New York Excelsior vs. Florida Mayhem - FINAL

Yeah… The hype for the rivalry match is good. But I fear it will be as one sided as the match going on right now.

Hopefully LA Valliant prove me wrong.

Well, it does cost more money, time and resources to set up this level of fanfair. I am sure they could spend it if they want, but perhaps they are holding up for something bigger down the road.

OUCH! That stings…Florida tried to push them back, then one wayward sleep dart and the shoe’s on the other foot…that’s going to sting in the morning…

This match is over, its nearly impossible to get point 3 on Kings Row with minimum time, meaning Florida has no chance to win the round.

ok 3/5 points. NYXL please stomp this team next round

I did see this comming in fact. Never chase that far and especialy never leave your payload when you can push it with 3 people to progress faster.

You see the pros often do this tho and leave only the D.Va on the payload. Swon was just unfortunate to jump into that sleep dart.

Ok…what was the crowd giving the collective thumbs up for?

Agreed, its most of the time better to leave only 1 on the payload when the fight for space is more important. The speed gain by keeping three on the payload is not significant enough versus fighting for prime areas of the map. Florida Mayhem however got too greedy on the streets of King’s Row when they tried to fight a 5v5.

Yupp and I still find this stupid, at least to go THAT deep. And single push the payload is just to slow. Maybe it’s “pro play” but pro’s also think Pharah counters Pharah so I don’t give much about such tactics.

A Pharah dogfight is effective to prevent either Pharah from attacking the other members of the team. Remember with the objective based gameplay of Overwatch, survivablity is more important than simply getting kills.

thought that McMayhems will be able to go further, but this hold
(edit - posted this too fast… here we go) :smiley:
… next game was supposed to start ar 2.15AM (here) it seems that it will start earlier :slight_smile:

You lose again…PAY UP!

The first 3 games clearly agreed to go quickly so that LAG can play with their food without fear of overrunning

I don’t think so. A dead enemy is no threat and binding 2 heroes of each team (Mercy+Pharah) to run endless dogfights instead of focussing the objective is not the best strategy imho. (I play objective oriented tbh).

In Other news, FLorida made it to the 2. point, wow. :sweat_smile:

who decides the team schedules?
NY schedule is just sad, like, just hand them some stat padding.
compare theirs to FL’s, geez… kinda not even worth watching.

tsk tsk, i said no more than 5. They got exactly 5.

Florida’s Rein had no freaking clue what he was doing…

The Overwatch League office does.
