Not surprising he modeled himself after Ryu. Ryu is the legit god of Anna and wrote the blueprint on Zen. Jjonak just took the Zen play to the next level imo. Or maybe his Zen play just fits so well on NY. All I know is I LOVE watching both of these 2 powerhouses play Zen.
Sucks that RJH is on the decline. It is surprising that RJH is still performing at this level (Arguably the best support) when he is closer to 30 than 20. I think RJH's Zen is a better team Zen than JJonak because his Ult is off at times...but Jonnak kills so many damn players that it more than makes up for it. Jonnak is only gonna get better and he is young. Easily no1 and no2 Zen IMO no matter who is no1. JJona is The Heir Apparent I love Tobi who is the best Lucio player...but seeing JJonak and RJH in the OW World Cup will be fun to watch. If people vote them in...that is
Everyone goes on and on about Pine and Sae, and I'm hear screaming my lungs out over a Zenyatta dealing just as much if not more damage that the other teams supports combined
Kid Coheed jjonak really is the best zenyatta but that number kinda doesn’t matter against other zenyatta players since jjonak would get mercy dmg boost pocket a lot while others didn’t but obviously shows he’s the best since what other team would boost a zenyatta to do so much carrying.
Moving to new York this year. Studied up on the team I would be following. Got really into jjonak. And now I have to say. It was a great life decision to want to follow jjonak.
I love how when these videos first started being made there were a lot of complaints about the lack of american players for the New York team and seeing the comments turn from things like “more like Seoul Excelsior” to more positive things. You guys at NYXL have really won over the support of the New York fans. Amazing job
John Seidle I don’t really see that as an insult saying Seoul Excelsior because well.... it’s true. They are all Korean, in a team playing for New York.
어머니가 그냥 오만원을 줘서 오버워치 사서 시작했대ㅋㅋㄲㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아 다른 선수들건 뭔가 몰랐던 과거, 힘들었던 얘기를 들을 수 있어서 좋았다면 쪼낙은 걍 너무 현실 급식루트라 웃기자너ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그래두 좋다^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 우리도 우승컵 함 들어보자!^^!^^!
It's such a coincidence that both Ryujehong and Jjonak became my inspirations, seeing that Jjonak admires Ryujehong! They have been my absolute favorites, I love those two very much. I hope you win your next games, fighting! 💪🦑💗💗💗
Such insane talent. Playing for NYXL when he had no previous LAN experience shows the trust his coach and team had in him. And he returned the favor by giving us amazing performances in every match.
in behalf of all koreans its rare for such understanding parents, his voice is so soft i wanna cry hope you get on beyter terms with your sister. 화이팅!!!
This video is officially a year old and you're doing great!! Keep going and we will support you through no matter what!! You're an amazing person Jjonak, with some really skill and talent. Keep doing what your doing!!
I nearly cried watching this tbh. I have been a fan of JJoNak and NYXL among several other teams ever since i started watching OWL. Seeing the amount of skill in his play is incredible but this video sealed the deal on JJonak overall. He truly leaves it all out there in the video, and i can feel how real the feelings are when he talks about his life in such a humbling way, acknowledging his family and friends like that with respect. It really didnt occur to me that each of these players are just as real as i was until now, and it makes me feel that much prouder that my friends compare me to him. Thank you for being you, NYXL. We love you
I was waiting for this and now its out Im extremely happy. Thank you so much for the amazing videos, and thank you JJoNaK for the Zen play. I aspire to be like you and carried myself from plat to masters playing Zen. I appreciate you very much!
Jehong was originally a Zen main before Ana was released, so I'm guessing that's where Jjonak gets his inspiration from. The fact that they both now play Zen/Ana as their main roles is definitely more than just coincidence.
Finally the Jjonak video!! Jjonak you are so sweet and humble. You inspire me like RyuJehong inspired you. 미안해, 나는 한국어를 말하기에 나쁜. 그런데, 나 좋아해! Also I love the story behind your gamertag! 낙지! It's cute, like you. 화이팅!
Jjonak you are the best. Your zen play inspired me greatly and allowed me to improve greatly and you joining the owl was a great dessision for everyone can't wait to see your next match
U are a fantastic player, Jjonak - I am a fan of the Seoul Dynasty, but u make it hard to not love the NYXL as well 😂 Thank u for all of the entertainment u provide! -Love from Norway
I love the NYXL, as I am from New York myself, but I want the team to know that there is more to New York than just the city, Upstate New York is very beautiful and full of nature.
His mother seems so supportive and amazing. Reminds me of my mother when I was in high school. I spent all my time in internet cafes so finally she bought me my own computer so I would spend time at home instead. :D
There's not a player that I admire as much as Soon, except for Jjonak. Watching him play has made me change the way I play Zen. He's my inspiration every time I play him. I try to damage as much as I can and I've been improving! I love LA Valiant but I have a lot of respect for NYXL and Jjonak!
When the league started i wanted to find one team to support and i ended up choosing for nyxl because saebyeolbe played on this team (he is my favorite player). Then pine came out making the crowd go wild and getting so much attention. Later i found out flower is in the roster aswell. But then jjonak made a name for himself. I have to say, he is one of the few players that actually surprised me with how good they are. A zen player making big plays and making the crowd go wild. This is my favorite team by far
this wasnt even sad but almost shed a tear. him talkin about RJH, also my idol/fav player, and him talkin about Gido winning finals mvp & cryin after winning the finals holdin the trophy, really got to me, since apex s3 finals has been the pinnacle of OW for me personally. just seeing the crazy outdoor stage outside the Lotte World Tower (i think?) & seeing the trio cast with: papasmithy, wolf, & achilios was amazing. went all the way to a game 7. the incredible kongdoo panthera dps duo vs the strong lunatic-core. best OW/most hyped match ive seen. and that korean OGN production too. the inaugural OWL is amazing & i have high hopes, but its such a rollercoaster. weird format, top-heavy standings, Runaway not gettin team spot, poor dragons/mayhem etc. enough rant, keep rockin NYXL! love the players/team/jerseys/colors/skins
Man I really like Jjonak he is very good player and also a good person I hope all the best for him and I hope one day you will make your dreams come true like Gido did
Did anybody else cry when Jjonak talked about his mom and dad, and Ryujehong (Jehong Ryu) and Gido? I cried so hard. He reminds me of my own brother, who isn’t good at studying but can play games like a madman.
JJonak is so humble and respectable now that I find it so hard to believe that he was naughty at school and I thought he was the type of person to get really good grades.
This is a really cool video, really well made! My favorite team is Seoul Dynasty and NYXL are a rival team considering that, but this video series is the coolest media any of the OWL teams have put out so far!
As soon as he said his name was basically "fumbling octopus" I wondered if buying a Saebyeolbe jersey was the best choice lol. This boy is the CUTEST, protect him!!!
How many traditional “study-hard” parents just got pissed after their kid showed them this? Idk, but I would consider jjonak to a quite successful person who didnt treat good grades as a “must have”.
JJonak inspired me to play zenyatta. Before i knew who he was, i had 0 time on zenyatta but then i wanted to play zen because of JJonak and i became better and better and now i have played zen over 12 hours.
OWL is his first pro experience and he is already one of if not the best and is as humble as he is especially about his icon? Cant get much more godly than that 😰
I feel a deep connection to jjonak. It’s like looking at my self in the mirror. You guys can hate all you want but his story is REALLY REALLY similar to mine
I love how these videos really nail down what a bunch of misfits these guys are. They're not pretending to be big badass sports stars they're just a bunch of loosers that are actually incapable of loosing. I love them.
Best player in the Overwatch League, yet humble enough to acknowledge Jehong Ryu as his inspiration. How can you not like JJonak?
Not surprising he modeled himself after Ryu. Ryu is the legit god of Anna and wrote the blueprint on Zen. Jjonak just took the Zen play to the next level imo. Or maybe his Zen play just fits so well on NY. All I know is I LOVE watching both of these 2 powerhouses play Zen.
OneHP, Agreed.
they've duo queued together recently pretty good vids on both their channels
Sucks that RJH is on the decline. It is surprising that RJH is still performing at this level (Arguably the best support) when he is closer to 30 than 20.
I think RJH's Zen is a better team Zen than JJonak because his Ult is off at times...but Jonnak kills so many damn players that it more than makes up for it. Jonnak is only gonna get better and he is young. Easily no1 and no2 Zen IMO no matter who is no1.
JJona is The Heir Apparent
I love Tobi who is the best Lucio player...but seeing JJonak and RJH in the OW World Cup will be fun to watch. If people vote them in...that is
You are so true my dude
He named himself after a fumbling octopus. I love all of NYXL but Jonak just became my favorite
i prefer pine cuz his old nickname was chicken. i mean the only other alt id to top it is gamblers. I MEAN VEGE1ABLE
Alpha Crash X 8
Everyone goes on and on about Pine and Sae, and I'm hear screaming my lungs out over a Zenyatta dealing just as much if not more damage that the other teams supports combined
Kid Coheed i disagree jjonak is getting hyped up just as much as those two
Kid Coheed jjonak really is the best zenyatta but that number kinda doesn’t matter against other zenyatta players since jjonak would get mercy dmg boost pocket a lot while others didn’t but obviously shows he’s the best since what other team would boost a zenyatta to do so much carrying.
he's getting more damage than his dps without a mercy as well.
Kid Coheed Jjonak is the center of NYXL strategy
Jjonak is most definitely getting as much if not more attention than Pine and Saebyeolbe.
He has such a nice, calm voice
Yea
kiwi He’s just not screaming atm but yeah haha
kiwi yes i really like him
He is Korean!
I love watching Jjonak, I love these spotlights too. These guys really give it their all on stage.
Moving to new York this year. Studied up on the team I would be following. Got really into jjonak. And now I have to say. It was a great life decision to want to follow jjonak.
ineed moremilk u take this to serious
You take this waaaay too serious
Praise be to our lord and savior jjonak.
Now, I will BECOME jjonak
damn dude is his zen that inspiring
Can't believe Jjonak is a 1st year pro gamer!! The dude is killing it
joeman 1
I love how when these videos first started being made there were a lot of complaints about the lack of american players for the New York team and seeing the comments turn from things like “more like Seoul Excelsior” to more positive things. You guys at NYXL have really won over the support of the New York fans. Amazing job
Because unlike a lot of NY sports teams who will not be named, they know how to win and destroy the competition!
John Seidle the best way to get fans is by winning and getting to know players better and they have done bouth
Aaponton indeed they have
John Seidle I don’t really see that as an insult saying Seoul Excelsior because well.... it’s true. They are all Korean, in a team playing for New York.
Perzonic Fly generally calling someone or something by a name that isn’t theirs is insulting
Man it's insane that he is this good as a rookie pro. He played like a freaking veteran as zenyatta. He's amazing man
어머니가 그냥 오만원을 줘서 오버워치 사서 시작했대ㅋㅋㄲㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아 다른 선수들건 뭔가 몰랐던 과거, 힘들었던 얘기를 들을 수 있어서 좋았다면 쪼낙은 걍 너무 현실 급식루트라 웃기자너ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그래두 좋다^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 우리도 우승컵 함 들어보자!^^!^^!

he is such a good person. I take inspiration from everything he does, love you jjonak
jjonak's turn! his glasses are iconic. NYXL house tour please
instead of Nauty boy, "Trouble Maker" is a better translation for "mal sung jang ie"
Mike Seo PC Bangㅋㅋ
His mother must be so proud !!! She's so kind and understanding. We love you jjonak! Win it all
JJONAK IS THE BEST I LOVE HIS ZEN AND ANA
He Who Must Not Be Named

I bet his mom's glad she gave him that pocket money. ;D
What a monster - the one true god jehong inspires such
JJonak brings chills to my spine and tears to my eyes, beautiful video
이때 뉴욕이 너무 그립다
이때의 나도 그립고...
다들 게임에 진심이었던 시기였지 ㅋㅋ..
It's such a coincidence that both Ryujehong and Jjonak became my inspirations, seeing that Jjonak admires Ryujehong! They have been my absolute favorites, I love those two very much. I hope you win your next games, fighting! 💪🦑💗💗💗
His mom is so wholesome, giving him mystery money the exact price of overwatch
Such insane talent. Playing for NYXL when he had no previous LAN experience shows the trust his coach and team had in him. And he returned the favor by giving us amazing performances in every match.
This is so precious! His parents sound really sweet!
0:28 Support for nyxl? It’s more like dps
More like Sniper.
He is killing the enemy not to kill them but to charge up his trans faster. It's next level.
amsd1231 thats some 200IQ strats
A top tier support does not merely heal. Instead they eliminate sources of damage
flex xD
keep going Jonak, love your play style
in behalf of all koreans its rare for such understanding parents, his voice is so soft i wanna cry hope you get on beyter terms with your sister. 화이팅!!!
조문락씨 화이팅
This video is officially a year old and you're doing great!! Keep going and we will support you through no matter what!!

cheer for JJONAK :3
JJonak snacc
Seriously he is so inspirational
I was waiting for this and now its out Im extremely happy. Thank you so much for the amazing videos, and thank you JJoNaK for the Zen play. I aspire to be like you and carried myself from plat to masters playing Zen. I appreciate you very much!
Recognizing ryujehong wen he (jjonak) is one of the best zenyatta in the league
Poggers
Even as a person who still thinks Jehong is the best support player, Jjonak is easily the best Zenyatta in the world, hands down.
Jehong was originally a Zen main before Ana was released, so I'm guessing that's where Jjonak gets his inspiration from.
The fact that they both now play Zen/Ana as their main roles is definitely more than just coincidence.
"Poggers" WeirdChamp
厄介なYakkaina This was from 8 months ago, even xQc was still saying poggers back then.
How can you not love JJonak
I’m a San Francisco Shock fan, but oh my, it brings me real joy to watch Jonak do what he does best on Zenyatta! A true inspiration for myself!
처음보는 차분한 그의 모습... 줬나 멋있다,...
Finally the Jjonak video!! Jjonak you are so sweet and humble. You inspire me like RyuJehong inspired you. 미안해, 나는 한국어를 말하기에 나쁜. 그런데, 나 좋아해! Also I love the story behind your gamertag! 낙지! It's cute, like you. 화이팅!
Jjonak you are the best. Your zen play inspired me greatly and allowed me to improve greatly and you joining the owl was a great dessision for everyone can't wait to see your next match
You gotta love this dude.. he is so awesome! Great person. Much love from germany!
He’s so precious💖
This is so adorable! I believe in you and I Love you Jjonak!
JJoNak is my favorite NYXL player. I learned a lot from him. I tried to copy his play and it helped me a lot! Go JJoNak and NYXL
God damn his story is tide up with everything, Mind blowing
U are a fantastic player, Jjonak - I am a fan of the Seoul Dynasty, but u make it hard to not love the NYXL as well 😂
Thank u for all of the entertainment u provide!
-Love from Norway
I love the NYXL, as I am from New York myself, but I want the team to know that there is more to New York than just the city, Upstate New York is very beautiful and full of nature.
I just wanna give him a hug
결국 류빡이ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
You are AMAZING Brother!!! NYXL is my team because of you!
His mother seems so supportive and amazing. Reminds me of my mother when I was in high school. I spent all my time in internet cafes so finally she bought me my own computer so I would spend time at home instead. :D
There's not a player that I admire as much as Soon, except for Jjonak. Watching him play has made me change the way I play Zen. He's my inspiration every time I play him. I try to damage as much as I can and I've been improving! I love LA Valiant but I have a lot of respect for NYXL and Jjonak!
jjonak you guys make us happy no matter the result i love all of you guys
So proud of the NYXL boys! They are so lucky to have jjonak backing them up! 💖 best team in the league
i find these vids so inspirational
Same im just learning Zen and this guy is amazing
One of the best examples for people making their dreams becoming true! dude i like all of the NYXL boys so much! hope they will stay n1 in OWL :)
arguably the best player to ever touch the game
When the league started i wanted to find one team to support and i ended up choosing for nyxl because saebyeolbe played on this team (he is my favorite player). Then pine came out making the crowd go wild and getting so much attention. Later i found out flower is in the roster aswell. But then jjonak made a name for himself.

Been waiting for this one! My favorite player in the league!
Man I really like Jjonak he is very good player and also a good person I hope all the best for him and I hope one day you will make your dreams come true like Gido did
Did anybody else cry when Jjonak talked about his mom and dad, and Ryujehong (Jehong Ryu) and Gido? I cried so hard. He reminds me of my own brother, who isn’t good at studying but can play games like a madman.

You can't get any better (Your the best)
You can't make us fans happier (We're the happiest)
JJonak is so humble and respectable now that I find it so hard to believe that he was naughty at school and I thought he was the type of person to get really good grades.
Don't worry Jonak can just charge an alternative fire and get her sister, then we'll see the real argument winner
Love the origin series, I'm huge fans of both NYXL and SD. Such a humble team and players! (I started to enjoy playing ana because of jehong ^^)
Never played a pro game before, first game is for one of the best teams in the world in the highest esports league. Legend.
SO WHOLESOME. We need to protect Jjonak!
i can't wait for nyxl vs seoul next week. i love both jehong and jjonak
So this is how the No.1 Zen God became to be, and I absolutely love these backstories.🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯👌👌👌
This is a really cool video, really well made! My favorite team is Seoul Dynasty and NYXL are a rival team considering that, but this video series is the coolest media any of the OWL teams have put out so far!
I just love this intro. It gives so nice Vibes!!!!
And legendary zen player was born
As soon as he said his name was basically "fumbling octopus" I wondered if buying a Saebyeolbe jersey was the best choice lol. This boy is the CUTEST, protect him!!!
Its not so much that he needs protecting. More so that the rest of the DPS in OWL needs protecting from him!
Insane how NY EXCL gave him the chance to fulfill his dream i think they are very good as a company/ team for players like JJonak with that potential.
영어로 인터뷰안해서 다행
I love the music in these videos
How many traditional “study-hard” parents just got pissed after their kid showed them this? Idk, but I would consider jjonak to a quite successful person who didnt treat good grades as a “must have”.
Very many TH-camrs bombed school but still make success here
As a zenyatta main, jjonak is my hero.
Honestly my favorite DPS in the league.
Aww, that was really enjoyable! Thank you for making these videos! :)
JJonak inspired me to play zenyatta. Before i knew who he was, i had 0 time on zenyatta but then i wanted to play zen because of JJonak and i became better and better and now i have played zen over 12 hours.
this guy just made an anime style story in 6:13 minutes, i already had high respect for jjonak, but this just put him way higher
1:53-1:55
As a fellow asian i've gotta say you got a gift from god
I need to know the intro song
Same
JJonak a.k.a the sniper Zenyatta
omgggggggggggggggggg. "ryujehong is my role model" wow i love him. support boiz, the solidarity is so real.
I live in CA but so far they are my fav team.
I was Waiting for this
Favorite player! Jjonak is a god
I love JJonak.
Best player in the league my favorite player on the league what can’t this guy do so much passion I fucking love it
OWL is his first pro experience and he is already one of if not the best and is as humble as he is especially about his icon? Cant get much more godly than that 😰
Jjonak the hypebeast.
Even tho I support Toronto Defiant JJonak is one of my favorite players in the league
I feel a deep connection to jjonak. It’s like looking at my self in the mirror. You guys can hate all you want but his story is REALLY REALLY similar to mine
I love how these videos really nail down what a bunch of misfits these guys are. They're not pretending to be big badass sports stars they're just a bunch of loosers that are actually incapable of loosing. I love them.
