWL profession on the Shanghai Dragons, which had a 0-40 file within the inaugural season, Fearless bounced again on the Gasoline. He was topped Grand Finals MVP after his staff’s win in 2022.
Houston, in the meantime, has many positions to fill earlier than the sixth season kicks off. Regardless of the staff’s profitable 2022 season, which included a third-place end within the postseason event, Outlaws administration opted to dismantle almost all of final 12 months’s roster.
Solely star DPS Oh “Pelican” Se-hyun survived the Houston purge and is confirmed to return in 2023.
Former Outlaws primary help Mun “Lastro” Jung-won was acquired by the Los Angeles Gladiators at this time whereas former hitscan ace Choi “MER1T” Tae-min was traded to the Florida Mayhem in a money deal earlier this month.
