The VCS Spring 2020 Finals between GAM Esports and Team Flash concluded with a truly unexpected result: Team Flash became the new champions of professional League of Legends in Vietnam after defeating GAM Esports with a score of 3-2.
With a result beyond expectations, the aftermath of this match is indeed substantial, as even among professionals, few dared to place their trust in Team Flash, except for commentator Lê Khôi.
Meanwhile, another commentator must be crying as he had carelessly claimed he was ready to “shave his head” if Team Flash could win the championship. And the result is something everyone is already aware of.
The happiest people today are none other than Team Flash and their fans. Not only did they achieve a historic feat by becoming the VCS champions for the first time, but this victory also holds immense significance as they were considered the underdogs and had to compete under tremendous pressure from GAM’s top stars like Kiaya, Dia1, Levi, Zeros…
As for the League of Legends community in Vietnam, aside from GAM Esports fans, everyone likely had a sleepless night, not out of love or hate, but because both teams delivered an exciting, dramatic match from start to finish. And this truly exceeded the expectations of most viewers, who thought it was only a matter of time before GAM Esports would naturally win.
Discussing the reasons for the defeat of what is considered the strongest League of Legends team in Vietnam at this time, many opinions agree that GAM was too overconfident, even showing signs of underestimating their opponent.
Meanwhile, Team Flash members, although acknowledging that “there was no chance of winning”, did not let that mean they would give up. On the contrary, they showcased an engaging playstyle, with seamless coordination and an incredibly solid mentality.
However, the glory of Team Flash’s victory did not shine across the sky, as there is still a figure who always knows how to create highlights in the key matches of League of Legends: commentator Hoàng Luân.
Being one of the most confident in GAM’s strength, as mentioned above, the veteran commentator from VETV made very definite predictions about GAM’s absolute victory before the Finals took place, even suggesting that Team Flash only had a 10% chance of winning in this matchup.
Although labeled as “always wrong in predictions”, few truly believe that the “Pelu curse” could topple a GAM Esports that stands as the undefeated king of VCS. Yet, that happened. It is essential to emphasize that vague factors like GAM being affected by Hoàng Luân’s “losing aura” are unfounded, but the commentator’s notorious incorrect prediction rate is well-known, and that’s why the result of the match between GAM Esports and Team Flash made “Pelu’s house shine the brightest tonight.”
A reverse prediction once could be a coincidence, two wrong predictions could be bad luck, but being wrong for the nth time is indeed not something everyone has the magic to achieve…
