Group C Phase 2 at League of Legends Worlds 2021
Overview of participating teams
Group C at League of Legends Worlds 2021 has four teams, namely RNG, HLE, Fnatic and PSG Talon.
RNG is, by far, the most dominant team in the group. The team has performed to the level of Chinese LPL teams; showcasing its dominance in a spectacular fashion.
PSG Talon was the dark horse in the group and has managed to keep the title quite successfully. The team showcased an immense amount of talent and proved that no one should take it lightly.
Fnatic has been the most disappointing team in group C. The sudden departure of Upset has hit the team hard, however, and internal issues within the organization have further fuelled the breakdown of morale. As a result, the problems are reflecting on the games with some of the worst performances ever by the European team.
Hanwha Life Esports has been the most consistent team amongst all four. It has performed exactly in the way people expected. The team has mostly relied on individual performances from Deft and Chovy, while often struggling to find team synergy during tough times.
