As known, recently, the VCS Organizing Committee has announced the shocking of the Vietnamese League of Legends community, when announcing the postponement of all matches in the last week of the VCS group stage of Spring 2024 from March 15 to March 17. The specific cause is not taken out by the VCS BTC except for a “unexpected incident” information. This has made the audience compete “guess young”. There are people who doubt a similar DDOS case, there are also people who have doubted something from the updates of League of Legends. However, heavier are the doubts about a huge “negative case” preparing to explode.
The VCS BTC announced the postponement of all the remaining matches of the VCS group stage of Spring 2024 from March 15 because of “unexpected incidents”.
However, notably, on March 16, there was some information that Riot had investigated all eight teams playing at VCS Spring 2024, including the team that was officially eliminated, Rainbow Warriors. This information also said that Team Secret, Team Flash, Gam Esports and Rainbow Warriors are the first summoned teams. The remaining teams have also been summoned. However, although this information was labeled “Riot confirmed”, but on all official information platforms of Riot, there was no notice of the incident.
There is information that Riot summoned VCS teams and this source also said that Riot has confirmed
But Riot's professional League of Legends site does not have any information related to VCS but only “innocuous” ordinary community posts “
Although it is unable to say exactly anything, but another negative sentence (if any) can make the Vietnamese League of Legends and can make the 2024 VCS VCS tournament in a big problem. It is impossible to force the playoffs to delay for a long time like the matches of SBTC Esports last year. Therefore, this time, no matter what, the VCS and Riot BTC will have to have an early answer for all the audience as well as the VCS teams for the players to focus on the Playoffs of Spring 2024 and then MSI 2024.
But this time the VCS and Riot organizers will have to clearly notify the postponement of unexpected matches as well as specific information if they are really negative.
In addition, if there is really the appearance of negative as some rumors, this time it is possible that the VCS and Riot BTC will not be able to give a simple penalty like the previous SE case. Because this incident is sudden, and can be more than 1 team. If only investigating and only announcing the last result, may not make VCS audiences really satisfied. Especially for VCS, the negative incident is not a strange thing.
No one wants to appear the next versions of SE
But for the audience, it is probably too early to make any comments. Because, apart from Riot and BTC VCS are conducting an investigation, no one has evidence or any information that is authenticated. Therefore, all unfounded rumors will be able to affect the teams and players themselves, and at the same time make fans suspicious and can cause unnecessary controversy. The audience's job at this time, perhaps it is only possible to wait for Riot's final judgment.
