Hello on EGamersWorld!
We close out the breakdown of the first round of the Play-In Mid-Season Invitational 2023 with a betting contest for DetonatioN FocusMe - PSG Talon, which will close out game day.
Before compiling the betting board, we took a closer look at the participants in the match: we took a look at the latest personnel changes, regional results and the general trend on the international scene. Here's a look at the upcoming DetonatioN FocusMe vs PSG Talon at the Mid-Season Invitational 2023.
Let's get started.
PSG Talon's form
We'll open the second leg with an analysis of PSG Talon's form. The representatives from Taiwan appear as favourites, and the odds for their victory are estimated at around 1.4.
This is certainly due to the fact that PSG Talon are based in Taiwan, PCS. In general, this is normal practice for the early stages of international events in the League of Legends, as there is little overlap between representatives of "far" leagues in LoL.
However, this should also be enough to analyse the form of PSG Talon. We will take PSG Talon's performance at PCS Spring 2023, which took place from February to April this year, as a basis.
PSG Talon became champions within the domestic league, and without too much trouble. From the group stage, Talon looked like a future champion as the team closed out the regular season with a 15-3 win before heading to the semi-finals of the top of the table play-offs.
In the main stage, PSG Talon, unexpectedly, played hard. The team closed out the two rounds with sweat and tears, alternately beating Impunity and CBTC Flying Oyster 3-2.
Already in the grand final, PSG Talon looked like champions. The club fairly confidently outlasted Frank Esports 3-0, thus earning themselves a trip to Play-In.
- PSG Talon line-up: Azhi, JunJia, Uniboy, Wako, Woody.
It should be noted that PSG Talon has a very experienced roster. Players have appeared in LPL tournaments, and the main character of the team is JunJia, who once played for EDward Gaming, and now is the champion of the neighboring region.

DetonatioN FocusMe formation
Let's move on to a breakdown of the playing form of DetonatioN FocusMe, who will face PSG Talon. In this match, the Japanese club will play in underdog status.
Bookmakers are giving odds of around 2.8 for DetonatioN FocusMe to win. Such a figure, again, is due to the overall level of teams in the regions, as PCS is a more prestigious place than LJL, albeit a similar one.
Returning to DetonatioN FocusMe, it's worth noting that the team, like Talon, is highly recognisable in the professional League of Legends scene. The team has long usurped supremacy in the LJL and wins local splits year after year.
The 2023 season was no exception for the Japanese club. The team won LJL Spring 2023 without any problems. There were some inconveniences in the group stage, when LJL Ledge twice, but the play-offs were easy.
DetonatioN FocusMe had two opponents in the main stage, as the team went there from second place in the regular season. The opponents were DFM Fukuoka HAWKS gaming and Sengoku Gaming. Both clubs lost 0-3, while DetonatioN FocusMe became LJL champions 13 times.
- Composition of DetonatioN FocusMe: tol2, Steal, Aria, Yutapon, Harp .
The remarkable thing about the DetonatioN FocusMe line-up is their stability. The only substitution in the line-up before the season was the transfer of Tol2 from the club's academic roster.
The most popular champions of DetonatioN FocusMe
- Top line: Malphite (4 games, 100% wins).
- Jungle: Xin Zhao (3 games, 100% wins).
- Centre Line: Ahri (2 games, 100% wins).
- Shooter: Xayah (4 matches, 100% wins).
- Support: Rakan (3 matches, 100% wins).
The team has 100% performance and one win on account of dominance during the play-offs of LJL Spring 2023. However, this remains the most telling data.
Believe in success of DFM - bet on the Japanese club with odds in the region of 2.8.

Predicted Result of the DetonatioN FocusMe vs PSG Talon
This match should be second after GAM Esports - Golden Guardians in terms of roughly equal play. A two-goal lead at this level is a far cry from a critical gap.
I believe DFM are capable of picking up the card, but it won't win.
Bottom line: victory for PSG Talon/ +1.5 for DFM.
