Rogue
The No. 1 seed of Group C is King Lec Rogue. In contrast to VCS representatives who have not participated in Worlds for a long time, Rogue has been present for the third time in this arena. Different from the old time, Rogue today came to Worlds as the current European champion after destroying G2 3-0 at the Summer LEC Final 2022.
The power of Rogue is made up of stable and experienced road positions like Odoamne in the upper road or Larssen in the mid lane, all factors that have come to Worlds. Their bottom lane through many meta also shows the ability to play relatively diverse and effective. Most importantly, a factor always raised his voice and made a difference for Rogue as a Korean jungler who used to wear Kia -Kia – Malrang.
Escape from the shadow of Canyon, Malrang with the mischievous style of Korean people has turned the Chaua forest into his own game. Controlling the beginning of the match, creating mutations in odd and effective fighting in combat, Malrang is always a factor contributing to the teammates to deploy the game when winning or rediscovering opportunities in the extreme.
At the first leg, GAM had a balanced match with Rogue when he pulled the game until 36 minutes, even almost could make something if he did not make some mistakes in the later stage. From that match, the more people saw the closed and uniform play in many positions of the defending European champion.
This will be an opponent that is not easy to exploit in the second leg when all their positions are very solid and mischievous and everyone has the ability to shine while the team they need. But in the upcoming direct confrontation, GAM may pay attention to the combination of Rogue's mid -jungle line to expect to be able to break this link thereby deploying two maps.
Top esports
Coming to Worlds with the position of runner -up LPL 2022, Top Esports has the service of experienced factors and even individuals who have reached the top of glory. They are also one of this year's World Championship candidates.
In the return to the world after 3 years of absence, very accidentally when Levi and Gam have the opportunity to share the same table with Tian, the old jungler who once won the world championship in Funplus Phoenix shirt. In that year, Tian had to say like a monster in the forest area when he took a step -by -step card of Levi and his accomplices, exploiting each small eye, every loophole of GAM at that time. This year when they came back, from the first leg they again spread the horror.
This is one of the opponents that according to GAM they had many previous training matches, so the understanding of both was very large. Looking at the top eSports in the first leg of the first leg, the Nocturne card of GAM is understood that they understand GAM in the palm of the hand.
In addition, step by step moving to know the situation of Tian and his accomplices is extremely sensitive. The first leg is like a spinning in the palm of Tes, they catch every detail whether they are odd or unexpectedly hiding. There GAM was easily broken the gameplay that wanted to be a person on the body, trying to find the opportunity to organize fighting with the opponent when encountering a monster competition, reading every step, putting each ping accurate ping in the position that GAM appeared on the map.
The most likely now is that it should be directed to the top line, targeting the fledgling position of the top eSports, Wayward and also our best point with Kiaya War, because of the fact in recent matches Tian tends to take care of the lower lane despite the performance of Jackkey Love is not too stable. On the other hand, Style and Bie are almost unable to win the road to deploy the game, so if you choose a wing, you should fight the same opponent so it is the upper line.
Drx
Drx is the No. 4 seed LCK, also the representative coming up from the starting round. At Play-in, Drx also had a match with another representative VCS, Saigon Buffalo. This is one of the rivals GAM to win if they want to raise hope for the next step.
From the first leg of the first leg, it is clear that the Drx is not an easy contract for GAM because the Drx is still brave of the Koreans, their certainty and skills are not inferior to their early shown in Mad Lions confrontations, Royal Never Never Give Up. Drx is not afraid of the early matches, they know how to respond promptly to the loss, especially the roads of the Drx are still very firm.
People always see a mutant Zeka, rich in playing and moving; A mischievous Deft and Beryl, competing strongly in the lower half of the map, is the premise for Drx to deploy the gameplay and ensure the winning conditions in the second half of the game.
Kingen is probably the only position that can be exploited, and in the victory of the Drx in the play-in round, he has not shown clearly on the basis and certainly in this road area. This will be a meager opportunity for grams to target and dig deep.
With the matches against Drx, it is never a good thing to extend the game, looking back at the match against Belveth of Elyoya, when encountering an unforeseen variable at the beginning of the match to lose advantage, the Drx waited for wrong exploitation instead of taking the initiative to find the opportunity to overturn. It also partly let us know if the mistake, the blue dragon can always punish deeply, and the first leg will probably be a label lesson. In general, it is difficult for us to win the Drx, but improving the performance is still completely in the ability.
Where are GAM and VCS compared to the world
It must be admitted that one thing VCS has not yet been able to become a force, nor will it be surpassed the representatives of North America. The common ground of the world skills has been approaching, but VCS we cannot escape the body out of the fighting style always hope that we are like that, as the initiative. We often think we can do it, without thinking about whether the enemy will react. That makes us in the early mistakes. This SGB has also suffered in the match against Mad Lions.
Looking at the way a Top Esports instability can still read each taste of the game to deploy, every situation of the move or the Drx is ready to improvise level 1 at the red charm, enough to see the gap in our play is yes. In the current meta when the early variables determine a lot of early situation, just one or two mistakes can go a whole match.
Like Saigon Buffalo, GAM also returned to the world after many years of VCS, which was a very meaningful thing for our Vietnamese representatives. And where to go, perhaps for the viewers we should only be happy there. Even if it is impossible to overcome obstacles to enter the Top 8, there's nothing to be sad at all. Because after 2 years we cannot go to the world, we can only try our best to continue the journey from zero, continuing to constantly strive.
Currently, international fans have been disappointed with the performance of GAM over the past time, saying that we have nothing left after 5 years of surprises in the world. It seems that many Vietnamese audiences also feel the 0-6 future of GAM is open; But all three representatives of Group C are very strong and an honorary victory is also quite distant. What we hope in GAM is probably not a bad performance in the second leg, do not be as weak as them in the first leg, so that if we leave the tournament we can still raise our heads to leave the tournament because we have really tried to dedicate.
