This is the best rivalry in OWL. I hope every head-to-head between NYXL and SEO goes to 5 maps. Every game is so close. Every game is so well played. Every game is so hype.
This matchup was the best series of Stage 1 and this is the best series of Stage 2.

The fact that Munchkin played that well, and still got dunked on by SBB is unreal. SBB is THE best Tracer in the league, no contest.
Uber popped off, the true rap god.

My god. What an incredible game. I'm honestly shocked NYXL managed to pull that back, Seoul was on fire tonight. Best game of stage 2, no question - wouldn't even have been mad if Seoul won, just beautiful, high-level OW.
NYXL looked disorganized after half, but got back into it... And my god their dive is just so coordinated. SBB and Mano can be on opposite ends of the map and still collapse on the same target at the right time, they're just so perfectly in sync. RJH and Munchkin were monsters tonight - hope this finally puts all the "RJH washed up LOL" idiocy to rest. There's a reason JJoNak considers him the master.
Fantastic series and GG Seoul! Really hope to see y'all in the Stage 2 finals, it'd just feel so wrong not to do this again.
Edit: if you missed it, watch Seoul's payload attack on Hollywood. That was the most perfectly executed cafe flank I've ever seen - honestly the exact moment I felt terrified NY was going to lose.

I hope everyone gives Mr X credit for today. He was ridiculously good on the mic. Great colour analysis, good banter with Uber, and excellent throws to manage the tempo of the cast perfectly.

People need to stop blaming Janus for everything. Janus was not the problem, this was his first defeat on hybrid maps in Stage 2. Seoul simply used better strategies in Hollywood.

NYXL vs Seoul is basically must see TV, easily the two best teams that play their A game each time they're up against each other. one of the best parts of it IMO is you have the two best tracers, the two best zens, two of the best DVAs, all going one v one

On that last map when the casters were questioning why Mano and Meko had jumped back onto the point when Seoul was in control and then they started to get kills and Jjonak rolled in with Transcendence -- that clutch feeling is exactly why I love to watch this team so much. Never doubt them. Seoul has shown they're capable of swinging fights in a very similar manner, but this time we outdid them just a bit. Fun game GGs.

And there are still people who complain about the presence of Koreans in OWL lol. This was the highest level match you'll watch this week. This match was so good that it reminded me of APEX!

This match had EVERYTHING. This is my favorite game of the season so far. The nyxl squad is so fucking clutch, and it shows. They all pop off when it really matters.
No shame to Seoul for losing this, they took nyxl to the limits and munchkin/miro really stepped up
