International football stars from Paris Saint-Germain F.C, Lionel Messi and Neymar, sent a message of support to PSG Talon, the #1 PCS team at the 2021 LoL World Championship.

A video was posted on PSG Talon’s official Youtube, where the two superstars publicly voiced their support for PSG’s esports team. While the video itself may only be 17 seconds long, to have such big names show support held a lot of meaning.

PSG Talon face their first opponents in the group stages, LPL’s Royal Never Give Up, in the second match of the day. They’re a team that’s known for their consistent performance on the international stage, as they finished top four at the 2021 MSI, losing to RNG in the semifinals. Day 1 of group stages at the 2021 LoL World Championships kicks off today, where the 2020 World Champions, DWG KIA, will face off against the 2019 World Champions, FunPlus Phoenix.
