After VCS made a shocking announcement in the Esports industry, the international League of Legends community gave a lot of backlash on this issue.
Recently, the leading tournament of League of Legends in Vietnam made an announcement that shocked the international Esports industry. Because not only VCS, but also many gamers from LCK, LPL to LEC or LCS all talk a lot about this issue.
So how does the international gaming community react to VCS's announcement?
First is at VCS areaa large number of Vietnamese gamers along with Vietnamese streamers and commentators all left “half laughing and crying” comments:
“**sad**… The rest of you, please try to save the prize.” – Commentator Hoang Luan shares.
“The time has come, there is still passion and enthusiasm. See the train team get back in shape” – Clear shared a photo with the streamer of “Red Chicken”.
“It's so crowded, you guys invited each other to play on field 11.” – streamer Bomman shared.
“Okay then, I remember I didn't tell anyone, right?” – player Noway spoke up.
“Var the whole tournament, every team is involved” – Commentator Duc Manh shared.
“If a team gets involved with the entire team like this, it will be disbanded without any more fighting.
How can we stop playing the Playoffs?
What the hell is happening here.
In the 8-team tournament, all 8 were involved, so let's disband and not fight anymore.
Help me, it's so hard to breathe.
The entire VCS tournament had 8 teams, but all 8 teams were eliminated.
Mr. Sorn ate the dragon and flew away the entire tournament.”
Next is Western League of Legends community like LEC or LCS:
“At least we know that the LEC teams beating people up wasn't intentional.” – Jankos shares about VCS's announcement.
“They should ban the entire VCS tournament.
Rip VCS.
VCS seems like it will never recover.
Is this the biggest drama in League of Legends history? I can't think of a bigger case than this one. It's not because it's a B-class case. If this were the West, China or Korea, it would be shocking news.
32 players are always crazy.
Currently they are only “suspects”, not “guilty”…
Some comments from the community Chinese League of Legends:
“Check the LPL and LCK too, many teams are doing extremely well too.
Look at their salaries. In fact, it's quite normal. VCS has no sponsors, teams outside of GAM basically have no sponsors. Most of them play for passion, and if they don't sell bets, where will they get money? With such a small salary, they are still criticized by the team and coach at any time… I feel like I can earn more money than the players just by doing some part-time job.
There will be people who will immediately tell you that LCK no longer has match-fixing, although they certainly don't know that Korea is the father of match-fixing in the Esports industry.
Match-fixing is illegal, if you don't get caught then it's okay. If you don't get caught, everyone in the club will benefit. Just split the money. No one wants to go to jail. As for LPL, the penalty for match-fixing is even more severe. To put it mildly, the LEC doesn't care whether he fixes matches or not.
On the (VCS) list there are quite a few young people, the new generation too but maybe they can't even support themselves on their salary.”
Finally some reactions from Korean League of Legends community:
“I watched the Vietnam Championship (VCS) and thought it was very good and had high expectations, but temporarily didn't want to watch it.
I can see the players participating in the Asian Games. This is true…
What the hell is it?
If everyone is a criminal, then why not because there are no victims?
It's funny, that's not even a small number, that's at least 2 people per team… Maybe confidence in the tournament will plummet.
I'm glad Levi and Kiaya aren't here.
Yes, this is the WWE.
Now is the time to seriously discuss who will receive VCS Worlds and MSI tickets.”
