Dallas Fuel has tapped two new coaches to join its staff for Overwatch League’s second season.
Team Canada Overwatch World Cup head coach Justin “Jayne” Conroy and former FNRGFE analyst Louis “Tikatee” Lebel-Wong have joined Team Envy as assistant coaches. Both will join Dallas Fuel full-time in September. Former assistant coach Emanuel “Peak” Uzoni is no longer with the team.

They’ll work under head coach Aaron “Aero” Atkins, who signed with Dallas Fuel in mid-May. Under his leadership, Dallas Fuel finished the Overwatch League’s first season strong, earning a trip to the stage four playoffs. Dallas Fuel ultimately fell to New York Excelsior in the stage four semifinals.
“As we continue to build our confidence among the players on our roster and look to capitalize on our dynamic end-of-season success, Jayne and Tikatee will be tremendous help in rounding out the skills and focus needed on our coaching staff,” Atkins said. “We look forward to the both of them joining us in Los Angeles. Both bring a remarkable aptitude for quickly analyzing gameplay and leave no stone unturned in breaking down footage and helping us create a culture and philosophy that will help our players improve and assist the team in reaching its goals.”
Dallas Fuel’s run ended at the conclusion of the Overwatch League’s regular season with a 10th-place finish. The Overwatch League finals are ongoing, with the big event concluding on July 27 and 28 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
