The Spark have had an intriguing coaching lineup in 2021, to say the least.

As of the writing of this article, the Hangzhou Spark will be entering the 2021 postseason play-ins without a proper Head Coach. Following a few shakeups at the upper management level throughout this season, the Spark potentially will now need to rally as a team with a single person at the helm.

With the team narrowly making the playoff cut-off mark, they will need to be on their A-game as a unit if they look to shock the OWL scripts without a said head coach.

Hangzhou made a transition late into the 2020 season by

mutually parting ways with the team’s original Head Coach , Muho “Mask” Lee. The team was underperforming, and change was needed to help fix what was lost from an initially promising season 2 expansion team.

This move was then followed by the promotion of former Vancouver Titans Head Coach and Spark Assistant Coach at the time, Ji-sub “paJion” Hwang on July 31, 2020. This organizational change was done immediately with no “interim” status present.

paJion was given the reins to the team without hesitation.
