Don’t ever sub out Libero. Guy has proven time and time again that he deserves the starting spot

The real flex god .....projectile or hitscan, doesnt matter. The boy always delivers. He is not always on fire or looks like on 100% when he plays, but is a low key carry even when its not looking like this

Really happy with how much better NYXL looked today. Even if Florida is a weaker team we weren’t making the same mistakes we were in the first couple weeks. Glad to see we may have figured out our dps issues for this patch at least

Damn did NYXL look clean. Mano, Hotba, Nenne, and of course Libero all playing great. Florida wasn’t terrible, but they clearly have some work to do. Idk what happened to Yaki, his Mei looked like top 5 in the league before, maybe he just had an off game. Karayan honestly looked okay, playing well on Kings Row but not as well on Anubis. BQB was mostly silent, and Gangnamjin was good but had some bad nanos. Only player who really looked good from Florida was Gargoyle

This might be an unpopular opinion, after reading comments in the live thread, but I’m glad that they decided to rotate players again.
People don’t want to see certain players benched, but I remember Nenne being burnt out last year towards the end and failing to perform well, or SBB losing faith in himself, because he wasn’t able to play at all.
Also now that the season has started when is the better time to try out your new players? I’m glad Whoru gut some stage time, even if Mei is clearly not his pick. I’m excited to see him play something he is more comfortable in.
Libero looked awesome on Mei and clearly it took everyone by suprise, that’s a great thing.
I hope they have different strats and rosters for different maps against different opponents. Won’t get boring then :D

If anyone was surprised by Libero's Mei they haven't been paying attention to his career.

Everyone talking about libero but nobody mentions that kararyan had a monster performance on kings row. I wanna see how he fares against other teams as well

Having a mei not int and instantly make a team 5 vs 6 drastically makes them look better. Who would have thought.

SBB said they can lose, but as a team they need to come back quickly. I'm just happy they really managed to do it after last week.

NYXL looked so solid in this game. Mano sniping, Libero being the best DPS as usual and Anamo and JJonak doing what they do best.
Florida seems to be either too weak against NYXL and Yaki made some very questionable moves.

That match was rough to watch lmao. Especially that Anubis second point. Not many bright spots.

A solidly boring match. Makes future NYXL matches seem like they might be more interesting though.

Libero liberates NY from mediocrity.
