Having fought together in many domestic and international arenas, and achieved significant glory, Zeros and the players who have either donned the Dashing Buffalo jersey like BigKoro and Palette… have always maintained a very close relationship, even though they are now all in different places.
Recently, amidst the ongoing transfer saga of Zeros, he playfully “threw a smoke bomb” by hinting that the old Phong Vũ Buffalo roster may reunite.
Of course, this was just a light-hearted joke from Zeros, on the occasion that the former members of Phong Vũ Buffalo had the opportunity to meet up for a day out. However, fans are not stopping at just this playful banter.
Many gamers have taken this opportunity to express their desire to see Zeros return in the Dashing Buffalo colors, especially after he was officially placed on the transfer list of GAM Esports.
Alongside GAM Esports, Dashing Buffalo is also the most successful Vietnamese League of Legends team in the last five years, with 2 VCS championships and 3 international tournament appearances (Worlds 2017, Worlds 2018, and MSI 2019).
The impressive record and the pinnacle of glory for Dashing Buffalo in the past have mostly featured Zeros. It cannot be denied that Naul, BigKoro, and Palette are all top stars, but Zeros is the perfect piece for an undefeated “Buffalo Herd” in the VCS, and has even caused grief for European representatives like Fnatic and G2 Esports on multiple occasions.
However, turning hopes into reality is not an easy feat. The current transfer value of Zeros is very high, and according to many sources, the amount that other teams will have to spend to secure the signature of the Demon King from GAM will be no less than 1 billion VND. Not to mention the salary that this player is currently receiving is also among the highest in the VCS.
For a team not too lavish in finances like Dashing Buffalo currently, retaining stars like Naul and BigKoro is already a challenging story, and the prospect of signing a blockbuster like Zeros seems even more far-fetched.
The only hope that Dashing Buffalo fans can cling to right now is whether Zeros is willing to accept a pay cut and reduced benefits to return to compete alongside his former teammates with whom he was once very close.
Additionally, despite his fluctuating performance, Zeros’ caliber has been established, and surely many teams in the VCS are fiercely competing to secure this star’s signature, making the vision of Zeros reuniting with Dashing Buffalo seem even more distant unless some miracle happens.
