Thus, another VCS season ends. But it can be said that no VCS season is as attractive as the spring of 2024, and there is no VCS season in the history that Vietnamese League of Legends audience has experienced many fluctuations and witnessed so many turning changes. It can be said that VCS Spring 2024 ended with the championship of GAM, which was the effort of all parties involved, from the team and the players to the members of the tournament organizers and Riot. The final between Esports and Vikings Esports also brings attractiveness and drama to the last moment.
GAM champion and will represent VCS to attend MSI 2024
But in the context of GAM, there was a “revenge” successful before Vke, at the same time winning the championship and winning the MSI 2024, perhaps many viewers also accidentally realized a factor: GAM in the final against VKE was very different from themselves when confronted with SofM and his teammates in the opening match of the playoffs round of the previous two teams. Even GAM in this final has some “outplay” time completely focusing on VKE's macro.

Perhaps, the defeat against Vke in the opening round of the Playoffs was also estimated in advance. Especially at that time, Emo did not really get used to the VCS atmosphere, while Easylove has not caught up with Levi – Kiaya when he has left Gam for too long. Moreover, SofM appears at Vke is an important unknown that GAM needs to neutralize. Therefore, the loss of the losing branch and waiting for an “easier” opponent and GAM understood as Team Whales or Team Secret is a safe choice. Not to mention, through VKE Branch, SofM and his teammates will have to confront the Central/TS. These are all strong teams and can force VKE to “reveal the song” to see how to overcome.
A audience jokingly about GAM may want to fight more matches, so he lost to VKke in the first playoffs of the two teams
And Kiaya is the name that has deepened into VKE's weakness in the upper line
Even, it would be no exaggeration to put a “conspiracy theory” that Riot could “intervene slightly” into VCS, especially with a season that was covered with suspicion and negative. Specifically, when GAM lost, many people would think that VKE (the team then defeated GAM) would be the No. 1 candidate for the championship. But then, Gam made “Miracle Run”. Not only brings maximum communication effects for GAM's “climbing”, but also attracts a huge amount of view for the final. For anyone who did not know, after game 1, 262k views, on the official YouTube channel of VCS and BLV Hoang Luan and Co-Stream.

Not to mention, although League is always a collective game, but the two positions of losing people of GAM are the middle line and the gunner are both rookies. Meanwhile, Kiaya – Levi still appeared. The more mature emo and GAM also have good alternatives when Easylove and Elio have been experienced players. Meanwhile, from TS to Vke all loses important positions. Vke is the heaviest loss among the four playoffs teams that they have to bring Fireblade – gamers who have just “solved the grass” to attend. And a player like Fireblade, perhaps as long as he was not constantly being pressed by Kiaya Solo Kill or poured out a great success.
Fireblade has skill but is only a temporary plan and Vke more damage than the personnel in terms of personnel
There are audiences also recognize this
Of course, these are just “conspiracy theories” given by the community. But it is undeniable that GAM has ascended the throne in a season that has too much to talk. And so, the performance of the GAM in MSI 2024 will be more “examined”, which means the pressure on Levi and his teammates will be even greater than before.
