Interim ADC, Doggo's breathtaking performance carries PSG to League of Legends MSI 2021's Rumble Stage
PSG Talon had to leave for the Mid-Season Invitational arena without their star bot laner Jun-ji “Unified” Huang due to severe health concerns. The Hong Konger had been suffering from pneumothorax, and due to the severity of his condition, Unified couldn't fly to Iceland with his team.
As a result, PSG had to manage with Beyond Gaming's 18-year-old ADC Chiu "Doggo" Tzu-Chuan, who was loaned in as an interim for Unified.
Even after a bad start to the tourney, Doggo eventually proved his worth and put up impressive performances throughout the group stage. His KDA figure hit 11.2, ranking 4th among all players in MSI 2021. Day 5 saw Doggo achieve a monstrous scoreline of 16/2/16 across three games.
Pacific fans have high hopes about PSG Talon for the Rumble Stage. If Doggo and co. succeed in maintaining their group stage performance, League of Legends MSI 2021 might see wonders from the PCS giants.
