Lee signed with the Shanghai Dragons of the Overwatch League's (OWL) inaugural season but did not win a single match in his time there.

[2][3] In February 2018, Lee, along with Kim "Geguri" Se-yeon, signed with the Shanghai Dragons of the Overwatch League after they began their season with an 0–8 record.

[4] However, due to travel visa issues, Lee was not able to join the team, who were competing in the United States, until the beginning of the second half of the season.

Lee returned home to South Korea due to health issues, and did not join the team for the start of the 2019 season.

[14] Lee defeated his former team, the Dragons, in the May Melee finals, to claim his third career midseason tournament title.

[17] Lee saw reduced playing time throughout the regular season, as his team went on to win the Summer Showdown with Hanbin as the starter.

During a live-stream on Twitch, he recounted how people on the street would, among other things, approach him and "pretend to fucking cough".

Several individuals and organizations released statements in response to post, including Activision Blizzard, Envy Gaming owner Mike Rufail, and Andbox.
