With a convincing victory against Team Flash on the previous match day on 07/05, Burst The Sky Esports had a strong chance to stay in VCS Summer 2022 as their final opponent was only a Genius Esports from the B league. However, a surprise occurred when GE completely defeated SKY, becoming the last team to join the upcoming VCS Summer 2022 after the Promotion Round.
It must be made clear that GE did not show any significant superiority over the representatives from VCS. The gameplay of the two teams in all three games was nearly balanced. However, on a day when Gloryy could not perform at 100% capacity, only Draktharr was not enough to turn the game around for SKY. The team that once reached the top 4 in VCS Winter 2021 was unrecognizable. The players of SKY all played very disjointedly in crucial team fights, leading to their defeat in the entire match.
With the victory over SKY, GE will participate in the highest League of Legends tournament in Vietnam for the first time. With both teams from VCS failing against lower-tier teams, this may also be a sign that the skill level of B league teams is increasingly closing the gap with the upper teams. However, it cannot be denied that both SKY and TF did not perform well in the recent Spring 2022 season. Especially for TF, despite the return of Slayder, this team still showed no signs of improvement.
The VCS community was quite surprised when both teams TF and SKY lost to lower-tier teams. This was something no one could have predicted. After all, TF has Slayder and Yoshino, who are experienced players. Meanwhile, SKY had just entered the top 4 in Winter 2021 and caused some surprises in the SEA Games 31 qualifiers for League of Legends. But the result is that these two teams have lost, and soon, they will certainly face a lot of personnel changes.
Welcome GE and ASE to VCS Summer 2022
Thus, the eight names participating in VCS Summer 2022 have been confirmed. And soon, both GE and AS Esports will have to prepare very carefully. Because their upcoming opponents will be extremely high-quality names, and surely, VCS Summer 2022 will be very fierce, much more than the B league or the qualifiers they just went through.
