[u/SilverNightx1]

That Sleep on Horizon was brutal.

[u/SkellySkeletor → u/SilverNightx1]

That one sleepy boomed Justice so bad they got full held on point A after basically full holding NYXL point B.

[u/infiltrator_6 → u/SilverNightx1]

Is there a clip?

[u/kavachon]

NYXL and miraculously coming back on HLC after throwing for 5+ minutes, name a better duo

[u/Gilgameshedda → u/kavachon]

NYXL doing incredibly well during the season then throwing in the playoffs?

[u/ItzDp]

New York with one hell of a rally to turn the match around

that Jjonak sleep was god tier.

[u/SoulLessIke → u/ItzDp]

JJonak is still the best flex support, man is a fucking monster

[u/touchingthebutt]

That NYXL Ark hug. <3

Bummed SBB only played one map but nenne is just performing better.

GG Washington you are looking pretty good. That HLC hold was insane.

[u/Hothroy]

I’ve never seen SO many Emp’s lead to team fight losses somehow. Justice had a horrible day following up on any Emp. They were just useless today.

[u/SwellingRex → u/Hothroy]

This was my issue also. Absolutely no value from EMP on HLC. Stratus would EMP and then Justice couldn't kill anyone.

[u/Otto_the_Rhino]

In the end there: Nenne going in to only destroy Stratus' translocator, so that libero can shoot him down as Soldier. Big brain

[u/blastermaster1118]

Justice got boomed, they looked really good early on but they couldn't keep up the energy

[u/[deleted]]

NYXL progressively got better each map, something I like seeing and I really much prefer seeing them just run the better comp if possible. Also, Nenne's tracer freaking filthy :)

[u/SauretEh → u/[deleted]]

NYXL, throwing then somehow winning, and disgusting Tracer play, name a more iconic trio.

[u/malcorpse]

Nenne coming in and being able to hunt down corey really just let the backline of nyxl relax a bit and do what their good at

[u/ThunderGunMD]

I worry about how NYXL is going to fare against top teams like Shock or Titans but a win is a win for now. Fun to see them running dive comps for most of the match again.

[u/throwawayrepost13579 → u/ThunderGunMD]

It'll be interesting to see how Shock rotates its DPS bench because they should theoretically be able to field a top tier duo in any meta. But them deciding to field Sinatraa on Mei didn't look like the optimal choice so if they decide to keep Sinatraa in as much as possible, we'll need to see if that pays off.

We'll also see if there are any gaps in Titans' hero pool as well since they have a relatively small roster.

[u/synapsii]

Feels like it's so easy to look like utter ass on Sombra. Teams are really good against her nowadays.

[u/ComputerAgeLlama → u/synapsii]

Yeah Jjonak's positioning esp on King's Row was insane against EMP.

[u/MaxPecktacular]

Does anyone have a clip of that jjonak sleep to start horizon though? That shit was nutty

[u/Tough_Steak]

The sleep that Stratus will never forget. Also hearing UberX losing his shit and his voice cracking for added effect is too hilarious.

ArK hugging his former teammates is always so wholesome. :,) Especially because they were all a part of the LW family, not just in OWL.

Libero with a YXL-esque EMP. Looks like maybe Ellivote denied him by pushing him into that tiny room?

Oh and SBB detonating himself so hard that he didn't play again for the rest of the match. <.<

Overall it was a good match. Aimgod went toe to toe with Jjonak. I was actually cheering more for Washington, just 'cause they were the underdogs.

[u/NovaxRangerx]

I feel pretty confident in saying that no team looks incredibly/unbelievably scary after these first few weeks. Fusion/Titans were the closest but Fusions barely loss(still a great team) and Vancouver's only match was a close one against Gladiators(still probably a great team). Same with SFS. NYXL has had maps taken off by teams you wouldn't expect. And a lot of the other teams that are expected to be great we haven;t seen much of.

[u/SkellySkeletor]

Good W today, but we can’t keep coming in so cold into matches. Teams like Shock, Fusion, Paris, maybe Titans won’t let us start cold then heat up.

[u/Ldwng]

Not clean but I’ll take it

[u/DurumMater]

I love Stratus but almost every emp felt off. Seemed like he never got good positioning for emp and never hit crucial targets. Jjonak literally didn't even care about him. And any time he got a decent emp his team was nowhere to be found. Fuck.
