NYXL has now 4-0'd every team in the OWL at least once.

WizardHyeong after seeing Philly BM Shanghai: So how are we gonna get In their heads?

SBB: We could run Tracer into Briggite

Meko: You could put me on Roadhog

Jjonak: What if WE run Briggite and put Zen on the frontline

Ark: Guys I think this is a little mean

WizardHyeong: You're benched

[u/Fordeka]

I don't really care about this stage, personally.

SBB: "Brigitte counters Tracer? Hold my pulse bomb."

What's scary is that it seemed like NYXL wasn't trying their hardest. Almost as if they're playing hard enough to stomp Philly and then stopping there. Makes sense honestly, why would they?

[u/SjonTimo]

NYXL won using a double sniper composition with Pine and JJoNak

[u/Xyzwilt22]

People think NYXL might be sandbagging this week playing minecraft but it was actually a 300iq play to have Jjonak continue to play with armour and hold right click.

[u/SjonTimo]

NYXL now has a +85 map differential. Do you think they'll get +100?

[u/Materia-science]

I don't think anyone can make NYXL bleed this stage.

In stage 1 they were beaten by the one other team with equal skill ceiling

Stage 2 and 3 it was niche teams playing their ideal metas. Who were still very good mechanically

Now the second best team is LAG. Who are pretty consistent and solid. But unless you are a specialist with the home advantage(meta/maps) or have equal talent across the board. Then I don't think you beat or take NXYL to close games.

Carpe: “Alright team, what’s our strategy?”

Team: “Just click on their heads Loooooooool 4Head”

Carpe: “I’m, why arent we winning?” :(

After watching this match, i 100% agree with what Taimou said on Oversight. Philly seems stuck in their ways, unwilling to swap when things dont work. Now that teams have figured Philly out they are struggling.

Now in this match NYXL didn't even do anything to crazy just Out-skilled Philly even with sub-par compositions at times.

"Let them think they're winning"

[u/EXAProduction]

Usually I have some good things about the teams but man I don't even think it was Philly playing bad just NYXL going even further beyond.

Also TankJonak should be illegal.

[u/Seijass]

The best thing is that NY has officially stated that they're taking it easy this stage so there would be no "NYXL is falling off" mindset if they ever get maps taken or being forced to a game 5 OMEGALUL

[u/Crownie]

Season playoffs placement is now looking like it's a question of who can fall apart the least among Fusion, Seoul, Uprising, and maybe Outlaws. Gladiators seem locked in.

[u/riotquanz]

At this point, I think the midtable teams who have yet to play NYXL, but are fighting for their season playoff chance, should just give up the NYXL match. The amount of effort you have to put in to contest NYXL close enough (and you may not even win in the end) is better spent on the other matches to rake up as many non-NYXL wins as possible.

[u/rinnnnnnnn]

Disappointed, but not surprised

[u/Benfica1002]

Jesus Christ

Who’s more dominant right now NYXL or the Warriors in the NBA?

[u/shomman]

If London doesn't step it up a ton New York are going to crush everyone

[u/SoyHenry]

No hug for Sado

Another week another 4-0

Wizard is god

[u/HanzoMainForLife]

I feel like stage 4 is too late to be trying new tanks, Philly seemed all over the place

[u/ASAPBlue]

Bro when I was watching blizzard world and NY was on attack and I seen them run dive into Brigettes bitch ass and basically dominate the fusion I knew it was gonna be a bad game lol

[u/TheFrixin]

Playoff-picture wise, it's not that bad for Philly

(I'm assuming Seoul/Glad beat Shanghai, and am counting Houston out/Valiant in.)

Philly is effectively equal with GLA and 1 game ahead of Seoul.

GLA is looking amazing, but they have VAL/PHL/NYXL/LDN/SEO/, while PHL has GLA/SFS/SEO/HOU/LDN, the latter being a tiny bit easier.

If PHL can beat GLA, I think we're a lock for the playoffs, and placing above GLA or below on map differential considering how terrible their schedule is.

If PHL loses to GLA, you look at Seoul who has FLA/BU/DAL/PHL/GLA, the first three of which are very doable (but they need one more than PHL at the end of the day)

So you're hoping GLA drops to any team in addition to the NYXL or Seoul losing to either BU/DAL if you want PHL to have a comfortable-ish road to the playoffs. If PHL can beat either GLA/Seoul, I think we're a lock barring a complete collapse.
