The Dragons are playing for the future, and that’s a big deal for both them as a franchise and for the Overwatch League as a whole. It isn’t always about the here and now in sports. What makes leagues and teams sustainable is long-term thinking. OWL’s whole business model is based around traditional sports and this roster shuffling and coaching change has traditional sports written all over it.

It isn’t clear when Geguri, Sky, Fearless and Ado will be able to join the team, but when they do, it’ll surely make a difference (they can’t make things any worse at least).

Sun Jun Young is slated to take over full head coach responsibilities after a week of transition from Chen Congshan. The Dragons haven’t said whether or not they’ll be looking at Young to take over the role on a permanent basis or if his position will be purely interim. However, given the big moves already made by the team, don’t be surprised if the Dragons look outside of the organization for a permanent replacement.

The Shanghai Dragon’s next match is tomorrow when they face off against the second place Seoul Dynasty.
