2018 Shanghai Dragons season

The 2018 Shanghai Dragons season was the first season of the Shanghai Dragons's existence in the Overwatch League. Shanghai did not record a single win in the entire 2018 Overwatch League season, giving the team a record of 0–40; this marked the worst single-season record in professional sports history.

Preceding offseason
On October 31, Dragons revealed their Overwatch League roster, consisting of the following eight members:
 * Lu "Diya" Weida

 * Jing "Roshan" Wenhao
 * Liu "Xushu" Junjie

Three weeks later, on November 20, Shanghai Dragons announced their coaching staff, including head coach Chen "U4" Congshan.

Review
Shanghai Dragons' first regular season OWL match was a 1–3 loss to the San Francisco Shock. Unfortunately, this result would become a trend for the Dragons for quite some time. The team did not record a win in Stage 1, going. On February 13, 2018, disappointed by their Stage 1 record, the Dragons signed 4 new players in hopes to improve their Stage 2 chances; most notably including the league's first female player, South Korean Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon.

Amidst a disaster of a season, Shanghai went through three different head coaches. The Dragons finished the season with a 0–40 record and a -120 map differential, having not won a single match. This marked the worst single-season record in professional sports history.
