On April 5th, SofM’s VKE continued to excite fans by achieving a convincing victory over TS with a score of 3-1. This crucial win propels VKE into the VCS Spring 2024 Grand Finals. This brings VKE closer than ever to securing a ticket to MSI 2024, needing just one more victory to achieve this impressive feat.
With many years of competition in the LPL, SofM’s return to VKE has attracted significant attention from this region. Following VKE’s recent victory, the media in the LPL unanimously placed their trust in SofM and his teammates to secure a ticket to MSI. The main reason stems from SofM’s extensive experience and unique strategic mindset after years of competing in the LPL.
“Playing alongside someone who is not only a boss, coach, and an outstanding player like SofM is a huge motivation for VKE. Especially since SofM was a World Runner-up and is regarded as an idol by many players in Vietnam. Both teams in the loser’s bracket are ‘defeated foes’ of VKE, so this team has a tremendous opportunity to win the VCS. As long as they maintain their current momentum, with SofM’s rich experience, VKE is almost certain to secure a ticket to MSI,” Sohu concluded.
Indeed, at this moment, SofM’s extensive competitive experience from years in the LPL is an incredibly powerful weapon. Notably, after the last two matches in the VCS Spring 2024 playoffs, VKE has controlled the map and team fights much more systematically compared to the Group Stage. Furthermore, VKE has also avoided making significant mistakes in positioning, making it tough for opponents to exploit. Even a newcomer like Fireblade has played remarkably composed thanks to his guidance, despite facing formidable opponents like Kiaya and Hasmed.
Clearly, with such a positive psychological momentum, SofM and his teammates have a great chance to win the VCS Spring 2024. If this happens, it would indeed be a significant signal for the Vietnamese League of Legends scene as GAM’s dominance in the VCS would come to an end. Not to mention that VKE could create many remarkable highlights at MSI 2024 with an outstanding player like SofM.
Fairly speaking, the recent negative drama in the VCS has inadvertently made the tournament more interesting by facilitating SofM’s return. It is hoped that the ‘king of games’ in the Vietnamese gaming scene will maximize his experience advantage to help VKE achieve even greater success, not just stopping at defeating GAM or TS as they have recently done.
