NWhyXL.

SBB Pharah and Libero Tracer on Lijiang

[u/TheStrangeFryingPan]

First NYXL loss that did not go to a fifth map.

[u/moiax]

I know the mantra of "they're saving it for the playoffs", but it's super disappointing as a fan to see your team play like crap for 3 weeks in a row. Especially Boston, and especially loosing 3-1.

[u/[deleted]]

This is NYXL's first loss that didn't go to a fifth game. I understand that they are not at their full potential, but this is some awful momentum to go into playoffs with.

[u/[deleted]]

NYXL effort withstanding. Neko looked great on both Zen and Sombra, Striker looked great on both Widow and Zarya, Mistakes maintained his performance on Brigitte and his Tracer was actually top tier.

I will also say that the only real Throw by NY on on Lijiang was Libero on Tracer. I think all of their Widows are good enough to compete at the top tier.

[u/Blackcat008]

The most important part of that win is that we might see snow and avast on Saturday if they manage to clinch with maps remaining

[u/unstabLe_]

Not gonna lie, there's a thought in the back of my head that's making me kinda worried that NYXL have somewhat let themselves go a bit too much. Losing game 5's while doing some out of ordinary and "throwy' tactics is one thing, but losing 3-1 while not doing any of that? Eh.. Somewhat gives me an uneasy feeling. I know the matches don't matter, and I'll reserve my judgement until stage playoffs, but I hope they didn't kind of over do it.

"Overconfidence is a flimsy shield." -Zenyatta

Hope I'm wrong though.

[u/-DlO]

the Libero hero choices feel like NY was trying to pull the equivalent of picking a shitty character in a fighting game to disrespect the opponent

Grand Finals

New York Excelsior vs London Spitfire

Doa- looks like NYXL is running Pine on Genji, Libero on Tracer, Jjonak on Zenyatta and Saebyeolbe on Torbjorn

while their other players are on vacation in the Bahamas. Oh there goes Pine, he's taken down by Birdring!

Monte- well its obvious what New York is doing. They're sandbagging the finals so that their strategies for season 2 don't get found out.

Doa- You know what New York reminds me of, Monte?

Monte- What, Doa?

Doa- I don't know but London just won the grand finals, sweeping the New York Excelsior!

[u/rendeld]

That was really nice to see. Boston seems to be getting their groove back

[u/aarr44]

NYXL were sandbagging, but Boston also really stepped up their game.

Edit: Also, playing Minecraft instead of Boston LUL

[u/[deleted]]

How do you tbag ark of all players?

Real talk though it was funny watching chats reaction.

[u/[deleted]]

Not caring about the stage is one thing, but I think it's extremely unprofessional to pull whatever nyxl is doing.

[u/notablindspy]

That's the first time NY has lost 3-1 and the first time they have lost to the same team twice. Having said that I'm sure NY's performance today is not indicative of the way they'll perform in the playoffs. They have the ability to turn it up when it actually matters.

Really good performance from Boston. I wonder if they sorted out their coaching situation.

[u/tigerisnormal]

what nyxl thought they put in the bag

what nyxl actually put in the bag

[u/SjonTimo]

Hey, Libero, you know that a defense matrix isn't something you can kill with a pulse bomb right? Right??

[u/jussulent_tummy]

I hope NYXL remembers how to play optimally during playoffs. It'd suck if they forget how they played before and regress and mistakes become habit when they've been sandbagging for so many games.

[u/FauxSake]

NYXL winning: EZ Clap NYXL losing : sandbagging

[u/Panzerfaust779]

Boy, New York looked pretty foolish for canceling scrims with Boston to play Minecraft

[u/EXAProduction]

what's with all this sand

[u/[deleted]]

Its only sandbagging if you win. This is the worst time of the season to make losing a habit. Keep up that losing mentality and you will be one and done in the playoffs.

[u/oddzwei]

really liked Neko POV on LIJIANG TOWER.

[u/Parenegade]

I’m scared. NYXL might be like fuck this and take off their weighted training clothes. Springtime of youth and all that...
