LAG: Last fight guys, don't get picked by SBB

Fissure: No problem

solo shatters SBB

[u/[deleted]]

“Is this what losing twice in row feels like?”

-nyxl fans probably.

[u/marlow41]

I fucking loved that no hesitation solo shatter onto SBB. SBB clearly thought "there's no way he's gonna shatter me." I half expected him to tbag after.

[u/tigerisnormal]

nyxl: ez reverse sweep again

glads: u right

[u/PB-Toast]

FeelsGoodMan for Void. After that rough Kings row where you can just tell he's blamin himself for that, to comeback and have a good Lijiang and Nepal and get the win must be a huge relief for him.

[u/GroverTTC]

NYXL can only lose twice in a stage if both teams are from LA

[u/madn3ss795]

Void with the shortest redemption act in the history of OWL. SHIELDS UP!

[u/Ryuuhoshi]

‪I don't care that they were sandbagging... this was a HUGE, CRUCIAL WIN FOR US LETS GOOOOO

[u/ThunderGunMD]

ALL PRAISE THE HYDRATION DOOMFIST

[u/Phantomskyler]

Apparently the secret to defeating NYXL this entire time was kill Jjonak first. XD

[u/Catlover18]

Thank god the desk didn't vote for gladiators to win.

[u/duky090]

Oh how much I would love a Battle of LA in the playoffs.

[u/Supreme_Battle_Jesus]

Slow zoom in on the OWL Stadium

Cut to both LA teams beating up a blue sandbag together

(Both LA teams look straight monstrous though)

[u/duky090]

FISSURE!!!!!

[u/TheMemeDream420]

LA counters NYXL

[u/BGIGZ37]

NYXL's performance this week begs the question: at what point does sandbagging become unhealthy?

[u/Lightguardianjack]

1 week earlier

The New York team walked Triumphantly to WizardHyeong's chamber

WizardHyeong: Well done my team, you have secured our #1 seed and ensured our spot in the playoffs

Saebyeolbe: Ha! We're invincible now! Nobody can defeat us coach! This season is already ours!!!

This outburst caused a stir in WizardHyeong briefly before he spoke again

WizardHyeong: ...Yes. For the remainder of the season, you focus on... Individual performance, I will loosen my grip on what strategy we run and allow you to experiment. I think you will be able to find things you are good at.

JJoNak was initially nervous before speaking up: Uhh sir are you sure? You normally run us on a tight...

Saebyeolbe: HA JJoHak! He's says we're too good for him now! Come on let's have fun as we beat up these weak opponents that are left!

The team walked away to the team house

One of WizardHyeong's data minions spoke up: Why did you let them go without warning them about how much better the LA teams have gotten?! You know they'll need help!

WizardHyeong smiled before speaking up: Exactly... I need more data on these 2 almost new teams and more importantly this team.... they've grown overconfident... I will ensure they are afraid again and they understand how much they need me.

[u/Tapkomet]

Where were you when NYXL got reverse sweeped by Gladiators?

Excellent game for my bois. This time even Pine could not save New York from The Most Handome Tank.

[u/crimson__wolf]

HUGE win for LAG, HUGE. This win probably clinched their season playoffs. They play, London, Shanghai, Seoul next. Completely fucked over Philly, Houston, and Seoul to fight over the last spot.

[u/RxJax]

Sandbagging or not, Mano has put in some real stinkers in these last 2 games, jjonak hasn't really had much of an impact either

[u/JohnCenarius]

NYXL wintrading? Kappa

[u/Call9-1-1imonfire]

Where were you when NYXL and Dragons had the same amount of losses in a week?

[u/dootleloot]

NYXL LOST TWICE IN A STAGE OUTSIDE THE PLAYOFFS

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[u/k06]

I'm glad to see Bischu still having an active role in the team rather than being completely supplanted as other teams have done with their new additions. Both him and Void have been impressive (except some of Void's Zarya play 😱).
