The trade was technically a buyout, meaning the Outlaws are only giving money to the Reign and won't release any players.\u00a0 Pelican, who previously played for O2 Blast in Overwatch Contenders Korea, was one of the most-hyped rookies signed for the 2021 Overwatch League season. He was a critical part of the Atlanta Reign\u2019s successful year, which culminated in a Grand Finals appearance against the Shanghai Dragons.\u00a0\u00a0 Despite health issues like a collapsed lung, Pelican fought his way through difficulty to play for the Reign when the team needed him the most. This dedication, as well as his immense talent on DPS heroes throughout the season, nabbed him the 2021 Rookie of the Year award.\u00a0 The Houston Outlaws have already confirmed that two players from 2021 will be coming back next year: DPS Dante \u201cDanteh\u201d Cruz and off-tank Shin \u201cPiggy\u201d Min-jun. Choi \u201cJunkbuck\u201d Jaewon will also be returning as head coach. The rest of last year\u2019s roster has been released.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/18162410\/OWL-Press-Asset-BZ6F8D.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473525"}],"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\/1722"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473525"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":473536,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473525\/revisions\/473536"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473525"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=473525"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=473525"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=473525"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=473525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
