The Houston Outlaws signed DPS Lee \u201cHappy\u201d Jung-woo, formerly of the Guangzhou Charge, today. This is the second addition the Outlaws have announced this week after being relatively quiet during the Overwatch<\/em> League offseason.\u00a0<\/p>
https:\/\/twitter.com\/Outlaws\/status\/1331659092767682560 <\/div><\/figure>
Known for his hitscan prowess, Happy was a clutch player for the Guangzhou Charge in his two years on the team. His Widowmaker, in particular, has been the downfall of many backlines in the Asia-Pacific region. Before joining the Overwatch<\/em> League in 2018, Happy played for Overwatch<\/em> Contenders Korea teams like Element Mystic, BlossoM, and Meta Bellum. <\/p>
Happy joins a growing Houston Outlaws roster, anchored by longtime flex DPS<\/a> Dante \u201cDanteh\u201d Cruz. Flex support William \u201cCrimzo\u201d Hernandez<\/a> is the only other confirmed signing for the 2021 Outlaws roster, but DPS-turned-main-tank Jo\u00e3o Pedro “Hydration” Goes Telles appears likely to return next year. Most of Houston\u2019s 2020 squad exited the team after the season ended and entered free agency<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>
Earlier in the offseason, the Outlaws added former San Francisco Shock assistant coach Jae \u201cJunkbuck\u201d Choi as co-head coach and promoted former player Matt \u201cCoolmatt\u201d Iorio to general manager<\/a>. Despite Coolmatt hinting<\/a> that Houston would be skewing toward a roster of Western players, Happy\u2019s addition shows that the team may be open to a mixed roster.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
