this whole series will be difined on A. how much Pine will play B. How well he can play and C. How the Valiant prepare/adjust to his play. Pine doesn't have a very large hero pool, as I've only seen him play Mcree and Widowmaker, look for the Valiant run a constant Genji on him or just focus him altogether

Could we see Grimreality this game? His McCree is stellar

Match of the week, and I actually think LAV has the edge, strictly based on map pool, though I believe NYXL has a better team

VAL 3-2 NYXL

I like that prediction sir, let it happen universe.

I think New York Xtra Large will win Oasis, because Pine, and the Valiant will win Numbani...I feel like the other maps are a toss up. This really could go either way. New York has very good supports, and Valiant has very good tanks. They both have very good DPS. This is going to be a good game. VAL 3-2 NYE.

All of the match ups today are so interesting, especially this one! I think this will most likely be the battle for the 3rd best team in the league. I think current patch slightly favors LA Valiant since KariV is so good on Mercy.
But like most people said, I think this match will be very close, 3-2 either way.

But is his McCree as good as Pine's? Pine really surprised me a lot last week. I knew he was amazing on Widow, but I didn't know he was also god on McCree.

He also plays great Pharah and Genji. But yeah, I am not sure whether he can play it as well as he did on Widow and McCree.

Hard to predict this one. Loving how well the NYXL are playing right now and the thought that they aren't full strength yet is scary. But the LAV don't have any noticeable holes in their lineup either, especially with how well silkthread has been playing.

3-2 NYXL.

Another crazy match as day 2 this week is fully stacked. Come right out to say that I think LAV win 3-2. I say this with a total lack of confidence in my prediction given how strong both teams have looked but I feel like LAV seem to have better team play at the moment.

Honestly though this could go either way and as long as it's not a blowout I'd be happy with any result.

I would like to see LA V 3-2 0r 2-1 win, judging by how these teams have been playing it looks a close game

6 koreans vs 3 koreans do the math D:
1 korean isn't actually enough to carry as we saw from dallas

I know it’s not as good as pine’s, but it may be enough to win a few duels, and that could turn the tide

SoOn is a transKorean and Unkoe too....plus Silkhas asian origins...so he make 1/2 and we are 6 vs 5 1/2

Explodey [#15]

He also plays great Pharah and Genji. But yeah, I am not sure whether he can play it as well as he did on Widow and McCree.

I wouldn't call either of those two heroes great, or at least not OWL level of great, so I can see why they'd want to keep him to maps where he is likely to be able to run his strongest heroes.

dis gun b good

Meko clutch

LA Valiant 2nd point defense on Horizon was textbook.

LAV go 2-0 down and Pine will likely sub in, eek.

LAV looked great shuting down any play on second point defence to a pretty weak attack on 1st, don't know why LAV didn't switch it up to Rein and Zarya, there tanks looked like they were getting shredded by hog and orisa

Starting to fear there will be no upsets against any of the 3 Korean giants... oh well

VAL do not kno da wae to beat koreans

nyxl is one of the strongest teams on control

XL anti dive too disiplined to allow Val to create any space for a decent dive.

Ummmm. Did I load the page wrong? It says that VAL won two out of three of the Oasis rounds, but NYXL won the map?

You are right, round 3 should be the other way around.

onli dem koriyans kno da wae, bruddah

Valiant seemed off. I don’t even think they played that bad. Their Junkertwon attack was... weird. I don’t understand why they used silkthread rather than Agilities. I mean, agilities has the better genji right? His Dragonblades can totally turn the fight. Fate also got picked way too much. I fell asleep before the third map, but I’m going to say Valiant just had a bad day. Hopefully they can change it up before the game against Spitfire

Valiant looked better on Oasis but only just. Korean teams are legit looking to be on a different tier.
