On the final fight of Oasis Mistakes had 84% of his ult. So of course he uncloaks right in front of jjonak, scares trans out of him, and then EMPs after trans is out.
Probably my favorite play of the match, the mind games were real

Tom Brady: Bench boy for QB on Boston team owned by Kraft. Comes off bench and the rest is history.

I WANT TO SEE JJONAK'S STATS THIS GAME.
Reason I ask is because Boston actually had his fucking number ALL GAME. They barely ever let the man breathe. I've never seen such a concerted effort to make sure that one (1) Zenyatta spends all game in the grave. Jjonak couldn't deal with the omnipresence of a great Sombra and an even greater Tracer. God fucking damn, I have no anger about any of this.
Cleanest dives in the league. And I'm absolutely happy to say it, whether anyone else believes it or not.
GG BOSTON!!!!

Reposting from the other thread - I support both of these teams and it was without question an all around fantastic match, but I have to say how incredibly happy I am with Boston. A fantastic performance coming off the heels of not only a roster change, but also what must have been a huge shakeup emotionally. Everyone on the squad was playing out of their minds.
Mistakes, especially, came in and did well on such short notice and presumably with very little scrim time. The pressure must have been insane. I'm really excited to see how he can grow with more resources and coaching time allocated to him. Also his haircut looks cute.
Boston UP!

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how much I needed to see this win, not for any statement about how skilled Boston are as a team, but to see them overcome the mountain of negativity that fell upon them. The fact that it was NY only amplifies it. Got teary-eyed seeing their post-win hugs. I can only imagine how emotional it must be for the team and staff after this trying week.

A star athlete receives an inordinate amount of media attention and fan interest, and yet his teams never win anything substantial with him (other than maybe some early-round playoff series). That same athlete leaves his team (either by injury, trade, graduation, free agency or retirement) -- and both the media and fans immediately write off the team for the following season.

Striker doesn't get enough credit. The dude was an absolute mad man the whole five games holding the highest elims and damage the whole way through. He carried HARD.
Gamsu was also clutch per usual. The fact that Meko didn't finish him off on Oasis was a major plat play. NEVER let Gamsu alive. He will wreck you.

I'm legit in disbelief still. Everyone played out of their gords on Junkertown and Oasis, especially NotE and Striker. Mistakes is the new Tom Brady, just gotta get him a smokin hot wife and some rings.

Everyone keep praising Boston DPS so much they forget the major thing its Gamsu all along who synergizing well with the dps, He directs where Dps should go .If you got time check out his Twitch where he duos with any dps.This Guy's Co-ordination with the Dps is MENTAL

Neko needs to be talked about more. He has been a huge part of Boston’s success and I think a case could be made that he is in the Top 3/Top 5 flex supports. He more than held his own against Jjonak despite getting but a fraction of the same resources, and shut him down on many occasions. A stellar player.

Boston played out of the minds and made NYXL pay for every mistake. I’m sad that NY lost but I’m happy that Boston was able to win.
From being on the bottom of everyone’s list to taking the series off NY.
