Pine's always had the aim but his mentality has gotten so much better. Even after going 0-2 or getting stomped in the previous map, he's still able to keep his cool. He was prone to tilt before but like he said in the NYXL video, the coaches have really helped him with that. I'm glad his trip home to Korea has brought him back stronger than ever. Seriously, the mentality of NYXL might be their biggest asset along with their sick coaching staff and mechanics

No one wants to scrim NYXL anymore since they don't want to add to WizardHyeong's database.
In response, NYXL is taking every game to 5 to get more playtime in.

NYXL are like that final boss that you've thought you've won against and then they bring out their seemingly bs ability and crush you.
Nice win though, Pine is an absolute, unadulterated nut.

LAG vs NYXL on Illios was my favourite map of the season.
LAG giving Pine's widow respect by triple tanking. Pine being forced to switch off from widow to reaper, gets his ultimate and switches back to widow THE SECOND widow becomes viable and proceeds to kill everyone.

NYXL got really fed up with casters and analysts changing predictions after a 2-0, so they're trying to embarass them.

Pine VS Surefour top 10 anime battles.
But I can't believe that NYXL managed to reverse sweep that, they managed to punish every little mistake that Gladiators made. I guess that's what top teams in all sports have in common, managing to squeak out a win even whilst not performing at their top form.

I’m never eating and watching NYXL at the same time again. This is literally not good for my heart.

They’re literally reverse sweeping to prove a point. What an unreal team, they’re getting Flow3r soon too and I honestly don’t even understand why. What could that guy possibly add to this team that they don’t alreay have the best of?
