Dallas Fuel have faced several roster troubles in the past few weeks. The North Ameican team released DPS player Jang “Decay” Gui-un from his contract. The Fuel ownership claimed the player refused to work with the staff. The DPS player was one of the best on the Dallas Fuel team and was notorious for his deep hero pool and flexibility.
Dallas Fuel will face off against the Washington Justice on August 7 in the Countdown Cup. Overwatch fans can catch the action live on Twitch.
