BẢN TIN LMHT 11/10: GAM THUA BẠC NHƯỢC, NGƯỜI VIỆT GIA NHẬP T1

After MSI 2023, the faith of Vietnam fans seems to have touched the bottom, and it is more sad that the disappointment is one step higher, after a full-fledged defeat of the VCS GAM, in front of a weaker opponent, Laos. In the first round, GAM headed to the final, with the leaders such as Xayah, Rumble, Orianna, and the cards with the ability to Laos well, including Ravage, Nautilus. This agrees with GAM's commitment to have a really stable path and not give the opponent a chance to overcome. But then Xayah came to the position of the most trusted fan, the Pallet Slider pair. With an unfounded attack, GAM completely lost control of the bottom lane. Kai'Sa's QoR with the ability to control the vision when she has her own early QoR made half of GAM's map completely destroyed. In the middle of the fight, although she tried to deal damage in the end-of-the-match battle, but it seems that Laos' formation even passed Slider to knock down other members. In the end, MSR2023 happened again, when Pentakill was given to the opponent, and the sound of the chat box was full of fighting. In the second round, GAM pulled out the lessons in the first round, and the Pallet Slider did not make a mistake early, but it was a pity. Their top laner, Xayah, was too confident in the match, and was always the target of Krohk and Robo. Kai'Sa, on the other hand, had a lot of equipment on the other side of the battlefield. But it was because of too much power that made Slider look down on Robo's ability to create a wave with the use of KST. After GAM was down in the middle of the opponent's lane, with the ability to support the wave, GAM's advantage was lost. After a few minutes, GAM was able to defend Laos' push successfully. But then, when a Xayah was played, it was too much to push GAM down the map. A few months ago, one of the top North American players, Griffin, was in Korea to look for a chance to participate in the LCK. According to Griffin, he went with LS Streamer to try out at Korean eSports organizations. After a long period of effort in Korea, LS recently told Griffin that he had passed the trial period in the summer with T1. Through that, he became a member of the academy team. Griffin's LCK team has joined T1, and now he is in their academy team. The trial period lasted all summer and ended in September. Griffin is a streamer, a YouTuber, and a forest walker, with a Korean age. A while ago, Griffin climbed a North American mountain at the age of 16, and then went to Korea to pursue his passion. Griffin is 17 years old in September, but he is still quite young in the legendary league. Therefore, Griffin still has a strong potential to develop and shine in the professional scene. Speaking of Griffin, he is Vietnamese and lives in Illinois, USA. Before entering the 2023 World Championship, you can see that the summer LCK was really a long time with T1 members. Refusing to be an unbeaten player, they lost Faker and immediately fell into a crisis. Then when Faker returned, T1 even defeated the strongest team at that time, KT Rolster. Although after that, T1 continued to lose in another final match. But obviously, when it comes to formation, they are a group that cannot be underestimated. However, according to the professional scene, in fact, Faker's importance is undeniable. And when T1 has enough numbers, they are very strong. Just the fact that they have Faker and still lose in important finals is also a fact. Even when they are an unbeaten team like in the spring of 2022, T1 still lost to Royal Never Gave Up. Obviously, not only Faker's role, but other players also have a lot of problems. Recently, the former AFF Native player Yamato Kennen has shared about T1's problems. Zouk and Gouma Yoshi are the two best players in T1 right now, except Faker. Although Gouma sometimes makes mistakes, but he has also been a pillar of T1 in many matches. But Honor and Karia are the weak points. When their coordination is not good after the trip, it will not be fair when it comes to responsibility for Honor. If the balance is maintained, T1 is a very strong team. But I think they are not stable yet. It is clear that for a long time, Honor's lack of spirit was the main reason why T1 fans recognized. It is not a small part that made the team fail. But looking at it more broadly, it is some of the players, such as Karia, who no longer retain their awareness and independence, as when he returned to play as a support at the beginning of 2023. And when the two factors are important in which part of the make-play to lose themselves, it is easy to understand that T1 has grown up. The next Worlds may be the last time this team plays together. And for sure, if there is a change when the season ends, no one wants World 2023 to become a sad memory for T1 members. In a meaningful match representing the two regions of LEC and LCS, PDS has left a strong impression with a mix of colors, effective and extremely diverse strategies. Not to mention Ardor, the top lane of PDS has two Garen fights to turn itself into a center. I am not very confident about winning because this is a series of 5v5 matches. Its pressure is very big. With today's win, the tension is completely dissipated. Because my team has moved on. I am very happy with my teammates and want to continue the journey to Worlds. Adam did not forget to explain why he chose Garen in the last two games against Guardian. At that time, I really liked Darius's Q skill because I could one-shot immediately. Then I just played Darius. But right after watching Udyr's videos, a famous French streamer, he has very good skills. He played Olaf, Tryndamere, top lane. Suddenly, I started playing Olaf after watching the video. After following and practicing hard, I started to think. It's mine, because this champion is for me. I started playing Garen last year. I have loved this character since then. I like it the most when there are not many people playing Garen. Because of that, it makes the opponent uncomfortable and I don't know what to do. Adam received a lot of support from Korean fans after winning against Golden Guardian. I think it was a great experience to meet many fans during the interview on stage. I was especially moved when the organizers showed me pictures of reporters drawn by fans. It was a great memory and I will never forget it. Thank you very much. Adam finished the interview quickly, before joining Team TTS to prepare for the match against Team World at 5 p.m. on October 11. The Vietnamese fans, as well as esports in general, were extremely upset when players were criticized for their achievements in ASEAN. Accordingly, a traditional sports magazine with a green title, posted a post with the title, White-handed scene, It is hard to believe that the most popular team in Vietnam is the Vietnamese team in ASEAN 19. This post says that the Vietnamese team in ASEAN 19 has the most players, 27 people, among the sports teams, but does not bring any medals. Compared to ASEAN 5 years ago, it is clear that the Vietnamese team in ASEAN 19 has won 4 medals. The post also analyzes the strength of teams such as League of Legends, PUBG Mobile, or League of Legends Mobile, and says that the above achievements are reasonable. Although I think that the above title really caused a lot of controversy in the community. For fans who don't follow esports, This is a bad achievement and deserves to be criticized. However, for those who understand the situation, this is not really worth mentioning. In fact, the Vietnamese sports team, before joining ASEAN, also placed Camomile Esports in a group that is not capable of competing in the finals. That's why the post with the title of the best team in Vietnam made many fans feel dissatisfied. At the same time, when ASEAN 19 ended, the criticism of the above teams did not bring any effect.
