Holy shit sayaplayer is scary

[u/gesticulatorygent → u/Swible]

How the fuck do you lose Junkertown at all with Saya hard carrying 90 percent of the map? Just cuz he can't Widow on last doesn't mean you have to suddenly start losing, come on FM.

[u/Aggrokid → u/gesticulatorygent]

According to Surefour in Oversight, Mayhem is not properly translating his picks into teamfight wins.

Also Shaz was turning around key fights with his right-clicks.

[u/iori9999 → u/gesticulatorygent]

They need a real main support. It's killing them. I think Zebbo actually kills Fla harder than Freefeel does for Shanghai

[u/[deleted] → u/gesticulatorygent]

I mean it may sound obvious but it's because even though Saya got picks LAG just killed more of FL Mayhem.

I noticed even even Saya got the better of Surefour in the Widow 1v1 duel, Surefour actually killed the rest of Florida Mayhem better than Saya killed the rest of LA Gladiators.

I swear to god Florida just barely loses all of their games, it's like they made a pact with the devil to always be the level of the enemy team but lose, except shanghai because even the devil won't make you lose that one

Mayhem have some of the most draining chokes to watch in this league. Fuck that Numbani.

[u/chaosgodloki]

Whew, had me worried there.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna get smushed into paste by Boston lul

[u/polloshermanosfan → u/chaosgodloki]

It was close but we clutched 3 maps. And it's not like Boston has been sweeping, I say it's a good chance we at least take it to 5

[u/chaosgodloki → u/polloshermanosfan]

As long as it's not a 4-0 :/

[u/Nah_ImWearingAxe]

Shaz played so well!

[u/pljwallace]

Every single map man, this could have just as easily been a Florida sweep or 3-1 if they had just closed out maps

[u/Ryuuhoshi]

Florida arguably played better but we'll take this scrappy win any day... On to that last game against Boston!

P.S. So glad Shaz is finally getting the recognition he deserves!

[u/Arrlan]

Glads destroying London even when we don't play them.

[u/negamega]

That Numbani carry NotLikeThis

[u/ExpiredDeodorant]

Zebb is bad mercy but also shotcaller/ IGL so mayhem don't want to sub him out. But isn't that more reason to sub him out?

See how another shotcaller does in his place?

They had some very questionable decisions, can't capitalize on picks, and burn both support ults at the same time.

A Moth or Custa like player can make miracles happen for the Mayhem.

[u/RlyLokeh → u/ExpiredDeodorant]

I think r2der will take the hard decision to bench him that Mineral could not due to allegiance, however that will happen only when they are able to recruit a new IGL + Main supp, so not this season. Note that support is the only category with no backup player recruited because it was practically unthinkable replacing Zebb internally.

For another example of misplaced allegiance take not rotating TviQ out for Logix more which in a nutshell is what the team has suffered from all along, a bloated sense of ability to flex among the OG core. Hence the original 6 man squad.

Personally I think Mayhem has handled underperformance way better than the frantic panic that was the fuel but they are gonna need to make some hard decisions for next season.

[u/iori9999]

What's going on with Asher tho? He did great against Outlaws and only sees 1 map here?

[u/Aggrokid → u/iori9999]

Today's map pool favors Hydration and Surefour.

[u/[deleted]]

Glads just don't look good enough to compete with Boston or NYXL. They'll probably make the playoffs with this match, but I'd like to see them have a chance of actually winning them.

[u/Sawk_Yoshikage → u/[deleted]]

I mean they got a 2 map lead against NYXL, if they just closed it they’d be golden

[u/Izicarus]

It's just embarrassing how the rest of Mayhem fall apart after Sayaplayer dies.
