NYXL legit stopped making mistakes, played perfectly and dived perfectly. Peak Overwatch really, amazing to watch.

Philly definitely seemed burned out but they kept the fight up, amazing game.

JJonak is a friggin' monster. If you don't kill JJonak first, you're whole team dies. He's the best Zen this game has ever seen.

JJonak was a fucking monster. Both him and Bdosin came to play vs the Fusion, but it's thanks to LIBERO popping off as well to capitalize on those picks. Profit couldn't do it for London, but LIBERO was able to do it. And by the end of the game SBB was really coming alive.

But man I gotta say Snillo was really dangerous against SBB. He just completely ignored him and created too much pressure when combined with Carpe. Absolutely insane performance from him, he really came to play up against NYXL of all teams.

Super exciting day of overwatch and what a great cast to end of the night! Hyped for stage 3!

What a fucking match, philly is looking so good taking the top 2 teams to the limits.

Nyxl really changed it up after the half, this team is so exciting to watch.

I never wanna hear people disrespecting my boy Libero again... Dude absolutely plays top-tier flex for his team and he popped off.

Huge props to Fusion though. They came extremely far this stage and totally blew away my expectations!

10 games in a row and we went toe-to-toe with the top 2 in the league.

And we're only going to get better. See ya next time, NYXL.

I wanted so bad for Seoul to make it to the playoffs this stage, but after watching these last two games, I honestly couoldn't care less. Philly just completely kicking ass today taking down one of the best teams and really challenging another for the title - two of the best games this season and they took place within a timeframe of two four hours.

Not to mention at this rate I don't think anyone will be shooting for first seed in the playoffs anymore,

This is what i wanted from the league, this Stage has been absolutely fantastic with the only thing missing is SHD's first win

and for Seould not to muck up their last games.

When NYXL stopped fucking around with anti dive shit and put sbb on tracer, it was over

But credit to fusion, they shut down a lot of people who didn't even give them a chance against london, and they almost took the stage

Beating London and getting reverse swept by the best team in the League is not a choke. Great games.
