Galaxy Racer vs OB.Neon: Match Recap and Highlights

Recap

In game 1, OB.Neon picked a mid Sand King for Yopaj, a practice that was quite common at the start of the meta but has since been shunned by others. It did not work out this time as he died multiple times, giving enemy cores ample space to farm. Galaxy Racer played the teamfight also incredibly well and ended the game in 37 minutes, with inYourdreaM and AlaCrity’s combined KDA being 24-2-32.

Game 2 saw a niche Meepo by Galaxy Racer as its last pick. OB.Neon picked Mars for Yopaj as its last pick to counter Meepo but their heroes had no effective synergy. They had an offlane Queen of Pain and safe lane Templar Assassin. Even though OB.Neon got off to good starts with the laning advantage these heroes had. With Meepo leading the charge, Galaxy Racer once again outplayed them in teamfights to win in just 26 minutes.

Highlights

Here are some highlights of the series.

OB.Neon’s elimination from the BTS Pro Series Season 6 can be owed to its dip in form and some temporary roster adjustments that it has had to make recently due to medical reasons.
