?We sided with DWG KIA to beat the LoL Pro League (LPL) champions last Friday, but Royal Never Give Up won that match without too much hassle. However, the theme of that match was more DWG KIA’s lacklustre performance rather than RNG’s superior quality.
The Korean champions’ approach that day was very lackadaisical, which isn’t something you would expect to see from a team coached by the legendary Kim “kkOma” Jeong-gyun. It’s difficult to side against the reigning LoL world champions, but it’s very clear that DWG KIA aren’t nearly as good as expected.
RNG are not a perfect team by any means, but they at least don’t give up leads and underestimate their opponents. Take the Chinese side to win again.

?Pentanet.GG have already reached their goal and seem well aware that they won’t be moving any mountains in the Rumble Stage. The Aussies are here to have fun, and that’s exactly what they’re doing with their unique strategies and unpredictable tactics.
PSG Talon travelled to Iceland as one of the most underrated teams in the tournament, but perhaps they are now getting the attention they deserve after smacking RNG and MAD Lions on Sunday. They look a very good chance to make it to the MSI finals, so it’s easy to guess where we stand with this fixture.
Talon are clearly the better team, and if their last meeting with Pentanet.gg is anything to go by, there is a strong chance we might be in for another one-sided affair on Tuesday. We hope to see more unique strategies from the Oceanic champions, but they will struggle to keep this one close.

In their previous meeting with PSG Talon, Cloud9 managed to build up a small gold lead pre-15 minutes but were unable to match Talon’s strong macro play. While the LoL Championship Series (LCS) champions were busy getting gold, Talon were taking down objectives and winning the match.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about that clash is that PSG Talon managed to win with a composition (Lee Sin, Morgana, Akali, Kai’Sa, Leona) that is much harder to execute. This says a lot about the individual quality of the Talon players and the strength of their teamfighting.
This could be a do-or-die match for Cloud9, but that doesn’t change the fact that PSG Talon have looked better thus far. The outsider odds for the Asian squad are way too good for us to ignore.
