Envy Gaming buys the Dallas slot in the Overwatch League in September 2017 for a reported 20 million dollars, funded by Ken Hersh's investment, and the Fuel sells out 4,500 seats a day at its 2019 Allen Event Center homestand before making Esports Stadium Arlington its home. The team wins the 2022 Grand Finals over San Francisco Shock. Ownership passes to OpTic Gaming in June 2022, the roster is released before the Overwatch League folds on September 30, 2023, and D Magazine records Hersh's reported 35 million dollars as the money that the league's collapse consumed. Mike Rufail reestablishes the Fuel on November 29, 2025 after reacquiring the brand, entering the Overwatch Champions Series for 2026 from the Fairview lab. The rung that broke was the league, not the local audience.
