Shanghai Dragons head coach Chen \"U4\" Congshan stepped down from his position on March 6\u2014the team hasn't won a single game yet in the Overwatch League. But London doesn't have that problem; they won the Overwatch League's first stage. \"[Lee] was instrumental in the formation of the Spitfire lineup, finding two of the world's best Overwatch rosters, GC Busan and KongDoo Panthera, and fusing them into a single unit which was crowned Overwatch League stage one champions,\" the organization wrote in a statement. Related: Controversial Shanghai Dragons coach steps down Lee wrote on Twitter that it's \"unfortunate\" to leave the team in the middle of the inaugural Overwatch League season. He's currently looking for a new team. The circumstances surrounding Lee's departure remain unclear. Dot Esports has reached out to Lee and the London Spitfire for more information. Two coaches Park \"changgoon\" Chang-geun and Kim \"Jfeel\" Jeong-min remain the core of London Spitfire's coaching staff. Lee has been part of the Cloud9 organization, which owns London Spitfire, since March 2017.
