The whole team is sick, TW still won SE in both rounds of the group stage.
Stormy days have not yet let go of SBTC Esports. Immediately after losing to Saigon Buffalo, SE continued to lose to Team Whales with the same score of 1-2 last night (August 13). Although still ranked third on the VCS Summer 2022 rankings, SE’s participation in the play-off round is more shaky than ever. Witnessing the disappointing performance of the beloved team, many SE fans could not keep their composure. On Facebook fan pages and community groups, people criticize and criticize the somewhat cramped and unprofessional gameplay. I don’t know if it’s true or joking, but there are people who openly want to burn SE jerseys in the context that this team is being “heated” in the fierce top 4 race.
TW is the team that pulled SE to the ground on July 21 – the time when they ended the most sublime four-match winning streak in the organization’s history. And then it was TW who caused SE grief when both teams were in dire need of points to participate in the round of four best teams in League of Legends history.
Game 1 was so cautious that only the First Chien Chi appeared in the 16th minute. Since then, the knot has been opened, making the two teams more confident to collide with each other. Despite capturing two Elemental Dragons, SE could not keep up with TW’s proactive combat opening situations. In the 22nd minute, TW’s two ADCs defeated four SE members and lost no one to help them get a free Baron buff. The difference now is 10,000 gold, TW makes full use of it to take three soldiers to push SE to the limit. The pushers were so hot that SE fell into a lack of men in the second Baron dispute. In the end, they lost completely and lost the first game after 30 minutes with a score of 6-21.
At the fourth minute of game 2, Dia1 had an easy solo kill Glory to bring the First Chien to SE. It seemed to signal an easy game for SE because they knew how to exploit and beat Shyvana top on the TW side. Specifically, Nagiya was lying down up to four times in less than 20 minutes. In a post-match interview, Glory said that TW was wrong right from the pick and ban phase and couldn’t run a roster that included both Shyvana and Tahm Kench. After 30 minutes of snowballing, SE completes Tech Dragon Soul and accepts the opponent’s Baron buff in exchange. In the end, SE wiped out TW in the final teamfight and equalized 1-1 with a clear difference.
Realizing the loophole in the bot lane, DNK and his teammates successfully crossed the turret and got the First Victory in the fifth minute of game 3. Undeterred, TW’s wombo-combo lineup started to rise in the mid game. and won consecutive fights. The turning point occurred in the 27th minute, Celebrity surged without anyone standing by. Just waiting for that, TW used all of Ornn and Nami’s ranged ults to capture Aphelios on the SE side. Having the Baron buff, TW pushed straight into the mid lane to close a 2-1 victory after half an hour.
“The feeling is very happy because this is the last chance for us to get into the top 4. If we lose (SE) then we probably won’t get in” – Glory shared with VETV7 that he and his teammates are not feeling well, mixed with sound. The dry cough of many people behind the scenes. The ultimate challenge for TW (6-6) in the final week of the VCS Summer 2022 group stage when they will respectively face the defending champion GAM Esports (8-3) and the runner-up Saigon Buffalo (6-5). Glory said that he “will innovate” towards the best results for TW.
On the SE side (7-5) failed in the penultimate week, causing fans to turn their backs on them. It should be remembered that SE has never been in the VCS play-off round but still has the right to decide if it wins the remaining ½ matches against CERBERUS Esports (5-6) and Team Secret (10-2).
