Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We've put together a betting tip for Golden Guardians vs PSG Talon at the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. The clubs will close out the Play-In stage and for that reason the match should definitely not be missed.
We have analysed the sides' matches up to this point and also looked at the overall tournament trend and team performance over the course of the event.
We're telling you what to expect from the encounter and who will be the last man standing in the group stages.
Let's get started.
Golden Guardians uniforms
We open our analysis of the PSG Talon v Golden Guardians match with a look at the North American club's form. In this match they will play as favourites.
Bookmakers estimate the chances of GG to win with odds in the region of 1.4. The number is kind of low and hints at a significant advantage for the Golden Guardians, but given the format of the meeting this assessment does not make it safe to call GG the winner of the match.
The LCS representatives are already having an outstanding season for themselves, and if they qualify for the group stage, they will raise the bar of quality to a new level. It will not be easy to do so as they face serious competition from well-established MSI Tournaments and this is the first tournament of this calibre for GG.
- Golden Guardians: Licorice, River, Gori, Stixxay, huhi.
The arrival of South Korean legionnaires Gori and huhi have obviously had an impact on Golden Guardians' success. The success in LCS Spring 2023 can be attributed to this, but also to the overall hitting the mark and the high level of performance of the players.
It shows at the Mid-Season Invitational 2023 as well. The road to the final match of the Play-In MSI 2023 was thorny, but here they are.
In the first match Golden Guardians played against Vietnam representatives GAM Esports, where GG defeated the representative of the Minor region 2-0.
In the next match, GG played against Bilibili Gaming, where they managed to take the card, but no more. Heading into the lower reaches of the Play-In Golden Guardians outplayed Rainbow7 2-0.

We will talk about the playing conditions of Taiwan representatives and Golden Guardians opponent in the play-offs - PSG Talon.
PSG Talon's form
We continue our look at PSG Talon vs Golden Guardians with a look at PSG Talon's form. In this encounter, they will be playing in underdog status.
Bookmakers are giving odds of around 2.8 for PSG Talon to win. Again, a two-fold advantage for the favourite in such matches does not put an end to the underdog.
One can understand PSG Talon's underdogs, as the team represents the Minor region. In a competitive League of Legends in 2023, this is a serious figure to be reckoned with.
However, I wouldn't be too quick to write PSG Talon off, as the team has a couple of trumps up their sleeve. One such is their jungler, for example.
- PSG Talon: Azhi, JunJia, Uniboy, Wako, Woody .
In general, I wouldn't single out anyone in particular. PSG Talon play the lion's share of their games with a united fist that allows them to win and reach last-chance matches, for example.
This was the case in the match against DetonatioN FocusMe in the first round of the Play-In back in the top net. However, even against G2 Esports, Talon already looked like whipping boys, unable to oppose the representative of the Major-region.
Luckily for Talon, they were able to come back to their senses even against LOUD. The Brazilians were unable to hold off the Thai club and left the tournament, while PSG Talon got ready to play their first and probably only boo5 at the Mid-Season Invitational 2023.
PSG Talon's most popular champions
- Top line: Gragas (3 matches, 100% wins), Kennen (3 matches, 66% wins).
- Jungle: Wukong (6 games, 33% wins), Sejuani (4 games, 100% wins).
- Centre Line: Ahri (4 games, 0% wins), Tristana (3 games, 100% wins), Syndra (3 games, 100% wins).
- Shooter: Lucian (4 matches. 50% wins), Aphelios (4 matches, 75% wins).
- Support: Nami (3 games, 66% wins), Thresh (3 matches, 100% wins).
Believe in a win for an experienced club - bet on PSG Talon to win at odds of 2.8.
History of PSG Talon - Golden Guardians
The teams have not previously played each other. This match is the debut face-to-face encounter between the sides.
PSG Talon - Golden Guardians match result
It will not be a mistake to bet on Golden Guardians in this match. In the League of Legends, the favourites do win most matches, but there is always room for surprises.
In my opinion, there are enough entries for a bet on PSG Talon in this match. The main argument remains the history of Talon's performances in the MSI series tournaments, where they have reached the top 4.
I'll take my chances and believe in Talon's success. However, I expect at least 4 maps.
Bottom line: victory for Talon.
