Organizational changes

In early October 2019, Florida released assistant general manager Scott "Bearhands" Tester and promoted assistant general manager Andrew "yeHHH" Yeh to general manager.[2] Assistant coach Kim "KH1" Hyung-il was released from the team a few days later.[3] On November 20, Florida announced the signing of former RunAway coach Kim "KuKi" Dae-kuk as their head coach and former MVP Space coach Kim "Dox" Min-seok as an assistant coach.[4]

For the 2020 season, the Mayhem debuted new colors, trading the yellow and red color scheme that the team had used for two years in favor of a 1980s Miami color scheme, featuring pink, teal, and black.[5]

Roster changes

The Mayhem enter the new season with no free agents, ten players which they have the option to retain for another year, and two players under contract.[6] The OWL's deadline to exercise a team option is November 11, after which any players not retained will become a free agent. Free agency officially began on October 7.[7]

On October 7, Florida announced that they would not pick up the team option for flex support Jo "HaGoPeun" Hyeon-woo, tank Yoon "Swon" Seong-won, substitute off-tank Koo "Xepher" Jae-mo, substitute support Park "RaiN" Jae-ho, and substitute DPS Choi "DPI" Yong-joon.[3] Florida's first acquisitions of the offseason were announced on November 20, when the team announced the signings of DPS Kim "Yaki" Jun-ki and support Gang "Gangnamjin" Nam-jin from Korean Contenders team RunAway.[8]
