This Weeks Headlines
Normally when a company goes public – which means you can buy stock in it – it is the start of great things and great success, but it hasn’t looked that way for Rovio. Just five months after going public, their stock price fell by half, and it looks like that is just the start of their woes. Only days ago, the head of Rovio’s games, Wilhelm Taht, stepped down from his position, leaving the company for good. On the same day, Rovio also announced the closure of their London studio after just a year of operation.

Esports Spotlight
The Shanghai Dragons and their coach, Chen Congshan, are officially parting ways. The team made the announcement on their Twitter page and added that assistant coach Sun Jun Young would be taking his place on an at least temporary basis.
The news comes on the heels of yet another disappointing weekend for the squad. They are officially the only team in the Overwatch League who have yet to win a match. They’re easily the worst team in OWL and they’ve put up one of the worst seasons we’ve ever seen in professional esports.
