As known, shortly ago, the Whales team surprised the League of Legends community when it was revealed that two foreign players from LCK were added to the squad. However, for a number of objective and subjective reasons, the TW has to recruit Optimus temporarily for the early stage of the season and the foreign couple can only start playing for “whales” recently. Only thing, both Dove and Sounda (two foreign soldiers of TW) have not been able to help this team overcome the current difficult period, and the TW is still diving in the lower half of the rankings with the number 2 win – 6 loss.

In fact, even the performance of both Dove and Sounda against Team Secret recently was not necessarily more prominent than the other colleagues on the other side of the battle line if not very far inferior to expectations. And TW still has to rely on the shine of Artemis. Immediately after the match, many audience opinions evaluated the performance of the Korean couple. Accordingly, there are many opinions that the two players have not really been able to communicate with their teammates. In addition, the skill level of this pair of players may need to be reviewed. Because, not needed to fight, right from the beginning of the game, Dove has proved more drowning than the opponent. While Sounda had a good start in game 1 also dropped gradually in the middle of the game.

In fact, foreign soldiers from LCK when they first moved to Vietnam, often difficult to adapt after only 1 2 matches. Even if there is a previous training, when entering the war is a completely different environment. Not to mention, Dove is not a young player or used to play in the top teams of LCK/LPL that he has wandered quite a lot of teams. Meanwhile, Sounda is the LCK CL player, no chance to fight at the main LCK.

Regarding the skills of these players as well as the ability to adapt to VCS, it must be carefully reconsidered and the audience may also need more time players. However, the group stage of VCS Summer 2024 is nearly over, and if the current central force does not make all the ability, the risk of “whales” losing the opportunity to attend the playoffs is very high.
