The Overwatch League’s<\/a> Dallas Fuel is set to sign a new high-profile DPS player to bolster its troubled ranks.<\/p>\n

French player Dylan ‘aKm’ Bignet has “finalized negotiations” with the team and was signed last week after the roster addition period opened on Monday, as confirmed by Dallas Fuel CEO Mike Rufail on Twitter.<\/p>\n

His signing coincides with Dallas Fuel’s current unimpressive 1-5 record, after suffering high-profile losses to Seoul Dynasty, London Spitfire, Los Angeles Valiant, Houston Outlaws and Boston Uprising in the first three weeks of the Overwatch League.<\/p>\n

However, the Fuel finally secured its first win last Friday against San Francisco Shock and hope to turn around their fortunes with aKm’s arrival.<\/p>\n

The earliest aKm can begin playing is at the beginning of Stage 2 on February 21, when the Fuel will take on the lowest ranking team in the Overwatch League, the Shanghai Dragons.<\/p>\n

According to Rufail, AKm previously impressed him during preseason tryouts, but team management “wanted to leave a few roster spots open” so Fuel could properly fill skill gaps following evaluation of the team’s performance in Stage 1.<\/p>\n

\n

We really liked Dylan in the preseason, but wanted to leave a few roster spots open to fill gaps after we evaluated our team more in Stage 1. Going silent on more here for now.<\/p>\n
