The Houston Outlaws have reportedly closed their doors and fired all staff and players.

The Houston Outlaws have reportedly laid off their entire staff and a former employee has spoken out on the matter.

It’s no secret that the Overwatch circuit is struggling. Franchised teams, including the Outlaws, have struggled to stay afloat and have accused Blizzard of failing to deliver on its financial promises associated with their membership in the circuit. In 2018, the Houston Outlaws’ parent company notoriously laid off nearly 20 staff members, including Outlaws coaches and other employees.

Eventually, the Overwatch League shut down completely due to lack of players and financial difficulties. This left many urban-themed Overwatch 2 teams struggling to stay afloat. Some joined other Overwatch tournaments, but it hasn’t been the same for a few years. Now, the Houston Outlaws have let all of their remaining members go.

Content creator Lordenzo shared a tweet on X that seemed to confirm that everyone on the Houston Outlaws had been let go. This included staff, creators, and players. Lordenzo went on to say that the owners were selling the franchise and it was “GG” from here on out.

In the same tweet, Lordenzo accused the Houston Outlaws of mistreating him during his time with the organization. Lordenzo was signed in 2020 as a small-time content creator through a program the Outlaws had at the time. It seemed promising at the time, but Lordenzo has since come forward with allegations against the organization.

“The Outlaws team used me as a scapegoat for every bad moment. I mean everything,” he said. “From the negative press to my permanent departure from Overwatch, I know longtime Outlaws fans thought I was ruining everything, but that wasn’t the case at all.”

Lordenzo then claimed that he had proposed the idea of ​​creating an Overwatch Champions Series team three times, but that it had always been turned down. He also tried to continue producing content for Overwatch 2, but that was also impossible. He accused the company of having “corporate egos” and said that projects were often sabotaged and staff were “thrown under a bus.”

He added: “The COO and operations have had half the budget to do nothing at all.”

The Houston Outlaws have not commented on the organization’s closure or negative accusations about how the company was run. On X, the organization shared updates on the Esports World Cup and content creators, and even signed a new team for a racing game. It’s unclear whether they will announce a closure or stop producing content.
