At the Spring VCS 2024, SOFM's Vikings Esports is a team that has received a lot of expectations. Not only that, SOFM's Saigon Buffalo, SOFM also brings a collective that is considered to be strong enough to be able to compete on the title. In particular, Kati and Shogun are two experienced players fighting both domestic and international. And in particular, the co -ownership of the team is SOFM (and now the head of the head coach) – the only Vietnamese player to the present was the runner -up of Worlds.
As soon as it was released, VKE received a lot of expectations
However, until now, it can be said that VKE's achievements are not really convincing. SOFM's team is ranked 4th but the achievement is 4 wins. With a team like Vke, ambition is definitely not only in the playoffs. However, in matches with big teams, VKE did not show that they could actually compete on the title. Therefore, this team is generally not playing as the initial expectations of the VCS audience when they announced the team.
But SOFM's army has not really been expected
SOFM itself may also have a lot of pressure when the students play poorly. Recently, the VCS page has posted a very harsh “drying” of SOFM coach for his teammates. Although the match is not really determined as the situation after the match, it is predicted that it may be the confrontation between VKE and Team Secret. In that match, Vke was unfortunate 0-2. In particular, Gury jungler in that match continuously loses important goals when competing with Qiang.
SOFM itself is also under a lot of pressure from the poor students
Specifically, SOFM has quite stressful words for the students: “If you play games, you have to have an increasing spirit. Today I don't win people, I have to win people the next day. But today he is very disappointed by game 1, game 2. I don't know people playing for fun, or because of achievement.
Sofm “dried” straight students
Obviously, SOFM's mood is also the common mood of many audiences who support Vke. Because, this team has not shown any really outstanding performance, which is mostly based on the skills of players like Kati, Shogun. Granted, VKE is a new collective, but ignoring the cohesion factor, the performance of the players is not really max ping. And if not careful, VKE is at risk of turning on the playoffs to the playoffs.
