As the “unmatched” team of the Vietnam Mobile League, Saigon Phantom is expected to be the first flag in AIC 2022. Falling into Group B with One Team, which was “wise in the market” and a Valencia CF Esports seed No. 3 in Thailand, “Sai Thanh ghosts” seemed to be easy to continue.
In fact, Saigon Phantom has gone through the stage 1 in the group stage smoothly with 3 wins, including the flip against Valencia despite losing 3 roads and destroying One Team convincing. However, phase 2 is the opposite story.
Saigon Phantom was strangled before a “molting” One Team compared to the group stage. In both games, the “ghosts of Saigon” proved to be lost in front of the defending champion of Taipei China at the stage of moving and fighting.
Pushed in a position forced to win Valencia, Saigon Phantom seemed to have had psychological problems and lost too easily. In both games, the No. 1 team of the fame arena allows the opponent to create a “airport” and a huge difference in the number of defeated lives. Especially to mention game 1 when they lose even though all 5 members choose “general cabinet”.
With 0 points after 2 matches in phase 2, Saigon Phantom ranked at the end of Group B and officially stopped at AIC 2022. This is really no one expected by the “ghosts of Saigon”, which are classified as a bright candidate for the championship.
