GAM makes its first change after Worlds 2024
For some regions like VCS, the 2024 season is considered over after GAM Esports was eliminated from Worlds 2024. At this time, the Vietnamese League of Legends audience continues to follow the biggest international tournament of the year while also paying attention to the transfer situation of teams. This year, the VCS is likely to receive even more attention as the region will merge into APAC in 2025. While other teams have yet to show many changes, GAM has fired the first shot even though the season just ended recently.
Accordingly, GAM has parted ways with AD Carry “Neo” Toàn Trần – the Vietnamese-American player who recently returned and joined the reigning VCS champions in the early Summer Split. Neo had played in the VCS and left some impressions. However, he subsequently remained on the bench, even during GAM’s matches at Worlds 2024.
Audience Buzzes About GAM’s Announcement
Regarding GAM’s announcement, the VCS audience has expressed a variety of opinions. Some people seem unsurprised by this news. Neo is still a talented player with competitive experience. However, he does not fit the playstyle that revolves around Kiaya – Levi of GAM. The VCS champions need a player who can play the weak side without requiring resources like EasyLove. Therefore, Neo’s gameplay has fundamentally differed from GAM’s philosophy for a long time.
Others jokingly mocked the former LCS player, as Neo did not contribute much to GAM this season. In reality, this is a waste of Neo’s talent and time, and it could even cause him to fade away due to not playing regularly.
GAM’s decision to part ways with Neo at this time is beneficial for both parties. Neo can seek a new home, and GAM needs to stabilize its lineup before entering 2025. With a player like Neo, he will undoubtedly have a brighter future if he finds a suitable team. It would be interesting if in the future, Neo faces off against GAM and potentially defeats his former team.
