finally decided to merge the LMS of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and the LST of the Southeast Asian League into the PCS League. And this year is the first time the two leagues are on the stage of the World Championship after the merger of the two leagues, and the second seed representing the PCS at the World Championship is this PSG.Talon, which is called the "Great Paris".
team history
in the spring split, they are also called TLN. Talon Esports is a e-sports club established in 2017. Although the club was established late, they have won many other e-sports championships.
was selected to participate in the 2020PCS Spring Split on December 18, 2019. After getting the spot this year, TLN made a blockbuster, and the team won third place in the regular season and successfully entered the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, TLN easily won 2-0 against the Thai team NOV, and then faced LMS's veteran giant ahq. Both sides played five games but were still won by TLN.
In the fourth round of the playoffs, they met MCX, who was ranked first in the regular season. Both sides still played five games but TLN regrettably lost. TLN, who fell into the loser's group, once again encountered AHQ, which was encountered in the second round of the finals. This time, the two sides still fought for five rounds, and the result remained unchanged. TLN and MCX met again on the stage of the spring finals. This time the two sides still played five games, but the difference is that TLN eventually won the tiebreaker and won the first league championship of the PCS League!
After winning the spring championship, the TLN team quickly issued an announcement:
"We are very honored to announce that the Talon League of Legends team will officially cooperate with Paris Saint-Germain Football Club e-sports!
believes even so. People who don’t watch football have heard of the reputation of Paris Saint-Germain. They are a French football club and a well-deserved giant. In fact, as early as 2016, Paris Saint-Germain (hereinafter referred to as PSG) club acquired European The secondary league Huma team entered the field of e-sports of the League of Legends. At that time, they also specially recruited the legendary support player YellowStar from Europe as the head of the e-sports business. This move also brought the club's high popularity at the time.
However, the PSG team failed to fulfill their expectations. In the 2017 spring split, PSG only finished third, and lost to the second team of FNC in the playoffs, thus missed the spot in the promotion. , The team’s performance was even worse than expected and only won the sixth place in the regular season.
So at the end of 2017, PSG announced the dissolution of the League of Legends division, which also means that their exploration in the field of League of Legends has come to an end. In the following three years, PSG did not develop in the direction of League of Legends, but placed it on another domestic club, LGD. However, as the popularity of League of Legends events became more and more intense, PSG once again set its sights on League of Legends events, but because LEC has completed the alliance, it is expensive to get a league seat, so they set their sights on the overseas league, which is the newly established PCS league this year. This cooperation also continues to use PSG The tradition of the club is to name the Talon team and participate in the League of Legends game under the name of PSG.Talon.
The way to advance
By the 2020 Summer Games, the TLN team has also officially changed its name to PSG.Talon. After having the giants of cooperation, PSG. Talon maintained the original team of the spring split, and introduced a number of coaches and analysts to defend his PCS league title.
In the summer regular season, PSG tied with the ahq team with a record of 14-4. 2. However, the PCS league was followed by a playoff. In the BO1 format, PSG lost to ahq. The final regular season record was the same as the spring game, ranking third.
in the 2020 summer playoffs, PSG once again met the Thai team NOV in the first round, and once again easily defeated NOV to advance to the next round. In the next round, they met the old opponent ahq, but this time PSG did not give ahq a chance and easily took ahq to the winner group with a score of 3-1.
In the semi-finals of the winner group, PSG and MCX spring showdown. In this BO5, the two sides once again fought to the decisive game, and the male gun of the jungler River directly scored 8/0/5 to help the team win the game! Winning this game is of great significance. This means that the worst team PSG will win the second place in the Summer Split. Coupled with the championship points of the Spring Split, PSG announced in advance that it has entered the World Championship. PSG has become the world's first team to advance to 2020. The team of the global finals!
However, the MCX team, which fell into the loser's bracket, seemed to suddenly understand the version when facing the first place in the regular season. The whole team played smoothly and easily won with a score of 3-0. The J Team was unparalleled in the regular season, and in the final stage, once again defeated its rival PSG 3-0. Although
PSG failed to defend their PCS League championship, there is a bigger stage waiting for them.
player introduction
2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. Due to the epidemic, this year's global finals also experienced ups and downs. It is a pity that the two teams in the Vietnam Division were unable to participate in the World Championship due to the epidemic, but PSG is also one of the victims of the epidemic.
On September 16, PSG team made an announcement! According to the content of the official announcement,
said: Because the starting lineup is affected by travel restrictions and visa requirements. Tank and River will not be able to participate in the final stage of the competition (they will be isolated in Shanghai during this time). AHQ's Uniboy and Kongyue players will replace them. The two substitutes
will only play in the finals. If PSG enters the group stage, Tank and River will return to the starting lineup. Unified also missed part of the finals for the same reason, so he brought Dee as his substitute.
It can be said that the reason why PSG can win the 2020 spring championship and second runner-up in the summer of the PCS League is that the two Korean aids from Nakano have made great contributions. However, neither of these two Korean aids can appear in the finals. For PSG It is very unfavorable.
In addition, because the Hong Kong-born AD player Unified needs a pass to enter the mainland, the pass is also being processed. When necessary, he used to be a professional AD player, and Dee, who is now a coach, may also play. The head coach's warm-up joke is likely to come true in this world game.
top laner Hanabi
Hanabi is believed to be a player that the domestic audience knows better. He used to be the top laner of Lightning Wolves . After the dissolution of the LMS Division in 2019, the Lightning Wolves team also disbanded. At that time, there were a large number of Flash Wolves. Players choose to go to the outer competition area to seek opportunities, and Hanabi himself once said in an interview that he went to LPL for trial training after the disbanding of Lightning Wolves, but was returned due to his lack of strength.
In this world game, there are many teams with former Flash Wolves players. LPL Division SN team assisted SwordArt, TES team jungler Karsa, LGD team bot lane AD player Kramer, Japan LJL team V3 team jungler Bugi. And Hanabi is also the fifth player ever to have been Flash Wolves.
Hanabi’s most used hero in the 2020 season is the Alligator. In the summer playoffs, Hanabi's three alligators maintained a winning percentage, which is worth noting. Hanabi is more adaptable to being the front row and starter of the team. Hanabi's winning percentage is not great when using single-band heroes. In the Summer Split, he used Qinggang Shadow and Gnar all ended in failure, even if he used Jess and Quinn to win in the Spring Split.The rate is also mixed. The jungler of
Kongyue
mid laner Uniboy
Uniboy is the mid laner of this PSG.Talon qualifier, also on loan from the ahq team. This player likes to use the Wrestling mid laner very much, and Syndra is also his best hero. This player is more inclined to the traditional French core, and has not used an Assassin hero throughout the 2020 Summer Games. He is a more traditional mid laner.
down the road AD Dee
Dee is PSG.Talon on loan from MCX, he used to be a professional player but has already chosen to transform into a coach in 2019. Dee was born in 1993. If this World Championship comes on stage, he should be the oldest player. Dee has not played any game in 2020. PSG also chose to let Dee come to the scene to fight the fire out of helplessness. No matter how Dee played in this world game, he saved people from crisis. The spirit is also worthy of admiration.
assists Kaiwing
Kaiwing is pronounced as the pronunciation of Ling Qirong’s name in Cantonese. He is the hero Bard who uses the most in the playoffs, but in fact he uses Thresh the most in the regular season, and his Thresh has not been tried in the summer. defeat. This player prefers soft assistance and wandering assistance to the group support. In the entire 2020 season, he only used Leona once and ended in failure.
is actually better at walking and protecting, so the cooperation between him and his teammates is quite a test. In these short two weeks, whether Kaiwing can have a good run-in with the new teammates will determine whether PSG can make a big break in the finals.
team brief comment
In this World Championship, PSG came to Group B by drawing lots. They will compete with the four teams LGD, UOL, V3L, and R7 for the qualifications of the finalists. Originally for PSG, being assigned to Group B was a great opportunity to get the top two results, but due to the fluctuation of personnel, it can only be said that the trip to the finals is extremely difficult for them.
