Tough game for NOVA, despite the fact that they've improved a lot especially with the addition of Swerl. They played pretty well overall against Trace, especially on Ascent. Gameplans and reads were good throughout the map but I feel like some of the executions of site-holds were lacking (I'm looking at you A). Lots of innovative and good ideas though so I think that's a win overall.

JDG almost beat EDG. They looked really good in comparison to their Kickoff form, and the addition of YHchen has definitely propelled them to a new level. Viva's aim looked crisp as heck, and stew was great as always. I think JDG has started their path to reclaim the reputation RA lost.

As much as I am a NOVA fan, JDG should be favorites with a 2-0 win.

Since its my first time seeing a NOVA fan, can you tell me how do you say the name "o0o0o" out loud? Do you say "o zero o zero o" or what? Thanks

I'm not him, but during the walkout, a woman announce the player nickname as they walked in. The woman pronounced this o0o0o guy as "shao nao?", idk but you can check it yourself on youtube livestream

thats correct, afaik from the casters. To add some context o0o is spelled with letter O number 0 and letter O so it basically just translates to O zero O and "ling" is zero in chinese.

I think it's partially due to teams like NOVA getting better/moving towards their potential and outperforming established cores like the RA/JDG core. Also they might've been underestimating NOVA (which is fair). Who knows though I'm just giving the benefit of the doubt.

Even with yoman this team rn would crumble. Bruh even with yoman this team wasn't that good strategically. Just all players were firing at the time and now other teams are settling properly so have got better than jdg. Jdg still needs more time to settle with yhchen.
