Boom Esports vs. RSG: Highlights from the Game
Recap

GAME 1

While Boom Esports chose a greedy lineup core of Faceless Void for JaCkky, Queen of Pain
for Yopaj, and Viper for Fbz in Game 1, RSG chose Juggernaut for mks and a mid Pangolier
for xsilearn. Boom Esports won the draught early on in the match because they were able to
repeatedly take out important RSG heroes, giving them an 8K net worth edge at the 33
minute mark. Boom Esports, on the other hand, lost a teamfight close to the Roshan pit
because their heroes were misplaced, which gave RSG an opportunity to get back into the
game. They were able to lock Boom Esports in place while mks dealt the majority of RSG's
damage thanks to X1aOyU's Doom and xiaobonbon's Windrunner kill potential and stun
abilities on Boom Esports heroes. After Boom Esports poor base defence after 42 minutes
of the first game, RSG emerged victorious in an unexpected comeback.

GAME 2

Boom Esports selected Alchemist, Batrider, and Death Prophet as their primary roster in
Game 2 in an effort to pick up the pace. While RSG's combination of Spectre and Ember
Spirit did not work out for them, Fbz's Death Prophet was able to survive the bulk of
teamfights, taking the majority of the damage while applying pushing potential with his
Exorcism ultimate. JaCkky's Alchemist was continually outfarming RSG's heroes. With a huge
net worth advantage of 45K at the end of the second game, Boom Esports won it at 44
minutes, with JaCkky accounting for about 50% of the advantage.

GAME 3

In Game 3, mks's Pudge failed because RSG could not withstand the damage from JaCkky's
Phantom Lancer Diffusal Blade build and Fbz's Dawnbreaker due to their draft's inability to
match Boom Esports pick potential. Furthermore, JaCkky was able to take care of team
cleanup because to Boom Esports lockdown skills keeping xsilearn's Puck in place during
teamfights. The game's star performer was Saieful Fbz Ilham's Dawnbreaker, which helped
Boom Esports upset RSG in 30 minutes.
