At the end of Rapid Magyar's season, Damian DeSoto sat with disappointment in his locker room. He was proud of the effort the young team put into the season, but any player wouldn't be happy with the losses they racked up. Still, Damian knew that this was part of the process. However, his poor mood abruptly changed when he heard that the manager of the Shanghai Dragons wanted to see him. His heart immediately started beating quickly, as he wasn't sure if he was about to receive great or terrible news about his role. However, he received the news that he was hoping for: he had been promoted to the main squad.
Damian was overjoyed. He hadn't had his best season, so he had been experiencing some concern as to whether he'd have to stay down another year. However, the Dragons manager expressed that he recognized Damian's drive and desire to improve, even if Damian isn't necessarily a polished product quite yet. Damian thanked him extensively for the opportunity and restated his devotion and loyalty to the organization. After the Dragons manager parted, DeSoto called his family to share the good news, and he then immediately started packing for his move to China. DeSoto was excited and a bit nervous, for this would be a new challenge and his biggest test yet.
