From general managers to assistant coaches, the hierarchy of an esports organization is set in place in order to run a ship smoothly. However, in between the cracks of these standard roles, are niche leadership roles that cater to what aspects of competition the organization itself deems important compared to other things.

Some teams value interpersonal relationships and hire a coach specifically for that. Others see the importance of statistics and deep-woven algorithms that may be key to solving a stagnating roster. In the case of the Hangzhou Spark, a “Data Analyst” is a coaching role that fits their needs.

For multiple seasons, not many people knew the responsibilities of these more unique roles in the Overwatch League. Fans can usually decipher what a Head Coach does or even a Translator, but roles like the Florida Mayhem’s “Performance Coach”, the Shanghai Dragon’s “Senior Operations Specialist”, or the Spark’s Data Analyst is not immediately understood.
