So, they’ve decided to sign Kim “Gori” Tae-woo. As a top player who has been at the top of the Korea region, this is a great signing for this team.

So, here’s what the roster looks like below!

  • Su “Hanabi” Chia-Hsiang – Top
  • Huang “Azhi” Shang-Chih – Top
  • Kim “Gori” Tae-woo – Mid
  • Wong “Unified” Chun Kit – Bot

PSG Talon LoL Roster – Parting Ways with Two Players

Posted on by Gabriel Sciberras

Indeed, the PSG Talon LoL Roster has always had a strange problem. Accordingly, although consistently dominating the PCS region, they always struggle internationally. Perhaps a product of this is a new roster announcement – read on to learn more!

PSG Talon LoL Roster – Change is Here

After placing 5th at the Mid-Seasonal Invitational most recently, change is in the works. Specifically, the likes of Lee “Juhan” Ju-han and Park “Bay” Jun-byeong have parted ways with the roster.

For whatever reason, that now leaves the following active roster for the organization:

  • Su “Hanabi” Chia-Hsiang – Top
  • Huang “Azhi” Shang-Chih – Top
  • Wong “Unified” Chun Kit – Bot
  • Ling “Kaiwing” Kai Wing – Support

Bearing this in mind, they need players to fill in two roles – that of ‘Mid’ and ‘Jungle’. Correspondingly, they have the likes of Jason “Pretender” Ng on the bench who could work as a Mid, but they’d still be missing one piece.

Whatever roster they form, it will have a dire need to try and make an impact internationally.

  • 5th @ Mid-Season Invitational 2022
  • 1st @ PCS Spring 2022
  • 9-11th @ 2021 World Championship
  • 1st @ PCS Spring Summer
  • 3-4th @ Mid-Season Invitational 2021
  • 1st @ PCS Spring 2021
