As is known, on March 28, the VCS Organizing Committee announced the list of 32 players of 8 teams playing at the tournament was put into additional investigation. Of course, in reality, all of these players are pure until Riot made the final ruling. But it is undeniable: this negative case has been and will be greatly affected by VCS, even completely changing Vietnamese League of Legends so far. In the context of “no team is completely clean”, which dark future is waiting for VCS?
VCS is facing a gloomy future after the announcement of the VCS BTC
Vietnamese League of Legends accepted to quit a MSI period
This is the most obvious future, and the most predictable. Among the 8 teams still have additional investigators, only Gam Esports, Team Whales and Team Secret are few people have to participate in the list and this is also 3/4 teams will attend the VCS Playoffs Spring 2024. Not to mention, the other team is Vikings Esports, almost the whole team must continue to be investigated.
The list of players was investigated too much and caused all teams to realize
At the present time, Riot and BTC VCS have announced that they will continue the playoffs of VCS Spring 2024. This is a remarkable effort of the tournament and Riot BTC. However, the question is: After that, what will VCS be like? And of course, the possibility of VCS Spring 2024 may end is completely feasible, but the representative of the VCS attending MSI will be something to discuss.
The possibility of VCS must leave MSI 2024 is very large
For example, SOFM's VKE had to recruit new people (and most likely GAM would have to do the same way when VCS did not have the rules of borrowing people like LCK), these “fire fighting” players could not have the quality and psychological quality as professional players. In case they get MSI 2024, it is almost hard to get good achievements.
SofM must post new people
Not to mention, in his notice, Riot representative completely did not mention the issue of VCS MSI 2024 in the current context. Therefore, everything after the playoffs ended was still open and did not exclude the hypothesis Riot and the VCS BTC wanted to handle the Spring Spring Tournament 2024 to make a final ruling and no representative of League of Vietnam attended MSI in China.
All teams will have to reform from the beginning and there are names that can disappear
With a large number of players and other members of the team suspected of being “dipped in indigo”, the teams must be reconstructed from the beginning. Especially, names like Rainbow Warriors or MGN Blue Esports with a large number of players in the additional investigation can completely end their journey in the professional League of Vietnam League of Legends in less than 1 season.
And the new changes will force the teams to get acquainted from the beginning with their new teammates. There will be players who can even leave their career. But the consequences or results it brings, as well as affecting Vietnamese League of Legends, no one has been counted.

The heavy penalty is waiting
With the scale of this incident, it is almost certain that a heavy penalty is waiting for VCS. And at this time, what VCS audiences are always afraid of may come: Riot stripped of the area of the area in Worlds or even there will be no less severe punishments to warn the future. Sadly, if this becomes true, then it does not come from the professional issue as many people have ever predicted but comes from the biggest negative sentence in the history of Vietnamese Legends.
VCS audiences once said that the poor team teams will be deprived of the Worlds, but now, they have to face that risk but in a very different way.
Because no one can imagine all 8 teams at VCS have problems, at least until the present. And if the case occurred, all 32 players were “dipped in eczema”, the penalty of Riot, no matter what, would probably be what VCS was forced to accept, when they made a negative case, it was probably the largest history of the professional League of Legends League of a regional tournament ever.
Faith lost to the audience
But above all, the belief of the audience probably has gradually cooled down. Before the list of VCS BTC was announced, fans of many teams were not named in rumors that were relieved. Then then fell to the end of disappointment. And scattered there were ideas that: Because the Organizing Committee of VCS has not announced the final result, everything also hopes.
There are still many semi -suspicious suggestions but it is clear that the beliefs of the audience have been seriously affected
But the problem is, the negative has existed and in the season that VCS audience is most expected. The actions of the players, whether anyone, has made the VCS audience extremely bored. The support once the teams travel internationally and for clean players will still have. But no one can compare whether they are still as passionate as before the negative suspicion broke out.
