The Florida Mayhem has probably had the worst two years of any other Overwatch League team. Even the Shanghai Dragons, the team that was notorious across all sports for going on a record-setting 42 game losing streak, managed to turn their fortunes around and actually become a moderately successful team in 2019. For the Mayhem, changes needed to happen for 2020.



With a new head coach, new anticipated Contenders pickups, and actually attractive team colors, the Mayhem are looking to see if this new look can finally give them a season away from the bottom of the rankings. Head coach, Dae-kuk "KuKi" Kim, wants you to know that he’s committed to making the Mayhem a better team, regardless of the identity “A change in colors doesn’t effect how the team plays, aside from that, what I want to do is completely change how the Florida Mayhem feels.”

Joined by main tank San-ha "Karayan" Choi, dps Jun-ki "Yaki" Kim, and flex support Nam-jin "Gangnamjin" Gang, the team celebrated their first win as a new team in their first post-match interview. On the subject of the win, the team was in high spirits. “It was my first match in OWL, and I was pretty nervous, but this win is definitely a boost in confidence”, Gangnamjin told us.

Gangnamjin comes from a year of dominating Contenders Korea with Runaway. His teammate Yaki, also comes from Runaway and joined that team in the latter half of 2019. Both players talked about what it meant to finally make it to the top. For Yaki, “Just arriving in the League, itself it has meaning for me. Now that I’m here I’m going to show you even better plays”. Gangnamjin echoed this sentiment; “now that I’m here I’m going to try even harder to show you my skill.”
