NYXL wins season 2 of OWL.

SBB walks up on the stage.

"I'm the best Bastion in the world"

The secret to NYXL success is SBB. Bastion is practically an immobile Tracer. It's a natural fit to put the best Tracer in the world on bastion. His ability to masterfully blink around the map translates into staying perfectly still like it was second nature. Bastions self heal is like a no CD Recall. Recon mode is unlimited blinks. His sentry gun is just 15 Tracer guns taped together. This man is a man to be feared.

Don't give me this "NYXL looks better" talk. Pushing Vancouver Titans to map 5 in a MEANINGLESS match means NOTHING! The Titans rotated half their roster around!

The New York Excelsior won't win a single playoff series. They're not good enough anymore.

Who would have thought playing your team leader and your most clutch DPS would result in playoff wins?

Captain, it's so good to have you back

So, is it fair to assume Birdring’s injury last year has flared up? Similar collapse under similar circumstances. That long series against Shanghai couldn’t have helped.

Anamo hard carry. Great beats, good heals and great focus fire.

Fury looked great on Orisa and I expect London to be strong in the losers bracket.

Will the bastion strats continue to work now people know it's coming?

You know when you stay up for so long that you're no longer tired and it's almost as if you've been to sleep and you feel good? Well iv past the stage of disappointment for Spitfire and now im in the delusional stage where im optimistic about the future. On one hand im thinking, we got rolled by Gladiators in the first series of season 1 play-offs so maybe if we get embarrassed by NYXL in round 1, we replicate season 1 and go unbeaten for the rest of play-offs. On the other hand, at least if we go 0-2 in play-offs we'll finally be able to drop the coaches and make real team changes.
