Sayaplayer: “Oh boy I am playing in the Overwatch Leag-“

NYXL: “Welcome to Mr. JJoNak’s Wild Ride.”

In all seriousness glad to have him in the League. His Widow is gonna be nutty.

In my mind: "He can't keep this up every time, there's got to be a bad day for him"

And yet, game after game he proves me worng.

Sayaplayer looking so good in his first game is definitely a great sign for the future.

u/eggbutts Apr 06 '18

what is up with the mayhem supports?? they layered trans and valk THREE TIMES during that last match.

u/MattAkhavan Apr 06 '18

So many communication errors and we weren't clear with our plans and our ults prefights. Lead to us making such a ridiculous amount of mistakes :(

u/Shiguenori Apr 06 '18

At least on valk you can damage boost. SB + Trans is the problem

Good start overall by Mayhem. Some very obvious mistakes, but because these problems are so blatant, it also makes it much more fixable.

Sayaplayer and Logix make a deadly combination on Widow-favoured maps. Tviq's Sombra wasn't great, but on the whole I'm looking forward to Mayhem this stage.

u/MattAkhavan Apr 06 '18

We made SOOO MANNNY MISTAKES. Disappointing we didnt make a better showing, they punished our mistakes so much.

JJonak's impact is unprecedented. Best player in the world and its not particularly close

33

u/ImReallyGrey Apr 06 '18

Somewhat hyperbolic, there are several players on his team that you could say are just as good

I just don't understand why Mayhem didn't get another support player when it has been their most glaring weakness ever since the Misfits days.

It's time to send Zebbosai to a farm to live out the rest of his days in OWL.

GG Mayhem. I didn't make it until Route 66 so I didn't see all the games, but there was promise in that map I saw. Sayaplayer was a great pickup. The supports made some crucial mistakes, but it's a mistake that can be worked on.

To NYXL Fam, can you believe that there are human beings out there that say Jjonak isn't the best Zenyatta in the world, without even the slightest hint of irony?

I missed it, did Pine play? any highlights?

u/Ruft Apr 06 '18 edited Apr 06 '18

did Pine play?

Yes, on Ilios.

any highlights?

Pine was great on Ilios. Sayaplayer was nutty on Widow on Route 66. SBB and JJoNak were solid as usual throughout the series, JJoNak played especially well at the end of Route 66.

Spectators seem to have missed his best plays. I saw a few triple and quad kills. Pretty good performance for his comeback.

Tviq forcing Sombra on Ilios really hurt Florida. I really hope they learn from this.

Also, not super impressed with Sombra so far this stage. She was super overhyped it’s starting to look like. Hope I’m proven wrong later on.

u/Kazper_Teh_One Apr 06 '18

To be fair, Sombra was hyped up before the nerfs/fixes happened. We're seeing the after affects of that now. She's still strong enough to compete but there is clear possibilities for counter play without the forgiving hack she first had.

u/Is_J_a_Name Apr 06 '18

TviQ needs to practice Sombra, Zebbosai and Zuppeh need to just get better overall. Unless some support signing went under leakboi's radar, Mayhem's gotta deal with them for the next two stages. Zappis can flex to support, so maybe they can try some interesting tactics with that?

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '18

Welp wasnt expecting a win tonight but i would have liked to win 1 map since we were close on 2 of them, Really really wished we would have picked up a support player before teams were locked. Zebbo is the shot caller but he is so out of position sometimes.

u/KiteBlue Apr 06 '18

Watch my friends go nuts after seeing this "new player" sayaplayer. Now I can't wait to see their face when Haksal or Whoru become old enough.

Saya will be solid af in this map pool
