We're excited to have him join the team following his success in Overwatch Contenders.

The Fuel released their former head coach KyKy during Stage 3 of the Overwatch League, with assistant coach Peak stepping in as interim head coach while the franchise looked for a replacement. The team currently sits at 10th place on the overall league standings and could potentially fall to 11th if they fail to turn things around in Stage 4.
Fans of the Fuel will be hoping that Aero can help to do just that, especially considering his wealth of experience coaching teams such as FNRGFE and Fusion University. For now, the team will be focusing on their first match of Stage 4 against the Dragons, during which they will be without the services of DPS player Effect.
