As we all know, in the VCS Spring Finals 2020 held last Saturday, April 18, Team Flash surprisingly defeated GAM Esports to claim the championship title.
This result was beyond the expectations of most viewers and experts; even the members of Team Flash themselves did not dare to think they would be the winners, as theoretically, the skill gap between the two teams was too large.
Of course, before the match, everyone was certain that GAM would eventually become the champion. Commentator Ling Cao Thủ was no exception, as he predicted an easy victory for the black-and-yellow team.
There would be nothing noteworthy if the commentator, seemingly to add more conviction to his prediction, had not declared: “If GAM doesn’t win, just shave my head during the pandemic.”
And the result, as we know, was that this commentator predicted incorrectly and was immediately given a new nickname by the gaming community: Ling Cao Tăng, while also being called to fulfill his promise to shave his head.
Hair is an important aspect of one’s appearance, especially for a public figure like Ling Cao Thủ, making his hair even more significant. However, having said it, he must do it. Today, April 25, exactly one week after his bold declaration, Ling Cao Thủ live-streamed the process of shaving his head to fulfill his promise.
Luckily at this time, the weather in Ho Chi Minh City is still sunny, and the tournaments are nearing their conclusion, so perhaps commentator Ling Cao Thủ is not too worried about appearing on television with his ‘Shaolin Temple’ hairstyle.
