Here’s everything that happened in the PSG Talon vs Bilibili Gaming Bracket Stage derby.

PSG Talon vs Bilibili Gaming MSI 2024 Recap

Game 1

BLG locked in a stellar mid-jungle comp that forced PSG Maple into playing respectfully until his team found an early advantage.

A risky dive onto Knight during a top jungle invade went south BLG took first blood on Maple. At the same time, Elk and ON had pushed far into PSG’s botlane tower and got plates for their team.

From there, both teams played extremely safe until PSG’s bot duo initiated a skirmish that levelled the playing field. BLG lacked the summoner spells to play aggressively, so they focused on damage trades after the laning phase.

It turned out to be the right call. Just as PSG were starting to find a good lead, Elk and co. used their 1k gold lead to corral their Jungler, ADC and Support players into a bad fight. Maple was late with his entrance, and another brilliant play by Bin resulted in a devastating cross-map ace.

That said, Betty and Maple were ferocious in their playmaking. Even in an uphill fight, PSG Talon still found great trades. But after Bilibili hit their stride, Xun and Elk’s unrivalled LPL macro couldn’t be stopped.

After two decisive teamfights, BLG slowly opened up all three lanes for the final siege that was headed by knight and Bin. Match one goes to Bilibili Gaming.

Game 2

PSG Maple’s gutsy pick against knight’s Orianna and a Jarvan IV meant that his team needed to get ahead of some strong scaling champs.

PSG committed some pretty avoidable blunders in their laning phase for game two. After a forced tower dive gave Bilibili the first kill of the game, Bin followed up with two, very easy picks that made him the strongest player on the map five minutes in.

Azhi made some noise on the opposite sidelane with a fast kill on Elk, so BLG slowly drifted down to put more pressure on bot lane. With a four-kill advantage, BLG was in the lead.

Things weren’t looking good for the PCS #1 seed. And BLG decided to go on another botlane visit. This prompted JunJia to help protect his botlane duo. And despite having the Teleport advantage, BLG Xun still found an angle that separated Woody from his team and stopped PSG’s counteroffensive.

But even with a 6k gold deficit, PSG Talon still found good fights that kept the score gap from growing, and impressively equalized the score. At this point, it was clear that the PCS reps had more to give in top jungle skirmishes, so they kept the pressure.
