The signing is one of few pickups the Mayhem has made in the offseason. In addition to re-signing DPS Kim \u201cYaki\u201d Jun-ki, they announced the hiring of new head coach Jordan \u201cGunba\u201d Graham and support Majed \"SirMajed\" Alrashied. Although he first joined the team as a rookie DPS, Checkmate became the team\u2019s main tank taking over Son \u201cOGE\u201d Min-seok\u2019s role prior to being released. This was done during the middle of the season in the Summer Showdown tournament qualifiers.\u00a0 See Overwatch on Amazon The former DPS-turned-main-tank is back on DPS and is looking to showcase why he was initially brought onto the team in that role. \u201cSmoked our flex dps trials last year and destroyed them this year too,\u201d said Albert Yeh, vice president of esports operations for the Mayhem, about Checkmate. \u201c We're all very happy to have Checkmate back and the pieces are starting to come together. I'll provide more insight into the pickup and how he fits perfectly once our roster is complete.\u201d Checkmate\u2019s joining is a part of an ongoing overhaul process for the Florida Mayhem. Last week, Florida\u2019s previous head coach Kim \u201cKuKi\u201d Dae-kuk parted ways with the team, later being replaced by Gunba. Both Gunba and Checkmate join the only remaining member from the 2021 roster, Kim \u201cYaki\u201d Jun-ki, and new hire SirMajed.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/06130142\/flm.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476758"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2014"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476758"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":477188,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476758\/revisions\/477188"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476758"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=476758"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=476758"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=476758"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=476758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
