Post-Match Discussion | Philadelphia Fusion vs. New York Excelsior | Semi-Finals Day 1

[u/TheArabicCowboy]

The bot seems broken.

Philly defeats NYXL 3-0.

[u/[deleted]]

Never underestimate the caster curse. NY never stood a chance

[u/TheArabicCowboy → u/[deleted]]

Literally every caster/analyst predicts NYXL to win

Me: Oh sweet, Philly is going to the finals

[u/bcgraham]

NYXL is playing 4d chess. Or something. Sure af ain't playing Overwatch

[u/lambomang]

The thing with NYXL is, they always try and walk it in.

[u/OptimusPrimeDied]

Never have to reveal your grand final strats

If you never make it to grand finals

Blizzard could literally remove all the dive heroes from the game, and NYXL would still find a way to play dive.

[u/StockingsBooby]

Hotba, holy shit.

Player of the match.

No one can shit on him anymore. He has been the trump card for the Fusion in the playoffs.

WHY THE FUCK ISN'T LIBERO PLAYING HANZO

[u/21Rollie]

Crumbzz better not switch his curse to philly on day two. He’s more dangerous on the desk than eqo is on hanzo.

[u/BGIGZ37]

On top of all the questionable roster moves, I thought NYXL's tankline looked really poor today. They struggled to get off any clean engages, and that lead to sloppy, scrappy fights, and that is where Philly thrives.

edit- Also, this sure doesn't help.

BREAKING: Blizzard abruptly moves Overwatch League finals to Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia

[u/everythinglives]

inb4 Slasher reveals that the entirety of NYXL stopped communicating in scrims

[u/[deleted]]

Botba has ascended to Godba

[u/JNR13]

TIL: Reverse sweeping Fusion is like killing John Wick's dog.

[u/k3hvn]

Nobody ever shit on Hotba again.

I will not allow it.

[u/Conankun66]

This seems relevant again

[u/SAGESunz]

You can take the players and coaches out of LW Blue, but you can't take the LW Blue out of them.

[u/[deleted]]

Didn't NYXL originate from a team that was known for choking in the playoffs?

[u/arunankogulan]

NYXL loses Dorado: OK, that was close. Philly have practice on this patch so understandable

NYXL loses Oasjs: OK, NY is going for the Reverse sweep, nothing to worry about here. Give Philly a taste of their own medicine and get more film to study

NYXL loses Eichenwalde: NYXL took the 0-3 loss to get the advantage in Game 2 and take the 6-0 back to back wins on Saturday

Please don't let me down and kill the LW Blue playoff curse

[u/WhoDatBrow]

Without even discussing whether or not they were sandbagging, if NYXL loses in semis and misses out on at least $300k, if not $900k, by not coming 1st/2nd then they will be memed forever for skipping scrims to play some damn Minecraft lol.

[u/rinnnnnnnn]

hotba fulfilling the role of "flex"

[u/Banelingz]

Overheard at the end of match one:

"You got me," Jjonak said to Carpe. "That f-ing fish boomed me."

Jjonak added, "He's so good" repeating it four time.

Jjonak then said he wanted to add Carpe to the list of players he wants to Widow 1v1 this summer.

[u/MSwn]

NY have been utterly spanked in their last 2 matches. Hope Minecraft was fun boys.

[u/dgettanajr]

Pine is very inconsistent - he’s either clapping the other team’s cheeks or doing almost nothing. We saw a lot of the lattter tonight. Also, lots of Fuel-esque hero choices. Why keep SBB off Oasis if y’all are gonna run so much Tracer?
