It\u2019s an unprecedented pickup for a team that has historically opted for budget player options. Fearless had been a part of the Dallas Fuel roster since the franchise\u2019s rebuild in late 2020. He\u2019s overwhelmingly considered one of the best tanks in the Overwatch League, as well as a player with a remarkable redemption story.\u00a0 After starting his OWL career on the Shanghai Dragons, which had a 0-40 record in the inaugural season, Fearless bounced back on the Fuel. He was crowned Grand Finals MVP after his team\u2019s win in 2022. Houston, meanwhile, has many positions to fill before the sixth season kicks off. Despite the team\u2019s successful 2022 season, which included a third-place finish in the postseason tournament, Outlaws management opted to dismantle nearly all of last year\u2019s roster. Only star DPS Oh \u201cPelican\u201d Se-hyun survived the Houston purge and is confirmed to return in 2023. Former Outlaws main support Mun \"Lastro\" Jung-won was acquired by the Los Angeles Gladiators today while former hitscan ace Choi \"MER1T\" Tae-min was traded to the Florida Mayhem in a cash deal earlier this month.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/12154835\/OWL22_2022-11-04_FINALS_DAL_FEARLESS_4951-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764772"}],"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=764772"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":764827,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764772\/revisions\/764827"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764772"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=764772"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=764772"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=764772"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=764772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
