Preview of RNG vs PSG Talon at League of Legends MSI 2022

Prediction

PSG Talon has had a very smooth journey at the League of Legends PCS 2022 Spring Split. The team lost two games during the regular season and one in the playoffs.

Overall, PSG Talon has been a force to reckon with. No one else can match up to their quality in both individual talent as well as team play. PSG Talon's top laner, Hanabi, has been excellent throughout PCS 2022 Spring Split. The question is, will he be able to tackle the top laners at MSI 2022?

On the other hand, RNG has also had a dominant run during League of Legends LPL 2022 Spring Split, but their journey differs greatly from PSG Talon. This is because the competition in LPL is absolutely brutal.

In LPL, there are around 17 teams,with at least 10 teams holding the capability to win a World Championship. In such a highly competitive environment, staying at the top is extremely complicated, but RNG has shown that it is possible with near perfect gameplay and decision making.

RNG is always called the "Spring Emperor" and no matter what happens, the team is ready to keep its title intact.

In terms of predictions, RNG will ultimately be able to win the face-off. though PSG Talon will put up a fair fight.
