The Overwatch League’s Guangzhou Charge is a Chinese team with members from South Korea, China, and the United Kingdom.

Luckily, activities like playing sports together, spending time in the pool, and sharing a good Korean meal are all useful ways of getting over such language barriers. Furthermore, when it comes to communicating within the actual game, Charge player Finley “Kyb” Adisi notes that he’s even picked up a few key Korean words here and there to help bridge the language gap.
