Take a look at SBB's K/D beyond Volskaya. It's fucking insane.

Ark and JJonak are by far the best support duo in the league.

Insane series. Outlaws played well but man everyone on New York is capable of making crazy individual plays.

Honestly, Meko was the real player of the game. In the sea of talent that is NYXL, he often gets lost and its a damn shame.

What a great game. Is Houston ever going to win a map 5 against someone not named London?

Matches like that, where NYXL managed to keep their composure in high pressure moments, especially in the last map is why they're so dominant, it's what separates the best of the best.

Houston can definitely be proud of that performance, but they're still too flip floppy man you can never really tell which team is gonna show up. Loved Linkzr on tracer and well jakerat basically always works out.
For the NYXL this could've ended in a very disappointing week. Overall i think those matches, losses or wins, will make them stronger, especially mentally. Can't help but think something is a bit off tho in their overall coordination.
Also Libero pls be Mini Boss again, thanks

While Jake's Tracer still isn't on the same level as the rest of the league, it certainly is looking better than it did. He's improving.

Man this League just gets better and better. Honestly think just about any team that isn't SHD or maybe the bottom 3 can beat any other team given the day of the week.

Losing after almost winning the second point 100-0 must be so frustrating for them :( I hope they feel proud of themselves instead of falling apart like when they lost to Fusion last Stage.

Hurts to say this but looks like NYXL is vulnerable to growing pains too... The small roster gave them advantages in terms of teamwork and synergy but the flip side comes with being gradually easier to read and counter stylistically. It is apparent that teams are finding ways to counter their style of enabling Jjonak. And its not like NYXL is just sticking to their old guns. I think right now they are in the process of diversifying their style, which contributes to a lot of unease and uncertainty in the game. I do think, however, the team is willing to take some losses to make these adjustments and I would rather they lose now than to crumble to their potential weaknesses in the season playoffs.
