The Overwatch League is almost done with its second week and fans have seen both stellar performances from some teams and questionable ones from others. Although it is only the second week, the Shanghai Dragons are ranked among the lowest in the league, and fans have ​publicly voiced both criticism ​and concern for the players.





The Shanghai Dragons' team Manager, Van, released a letter Friday to fans apologizing for the team's performance so far. The manager revealed the team's current training regimen, along with promises that the team is being taken care of mentally and nutritionally.

Van explained that the mentality of players is very important to them. "W e will further assist our players on their mentality issues whenever it is needed. We realize it is crucial for our players to play with their true potential in a stable state of mind."





The team manager also acknowledged that the strictness of their current training doesn't allow for much physical exercise or entertainment, but promised fans that they are planning activities like that for the team.





The letter comes largely in r​esponse to a Reddit thread criticizing the team and questioning the players' rumored intense practice schedule and work environment.





The Shanghai Dragons will play against the Florida Mayhem on Friday. It will be an opportunity for both teams to secure their first win of the season.
