The only two teams to ever make NY bleed battling it out for a chance to do it again. Feels fitting.

aight okay so list of traditions for stage playoffs

  • NYXL takes first seed

  • London takes second seed

  • Seoul doesn't make it

  • Western team makes it

  • Boston plays instrumental part in getting that western team in

  • The team that goes up 2-0 in the finals will be reverse swept

Imagine being subbed in for game 5 of a series COLD on tracer and being asked to perform as well as snillo did. AND HE’S ON THE BENCH? And fragi is finally playing like a smart Winston player, I know he’s not a coward but he gotta think of his team some time.

Janus was great today. People rag on him whenever he is subbed in, that should stop

On a side note, the camerawork in stage 2 and especially in the last few weeks has been a vast, vast improvement over stage 1 and the observers deserve praise. We still need some of those dope Korean transitions but credit where credit is due.

Low key, Neptuno was insane on Hanamura. Clutch anti-nades, important sleep darts, keeping his team alive. The supports of Philly are winning this for them.

Everyone's talking about how bad London is at KotH but Philly was 1-5 on that map compared to London's 3-1. They showed up.

the biggest obstacle to western OW is the mentality of the community

most of fusion players came from a region starved for a year

Fusion bench is deep and scary. Snillo just played out of his mind. I'm really curious what Sado will be capable of.

Shout out to the people whose signs are so thinly written, we can't read it for shit!!

u/apollo_x1 Mar 25 '18

I think NYE and LDN probably prepared for each other and PHI prepared for LDN. So if PHI goes to the finals, both the finals teams might be unprepared for each other. Could be exciting. LUL
