The Hangzhou Spark also has announced its coaching staff that will be tasked with leading guxue, NoSmite, Adora, Ria and the rest of the franchise's roster throughout Season 2 of the Overwatch League. Lee "Mask" Muho (formerly of X-6 Gaming) will be taking the role of Head Coach for the Hangzhou Spark, while Han "Sup7eme" Seung-jun (formerly of Team Seven) and Gao "YinDong" Hang (formerly of LGD Gaming) have been named assistant coaches for one of the newest organizations in the professional scene for the esports title.
With one of the most unique and entertaining branding styles in all of the esports league for Blizzard Entertainment's popular first person shooter, the Hangzhou Spark will be looking for its first four players and coaching staff to make sure that the franchise will be known for winning in Season 2 and not just for its interesting logo and color scheme.
