This season, the All-Star games were scheduled during the month-long break between stages two and three\u2014last year, the event was held after the regular season concluded. Many players, including Danteh, said that this was difficult because the games cut into their break.

\u201cI think stage breaks are really helpful,” Danteh said. “This season more than last season, because there\u2019s a lot more time.\u201d This year, the Overwatch<\/em> League instituted multi-week breaks between stages compared to last year’s much-shorter breaks.

Danteh focused on the social aspect of having time away from the often extensive practice hours the Overwatch <\/em>League requires when he resets and relaxes during a stage break. <\/p>
\u201cSay my parents are visiting; I try to hang out with them as much as possible,” Danteh said. “Or if I want to grind streams, because there\u2019s not much time to stream during the season. I just hang out with friends that I can\u2019t normally hang out with\u2014my [San Francisco] Shock friends, my [Los Angeles] Valiant friends. Whoever I want to hang out with, I try to do that, because there\u2019s not much time during the actual [stage] where we play matches.\u201d
