CFO Player Thanks VCS Teams
At First Stand 2025, the representatives from LCP – CBTC Flying Oyster delivered astonishing performances. Notably, they were the only team with an almost undefeated record, only losing to HLE in a “one-sided” match. Recently, according to a player from CFO, the achievement of “Big Brother LCP” owes much to the VCS teams.
Specifically, according to CFO’s Top Laner River, facing off against VCS teams helped this team develop strategies to cope with chaotic team fights and improve their defensive capabilities. These “lessons” proved effective at First Stand 2025.
At LCP 2025, Team Secret Whales was the only VCS team to defeat CFO. At that time, many Vietnamese League of Legends fans even considered CFO not strong enough to represent the APAC region at First Stand. However, after that loss, the team from the PCS region continued to perform better, and both remaining VCS representatives (GAM and MVKE) fell to CFO.
There is Still a Certain Gap Between VCS and PCS
Undeniably, aside from GAM’s unexpected drop in performance, both MVKE and TSW had acceptable showings at LCP 2025. However, with all PCS teams enhancing their rosters with quality players returning from the LPL, a gap still exists between VCS teams and their PCS counterparts, and this gap cannot be bridged overnight.
However, with First Stand 2025 selecting only one representative, from the very start, not many VCS fans were optimistic about the prospects of Vietnamese League of Legends teams participating in the tournament. But the MSI and World Championship will be different stories, as the number of slots has significantly increased. Therefore, VCS teams also need to improve quickly and come back so that Vietnamese League of Legends can catch up with their group rivals.
