GAM’s “Unprecedented” Achievement
Thus, the results of the VCS Summer 2024 remain unchanged as GAM Esports continues to be the champion. Notably, Vikings Esports – a name that seemed capable of stopping GAM’s dominance, and this was further supported after the thrilling Winners Finals, ended up suffering a dismal 0-3 defeat in the Grand Finals. Nevertheless, GAM’s championship is well-deserved in a match where they demonstrated complete superiority over their opponent. In fact, even VKE’s strong macro play was not executed smoothly, and GAM outperformed in macro play, making the defeat for SofM’s squad foreseeable.
With the championship of VCS Summer 2024, since 2019, GAM has won the domestic championships 8 times. Firstly, this is an achievement that no team has been able to accomplish across all major and minor tournaments in the professional League of Legends ecosystem. Even in regions where the skill gap between some top teams and the rest is significant (LEC, LCS), giants like G2 Esports or Team Liquid have also faltered when only considering the Spring – Summer split. The next achievement is 6 consecutive VCS championships. For those who may not know, currently, Gen.G is “dominating” the LCK but has only achieved 4 consecutive titles.
The Future of GAM?
In fact, Riot even had to post an article honoring GAM’s impressive achievement streak over the past 5 years. At this time, GAM has been preparing for the future to maintain their dominant position in the Vietnamese League of Legends scene, especially in light of potential personnel changes in 2025. They are also working to secure their presence in APAC tournaments.
However, until now, GAM’s achievements on the international stage have only been impressive and surprising. But in the upcoming tournament, we can fully trust that GAM will present a different face, at least to achieve the goals that this team and the VCS have always hoped for.
