Xiao8 to Stand In for PSG.LGD at ESL One Fall
PSG.LGD have announced that they will participate in the upcoming ESL One Fall 2021 with a stand-in. The team’s carry player Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang has been unable to get to the bootcamp in Europe due to visa issues. For this reason, the team will compete with their coach Zhang "xiao8" Ning.
PSG.LGD have had a stable roster since last September, with the Malaysian player NothingToSay being the only non-Chinese member of the team. According to the team’s statement, he will not be able to join his teammates before September. This year the team managed to qualify for The International 10 after placing 3rd at ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021 and winning WePlay AniMajor. Besides that, just last week they emerged victorious at OGA Dota PIT Season 5.
ESL One Fall 2021 is an online event scheduled for August 21st – 29th. The tournament’s prize pool is set at $400,000. PSG.LGD have been seeded into Group B alongside Alliance, beastcoast, SG esports, Team Empire, and Team Liquid.
