Ir1s is the second former Atlanta Reign player, after Oh \u201cPelican\u201d Se-hyun, to join the Outlaws.\u00a0 Ir1s was a critical part of the Atlanta Reign\u2019s success during the 2021 season, playing multiple heroes and getting enormous value out of Baptiste, his signature hero in the league. Last season was historically the most successful for the Reign, who made it to the Overwatch League Grand Finals last year after an impressive postseason run.\u00a0 The Atlanta Reign parted ways with Ir1s on Oct. 12 and he entered free agency along with many of his 2021 teammates. So far, most of them have been picked up by other Overwatch League teams.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By signing both Pelican and Ir1s, Houston is likely banking on their built-in cohesion to carry over from the Atlanta Reign. They\u2019ll join DPS Dante \u201cDanteh\u201d Cruz and off-tank Shin \u201cPiggy\u201d Min-jun, the only two Houston Outlaws players officially confirmed to be returning to the roster in 2022.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/12122159\/outlawsmural.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476215"}],"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=476215"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":476226,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476215\/revisions\/476226"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476215"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=476215"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=476215"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=476215"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=476215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
