Recently, according to the announced match schedule, “Pink Chicken” SBTC Esports has chosen GAM Esports as their opponent in the semifinals of the SEA Games 31 qualifiers for League of Legends. The other match will be between Saigon Buffalo and Burst The Sky Esports. The two teams that win these matches will advance to the finals to determine the representative of Vietnam for League of Legends at SEA Games 31, which will be held in Hanoi next May.
At this moment, SE is indeed a formidable force, at least in the context of the SEA Games 31 qualifiers. Since entering the second round, SE has only lost two matches against CERBERUS Esports and Saigon Buffalo. The opponent that “Pink Chicken” chose in the upcoming semifinals is also a team that SE has previously defeated. In fact, GAM has also lost in the tie-break match for the top position in the group.
It can be said that facing GAM in the SEA Games 31 qualifiers is no longer a significant issue for SE. However, the members of “Pink Chicken” should also be aware that GAM remains a very tough team in best-of-five formats. Meanwhile, SE has never participated in a best-of-five match since its establishment. The players of “Pink Chicken” may have a lot of experience, but they have never played a professional best-of-five match together before.
Therefore, when they learned that SE decided to choose GAM as their opponent, many fans of “Pink Chicken” were extremely worried. Some even suggested that this was a strong self-destructive move from the “VCS Circus.” However, others believe that this is the “universe of SEA Games 31” and SE could definitely make something happen.
However, when it comes to the decisive round, every opponent must be overcome, whether it’s GAM, SGB, or SKY. Furthermore, if they give their all and achieve victory against the VCS Winter 2021 runners-up, the chance for SE to create a miracle and become the representative team of Vietnam at the upcoming SEA Games 31 will be extremely clear.
