Rogue died for this.

Rogue, Gigantti (some of their players could have fit right into this roster) and let's not forget, Reinforce - all died for this.

Edit: I should have specified roster announcements though. It's likely to not be new players...

A couple of us were able to confirm that the roster will indeed only have the 6 Misfits players:

Not feeling too good about that one, otherwise the logo is starting to grow on me and so is the color scheme somewhat. I'm still not entirely crazy about the name but I guess it was to be more inclusive of both Miami and Orlando.

Coming back to the roster though, I really hope there's some sort of mid season short signing period because there's so much talent available. Uber mentioned it could have been money related, but they really need some more players in their to cover weaknesses as well as for insurance...

I'm not sure if you saw this, but they confirmed on twitter that they have further announcements. Link: https://twitter.com/FLMayhem/status/926144329566924800

I did see it, that was my tweet, but I don't know if he means more roster announcements or just any announcements since I did't specify.

Why is it Florida Mayhem and not Miami Mayhem? Sounds better as the latter.

I agree it sounds better but I'm sure they wanted a name that included both Miami and Orlando, since their franchise is for both cities.

I changed my post to include some bold text for you. <3

Holy shit, its literally just Misfits too. I know not everyone agrees with me on this but Misfits has not looked good despite winning stuff. They're gonna get stomped unless they see some dramatic team dynamic changes. It's obviously not skill holding them back.

I firmly believe every other announced roster except maybe SF will decimate them. Even Boston.

Great write up. I like the logo and hope they add to the team but its fine either way.

Wait, Really? This is it? Their tanks are going to get eaten alive, the dream would be to get Fragi, Zappis, and Shaz at least, it would open up the team to play so much more, with Cwoosh being able to flex onto DPS and Zappis over to dps and Zebbosai onto flex tank (Zarya in particular).

So, they get Oasis, so they pick Fragi, Cwoosh, Zappis, Tviq, Zebbosai and Shaz, so on the two Pharah maps they run Pharmercy with Tviq on Pharah, and Cwoosh on Genji, and have Zappis and Fragi on the tanks, then on University they can have Cwoosh on Wins and Fragi on Rein and still have a very good DPS in Zappis' Soldier, and if that doesn't work out they move Zappis over to Offtank and Cwoosh to DPS, obviously they won't have a Tracer, but it's just an example.

Another one, they are on Kings Row and they have Fragi, Zappis, Tviq, Logix, Zuppeh, and Zebbosai. So on offence they have 3 dps with Zappis on Hanzo to open up, if it doesn't work they run standard dive. Then on Defence, they run 3 Tanks, 2 DPS, 1 Healer, with Zuppeh Ana, Fragi Rein, Zebbosai Zarya, Zappis Dva, and Tviq and Logix on Junk and Soldier respectively. If the Ana buffs go through, it has everything, tanks for Ana to get ult fast, spam, solid Pharah counters with Ana 3 shotting squishies, Zuppeh is probably the best Ana in EU and has a ton of experience healing 3 tanks. The Soldier also gives extra protection and sustain for ana with the biotic feild.

If they got Zappis Fragi and Shaz with this roster, the comps they could run are endless, they could trick up teams so well and it would add a depth that teams can't prepare against, obviously i know Zappis isnt in OWL, but maybe he could get signed eventually, who knows.

And the playstyle difference between Cwoosh and Fragi would always keep the enemy teams on their toes, it also allows them to be prepared for any meta.

It doesn't even have to be Zappis, Tseini would work extremely well on the roster in that position too, even someone like Harbleu or Space (rumored to be on IMT) would bring the flexibility of being able to play dps, having Cwoosh being able to play a solid Genji and Zebbosai a strong Zarya is an advantage, with the current roster of only 6, how would they adapt to new metas? If 3 DPS is very good, they couldn't do anything, same with triple tank, or solo support, or triple support, no one know what the meta will be, if the new hero (support hopefully) is super op, and Mercy still has her rez, and Zen stays strong, then 3 supports would be good, we never know what the meta will be, but i would love to see them add more players and flesh out their potential.

I like the skit and the colour scheme. The rest is pretty meh to me.
I hope they at least get Shaz and Fragi. They are clear upgrades on Rein and flex support, and Zappis is a well rounded player that built 2 successful teams, but he said he wouldn't be in S1.

Doesn't look very promising so far.

BoomBox then ? :thinking: IIRC Zuppeh was a really good Ana, might bring in more balance.
And talk about a player not known to anyone a couple months ago, BigG00se living the dream, good for him.

Has to be BoomBox.

Alicus said that this roster is the fifth best in the league, so I imagine their new players are gonna add to the star quality they already have.

Apparently "Miami Mayhem" is already trademarked, so they couldn't use it.

i hope they pick up the rest of Gigantti + the other Rogue support (whose name escapes me). It would be horrible to see the players from Gigantti lose out on OWL especially with all the hard work they put in, especially Davin.
