First one was … Uzi and Faker, and now RNG legacy comes into play again.

They’ve met:

  • 2016 Worlds Quarters, Faker won 3:1
  • 2017 Worlds Semis, Faker won 3:2 (famous Galio incident)
  • 2019 Worlds Groups, Faker won 2:0 (RNG didn’t make it out of groups)
  • 2022 Worlds Quarters, Faker won 3:0
  • And now in 2023 they will meet in Worlds Finals, closing the loop.

Poor Xiaohu has lost all of their previous meetings. Same as Uzi btw (they played with Faker 2013 Finals, SKT won 3:0, and then 2016-2019 run was Uzi & Xiaohu against Faker).

But if you think, “lol this guy stands no chance”, then I remind you that if we add MSI into equation, then last year at MSI-2022, RNG with Xiaohu won over T1 in Finals 3:2, and played 1:1 in groups. Xiaohu already once tasted a victory over Faker, though it was MSI, but who knows, maybe Spring is delayed this year?

    Dude’s called the Spring Tiger for a reason. Lets see which curse is stronger; T1 in Finals or Xiaohu at Worlds.
