Preview of HLE vs PSG Talon at League of Legends Worlds 2021

Predictions

HLE had an overall decent performance during the round-robin stage one at League of Legends Worlds 2021. They look much stronger when compared to their displays at the LCK Summer Split.

However, one critical problem persists within their composition: the lack of team coordination when it matters the most.

HLE has a bad habit of doing multiple things around the map and getting caught off-guard by opponents. This happens especially when they are in a losing position, where the team loses its composure.

PSG Talon, on the other hand, has showcased brilliance within its game. The team has evolved a lot and Hanabi, the weak link of the side, seems to have upped his game.

Therefore, PSG Talon should be able to close this match out through experience and superior ability to read a given situation.

Head-to-head

PSG Talon and HLE have faced each other only once at the League of Legends World Championships 2021. The former won that match and are currently 1-0 ahead in head-to-head matchups.

When and where to watch
