TNC Predator vs BOOM Esports: Match Recap and Highlights

Recap

Game 1 was a gripping contest because both teams were in it until the end, showcasing their tenacity and teamfight skills. Despite the networth lead indicating that BOOM Esports was miles ahead, this was not the case. TNC always seemed to be fighting back anytime BOOM attempted to trick them. Gabbi and Dreamocel each had over 1k farm by the end, but it was the latter's team that finally sealed the deal in 66 minutes with some clutch buybacks.

In Game 2, the two teams were again neck and neck. There were a few small skirmishes where TNC came out ahead, but the networth never really favored them heavily. However, BOOM won a massive teamfight courtesy of some great spellcasting. As things looked like they were pretty much in the bag for BOOM, TNC came back to win two crucial teamfights and take the victory in 46 minutes.

Game 3 was a back and forth contest where both teams came back when they were behind. Once again, the seesaw tilted in BOOM's favor as they just needed to take down one Melee Barracks to secure Megacreeps. TNC never gave up and did not let their guard down throughout the game, and they ended up securing a couple of crucial support kills to go straight for the Ancient and win in 76 minutes.

Highlights
