In what was arguably the best League of Legends match at the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational to date, PSG Talon surprised viewers around the world by leading Bilibili Gaming to a thrilling fifth match today.

Sadness and prayers for those who missed today’s thrilling series between the reigning MSI champions (and LPL top seed) and the PCS representatives. Most didn’t predict that the first time Silver Scrapes would play at Chengdu Arena would be between the current MSI title holders and a team from the Play-Ins stage. But what a thrill it was for everyone who followed the series from the very first minute.

While BLG ultimately secured the win and advanced to the upper echelons of MSI 2024, the road to victory was anything but easy as PSG fought fiercely for every inch of the Rift. The series, which defied initial predictions of a 3-0 sweep in BLG’s favor, held the audience’s breath with its unexpected twists and turns.

Throughout the series, BLG struggled with mid-game macro issues, particularly in managing side lanes and over-committing to fights, chasing their opponents through the fog of war. PSG Talon seized these opportunities and turned the tide of game two in their favor in a single strategic team fight. Despite BLG’s early lead in the series, PSG Talon fought back tirelessly, showcasing their resilience and strategic prowess.
