The Bitter Failure of the Vietnam League of Legends Team at AIC 2024: Setting a Record for the Most Disappointing Performance
The Vietnam League of Legends team has faced a disappointing failure at the AIC 2024, establishing a record for the most disappointing performance in the history of the tournament. This has left both the team and its fans feeling disheartened.
During the event, the team struggled, facing significant challenges in their gameplay, which has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. This situation has also become a hot topic of discussion among the gaming community.
Tùng Hòa Mi: A Veteran Commentator Reflects on the Situation of Vietnam League of Legends
During a live stream, commentator Tùng Hòa Mi stated: “Our golden age has passed. Teams like GameTV, Team Flash, and Saigon Phantom have set the bar high, yet we still can’t seem to find the right names to fill their shoes. Meanwhile, talent acquisition has been harder than in other regions.”
He elaborated on the various challenges faced by the team: issues like limited training opportunities, difficulties in honing skills, and a lack of focus during important matches. In contrast to other regions, Vietnam’s gaming environment seems to be struggling more with these challenges.
Moreover, the financial support for gaming in Vietnam is significantly lower compared to regions like East China and Thailand. Other regions are attracting better sponsorships, and their player pools are larger. The situation in Vietnam is particularly dire, with players experiencing lower incomes, making it difficult to sustain a professional career.
Fans have been vocal about their disappointment:
“Players are expected to adapt quickly, yet they are often left to fend for themselves. The competition level has increased, and the training segments are demanding. When the players are young, they often overlook the importance of focusing on their games.”
“Let’s start focusing on our domestic tournaments, as they are essential for nurturing talent in Vietnam. Adjusting to the local scene is crucial, especially if we want to compete internationally.”
“There are no excuses for the META changes; it is just an added layer of complexity that doesn’t help our situation.”
“The skill gap has widened, and adjusting to the META has become a challenge for our players.”
Previously, discussions about the failures of AOG (Arena of Glory) at international tournaments have been prevalent. ADC, a well-known player, shared his thoughts:
“Changing the META is always a double-edged sword for the AOG region. We tend to lag behind other regions in adapting to new META changes. However, once we do catch up, AOG can shine on the international stage.”
