SBTC Esports is making fans experience incredibly joyful days. Since their victory against GAM Esports in the second qualifying round of the SEA Games 31 for League of Legends, it seems that the “Pink Chick” has found the winning formula. Although they faced some difficulties, they crushed Team Secret, and recently Luxury Esports became the third “victim” of SE in the VCS Spring 2022.
It was thought that the LX players, having all the strongest names in the match against SE on the afternoon of February 20, would end the joyful streak of the “Pink Chick”. However, in reality, everything turned out completely the opposite. SE only lost to LX in game 1, when this team experimented with Vinboiz replacing Celebrity in the ADC position. Nevertheless, LX had to sweat profusely to achieve a win against the “national circus”.
Moving to games 2 and 3, with Celebrity’s return to the ADC position and the exceptional form of Spot, SE had no difficulty in equalizing and then annihilating LX in the decisive game. Witnessing SE play against LX, the audience could hardly recognize this was the team that struggled immensely in VCS 2021, failing completely in both Spring and Winter, even almost ending up at the bottom of the standings.
This victory continues to extend the “honeymoon phase” of the SE players as well as the coaching staff of the “Pink Chick” and their fans. However, because they lost in their first two matches against GAM and TS, SE’s ranking in the VCS Spring 2022 leaderboard has not changed much. They still rank below LX and Burst The Sky Esports (due to tiebreaker) and are only ahead of Team Flash. All four teams have 1 win – 2 losses, and the rankings are definitely going to see many fluctuations in the upcoming third week of competition.
After a convincing victory against LX, SE’s management, especially Teacher Ba, must be incredibly pleased. Manager Cao Le Tuan Tu immediately announced a salary increase for all SE members to reward their impressive recent performance.
Although their ranking hasn’t changed significantly, SE has shown signs of improvement. If they continue to perform impressively, SE could not only improve their position in the VCS Spring 2022 leaderboard but also become a formidable contender for the upcoming SEA Games 31.
