Florida Mayhem vs. London Spitfire
Florida Mayhem
Last year's Florida Mayhem showed us so many signs of hope last season, but now they look like they've got it figured out. Going 4-0 in a pool with the legendary San Francisco Shock, and improving Vancouver Titans, and two of the most promising Contenders teams in the Pro-Am was no small feat. They started off very strong here, and now its time for them to take it to those last few top teams to prove that this is the best Florida Mayhem to date.

London Spitfire
Starting last season, this roster became the best one trick roster since the 2019 season was dominated by GOATS. The Reinhardt Brawl/Rush is the only thing London can really play high tier matcher with, and well, they've mastered it. They play to their strengths because last season it took them halfway through the playoff bracket. Any team that can't handle the Brawl/Rush composition this season is going to have a very tough time against this team.
