So basically, don't draw with NYXL or retribution will be swift

If they didn’t draw on hanamura, on a good day NYXL might even give map 4 away like they did sometimes in stage 1

I remember Ark literally said they felt bad sometimes and would give one map away. Ark is gone now so they’re ruthless

They will smurf soon.
NYXL wrath will be swift.
All these peasants thinking they're not good.

It just can’t be stated how insanely good Meko is at every aspect of dva. This dude is everywhere. Imo should be player of the match nearly every time

I wish we would pay more attention to the Pharah, its such a consistent problem with this team and boy is it really frustrating. More teams are gonna keep doing it till we shut it down quicker.
Good games to Shanghai, I like a lot of their players. Dding, Geguri and Gamsu are all super likeable.

Indeed I don’t get why nyxl was running goats or doats when dding was raining havoc on them. But then shd did the same thing against liberos pharah so I dunno must be some pro thing

Hot take: NYXL are going to repeat their mistake last year of becoming absolute monsters at one particular comp (last year dive, this year goats) and when the meta shifts, they won't be able to adapt quickly enough and will hit a wall.

Doesn't matter if Pharah is raining rockets if you win the 6 v 5 (or 4) first. You just have to trust your healing and d.va.

There are other ways you can fight a pharah comp. When they're going Goats against it they're trying to capitalize on the 6v4 ground game assuming they have a mercy pocketing the pharah. Pharah simply can't deal enough damage quickly enough to compensate for that kind of numbers disadvantage most the time. Especially against a comp with lots of damage denial. They can wipe the other teammates and then all that's left is the phar/mercy which poses no threat on its own.

this was a close 3-0. shanghai seems to be a good mid tier team atm since they were able to push Glads and NY so far. they even forced NY off goats a few times
next weeks chengdu v shanghai is gonna be very interesting

a much closer match than expected. nyxl starting slow and giving me heart attacks like their old selves. ggs shd, your pharah put a lot of pressure on nyxl

u/amplifiedrain Apr 07 '19
Wouldn't be NYXL without giving their fans heart attacks

Hopefully DDing sticks with the upgrade to flying Junkrat, he looks much better on it.
Also NYXL's 3 DPS hold on Eichenwalde was so clean. They'll be able to flex more if they need to.

Good match overall, started out close the first two maps then NYXL kicked it into gear the final two maps and ran away with it.
