SofM “pity” to share about VCS after CFO's journey at First Stand 2025
One of the interesting points of First Stand 2025 is the performance of CBTC Flying Oyster – the representative of the LCP area in the tournament. Despite being judged as the weakest representative, CFO made unexpected victories against KC, TL and especially representatives from the very strong area of LPL. The victory of the CFO made the audience of the LCP area, including VCS, could not help but excited. But SofM has a different perspective.
CFO is having unexpected achievements and helps to raise the APAC area
Specifically, the coach of MGN Vikings Esports said: “This season has a island (that is, the gameplay is not a forte of CFO), it is very difficult to win them.
SofM admits that the present time is too difficult for VCS to win CFO
VCS audience also admitted that SofM was right
In fact, the victory of Team Secretwhales at APAC is a surprise, until now. However, according to many viewers, perhaps at that time CFO also takes time for members to get acquainted with each other's play as well as get acquainted with Fearless Draft. At the current First Stand, all have matched, so CFO really achieved strength.
The current CFO can be said to have reached the threshold of strength
Another factor that needs to be concerned is that CFO has very strong investments, when welcoming the return of the players who used to play at LPL. Junjia junglers also wore Edward Gaming at the right stage this team dominated LPL and then won the World Championship. Although not registered in Iceland that year, it was undeniable that Junjia's quality.
Meanwhile, the current strong VCS teams (MVke, GAM or TSW) all have certain weaknesses. Of these, GAM used to be the “head flag” but the APAC period of the VCS champion was extremely forgotten.
While the VCS teams exist many problems
In this context, if the VCS teams do not improve, the likelihood of VCS is absent in MSI is very high. But if the prospect of actually happens, perhaps the Vietnamese League of Legends community must also accept when the talon or CFO is too strong at the present compared to the common ground.
