In game 1, VGM uses a squad with the forest WISP while SGP has a pairs of Elsu – Iggy. The battle in the first time was balanced when the two teams were careful. However, from the 9th minute is a series of fighting phases that VGM is a more beneficial team. After nearly 18 minutes, SGP possesses a tyrant Caesar but in return is Fish on the board. With a marginal number, VGM performed a assertive mid lane, took away 4 networks of SGP and the game.
In game 2, SGP changes the way to join when fighting hard early with “cabinets” like Lorion of Fish or Florentino in the hands of Yiwei. Constantly winning fighting, SGP completely owned the game, and “snowball” thoroughly. The support efforts of VGM only help them extend the game until nearly 17 minutes, the time SGP flooded into the tyrant Caesar and then performed the wipe out, balanced the score.
In game 3, SGP is the active team and has the initial advantages but VGM with the mutant -rich generals including Nakroth, Lorion and Qi also make a difference to balance the game. The more he hit, the more VGM is on the body with an extremely uncomfortable squad. After more than 19 minutes of struggling, VGM has a complete total victory, wipe out SGP and then lead to 2-1.
In game 4, SGP used the WISP for the forest, Taara on the road and had Yue and VGM surprised the mid lane Valhein. SGP controlled to raise the WISP of the richest map. However, VGM also shows great fighting ability, especially mutations from Birdlb – Quang Hai, including a tyrant Caesar robbery situation. The two teams constantly clicked and released until VGM owns the third tyrant Caesar.
Entering the decisive game, SGP selected the Yorn – Zip pair and VGM also surprised Astrid for Birdlb. Once again, VGM is a better team in control. The amount of money is not much different but VGM pushes the pillar too quickly. Less than 14 minutes, VGM has created a “airport”. However, Red's Yorn is enough to “shoot”, helping SGP holding hope. It was not until the 22nd minute, when VGM owned the tyrant Caesar and then rushed to beat the main house, the game was decided.
In the end, V Gaming won a choking victory with a score of 3-2, thereby causing Saigon Phantom to receive the first defeat at DTDV in the spring of 2022. Although it was not possible to overtake the No. 1, these 3 points were also the motivation for V Gaming to continue raising hope to take the leading position in the group stage.
