  • The NYXL were the most dominant team in season 1...until it really mattered. In season 2, could they shake the 'choker' perception that had plagued the team since the season 1 playoffs?

    I wanna take some time to clear something up that I got incorrect in this video: Saebyeolbe did not play any OWL matches until stage 3. I'm honestly not sure where I got it in my head that he was first reintroduced in stage 2. I'm sorry for presenting false information and will try my best not to do the same in the future.

I could easily be in OWL if only the scouters for OW teams knew what they were doing. I wouldn’t have whiffed that grav because I know that with my colossal cranium I definitely would have been able to account for the Sombra’s movement distance and I would have hit a direct hit on that Sombra.

      Ambipomber167 for starters you don’t need direct contact to capture a sombra. You need to just hit fairly close to her. Michell luckily went through the second entrance instead of the first entrance and even if Nenne didn’t use grab their push would have been shut down by the EMP. The exact thing he was going to try to shutdown. It was simply a case of bad luck and doing something slightly too soon.

      Honestly idk why people thought they choked in s1. Most players were predicting them to lose and have Philly face valiant in the finals. If it hadn't been for the God damn spitfire going on the most ridiculous run we've ever seen of nowhere. Then LA Valiant would've most likely won s1. Even London didn't expect to win. Story goes they were already packing up the team house when they played the valiant, and only a few days before valiant were literally spawncamping them in scrims. There's been so many what if's with these OWL playoffs its been nuts

    Flow3r didn't stop being a good player. The other players just got better than him. He was one of the first good players, like Miro, but the game was still new and all the other DPS players in the game were still learning and improving and some ended up having a higher peak skill than Flow3r.

    NYXL is my second favorite team... Right after the fuel. I love this team due to it being a New York team and I can agree that they are a team with massive potential and they just need to unlock it. An A isn't that bad.
    The villians of Overwatch league themselves the Vancouver Titans. So dominant and powerful but near the end I think the idea of power went to their heads or got it their heads. This team deserves a solid A for everything hell maybe even an A+. I don't like them... But just like Atlanta and just like Ninja... I respect them.

    Cause the title in my mind is just “50/50”
    First 2 stages, Fuel qualified for playoffs. Problem: Their QTR Finals marches were both against the titans (Which is pretty bad enough)
    Second 2 Stages, I can say I was heavily disappointed with the lack of adaptability (DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEIR DPS COVERED ALL THE HEROES)
    Taimou and AKM: Hitscans
    Effect: (I’m not listing him cause he retired early)
    Zachareee: Projectiles and Tracer
    Flex Support was worrisome with having only Harryhook (Not saying he’s bad, just worrisome due to lack of rest and a sub)
    Tanks were good, no questions (Till second half of course)

    So to me the term "choke" means you were the odds on favorite to win and you either threw the match due to poor decisions or poor planning. In either case, you lose due to your own hubris.
    So in season 2 I would say they are not chokers. They were never really the most dominant and in reality they were trying to keep pace with the Shock and Titans. So in that regard seeing how they played until the bitter end, I would not consider them choking because they did end up losing to the two teams who were considered the best in the league.
