The Houston Outlaws have picked up DPS player Jo\u00e3o Pedro \u201cHydration\u201d Goes Telles from the Los Angeles Gladiators for the 2020 Overwatch League season. Hydration has played under the Gladiators\u2019 purple and white banner since the start of the league\u2019s inaugural season. He helped the Gladiators end the the 2019 season in fifth place. The team reached the season playoffs for a second time this year but they were knocked out of contention by the San Francisco Shock. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Outlaws\/status\/1185299514040537088?s=19 The signing of the DPS player isn\u2019t the only change the Outlaws have made in preparation for the league\u2019s third season. After stage four, Houston renovated their coaching staff, dropping both head coach Kim \u201cTaiRong\u201d Tae-yeong and assistant coach Kim \u201cHyunwoo\u201d Hyun-woo. Earlier in the week, the Outlaws picked up Harsha Bandi, who served as the assistant coach of the Vancouver Titans throughout the 2019 season. Harsha will take over as the team's head coach moving forward. Additionally, both of Houston's main supports throughout the 2019 season\u2014Christopher \u201cBani\u201d Benell and Daniel \u201cBoink\u201d Pence\u2014are listed as free agents in the league\u2019s contract database and the team said goodbye to Jeong \u201cArHaN\u201d Won-hyeop yesterday. Related: Washington Justice acquire rOar from Los Angeles Gladiators The Outlaws\u2019 roster changes come after an abysmal year for the team. The roster started the season in the middle of the pack but failed to find a single win in stage two. This ultimately carved their path for ending the regular season in a measly 16th place. The Houston-based team will likely make more moves before the signing period is up. Overwatch League teams have until Nov. 15 to sign at least eight players each.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/18162106\/2019_S1W3D2_02222_Jo\u00e3o-Pedro-Hydration-Goes-Telles_Robert-Paul.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=182979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

After stage four, Houston renovated their coaching staff, dropping both head coach Kim \u201cTaiRong\u201d Tae-yeong and assistant coach Kim \u201cHyunwoo\u201d Hyun-woo. Earlier in the week, the Outlaws picked up Harsha Bandi, who served as the assistant coach of the Vancouver Titans throughout the 2019 season. Harsha will take over as the team's head coach moving forward. Additionally, both of Houston's main supports throughout the 2019 season\u2014Christopher \u201cBani\u201d Benell and Daniel \u201cBoink\u201d Pence\u2014are listed as free agents in the league\u2019s contract database and the team said goodbye to Jeong \u201cArHaN\u201d Won-hyeop yesterday. Related: Washington Justice acquire rOar from Los Angeles Gladiators The Outlaws\u2019 roster changes come after an abysmal year for the team. The roster started the season in the middle of the pack but failed to find a single win in stage two. This ultimately carved their path for ending the regular season in a measly 16th place. The Houston-based team will likely make more moves before the signing period is up. Overwatch League teams have until Nov. 15 to sign at least eight players each.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/18162106\/2019_S1W3D2_02222_Jo\u00e3o-Pedro-Hydration-Goes-Telles_Robert-Paul.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=182979"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=182979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
