Alongside these coaching additions, the team has elected to part ways with Peak, who became interim head coach after the releases of at-the-time head coach KyKy and DPS player Rascal back in April. He would remain there until the signing of current head coach Aero just a month afterwards. As for Vol'Jin and Violet, the two will remain as a part of the team's coaching staff.
We'd also like to thank @GosuPeak for his time with us, especially for stepping in at a pivotal moment for the team, and we wish him the best in the future!

Tikatee was previously a part of FNRGFE as an analyst in the team as current head coach Aero was heading the corndogs from the same role. Their work would eventually net the squad an appearance at the 2017 Contenders Season One LAN playoffs.
While Jayne has not been involved directly with the league prior to this announcement, he was selected as the head coach for this year's Team Canada World Cup team and has made a name for himself through educational streams and other coverage of professional Overwatch.
While the Fuel's season has ended, the inaugural season has not yet concluded. The Grand Finals sets between the
