Shanghai's four new players are expected to have visa interviews on March 15th and then arrive in the United States some time before March 31st. With Stage 2 ending the week of March 21st, the Dragons' new arrivals will most likely not see any playing time until the beginning of Stage 3. However, the future is now looking much brighter for the winless Shanghai Dragons with the news of their reinforcements potentially joining their ranks within the month.

This is the latest major roster announcement that the Shanghai Dragons have made since March 6th, as the organization announced that their head coach, Chen "U4" Congshan, would be stepping down from his role, and that their star DPS player Weida "Diya" Lu would be away from the team for the next two weeks.

The Shanghai Dragons currently sit in 12th place in the Overwatch League with a 0-16 record. They will be looking to collect their first win of the season in their next match against the Philadelphia Fusion on March 14th at 8:00 PM PST.
