But it took a few months for the organization to sort out its staff lineup ahead of the 2022 season.\u00a0 The team has added former Overwatch League player Aaron \u201cBischu\u201d Kim in a management position, Houston announced today. His official title is manager of player operations and content, which means he\u2019ll have a close relationship with the team's players and content creators during the 2022 season.\u00a0 This addition comes after Matt \u201ccoolmatt\u201d Iorio, the Outlaws\u2019 previous general manager and another former Overwatch League player, parted ways with the team on Jan. 11.\u00a0 For longtime fans of the league, Bischu is likely a familiar face. He played off-tank for the Los Angeles Gladiators during the inaugural season and later moved to the Guangzhou Charge before returning to the Gladiators in 2020. After Bischu was let go by the Gladiators following the 2020 season, he expressed a desire to return in a coaching or management role.\u00a0 Notably, Bischu is fluent in both English and Korean, which makes him invaluable in managing Houston\u2019s multilingual roster. The Outlaws retained Western DPS Dante \u201cDanteh\u201d Cruz but has otherwise built a South Korean roster heading into next season.\u00a0 Houston completed a monetary trade with the Atlanta Reign for 2021 rookie of the year Oh \u201cPelican\u201d Se-hyun in October and quickly followed that up by acquiring his former teammate, flex support Kim \u201cIr1s\u201d Seung-hyun. Former Toronto Defiant flex support Mun \u201cLastro\u201d Jung-won rounded out the team alongside the Outlaws\u2019 other 2021 holdover, off-tank Shin \u201cPIGGY\u201d Min-jun.\u00a0Part-time player, part-time coach Jake Lyon has yet to announce his plans for 2022.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/17123042\/Aaron_-Bischu-_Kim_3_21_18.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515058"}],"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=515058"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":515067,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515058\/revisions\/515067"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515058"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=515058"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=515058"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=515058"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=515058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
