team profile:

There is only one big Paris, that is my LGD...No, PSG Talon team. PSG is the abbreviation of Paris Saint-Germain Club. In recent years, traditional sports giants are keen to enter e-sports . PSG club is no exception. They formed the League of Legends division at the end of 2016, but unfortunately they did not enter the European LCS league in the second year. , And finally chose to disband. After the dissolution of the LOL division, PSG club tried to join the H2K team to apply for a permanent seat in the LEC league, but was rejected by Riot Games. Therefore, PSG club decided to focus on other e-sports projects, and cooperated with LGD team DOTA2, FIFA.

However, PSG club still wants to return to the field of League of Legends this year. They finally chose the newly established PCS team Talon. In June, PSG Club and Talon team reached a cooperation and sponsored their LOL branch. Going back to the Talon team, the team name is exactly the same as the male sword "Talon". They have multiple e-sports divisions. The LOL division was established in December last year. In view of the poor performance in the LMS competition over the years, Riot Games decided to merge the Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia competitions into the Pacific PCS competition. Many former LMS teams withdrew from the competition, and the Talon team successfully won their seats. The

Talon team itself is an investor in Hong Kong, China. Therefore, their players are all former LMS players with Korean aid, and their competitiveness is naturally much stronger than those in Southeast Asia. Team Talon achieved third place in the regular season of the PCS Spring Season, and then made a big siege in the postseason losers group and successfully avenged the MCX team, which ranked first in the regular season. After being named by the PSG club, the Talon team did not make much adjustments, but before the start of the PCS Summer Split, the starting mid laner returned to South Korea due to personal circumstances. Tank, who had played in the LPL league, took a firm starting position. . Team

PSG maintained its dominance in the regular season of the PCS summer season, still achieved third place in the regular season, and defeated the MCX team in the winner group to reach the finals. However, the script of the summer game is the opposite of that of the spring game. This time the MCX team broke out in the loser group and defeated the PSG team to win. Therefore, the PSG team became the second seed in the PCS division, and they will start from the final stage. However, the three members of the PSG team encountered visa problems, which caused them to delay entry. The team had to find three temporary substitute players, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

zz and wolves on the singles:

z2 6zz13 In the 2018 and 2019 Mid-Season Championships, the best result was the MSI Final Four. Before his debut, he was a well-known anchor "Fire Dragon" in Taiwan, China. He was relatively strong when he got a specific hero. The overall laning ability is not top, but it is enough in the LMS division. After the Flash Wolves team disbanded, Hanabi failed to come to the LPL to make money, so he continued to stay in the PCS division. His personal status this year has declined quite sharply. If your teammates don't help, you will be easily knocked down in the early stage, and they are the top laners who eat more resources. Now that the PSG team has undergone a major substitution, Hanabi is under great pressure on the road, and more depends on his own ability to mix.

Jungle player: Although River

River is a Korean player, he has been active in the Japanese division before. He played for the V3 team last year and failed to make the world. However, The V3 team switched to the former Flash Wolves jungler this yearBugi returned to the World Championship. However, River is the core of tactics in the PSG team. When he gets Nidalee or Li Qing, he can often play a wild advantage. The number of wild core heroes and rhythm heroes is similar. Although the PSG team temporarily changed in the summer game, his cooperation with Tank is not counted. However, due to the reason of returning to China to apply for a visa, both River and Tank delayed the entry time. He needs to be isolated in Shanghai for two weeks before being shortlisted. The stage is over.

Mid laner: Tank

LPL old audiences are very familiar with him, this mid laner who debuted for many years, joined the Snake team in 2015, is the holy gun His old teammate, and SofM have also partnered. After that BO10 was not finished, Tank played in various sub-leagues, but failed to achieve very good results. After joining the PSG team this year, Tank took on the main output in the team. His hero pool is still the signature brush role, and the assassins and support heroes are not used well. The PSG team lost in the PCS Summer Finals, mainly because the midfield team did not play at the level they should have, and was suppressed by the MCX team.

Recently used heroes: Azir, Zoe, Syndra

Bottom lane player: Unified

Because Hanabi's personal ability is not as good as before, the PSG team is relying on the jungle to lead the rhythm this season, and then double C takes over the game. Unified may be the strongest bot laner in the PCS division. Both the carry role and the tool man can use it very well and obtain more gorgeous data. He and his support player Kaiwing are old teammates who have known each other for many years. They have been partners since the HKA team, and also reached the 2017 global finals, but were eliminated in the final stage. Unified also encountered a visa issue, which caused him to be unable to participate in all the competitions in the final stage. This is undoubtedly very fatal for the PSG team, losing two main output players at once.

Auxiliary player: Kaiwing

As mentioned earlier, Kaiwing and Unified have been partnered for a long time and are the top bottom lane combination in the PCS division. The tacit understanding between the two deep. Kaiwing is not an auxiliary player with strong roaming ability. He focuses more on protecting the vision of the line and the bottom half of the map. The PSG team's style is also biased towards the mid-term development of the fight. Kaiwing's hook heroes play well and are the main means of team formation. His soft auxiliary heroes use less, except for Kalmar, only Yumi with a specific combination. Kaiwing's Alistar is a famous terrier. He once won the title of "Guardian of God" in the LMS Division because of the magical performance of this hero.

World Championship prediction:

After the merger of the LMS and SEA divisions, the two teams that successfully won the World Championships are actually LMS teams, even third-placed. The ahq team are all former LMS teams. Although many outstanding Chinese Taiwan and Hong Kong players have come to the mainland to develop, the overall strength of the remaining players is still far stronger than the wild card and Vietnamese teams. If the PSG team does not encounter visa problems, they basically locked one directly. Race quota. However, the temporary replacement of three players in the team made it a big trouble for the PSG team to even qualify. After all, the player running-in is the biggest problem.

Because the starting lineup was affected by travel restrictions and visa requirements, Tank and River were unable to participate in the final stage of the event. The two players in this time period are still in isolation in Shanghai. According to the rules of Riot Games, they finally rented Uniboy and Kongyue players from the ahq team to play. These two have been partners for a long time. They played for the MAD team in 2018 and once reached the main stage of the global finals.The group record is 0-6, which is very miserable. Uniboy's competitive state is not stable enough, laning ability is average, hero pool is more functional, and recent playoff performance is quite mediocre.

and Kongyue is currently the strongest local jungler in the PCS division. He is considered to be the successor after Karsa. Especially when he gets the wild core hero, he can perform very brightly. It is the ahq team that won the third place in the regular season. key. The ahq team can be said to be the third most powerful team in the PCS division, and it is relatively familiar with the PSG team's play style. It is difficult for the club to rent a better midfield combination, and the JT team players refused. Unfortunately, the PSG team’s problem is not just the bottom lane. Bottom lane player Unified will also miss part of the finals. The selection of this substitute candidate is more difficult.

According to the rules of Riot Games, PSG team has used two loan players as emergency substitutes. The third substitute player can not only choose amateur players who have not played for a year. In other words, they originally wanted to find the Wako plan of ahq team. It fell through. In the end, the team could only rent out the MCX team’s coach Dee as the starting bot laner. He served as the bot lane player for the MCX second team before retiring last year. Therefore, the PSG team's current lineup is three substitutes plus two starters. The mid laner's output is unstable. The bottom player is returning after retiring. The team's rhythmic driving point and teamfighting output are completely dependent on loaned junglers.

Since the PSG team’s goal is to enter the main game, the three isolated players have completely out of the team’s training in the last two weeks. They put their energy on the loaned players, hoping to strengthen their running-in as soon as possible. If the PSG team enters the main stage in a thrilling manner, the three players in the summer split will still have to continue to play, but the PSG team can't think about that far. It has to be said that the PSG team in this global finals can be described as plagued by disasters. Players need to make more efforts to stand out from the final stage. The key to whether the team can advance depends on the recovery of the loan players. The

PSG team was assigned to Group B in the finals. Many teams in this group are good at BO1. Let alone the strongest LGD team. The UOL team’s hero pool is very deep. The starting five-man partner has been for a long time, and is essentially the fifth seed in the European division. The V3 jungler Bugi has strong personal ability. His global injury lead rate in this summer game is second only to JackeyLove. Therefore, it is very difficult for the PSG team to compete for second place in the group. They hope that their schedule will be as long as possible. If the team is dragged to the knockout stage, the main output of Unified may come on the court and get a key victory.

Although the PSG team has encountered greater difficulties, from the interview this week, the team is not completely without confidence. After all, the LMS division was also the top five leagues in the past, and the strength of the players and the team’s play are stronger. . However, even if the PSG team enters the main game, it is difficult to go far. Judging from the PCS Summer Finals, their performance in the middle field is off-standard. Especially after River and Tank have been separated for four weeks, their personal state is definitely not very good. What's more, if the PSG team enters the main match stage, they can only be divided into group B. This group has DWG and JDG teams, which is a true death group for the finalists.
