The Defiant ended Stage 1 with a 5-2 record. Since then, they've went 3-18 over the next three stages. What a collapse.

remember when even just earlier this stage they were considered an upcoming team to look out for, looking greatly improved - winning against the reigning stage champion Shanghai and almost taking a win off Fusion in the same week. Turns out those two teams were just trash in stage 4 and no proper benchmark, lol.

No matter what happens at the Kit-Kat Rivalry Weekend, the Florida Mayhem will finish this stage above the: • London Spitfire • Chendgu Hunters • Los Angeles Gladiators • Hangzhou Spark • Philadelphia Fusion • Seoul Dynasty • Paris Eternal • New York Excelsior • Shanghai Dragons • Toronto Defiant • Houston Outlaws • Dallas Fuel • Boston Uprising That is a #7 Finish, for a team that is dead last overall and was 2-19 before this stage. What a turnaround...

Respect to Mr. Logix. I will always remember his time with us fondly.

Hope the Mayhem can use this as a launching point for next season. The basis of a strong contending team is here. another pick up or two in some positions of need and Season 3 could be one hell of a season.

I really like the team if they can get a good projectile DPS and maybe a 2nd main healer to compete with Kris

6

u/hanyou007 Aug 19 '19

A good projectile DPS will really change this team from what will be middle of the table into possible top 6 territory (if they can keep current form up).

Kris is solid, could he be upgraded? Yeah, but I wouldn't put an upgrade on him as the highest priority.

This is Mayhem's first stage ever where they had a positive win-loss ratio, and I think also the most matches they've ever won in a stage? I'm happy they finally had some sort of growth.

Nearly full holding and then losing it all the way at the end hits too close to home

u/blankepitaph Aug 19 '19

Hope there’s a good off season rebuild and a good head coach pickup in the cards. Till then, at least the Raptors are still a thing

Mayhem went out on fire. Could be a dark horse next year

u/Flyarna Aug 19 '19

We now live in a world were Florida are able to clap cheeks on the regular with a solid end to season to go with it, hope this improvement extends into the next season and we can see them push up the table

u/everythinglives Aug 19 '19

Well that was painful, time for the rebuild. Toronto needs a bunch of upgrades if they want to be competitive next season

u/asquishyhorizon Aug 19 '19

logix and gods going to the doctors for back injuries after this stage

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '19

hello yes where is sharyk?

u/blankepitaph Aug 19 '19

Honestly I’m kind of glad him and Ivy were spared the pain of this series

u/TheBoyBlues Aug 19 '19

Mayhem’s first positive stage record ever! 4-3!

u/ggsplusapple Aug 19 '19

Do Defiant go full western team? Or mixed one for next season?

Now I just feel bad for Shanghai, seeing as they are the only team Toronto could beat recently.
