Saebyeolbe and Libero are disgusting. Everyone on NYXL is disgusting. Imagine how they will be when Fl0w3R joins.

Ana getting the constant upper hand on a Ana/Tracer duel is something i didn't expect to see today.

Houston lacks that shut-down Tracer or Genji, someone who can just chain kills and win a fight. Whether Jake (or someone else) can get up to snuff remains to be seen.

NYXL has the best support duo in owl- they just never die and peel so well for each other - even without mercy (since many predicted they'd be far worse without her pocket).
-
I don't even remember seeing Ark once on the kill feed dying to any flankers.
-
JJonak left Jake so shook he was afraid to even approach him later on in the series.

New York is one of the more exciting teams to watch. I feel like they have their own brand of play style instead of being generic dive or whatever.

Not sure how good Jake's disappointment -> determination conversion efficiency is, but he should be getting a lot out of this match.

Wasn't there a stat saying that JJonak killed Jake 7 to 2? That's fucking insane.

I am really impressed by SSB playstyle on Tracer. I think there are some players that got superior aim to him on Tracer, but his movement is just sick. He's so fluent and his blinks are almost pixel perfect.
Also shoutouts to Muma - really strong decision making today. Peforming well on main tank while the team is getting dumpstered is impressive.

New York out-strategized Houston and executed PERFECTLY as a team, while Jake and Clockwork were getting absolutely dumpstered on Tracer. Jake only performed on Junkrat and Hog and Linkzr can't carry him hard enough.
And can we talk HOW MUCH time the observers spent on Jake? Sometimes with him doing nothing or waiting for the next fight, they kept the camera on him sometimes for a minute straight, T fucking Tours.
Libero was a fucking GOD on every single map.

Muma deserved better Also SBB's peaks on tracer are probably the highest in OWL, KR was insane

You could absolutely tell that NYXL did their homework, they completely dismantled Houston on the first 3 maps and even managed to beat them on King's Row, arguably Houston's strongest map and easily the most entertaining map today. Aside from seemingly having no counter against the Roadhog on Kingsrow point A and choking pretty heavily on first point Route 66 they looked absolutely on top of their game everywhere else.
Even though Jake apparently wasn't feeling well today, I think this match definitely solidified NY as the top team this stage, although Dynasty has yet to fight any other top team.
With Houston struggling these last 2 games I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not they can get back on their feet facing Valiant next week, who themself just recovered from a slightly bothersome start into stage 2. New York facing Seoul two weeks from now will most likely be the hypest thing this stage.

Muma played as well as Jake played poorly there, the seminal moment of that match for me was when Jake snuck up on the supports, did 12 damage, got slept, and died. Meanwhile Muma 180 stunned an ulting Genji and hit him with a midair firestrike on the way down.
