The first contact she received from the Atlanta Reign came as an email at 2:30 in the morning, she told viewers on stream.
“It says: ‘Hi I am the owner of the Atlanta Overwatch League team, and I want you to be part of the stream team,’ and then at the bottom, it says ‘Sent from iPhone,’” Fran explained to chat. “I’m over here like, who is this schmuck, with this fake-ass email? This guy’s trying to troll me.”

“They’re really into having women working in esports,” Fran told her viewers about the Reign’s management. “They were about that life and I loved it, it made me so happy.”
