By Nicholas Barth ·
The talented player will be making her way to join the rest of the team for the beginning of Stage 3.
According to a report by Unikrn, the Shanghai Dragons have revealed that they are expecting their highly anticipated roster additon of Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon to be arriving in the United States on March 23rd. Geguri will be the third expected member of the team's four new roster additions in the coming days, as the team announced on Twitter that Gi-hyeon "Ado" Chon and Eui-Seok "Fearless" Lee are expected to arrive in the United States between March 18th and March 20th. The Dragons also stated that He "Sky" Junjian is having a visa interview today and will have his travel plans announced after.

It is unlikely that fans will get to see the highly skilled off tank player play in Shanghai's last match of Stage 2 against the London Spitfire, as it will be taking place on her expected arrival date. However, she will be ready to help provide an influx of talent alongside her the team's other new players in Stage 3 to assist the struggling Dragons, who are currently in last place in the Overwatch League with a 0-18 record. With the Dragon's first match of Stage 3 against the lackluster Dallas Fuel, it is highly possible that Geguri and her new teammates will be able to lead Shanghai to their first win in the league.
Before these new players are able to make an impact for the team, the Shanghai Dragons will have to deal with other roster changes, as Chao "Undead" Fang will be leaving for China for personal reasons and will miss the team's next two matches. However, Shanghai is also welcoming back one of their star players in Weida "Diya" Lu, who will be returning to the team after two weeks away.
Stage 3 is looking to be where the Shanghai Dragons begin to put everything together and rise up from the bottom of the standings, but the team will need to be picture perfect from the beginning if they hope to have any chance of the making the Season One playoffs.
