Houston Outlaws Player ArHaN Now Able to Play in Overwatch League
By Nicholas Barth ·
The highly touted DPS player has been signed to the Houston Outlaws for some time, but was only just approved for a work visa to allow him to compete with the rest of the Houston Outlaws.
The Houston Outlaws had signed Won-hyeop "ArHaN" Jeong to their Overwatch League roster back in late March, but the talented DPS player was not able to play for the Outlaws, as his work visa had not yet been approved. ArHaN has been with the team using a tourist visa, but was not eligible to compete in any official Overwatch League matches with the rest of the team, until now, as his work visa has finally been approved.
For those of you wondering, @ArHaN_OW wasn't eligible to play until today. He had been here on a tourist visa while we waited (forever) for his work visa. It's finally been approved and he's in the country for the first time as an employee.

Known for his impressive Genji and Tracer play, the 2-2 Outlaws will be looking to ArHaN to help provide an immediate boost to their damage output in Week 3 of Stage 4 of the Overwatch League. ArHaN is a well known Overwatch player in the Korean scene, as he was a integral part of Team South Korea winning the 2016 Overwatch World Cup and had been a highly skilled and productive DPS player for Meta Athena.
Joining forces with the likes of fellow DPS player Jiri "LiNkzr" Masalin, ArHaN will provide the strong Tracer play that the Houston Outlaws have been lacking throughout Season 1.
ArHaN having his work visa approved has also resulted in every Overwatch League team having at least one active South Korean member on their rosters and shows the massive talent pool the region has in regards to professional Overwatch.
Fans will no doubt be excited to see what ArHaN can bring to the team beginning in Week 3 of Stage 4, as the Houston Outlaws' first match with ArHaN eligible to play will be on Friday, June 1st against the Shanghai Dragons at 4:00 PM PST.
