Shanghai’s had a rough go at the Overwatch<\/em> League so far. Despite showing improvement across the board, the Dragons remain winless in the Overwatch<\/em> League with a 0-16 record. Fans placed much of the blame on controversial coach Chen Congshan<\/a>, who recently stepped down from the head coaching position. A day later, Shanghai Dragons notified fans that star DPS player Lu “Diya” Weida had returned to China for a “family emergency.” He’ll remain in China for two weeks.<\/p>
