During his free time before the VCS Summer begins, caster Hoàng Luân released a video titled SBTC Esports: Change to “Survive”. There won’t be much to discuss about the content since most of the drama surrounding SBTC Esports has already been well-known throughout the last season of the VCS.
However, there is a surprising fact that caster Hoàng Luân pointed out in that video, which is the “bad omen” of SBTC Esports right from the day the Fanpage was launched. That is, the SBTC Esports fanpage was created on the precisely unlucky day of Friday the 13th.
In reality, it cannot be proven that this is a “bad omen” for SBTC Esports at the time this team was established. But after a season with a “Penta penalty” it is clear that the community recognizes this “superstitious factor” cannot be taken lightly.
Besides the date issue mentioned above, caster Hoàng Luân also mentioned that the second trailer released by SBTC Esports was not a “lucky sign” either – the image of SE.Sena holding two dice (which leads viewers to think of gambling and chance).
As a result, Sena was dismissed from SBTC Esports right before the VCS Spring tournament amidst a drama involving a debt of 1.3 billion VND due to gambling and betting. After Sena left SBTC Esports, the subsequent days for this team were anything but peaceful with 5 consecutive penalties, turning “SBTC” into “Sao Bị Tố Cáo” (Star Being Accused) according to caster Hoàng Luân.
