It can be said that players in the Esports industry in general and League of Legends in particular often have relatively short competitive careers, partly because the “veteran” players struggle to maintain their performance compared to younger talents. Therefore, if these “predecessors” continue to compete professionally, they usually have a fairly stable fanbase, often anticipated to deliver a strong “comeback for fans to cheer for.
Here are 4 ADCs with the longest careers in VCS who are still competing professionally:
BTS BigKoro
During his peak performance days, “Crazy Dog” was considered the number 1 ADC in VCS with his insane carry potential. To this day, BigKoro is seen by many as having reached a level of maturity in competitive experience to win championships and reach the finals of VCS multiple times, even participating in major tournaments like MSI and Worlds on several occasions.
However, it seems that “away from Palette is a storm” because after parting ways with his long-time support, BigKoro is increasingly distanced from winning championships and victories in VCS. Currently, both BTS and BigKoro have suffered 2 losses in VCS, and even the commentators and community do not hold him in high regard anymore.
GAM EasyLove
EasyLove started competing in VCS in 2017, but to this day, he doesn’t have many fans due to not having as strong a carry playstyle as other impressive ADCs.
Particularly, in a roster often filled with shining stars like GAM Esports, the presence of this ADC can be surprisingly overshadowed. Furthermore, since GAM does not play around the bot lane, EasyLove has few opportunities to “carry the team”. Even the times when EasyLove is mentioned the most could be seen as… “comedic” because this ADC has become a “bait” for GAM to secure major objectives in other areas of the map.
Currently, EasyLove is sitting on the bench for the young talent Style at GAM, and many believe that if he does not improve his gameplay and performance, he will have to watch VCS for a long time without playing.
SE Noway
Noway is one of the few ADCs with an extremely successful career in VCS, and even when reaching out to international tournaments, he left quite a mark. Like BigKoro, at his peak, Noway was also regarded as the number 1 ADC in VCS with his ability to shoot “burning machines”, carrying with many different champions, becoming a pillar at GAM and bringing numerous benefits to VCS at Worlds.
After leaving EVOS Esports, Noway became a streamer at SBTC, “venturing into showbiz” but still expressed his desire to continue competing professionally. As a result, Noway has been named in the SBTC Esports roster for VCS Spring 2021, and he promises to make a “strong comeback” that rivals his famous teammates.
SE Celebrity
Celebrity once reached the peak of VCS with the pioneering team of Vietnamese League of Legends, Saigon Jokers (SAJ). Although after leaving SAJ, the “celebrity” has yet to secure another VCS championship, he is still regarded by many as a top ADC in VCS with his competitive experience. Particularly, in a lineup where “anyone can carry” like SBTC Esports, a stable and safe ADC is very much needed.
