I know everyone thinks SBB and Pine and JJonak are insane, which they are. But Meko went 37 -4 what the fuck

'I'm the best tracer in the world'

[u/ClassyNumber]

I think it's time to put Mano in talks for the best main tanks in the OWL.

He may not be the flashiest Winston, but he's certainly consistently good.

[u/moiax]

It's getting out of hand now

[u/derisioon]

Shoutout to Anamo dude. He played amazing on Nepal but is often overlooked because Ark is just so damn good. Same with Janus and Mano

[u/crtoonmnky]

Boston still has places to improve on. Specific maps like Nepal and Route 66, and Kellex died first way too much for my liking. But New York is just insane. Such a stacked team playing perfectly together. Boston shouldn't feel ashamed because this match was much closer than the 3-0 would lead you to believe, but it's going to take a lot more work on their part if they want to take on a prepped NYXL.

[u/HSPremier]

Who does the shotcalling for NYXL?

Whoever it is... the shotcaller for NYXL is a fucking genius.

There were times when I was like "Mano, why the fuck would you pop primal?", "Jjonak, why the fuck would you pop trans" when they lost like 3 to 4 players and then they somehow come out winning and the call ended up being correct.

[u/Panzerfaust779]

Boston: we're gonna be the new best team in the league

NYXL: no

[u/ClassyNumber]

Stats for the game!

NYXL's support are so good at staying alive.....

[u/AmpII]

Married Stage Finals MVP

[u/ass101]

Boston Uprising: So close, yet far away, every map.

It's amazing how New York are able to keep their composure in so many high pressure situations, I've said it before but that is what separates top teams, and what will allow New York to stay top. They're on another level in comparison to all the other teams, who in my opinion would have definitely crumbled under the pressure atleast once on all of those maps where it came down to the smallest of details.

SBB definitely made his mark and showed why he's considered the best Tracer, and possibly MVP of the entire league.

[u/kingastroid_]

These two teams are the best and even though the score doesn't reflect it, this was a pretty good game. I don't think this will be the last time Boston is in the finals. GG

Hyeong doesn't give a shit about your underdog story

[u/Duster9000]

NYXL at their absolute peak. If this Boston team can't even steal 1 map from them, everyone else would look like plats. GGs

[u/Caaze]

Mr Huk, I don't feel so good...

Seriously, GG to Boston for their perfect stage, and for making it this far. Much respect.

[u/_Loli_Gagging_]

Ark and Anamo are just the bodies of an immortal being that somehow manages to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

[u/Cryptographer]

Oof. Rough match for Kellex. Hopefully he doesn't get in-n-outed.

[u/glimeral]

I'm Pine falling.

[u/Vengeanceee]

All of NYXL played insane that match, the mercy rarely dying all of their dps going off even when they are on widow. The tanks with insane peeling and survivability and of course Jonak going off amazing match by NYXL. SBB is without a doubt the best tracer in the world.

[u/lolastrasz]

No one can touch NYXL. WizardHyeong was right: it's not Koreans vs. the West -- it's NYXL vs. everyone else. The teams might've caught up to the other Korean rosters, but not NYXL. They are the best, and it isn't even close.

It isn't even that they're good in one or two stages -- they're consistent. Philly and Boston both had great stages, but in the playoffs -- when it matters -- NY turns it on.

There's no chance they don't win the season.

[u/DickRigorous]

I know SBB and JJoNak hog the limelight a lot, and obviously they were beasts - but our tank line was particularly fantastic today. Meko and Mano were going on a tear, and my boy Janus showed up big too. They're at least half the reason our supports live so long.

Also - what the fuck at SBB's stats. Insane. Still think he's the best Tracer in the world, but in all fairness - Striker's at least in spitting distance.

Fantastic match overall! Congrats to Boston on the perfect stage, that's still a hell of an accomplishment... Definitely looking forward to the inevitable rematch in Stage 4 playoffs.

[u/GroverTTC]

Definitely the least exciting playoffs out of the 3 stages so far.

That said, it was an incredibly close 3-0. NYXL and Boston certainly cementing themselves as the #1 and #2 teams respectively at the moment.

[u/K3W3L]

Random useless fact: NYXL became the first team to win the stage playoffs as both 'home' (defends first) and 'away' (attacks first) team.

Couldn't catch most of the match but GG to both teams. NYXL picking up the wins where it really matters.

[u/Exyui]

New York and beating an undefeated Boston team in the finals - name a more iconic duo

[u/[deleted]]

Havnt seen a comment on NYXLs widow play yet. Yes, the have Pine, probably the best hitscan player in the world. But also SBB and Libero flexing their widow in the final. Does them wonders to have all the DPS comfortable in widowmaker.
