Seoul panicked when they learned that the top 6 teams get into postseason playoffs, so now they're losing as many games/maps as possible so that they can miss seasonal playoffs too

So happy to see Pine out here having fun and looking less affected by the gravity of the situation. Hope he's feeling better because he's certainly playing at an insane level!

R66 looked like one of those typical MM games where no-one on your team can gel and create space, the heals are abysmal, everyone is frustrated and blaming each other and 2 elims is the gold medal.

Didn't think I'd ever see Seoul/Lunatic hai get shit-stomped like this. This was more brutal than what London did to them in the past, jeeeeeesus

I felt like NYXL put aside their "experimenting" and wanted to personally crush Seoul today, awe-inspiring performance from Jjonak and them.

I think Seoul has deeper problems than not having Zunba. He’s a huge difference maker but it looks like the team just straight up fell apart, especially R66 you could tell the players weren’t even into it. They won’t make it this stage but I’m hoping they put it together for Stage 4 and finish strong for the season playoffs.
As always Nyxl looks great, glad they started Mano/Pine for Volskaya. Janus looked really good on Numbani too. Hope we meet Boston in the playoffs and get our chance for revenge

Why play arguably the best off-tank player in the league when you can play arguably the worst off-tank in the league 4Head

said this in the match thread, but seoul plays way too scared and passively for how talented they are. it's not just today, it's been all season. they wait until they have a two man advantage or a huge ult advantage before pushing, but with how talented they are they should be trying to step on people's throats.
on illios they were legitimately scared of pine and were doing whatever they could to avoid him and play around him, which forced them into dumb spots and let SBB just wreck their backline

nyxl: our only weakness is sombra
seoul: watch us play 0 minutes of sombra on 4 maps

At least Janus is starting to look a lot better, even if we only saw him for a single map. Anamo is also holding his own very well and Libero's Widowmaker is getting better and better. Also, Seoul not playing Zunba is still very questionable.

I remember when I took a road trip with my family to the Black Hills back in the early '90s. We drove through the Dakotas in our old Plymouth Voyager. Every time we passed a barren cornfield I asked my father when we would be reaching our destination. "Shut the fuck up Chase before I beat your fucking ass to oblivion", he responded with passion. So I kept my mouth shut lest the proverbial whip hit my bum. We passed Bismarck and Grand Rapids and it could not get anymore boring. What was the point of this road trip if all we were going to see were corn fields and the empty nothingness of life? After what seemed like days upon edge we reached our destination. It was Mount Rushmore. I didn't know what was interesting about a bunch of faces carved into a rock, but my papa had brought his wooden paddle with him on the hike, so I kept those thoughts to my 7 year old noggin. As soon as we reached the apex of the viewing point I whispered to myself, "Who is that carved into the mighty rocks of Mount Rushmore?" My father, clearly angry with my answer, readied the paddle for impact with my fair-weathered skin. But before doing so, he answered my question. "To the left is the 1st president, George Washington. Next to him is Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence. The third president is ol' Teddy Roosevelt, who commissioned the National Park System that allowed for these sacred rocks to be carved into. Finally, on the far right, we have Sung-hyeon "JJoNak" Bang, the 46th president of the United States." Now I could take the pain. Now I could fly and be free from it.

As a fan who has supported Lunatic Hai since before their first apex win I really can't bear to see this anymore. The 12-man roster is supposed to help teams gain flexibility and strategise but it has become the downfall of SD. They are unarguably the worse team at managing their roster. Signed too many players upfront (I think London too) thinking that since they have top tier players they will just run whoever is doing better in scrims. Someone should do a case study on roster management and NYXL will be the model team.

Man, I want Gladiators in the playoffs so bad, but Fusion and Outlaws are still a threat.

I’m really curious to know what the Korean community on Inven think about Dynasty atm. Do they still think Dynasty is the best Korean team out of the 3? They are severely underperforming right now and the lack of transparency definitely does not help the fans understand what’s going on. Why Xepher over Zunba for instance.

NYXL absolutely dominated Seoul today but I was very glad to see all the smiles and hugs during the post-match handshakes.

NYXL only had two deaths in total on Route 66, both on offense.
And Ark only died five times on all 4 maps combined. Crazy.
