Dallas Fuel and Los Angeles Valiant have finalized a trade between two Overwatch League support players.
Scott “Custa” Kennedy will join Los Angeles Valiant, while Benjamin “uNKOE” Chevasson will join Dallas Fuel. Both players will compete with their new teams when the Overwatch League’s third stage begins on April 4.
“UNKOE is a mechanically gifted support player that will bring key strengths and motivation to our team,” Dallas Fuel head coach Kyle Souder said in a statement. “His history of success and skill set have long been respected by this entire team and will help us push forward this season and in the future.”
He’s leaving former Rogue teammate Terence “SoOn” Tarlier at the Los Angeles Valiant, but joining fellow Rogue alum Dylan “aKm” Bignet on Dallas Fuel.
Meanwhile, Custa, a former Fnatic and Arc6 support, joins Stefano “Verbo” Disalvo and Park “KariV” Young-seo as support for LA Valiant.
Dallas Fuel takes on Shanghai Dragons at 7pm ET on April 4, while LA Valiant plays Seoul Dynasty immediately after at 9pm ET. Both teams struggled in Overwatch League’s second stage, but Dallas Fuel have had a rougher go. The Texas team is currently ranked second to last, only above Shanghai Dragons. LA Valiant fairs slightly better, though they remain in the lower half of the Overwatch League rankings.
