Akshon Esports definitely. Even though they lost to Boston they are good at learning and adapting outside and inside games.

[@whalesoup8914]

Almost certainly. They will probably beat Boston in the playoff match. And there’s no one else that can really contest

[@chadadams1996]

Why would the overwatch league still continue to pronounce it “E Q O” if it wasn’t correct. This was covered back in stage 1.

[@zeleros71324]

Akshon Esports that's because of his accent dude

Chad Adams I remember the casters saying that they asked him how he wanted it pronounced and that he wanted it per letter.

[@chinesesparrows]

Boston Blue has an amazng lineup but what they are doing is a mystery

[@ikbaass362]

Carpe played better than pine but mano hard carried that game

[@yehudiel4588]

for me, the big advantage of NYXL comes from jjonak, he's basically a dps zenyatta, while providing utility and healing and zen hard counters a lot of ults.

[@omegapixelled]

"PINE just has the best mechanical skills in the game, thats it." Flicking, sure. Dafran has him beat (and everyone else in the game) in tracking.

[@rockyto13]

brilliant video, akshon esports again and again with the huge plays (csgo reference), thanks so much for what you guys have been doing for the community since apex season 1.

[@dmar3651]

Actually, the answer is Mano. The casual viewer will be thinking that Pine carried the team hard. But if you look closely, you'll see that it was in fact Mano who enabled Pine to do his job, and allowed the supports to pocket him when needed because Mano himself simply wasn't taking unnecessary damage, WHILE creating space. Mano is, in my honest opinion, the best 9/10 player in the world at his role. What does that mean? It mean's that his Reinhardt/Winston/Orisa are ALL at an equal level and no role is weaker than the other. He is the LEAST flashy main tank in the league....but he is undoubtedly the most reliable when push comes to shove. I'd say he is the 'enabler' tank who puts his team on his shoulders and lifts them up so that they can perform to greatness.

[@dkc48]

I've actually noticed that because NYXL is a lock for the season playoffs, they're actually using Janus for the first two maps against weaker teams to get him up to speed with the rest of the team. They're nowhere near as good and actually lose quite a bit. But after halftime, Mano will come back in, create space, and simply be a better main tank, and that's when the turnarounds happen. With Mano in the lineup, the NYXL are very much the best team in the league. Going back and analyzing the past few games, I even believe that they would've won the Boston game had they had Mano in the entire time. I think they didn't realize that Boston was THAT good and starting off 0-2 in the map differential with Janus in was a huge handicap for them. Mano came in the second half and they had a chance to reverse sweep, but Boston is actually good enough to win the remaining 1 out of 3. If he was in the entire time, I think NYXL rough out a win with 5 actual chances.

[@vulcan1183]

Pine is overrated

[@dmar3651]

@DKC48 you are Dead On. Mano is the tank that NYXL fall back on when their backs are to the wall. Yet you compare him to Janus, and you see that Janus is the aggressive fragger tank. Mano will almost NEVER shine in the spotlight, but he selflessly puts his body on the line to ensure that players like SBB, Pine, Libero, Jjonak and even Meko at times, all shine bright.

[@dmar3651]

@Hades Kray, I don't think he is overrated. However he is Risky as all hell

[@babysealclub11]

Agree... Once again the DPS shine and the tanks get tossed aside like they don't do shit. Personally I think tank and healer are the most difficult roles to play. They may not be super technical but the decision making is more high IQ in working as a team. Its a team game after all.

This is just a silly speculation. But whenever a team calls a pause against fusion. Fusion literally just falls apart afterwards.

[@tenzindhondupmn]

What is a pause? Like how do u pause during mid game

Exactly. Pine did amazing because of the support from Anamo and the follow ups from SBB while the tanks made sure to peel. Team game no matter what.

[@goalhornfanatic9449]

NY Excelsior are the only Team out of the 3 original Juggernauts that are still standing strong and holding their Juggernaut title. Seoul and London are collapsing and the Middle teams are taking the reins. I'd say that the new 3 Juggernaut rankings are: 1. NYXL 2. Boston Uprising 3. LA Valiant/Philly Fusion. I love the Glads, but I think they need to be just a bit more consistent to be considered for a Juggernaut position.

a historic series

[@jaelee2452]

It wasn’t the “wrong dive” philly chose. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to dive widow in this scenario. What should the tanks do, wait to counterdive or go for a target? They can’t dive widow bc in this map in particular, the map geometry is on widows side. It’s litterslly a death trap. You dive widow, she will hook away, and Winston loses his leap cool down. This results in both tanks doing deep dives for death. you would have been correct if this was dive meta but it honestly isn’t. They know very well on how to counter each other, and deep diving would result in death. Zen was the right dive, not enough follow up on the Zenyatta.
