PSG Talon is heading to the main event group stage at the 2020 World Championship despite having to play through the Play-Ins stage with multiple substitues, including Chen “Uniboy” Chang-Chu.
Â
Coming over from ahq Esports Club along with teammate Hsiao “Kongyue” Jen-Tso, mid laner Uniboy not only proved an effective substitute for PSG, he showed himself to be one of the team’s most reliable carries during a successful Play-Ins run at Worlds 2020. In this interview translated by our partners at wanplus, Uniboy spoke on the accomplishment after PSG Talon beat Unicorns of Love in its tiebreaker match
Â
Q: How do you feel after defeating such tricky opponents and making it out of your group?
Â
Uniboy:
I’m thrilled because we can chill for now. We didn’t want to play Unicorns of Love again.
Â
Was it stressful for you?
Â
It was, we didn’t want a tiebreaker game. We flashed the LGD emote [after winning against V3] and hoped that they could beat UOL so that we could avoid that tiebreaker.
Â
Because the chance to directly advance to the group stage was on the line, both teams seemed to be a lot more cautious. Your team won an important team fight at 26 minutes, how did it happen?
Â
I saw that two enemies were out of position. Our team was already fighting to the right under a bot turret, so I waited for Bard to go away and I killed the isolated Ziggs. After that solo kill, the team fight could be easily won.
Â
We heard Kongyue say, “that was a tough game.” What do you think you did that made you better than Unicorns of Love?
Â
We capitalized on our win conditions better, in my opinion. We picked a late-game scaling comp, so we tried to hold on to a small gold deficit and [didn’t push to] make it any larger.
