Spitfire vs Fusion
Esports players can have a gruesome training schedule. To stay in goof form and be on top of their game, they need to continuously train and play. Some players from League of Legends have reportedly been training for 14 hours a day in order to stay competitive. However, players are not the only ones who can have a tight schedule. During one of the Overwatch League’s games last week between the London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion, one Stage Coordinator seemed a little off.
