Both items built were designed to make Razor tankier, and Topson displayed his understanding of the Razor.
Although he was being harassed in the laning phase, however being tank in team fight, he always able to sustain and survive in the team fight. Thanks to Razor’s second ability – Static Link, he always able to absorb up to 224 damage from an enemy.
Topson’s game play of Razor is definitely a problem that BOOM ID have to take care of.
BOOM ID also displayed a good result in their most recent professional matches against Veteran, Alpha Red and Team Revival in World Electronic Sports Games 2018 Southeast Asia Finals.
OG vs BOOM ID prediction
After analysing the drafting abilities and their recent performance professional match-ups, we give OG a 60% chance to win this match-up.
Our recommendation is to go low and bet on OG to win the game at better than $1.12.
