On January 31, 2017, esports organization Selfless Gaming announced the addition of Francesca to their Overwatch roster. The team qualified for Season Zero of Overwatch Contenders 2017 on June 3; however, two days later, Francesca was suspended from casual and competitive play by Blizzard and Selfless Gaming after throwing Overwatch games on stream while streaming a pornographic dating sim game, Nekopara, atop his matches. “While Dafran will no longer be playing with our team,” Selfless said in a statement, “we will be assisting him in finding the help, counseling, and guidance that he needs to improve his mental and emotional well-being.” While Francesca was still on the team’s roster, Selfless disbanded on July 7, 2017.

Francesca was approved to join Atlanta’s professional Overwatch League team (later revealed as Atlanta Reign) in September 2018; although he refuted the claim. A month later, Reign announced their inaugural season starting roster, which included dafran. On November 7, Francesca announced via Twitter that he would be leaving the Overwatch League, stating, “The end. I hate the game. Thought I could love it again and have passion, but it’s impossible. I always end up soft throwing. Contract ended. Overwatch uninstalled. McDonald’s here I come. For real though, thanks for everything you have given me OW community.” However, he apologized and rejoined the team a day later, stating that he made a “dumb” mistake. The retraction marked the fourth time in nearly four months that he had changed his intentions about participating in the Overwatch League.
