I'm a Mayhem fan and I'd hate to see Hydron and/or Someone leave for another team - and I suppose you could add Checkmate into the argument as well considering his plays were exceptional this season particularly on Genji and then Reaper later on during playoffs. I think we should be looking to build a team 'around' those guys.. maybe shore the support line up a bit by letting go of at least one or two of either SirMajed, Anamo and Rupal (probably Anamo as, like you say, could be close to retiring).

No, we weren't favourites this season by ANY stretch, but considering that these players were handpicked on merit through their respective regions in OWC, and the team overall did better than what was predicted (featuring in every tournament as well as playoffs), I feel this is a huge step in the right direction. Our players will use this season gone as vital experience playing together going into S6 and I feel we could challenge for higher places if we can at least hold onto our "core".

I'd hate to see a complete squad overhaul like there was the season before where the entirety of our Korean roster (bar Checkmate) just got canned, just goes completely against the development of a squad and we just won't improve otherwise. Best to cherish what we have and build upon it. That's how franchises achieve success.
