Sai Thanh buffalo after returning from MSI is expected to be ready to sell to VCS, but the reality does not show that. They played extremely weakly, diving at the bottom of the rankings, the prospect could not attend the Playoffs appeared in front of the army of coach Nguyen Van Trong.
However, SGB has returned to the defeat victory, thereby putting one foot in the playoffs after the group stage ends. 8 wins – 6 losses is not really commensurate with the expectations of the audience, but it is also the first success in bringing the icon of the red buffalo back to the world playground.
Entering the Playoffs round, because GAM selected SBTC as the opponent, SGB had to fight with hidden secret. Before a Secret team broke the psychological crumbling in the last week, Shogun and his seniors were not difficult to get a 3-0 victory, the moment Gragas in Hiro's hands rolled his stomach back to the fight was also the time when Buffalo put half a leg to Worlds.
In the final of Thang Branch, SGB clashed GAM, recreated the final of VCS Xuan 2021 – 2022. GAM was the one who took the lead in game 1, Aphelios in Shogun's hand recorded the Pentakill to bring the match to the balance position, GAM once again rise in game 3, Song Nguyet warrior in the hands of the General removed in game 4 & 5, thereby officially bringing Saigon Buffalo to CKTG.
The victory of defeating GAM has pleased the Vietnamese League of Legends community; It marked a big turning point in the history of the two teams, in addition to sending a sharp message for Gumayusi & Keria – two Shogun & Taki rivals in international tournaments. The heat of that victory also mentioned the European king G2 Esports, causing the old general Jankos to sweat.
Sitting in the final final, Saigon Buffalo has the opportunity to study the Esports Gam more, because GAM has to hit the Bo5 series with Secret to have the opportunity to participate in Worlds. However, the SCRET 3-0 neatlin to see SGB again.
GAM7 – The 7th championship for GAM, the 6th for Levi, and other tons of record tons are waiting for GAM to break. When the audience most believed in SGB, they disappointed us; The whole team Choke, Hasmed cosplay Nper, Levi in the spring crushed Beanj, Shogun was not shot, SGB broke after only 3 games, had to pity to look at GAM to the championship.
Immediately after the final closed, coach Ren made an eloquent statement, Saigon Buffalo will be the first team to make a miracle, the No. 2 VCS seed will enter the group stage of this year's Worlds, if he cannot do he will lose the coach seat at Saigon Buffalo.
The same thing has previously happened, when Ren bet the coach chair into the 1 -capacity gamble attending the Worlds of the buffalo. “Vietnamese people are not bad”, Ren can do it, which is the basis for us to trust the team that has reached the top 6 MSI.
At the starting round, SGB is not easy to overcome, because the opponents are all horny names. Royal Never Never Give Up & Seed No. 4 LCK – Dragonx is almost sure to go straight to the group stage. The war for the remaining 2 tickets will be a competition between 10 teams, coming from many different areas.
These names include Brazilian champion – Loud, Latin American champion – Isurus, Turkish champion Istanbul Wildcats, Ocean champion – Chiefs Esports Club, Detonation Focusme – North American seed Evil Geniuses, Beyond Gaming No. 2 seeds, and final are 2 names Lions and Fnatic.
In general, in addition to the Wild Card areas, it is difficult for us to be confident that it will surpass the European or North American teams if you enter the Bo5, do not forget that Beyond Gaming is not lost too much, or as DFM has made it difficult for SGB in the last MSI. It can be seen that our goals are within reach, but to achieve the goal will depend heavily on the drawing of the table, the performance of the players in the Bo1 series.
The power of SGB is now making fans worried by the performance of captain Hasmed in the final; Besides Beanj's psychology is also often unstable. It is Beanj that is a major cause of SGB's defeat at MSI 2021 in the match against RNG, if Beanj calm down and play more firmly, a victory may have come to the buffalo.
However, from an optimistic perspective, Vietnamese audiences still expect the duo below Shogun – Taki, who sealed Gumayusi during the summer period. Shogun's ability to shoot is the key to help SGB stand; Looking at the performance of General Shogun at the recent MSI, we also somewhat believed in young talent 2K4 Red Buffalo House.
Besides, it is impossible to ignore the great frog in the middle. In a way, this summer's Francgy play has been much better, a series of bo5 and grams at the final of the losing branch is the most obvious evidence, good Farm frog, good roam frog, top Combat frog; Unfortunately, Froggy is not a player who maintains long -term stability.
In general, Saigon Buffalo is still a strong team in the starting round, they have a quality person, have a coach with a classic brain; Although other rivals are not weak, SGB is not the name easily overcome. The ability to win the first place to go straight is quite unlikely, but with the burning desire among each member, the MSI resonance is molded, the spirit of VCS can believe that SGB will be the first team of Vietnam to overcome the play-in round at the Worlds tournament.
