When asked for further clarification, Outlaws general manager flame specified clockwork would not be a coach, but instead work with the organization as part of their managerial staff. He will be the first offseason addition to the team's staff.
clockwork played on a niche pool of maps throughout the Outlaws' season, often as Tracer, Widowmaker or Soldier 76. His already limited playing time vanished in Stage 4, as he played his last match of the season in the final week of Stage 3.
This comes just a day after the Outlaws announced the release of FCTFCTN from the team. The two announcements have cut the Outlaws roster from 12 player to 10.
This is not the final change the Outlaws will make this offseason, according to a tweet from flame. Whether the additional changes will come to the roster or the staff remains to be seen.
