From the day VCS Summer 2022 starts to play, the Vietnamese LPL and LCK channels will have to postpone the broadcast schedule because of the priority of the domestic tournament (according to the rules of Riot Games).
In the spring season, the League of Legends community once argued fiercely about the issue of prioritizing VCS and delaying the broadcast schedule of the LCK or LPL (in Vietnamese). The reason is because according to the law of Riot Games, every region in the world must prioritize domestic tournaments and in Vietnam, it is VCS.
In the past few weeks, because VCS hasn’t started yet, Vietnamese LCK or LPL channels still broadcast live normally. But today (July 7), VCS Summer 2022 will officially open and have a schedule from Thursday to Sunday every week. Accordingly, the LPL Vietnam channel has also announced that it will suspend broadcasting on VCS competition days.
As for the LCK part, although it did not announce the suspension of broadcasting, the Vietnam LCK fanpage also actively postponed the broadcast schedule from 15:00 and 18:00 to 23:00 and 2:00 (the next day).
As soon as they saw these announcements, the Vietnamese LoL community had the opportunity to talk about 3 tournaments VCS, LCK and LPL:
“Get rid of the VCS circus, see it again at 11 pm.”
“This kind of thing will not buy the LCK rights any more in the future.”
“Dislike VCS, it’s like forcing others to watch VCS.”
“It is true that the domestic league should be prioritized, when there is Weibo Gaming, try to have Vietnamese comments for you.”
“Watching the LCK LPL it’s world class, now I have to watch the VCS that’s full of drama. Bored.”
“Suddenly losing views to LPL English, showing both is fine.”
“Copyright season and then giving up broadcasting to live garbage.”
“Watched Ba Ga this afternoon, the high quality tournament will see as many viewers as the previous one, but the low quality will have a few thousand views. The focus match was also flamboyant, as in the past, dozens and hundreds of thousands of points were focused. Final 500-600 thousand views.”
“Get rid of the VCS.”
“Buying the expensive LCK and LPL rights and then forced to give up the broadcast for the tournament, the station must be very hot but can’t do anything.”
“VCS plays like a rank player.”
“How much does it cost for T1 tomorrow and GEN to fight and cut the broadcast?”
