Whether winning or losing, both GAM and MVKE have revealed a common issue their teams are facing
In just 2 weeks, MVKE has had to play 2 consecutive “VCS derbies” against two opponents who are performing quite well in the Mid-Seasons 2025 stage, Team SecretWhales and GAM Esports. However, the recent victory against GAM can be said to have temporarily helped MVKE regain their spirit after the unfortunate loss to TSW last week. The only thing is, regardless of winning or losing, both teams GAM and MVKE admit to a major issue lingering within the team.
Accordingly, the Jungle player Gury in the post-match interview admitted that the loss in game 1 was due to a lack of cohesion in the team: “In the first game, we had some moments of poor communication. As a result, we lost unfortunately.” Meanwhile, in his response, Aress also acknowledged that the communication issue is also lingering within GAM.
The Mid Laner of GAM acknowledged: “If we have to find the main fault leading to our defeat in this match, it is probably because the whole team did not really perform well, especially the communication issues. We will probably have to review the match a lot and learn from it because our next opponent, TALON, is also a very strong team this season.”
Both GAM and MVKE have many factors to improve
It is undeniable that both teams are still in a safe position in the LCP Mid-Seasons 2025 standings at this time and are almost guaranteed a playoff spot. But clearly, it is not enough for VCS fans to feel reassured. Both GAM and MVKE have faced unfortunate setbacks this season. Especially the “king of VCS” is still repeating the “record” at the beginning of the year: losing to both VCS teams in their encounters in the group stage.
If both GAM and MVKE do not improve as quickly as possible, the possibility of VCS staying home at MSI 2025 is entirely possible, especially when CFO continues to show dominance and TALON is a very unpredictable name.
