VCS audience debating about Zeros
The evening of January 19 was truly explosive for the Vietnamese League of Legends community. Not only were there external dramas, but a shocking event also occurred within the VCS itself. Accordingly, former VCS star – Pham “Zeros” Minh Loc has officially been charged.
Many opinions have emerged after the incident was announced. Many viewers expressed regret, saying “if only Zeros hadn’t slipped up at that time.” However, in reality, there are also many counterarguments. According to these opinions, Zeros’ slip of the tongue is blameworthy, but it is just a “sufficient condition” for the former SBTC Esports star to “fall into the abyss”.
In fact, Zeros has always been a “ticking time bomb”
If we exclude the “slip of the tongue” and the “Global Ban”, Zeros could actually return after being banned in this manner. Before him, players like Tyler1 or Jensen had also faced similar punishments and all managed to come back after a period of “reformation”.
As for Zeros, he has been caught in drama and controversies from one side to the other. These issues arose due to the former player born in 2000’s inability to control himself, which clearly has nothing to do with the slip of the tongue. From the dispute over “salary debts without evidence” with GAM Esports to the controversy with former player EGO.
Any incidents directly or indirectly related to Zeros can escalate into very serious drama. In fact, many have opined: The Global Ban has made Zeros feel like he can “say whatever he wants, do whatever he wants”.
The climax is marked by law violations that have led to his current situation. At the time Zeros received the “Global Ban” sentence, he was 21 years old. In fact, the former SE star still had plenty of time to make a comeback. Yet, he chose the worst possible path and ended up paying a heavy price.
Many of the male streamer’s fans may argue that it was precisely because of the “slip of the tongue” that the former SE star lost his career path, and when he no longer had anyone to control him, things went awry. However, there were many better paths available for Zeros, and he has overlooked them all.
In these days, no one knows if Zeros feels regret for himself or not. But the VCS audience clearly feels regret for this once-prominent former player.
