After a third-place finish in the 2022 season, the team is clearly putting all that prize money toward an even more competitive roster for next year.\u00a0 Former Los Angeles Gladiators flex support Kim \u201cShu\u201d Jin-seo is joining Houston's roster for 2023, the Outlaws announced today.\u00a0 Shu is a two-time Role Star Award winner for his support play and has long been a critical component of the Los Angeles Gladiators. A near-constant sight in the starting lineup, Shu is known for his clutch plays on heroes like Baptiste and Ana. During his tenure with the Gladiators, the team won three tournament championships across two seasons.\u00a0 He started his career on the Guangzhou Charge, becoming a bright spot on an otherwise mid-level team. That\u2019s also where casters and analysts popularized the phrase \u201cShu Shu train\u201d for his fan base; plenty of Outlaws fans will be hopping on the locomotive next year.\u00a0 This signing comes shortly after Houston announced that former Dallas Fuel tank Lee \u201cFearless\u201d Eui-seok is also joining the Outlaws in 2023, fresh off his championship win with the Fuel.\u00a0\u00a0 Much of the 2022 Houston roster was dismantled despite the team\u2019s high placement in the final season standings. As of Dec. 23, the Outlaws\u2019 roster consists of Fearless, Shu, and star DPS Oh \u201cPelican\u201d Se-hyun. With half a dozen awards and titles between them, that\u2019s a scary start to a roster.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23153459\/OWL22_2022-10-31_PLAYOFFS_GLA_SHU_1310-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884"}],"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=764884"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":764890,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884\/revisions\/764890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/764886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=764884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

After a third-place finish in the 2022 season, the team is clearly putting all that prize money toward an even more competitive roster for next year.\u00a0 Former Los Angeles Gladiators flex support Kim \u201cShu\u201d Jin-seo is joining Houston's roster for 2023, the Outlaws announced today.\u00a0 Shu is a two-time Role Star Award winner for his support play and has long been a critical component of the Los Angeles Gladiators. A near-constant sight in the starting lineup, Shu is known for his clutch plays on heroes like Baptiste and Ana. During his tenure with the Gladiators, the team won three tournament championships across two seasons.\u00a0 He started his career on the Guangzhou Charge, becoming a bright spot on an otherwise mid-level team. That\u2019s also where casters and analysts popularized the phrase \u201cShu Shu train\u201d for his fan base; plenty of Outlaws fans will be hopping on the locomotive next year.\u00a0 This signing comes shortly after Houston announced that former Dallas Fuel tank Lee \u201cFearless\u201d Eui-seok is also joining the Outlaws in 2023, fresh off his championship win with the Fuel.\u00a0\u00a0 Much of the 2022 Houston roster was dismantled despite the team\u2019s high placement in the final season standings. As of Dec. 23, the Outlaws\u2019 roster consists of Fearless, Shu, and star DPS Oh \u201cPelican\u201d Se-hyun. With half a dozen awards and titles between them, that\u2019s a scary start to a roster.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23153459\/OWL22_2022-10-31_PLAYOFFS_GLA_SHU_1310-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884"}],"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=764884"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":764890,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764884\/revisions\/764890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/764886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=764884"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=764884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
