After two years, PSG Talon is finally back in Worlds.
JunJia shares his thoughts on how they made it this far.
However, the team managed to bounce back to win the series 2-1.
PSG Talon knew they had to bring their best if they wanted to make it out of Play-ins.
Because of that, we were able to showcase better mechanics and a better performance."
Their opening match against paiN Gaming reminded them of the challenges of the Play-ins.
In the first game, PSG Talon started cleanly, pulling ahead because of their superior macro skills.
However, as the game progressed, the plays the CBLOL champs were pulling off were getting scrappier.
This threw him and the rest of PSG Talon off guard.
Unable to fight back, paiN overwhelmed the Play-ins favourites and eventually took down the Nexus.
Rattled, PSG Talon were forced to regroup.
“After losing that game, we were all a bit disappointed.
That mindset shift proved pivotal as the Play-ins progressed.
That’s why we played so badly.”
Ive watched a lot of [Canyon’s] games, and he’s definitely a very strong jungler.
I hope we can meet on stage."
Facing some of the worlds best will be no small task, but JunJia and PSG Talon are ready.
JunJia is optimistic about their chances in the Swiss Stage format.
We just need to concentrate and showcase our optimal performance."
“I think I need to improve my jungle plan a bit more.
Thats something Ill be working on to help us go further in the competition.”
This includes his jungle rotations, his cross-mapping, and of course, utilising the champion pool.
While Wukong is currently strong in the meta, he may need to consider counter picks for specific opponents.
Its a pretty balanced meta, so it comes down to individual preference and who plays better."
It motivates me to keep pushing."
Well keep working harder and venture to make it to the quarterfinals."
PSG Talon have proven their resilience in the Play-ins, but the road ahead is perilous.
Will mindset be the game-changer for PSG Talon in Worlds 2024?
