The Houston Outlaws’ general manager Matt “flame” Rodriguez and assistant manager Adam “MESR” De La Torre both announced their departure from the organization on Thursday afternoon.
Flame and MESR have both held their positions in the organization since the team’s creaton in 2017. Flame in particular is widely credited with helping build much of the inaugural roster from former Team Fortress 2 players.
While flame’s departure appears to be an organizational decision, as he described himself as “in shock” in a later tweet, MESR’s announcement stated that he had voluntarily left.
