As we know, in recent days, the APAC server has attracted participation not only from players from VCS, PCS… but also from major regions like LCK or LPL. This is considered a shared server for the Asia-Pacific region created by Riot to provide the latest updates for players to prepare. Riot’s attention has made fans from different regions feel “warm-hearted.” In the context of the increasingly strict Korean server, the APAC super server acts as a “lifesaver” for teams, especially in smaller regions like VCS, PCS, or LJL.
Recently, the players of T1 also started to “land” on this server and brought many experiences for both the audience, VCS players, and Faker and his teammates. The most notable among them is probably Keria, as he is one of the most hardworking T1 players, frequently participating in the APAC server to train for the new season. Therefore, Keria also has many opportunities to interact with VCS players and create “unforgettable” memories.
Recently, when teaming up with Levi, Kati, and Sparda, Keria displayed a “headache” and confused expression when hearing VCS players discuss ban-pick in Vietnamese. In fact, the T1 support could only guess which champion his teammates wanted him to use when he could faintly hear the name of that champion. At the end of the ban-pick phase, Levi had to finalize in English for Keria to understand.
But even without understanding anything, Keria was still very excited to hear his teammates calling continuously. Perhaps the speed of team calls from VCS players was too fast, and due to the language barrier, Keria temporarily couldn’t comprehend. Nevertheless, this also highlights Keria’s excellent strategic vision. He could quickly deduce the game situation just by glancing and understand what his teammates were doing. The performance of VCS players was also warmly praised by the reigning 2023 World Champion.
VCS fans are also excited by Keria’s expressions and the team calls of VCS players
Clearly, Riot’s APAC server has provided rare experiences that VCS, PCS… or players from major regions can gain. And perhaps witnessing VCS players play seriously, accurately, and with high skills, Keria in particular and stars from major regions in general will have a greater appreciation for teams from smaller regions.
