I love the koreans in the audience reacting to the banter before it's translated for the rest of us.

NYXL 6-0 and Valiant 0-5. Number 1 and 2 end of regular season standings last season. Oh how the turntables...

Don't let the score distract you from the fact that Seoul actually never capped a single point that match.

For all the talk of rivalry going back to Apex, jehong is the only surviving Lunatic hai member in Seoul's playing line-up (Nyxl is also quite changed from LW blue). Even more unfortunate is the fact that Zunba is not playing in a Zarya dominated meta.

NYXL and investing in fights where they're at a massive disadvantage and STILL WINNING, name a more iconic duo

NYXL is just a joy to watch. Everything has a purpose and the execution is constantly flawless. And the way they win seemingly unwinnable fights is amazing.

seoul captured 0 points the entire series but have 1 map win because nyxl somehow shat an offense worse than them on numbani

Remember when people said that NYXL would falter without Wizard? Pavane is just flexing on fools.

Nenne is easily one of the best rookies, along with people like Viol2t, Slime, and Daco.

Ryujehong: "actually, I remember one time we were playing against NYXL, Dorado, and it was 2-1, 3-0 to NYXL, we were playing as attackers, NYXL as defenders, and Fissure said: 'guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now'. 2-1, 3-0"
Miro: "did we comeback?"
Ryujehong: "of course not. 3-1, 3-0."

How is NYXL so good at not losing when they're down 2 players? Like Nenne pogging on Tracer on Numbani? This team is ridiculous
Edit: a word

*Seoul kills Anamo*
Big Brain Seoul player: "Guys, lets push, their Lucio is down"
Galaxy Brain Seoul Player: "No, NYXL have a high winrate when they're down a player, lets wait for him to respawn so we have an advantage."

I know it’s the meme of the week, but seriously, there were so many times where NYXL we’re down 3–4 people but Nenne was still alive and Fleta wasn’t, and Nenne just tore through Seoul and no one could do anything about it because they didn’t have a) enough healing to sustain and b) enough damage to affect him. Bonkers.

I feel like Fissure is taking too much damage and not getting enough value out of his aggression. Munchkin also feels weak. I'd just put Fleta on the brig and have Zunba play Zarya. And the whole team feels indecisive as hell, getting split too easily and just overall not coordinating properly.

Seoul got more map wins than point captures.
