Mai Sakurajima

mai sakurajima brings an unusual split to the server: their work sits between controller structure and initiator pressure, with neither side fully swallowing the other. that contrast gave the rising tides split 2 stretch its shape, as omen, fade, and vyse could all belong to the same player without making the role feel borrowed. their aim held up well enough to keep utility from becoming an excuse, and the headshots added a sharper edge than the position might suggest.

since the april txg circuit, mai has kept appearing across different levels of competition, carrying useful form into the grassroots qualifiers and may circuit. the results do not turn every appearance into a statement, but the best run shows a player who can contribute before the round settles into a familiar pattern. mai is at their most convincing when the controller half creates room for the initiator half to act, rather than choosing between them.
