The “One of a Kind” Achievement of VCS Players at the Worlds
At the Worlds 2024 tournament, VCS brought two representatives: Vikings Esports and GAM Esports. Among these, VKE can be considered a “new yet old” name in the biggest international League of Legends arena. This is because VKE is the team that acquired everything that belonged to Saigon Buffalo in the past and changed some personnel to fit the team. In VKE’s lineup, only Gury and Nanaue are new to the Worlds, while Kati, Shogun, and Bie are all very familiar with this stage. Notably, Bie has a special “milestone” to his name.
Specifically, Bie has become the first VCS player in history to participate in the Worlds as a member of three different teams. Specifically, Bie has competed at the Worlds under GAM Esports, Team Whales, and Vikings Esports. It can be said that if Kati is currently the most accomplished mid-laner in VCS, then VKE also boasts a support who is equally talented. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Bie is also the best support currently playing in VCS.
Bie’s Milestone is Tied to a Sad Day for VKE at Worlds 2024
Worlds 2024 will be the first time in many years that SofM returns, but now he is in a completely new role. SofM will not be directly playing but his students will take on that responsibility. However, many fans, both in VCS and internationally, hope that the former star of Suning – Weibo Gaming will do something special. Unfortunately, Bie in particular and the VKE team in general had an underwhelming opening day, partly because their opponents MAD are still a name too strong compared to the VCS representative.
Nevertheless, opportunities for VKE still exist in the lower bracket, and their opponent will be PaiN Gaming – a team that has also shown quite impressively against PSG Talon in the previous lower bracket match. This will be the last chance for SofM’s squad, and they will need to quickly regroup if they do not want to end Worlds 2024 after just two matches.
