How Seoul Dynasty Used Sombra To Defeat NYXL | Behind The Akshon 

What do you guys think of Baptiste so far in Stage 2 and the overall increase in hero pick diversity?

No one: Sombra: dammit

Ryujehong was actual hiding behind enemy lines and was found by libero on brig and so jumped off.

This is what I like about eSports. Strategy is always affected by the smallest thing possible. The NYXL got butterfly effect'd by a single Sombra. Good Job Seoul. Keep up the good work

Nobody: Akshon: Munchikin

Extremely well edited, paced, and narration. The quality of your channel's content is just exemplary!

12:22 Now watch me whiff, now watch me Nenne

"as anamo holds onto his sound barrier through the grav" Literally cannot press his Q button

Finally, some decent analysis/coverage of this game, subbed

More like: how NYXL failed to kill a Sombra 4 maps in a row

Michelle has got it right. NYXL is a great team, but let's be honest, Jjonak is borderline carry for them. At the very least, he's their best player. You cripple Jjonak and you cripple their team. Imagine how tilted he must have been getting hacked twice when he wanted to use trans, not even EMPed, but hacked. And to be entirely fair, the dominant zenyatta this game was Dynasty's, which I never thought I'd say about Jjonak.

Akshon stepping up in blitz’s place

Overwatch players: "Please OW gods, give us an answer to this scourge that is GOATs!" Overwatch: "...bean here all along!"

Akshon never dies

Absolute most favorite match from Seoul Dynasty, hands DOWN! I was hyped throughout the entire game!

'one can see the discipline: he didn't ult until after the grav' bisch he was hacked and ulted as early as possibly

they strike you for highlights so now you're uploading analysis god bless what a legend

Sombra Mains Unite! Then translocate away!

Sombra says "damn it" when her tp is destroyed/she is discorded/she is hacked, not when revealed

A replay of Lunatic Hai vs LW Blue during Apex. Esca on Sombra + 2 heals. LW Blue didn't know what to do and got destroyed.

One of the best OW content developers! Love the video!

Been waiting for this one. Best esports related Overwatch channel, even though Blizzard doesn't appreciate Akshon, the owl fans do!

I love this video - shows me the utility and good positioning that a good sombra should have!

Great vid, I watched live and was as confusled as anyone when Nenne 'ulted' Michelle at the end. Love the analysis as always. BTW munchkin is pronounced munch-kin, not munch-uh-kin. It is 2 syllables.

Great break down! As a Sombra main since launch it's so nice to no longer get complaints when I use her!

I love this style of video so much more than the interviews, please plwase please do more of these!!!

What an amazing video... I loved it... It was so interesting for noobie like me ^^ Well done ! From France ;)

You make the overwatch league seem like WW2

As an NYXL fan this video hurts but I’m still watching it

Im sure this channel should be more popular this video helped me a lot to get into sombra and play good with her

Amazing video with some beautiful insight into one of the most exciting games so far this year. Keep up the awesome work!!!

I dont watch overwatch, but goddamn your videos just make it so interesting! Keep up the amazing work!

These are both my fav teams so it’s great to watch this in depth.

'They show their trademark efficiency by holding onto his sound barrier' he was hacked he couldn't lmao

I have literally never played overwatch but this was still super interesting

3:55 "They spent 45 seconds doing nothing" - Actually thats 45seconds less on the clock for the Dynasty. I dont think that was a wrong play. otherwise in the next fight they would have lost to EMP anyways and if that happens fast it maybe will take them only 35 seconds if they regroup fast and rush them. In my eyes nyxl made a good decision. But overall a great Video! But let me quote SF Shock's Super on this one. "They chose Sombra because they are inferior with 3-3." I know sombra could be used by both teams but in the 3-3 meta game its like admitting you cant compete with the top teams without her.

Thank you! This is one of the best match analysis and ow content I've ever seen!

at the beggining staying on the attacking side is good by nyxl because jjonak can react on time agaisnt emp, it also stalls the payload as long as possible

this channel is an absolute blessing

Sombra is truly extraordinary, this is why I tell people who I hack, when I emp so they can combo it, so it can do a cleanup. So awesome.

i miss Akshon highlights of the games .. were always on point and released perfectly

Sombra has always been good, glad she's being used more

That was such a great analysis! Thank you.

for info! EMP disables all abilities as well as passives that require the press of a button (e.g wall riding and wall climbing but does not include (for example) sombra's opportunist, or rein's knock-back resistance.) it also disables all shields (the blue part of your health-bar) so zen is reduced to 50hp and zarya to 200hp. it destroys all tank and brig shields to 0hp HOWEVER if the tank/berig drops shield before emp (it is not active, like rein dropping shield - this obviously does not work for winston or orisa as their shields are completely external to their own will aside from placement - (sigma can also recall his shield) then the remaining hp left on the shield stays, the ability to use it is taken away.

Got goosed bump! every single time when i watch these Pro player!

I think that Nenne played an amazing set, although it was risky the grav would’ve won the game for them so it’s 50 50.

The dynasty has to be my favourite team because if they didn't try to counter GOATS the meta would probably be GOATS but just with Reaper and Mei

Whats nice here is seoul took the current meta and made a slight ajustment and came out super strong in the end and i think thats a good thing because one of the things i hate about League fights are the same characters on both teams so you dont have diversity in how the teams fight, its all the same every match. I love the fact that a character who many consider weak or useless makes such an impact in pro-play. Good job Dynasty!

I love how sombra is one of the most usefull heros in the game but she is one of the least picked heros

I love these videos keep doing them

This is a masterful video. Do more of these plz

yes I love these videos! They’re back!

I like when you speed up the gameplay in Rialto it looks like little bugs jumping around and fighting😂

This Is heart wrenching to watch again 😭😭😭😭

great video! music and commentary top notch!

the fact that this video exists makes me think that people still don't know that Sombra is really good

Well done video!!

Glad to see sombra getting some love in league

If u notice on nyxl last attack anamo got killed a split second b4 transcendence was used so maybe if he doesn't die they might have won but it's a big if

Really unique to see how goats variations can adapt and counter one another. Unrelated note, I'm curious to know if any pros are going to try adapting Baptiste into a new goats variant.

It wasn't just Nenne, Anamo gets picked at the break of the fight chasing after RJH and so he cannot trail Jjonak with a beat.

I will never forget that grav.

Sombra Becomes the biggest Target After she EMP's

I fully expected NYXL to lose to any teams in the playoffs, because that is their legacy as LW Blue.

Glad to see one team actually think to counter a group comp.

I saw the title and said out loud “HOLY SHIT”

Take a shot every time he says "EMP"

This is why Dynasty will always be my favorite team.

8:56 hold up "New York Excelsior" is basically "South Korea Excelsior" lol

Yes so more of these videos I really enjoy them

If nenne hits that grav that would be one of the best plays last season

7:54 SISTER SHOOK

Ask hon: Nenne no longer has to be careful with his gravs Nenne:you haven’t seen sh*t I’m the Elon musk of bad ideas

great content & narration

If you are trying to prevent getting EMP'd at the worst time, you must hunt the Sombra. If you assume the Sombra doesn't have full ult charge, but she just barely gets it in time, and you blitz her team, EMP will counter initiate, and you will lose the fight just as bad if not worst, had Sombra initiated. The issue is that there is only one hero who can hunt Sombra, and that's Hanzo, then pairing hanzo with Zen gives a 3 sec discord tag before losing LOS (invisible/behind cover) to compensate for the downtime of Sonic arrow, especially if it doesn't reveal. You might ask, if Sombra is charging ult, then you can see her, so why go through all the work to get detection? Because she gets in safe position to charge ult unless you can make it clear to her that no place is safe, and that she can run but not hide. Also, Hanzo and Zen do not have to use too much resources to keep her revealed, because Sonic arrow has no purpose in revealing the rest of the enemy team (they are not trying to hide), and Zen's discord has no CD, and can easily be applied right back onto the imminent threats. Because if Sombra tries to do dmg while discorded and/or revealed, she will probably die as she peeks cover, or just die in the open because of the dmg amp. If Sombra has to use translocate earlier than she wants, she is spending more time outside of the fight than in it. The only way she can get charge safely in that manner, is to stick next to her teammates, and be protected, but then the element of surprise is gone, and she has shield in the way of her ult charge. However, like most solutions, this would probably just be addressed by switching Sombra out, but because Zen is a key component in the meta, it doesn't affect Zen, only possibly the Hanzo. Hanzo though, has a natural synergy with the pieces of GOATS comp, because Rein and Zarya can set his dragons up, so having a Hanzo in a GOATS variant just to deter Sombra isn't too much to ask for I think. If you want to completely avoid a team more dedicated to Sombra, the quad 4 DPS, (although WB would be afraid of Sombra), they are too spread, and having both a Widow hack and Hanzo sonar arrow, would just be very inconvenient for Sombra, but of course the 4 DPS comp doesn't work if WB is having a bad time, which Sombra will make sure of, so you'd have to run WB with a Zarya so the she can bubble the WB to debuff hacks or at least make sure he can get out. I know Zarya works better in brawly comps, but teams will commit to try to kill a WB, so she will get charge off that, it's the personal bubble that is the question to her gaining charge.

Correct me I’m wrong but didn’t OWL take this guy s channel down or something? His content and analysis is top notch n I actually understood what’s happening...

i find it insane how a single player/charecter can change a whole entire fight/game its crazy

I appreciate the breakdown.

4:33 Jayne had to be told by sometime to rewind and watch the clip of that

dynasty and shock easily had the best new pickups this season by far.

Im not very into OWL but starting to knew few pro players. And seeing this footage, is amazing. Especially how Jjonak always manage to read Sombra's move, dodge it n save his teammate as best as possible. But sadly not enough to carry the game to win. Still, awesome video and match tho.

big brain plays

Did any one else get a full length tekken match ad?(it was a pretty good btw)

Finally, more analysis

i wish my games were this cool and fun

NYXL is probably my fav team ngl.

Zunba was truly underrated

Finally another behind the akshon :D

Chapter 4: what have we learned? To not throw grav

Bruh Jjonak is doing some high IQ tactics

AMAZING VIDEO!!!!

“Nenne no longer has to be carful about his gravs” Nenne are you sure about that?

more video like this plz!!!

What have we learned? Don't f*cking solo ult with a grav

I think the two crucial things for NYXL were that they didn't keep up the pressure when needed to, and the useless Zarya Ult killed them. He got caught with tunnel vision. He shouldn't have used that Ult to get one player. Even if he did catch her, the fray by the payload could've used that ult. Because he didnt they had an easy cleanup.

Hanzo/widowmaker/headcount for sombra...Also count 3 seconds when half fighting and then back up and look for sombra

Honestly Nenne has eyes of a hunter....Really wanted to see them go against Vancouver. Now we all gotta wait hmmmmmmm

I regret getting the dynasty rein skin instead of the Dallas fuel one :(

New York had a bright future, but you know what they say. Apagando Las Luces.

Pro-tip if you listen to the casters and desk analysts pronounce the players' names they usually get it right. Most of the owl staff have ties with the players and team faculties, so they make it their job to get as much right as they can. The only exception I've found is guxue which apparently you need to be a chinese speaker to pronounce.
