Kiaya – the upper line must master gangplank
Kiaya is definitely the top line with the highest skill of GAM in the two world finals, Archie in 2017 at that time was on the other side of the career slope, moreover, taking him on the upper road was more like “fire fighting”, when Stark was no longer staying with GAM.
In 2019, GAM did not even have a mid lane, Kiaya had to fill it with the style of two gladiators, and the audience still remembered the only victory of GAM in the group stage, also thanks to Kiaya and the Kled Hanh Lucian of Fofo.
Kiaya has long been called the god of GAM; Kiaya specializes in fighting strong gladiators like Rekneton, Aatrox, Jayce and especially Jax, but when needed, Kiaya can also use pure tank generals, it makes GAM's tactics very easy.
Meta is currently a central meta at the top line, when traditional gladiators return, the trio of Atrox, Gnar and Rekneton is likely to be chosen by the most, because currently there are not many new champions capable of replacing them.
Do not know ever since, but almost has become a tradition for many years, that is when the lines on VCS go to the world, but the other party chooses Gangplank, often lose more than win.
Another thing is that although Kiaya has a very good general, but like most colleagues in VCS only use Gangplank at an average level, and not a good choice to bring out when necessary.
Surely Gam fans still remember, it was another European team, Sprlyce, who won GAM twice, also with the Gangplank on the top line. The essence of VCS's play has always been a continuous tape and fighting, but Gangplank is a super heavy Counter general, we have seen whatever the VCS chooses the champion, the players who use Gangplank just need a safe farm and wait for things, they only know how to be helpless.
GAM must have a way to play if the opponent uses Gangplank, of course there are many things to take care of when you have to confront the runner -up LPL and the LEC champion, but the VCS audience is still obsessed when the VCS representatives lose to Gangplank.
Kiaya can be considered as the best VCS current top, if it is possible to control this final match, which has made it difficult for many Vietnamese teams in the past, then Kiaya is completely strong enough to carry the super -strong top line, without any heterosexual cards.
Levi – Kati and Mid forest Mid is important
Levi's performance in 2022 certainly not equal to 2017, the skills, reflexes and big hands of the jungler are more or less affected over time. Just looking at the past years, sometimes GAM is no longer unmatched VCS, especially Ego's rise also shows that Levi is no longer the number one.
As for Kati, there is nothing to talk about his skills, when he is the most comprehensive mid lane VCS 3 years ago. The critical weakness is that Kati is too lacking in international competition, Kati has made an appointment for Worlds many times, but when you have to confront all the talented people like Knight & Larssen, the skill is not enough.
Optimus in 2017 was at the nine times, full of experience, but in the final decision against Fnatic, still psychologically to the competition under the complete form, it showed the harshness of this tournament. Therefore, the forest midroads of GAM 2022 cannot be equal to 2017.
The strongest bottom line has ever had
GAM has never been strong below or hit by the bottom line. At MSI 2017, GAM let Slay beat Ziggs, abandon the lower lines and focus resources for Levi. Later at Worlds 2017, when Slay was replaced by a better quality gunner than Noway, the bottom line of GAM was not stronger, because their support was Sya – a person who was too inexperienced, and Nevan was inherently a fire on fire.
In 2019, the bottom line of GAM is much inferior, zin has never been a good gunner that can put her trust in, and support is a slay switch. Unfortunately, Slay then only beat the buffs remotely, when Meta changed and he was forced to fight melee generals to open fights, Slay showed the true immatureness of a horizontal hand support.
The lower lane problem is always very painful for grams, especially when meta always revolves around the gunner capable of carrying Carry to the point of 1 strong 9 match in the past few seasons. But at this time, GAM can be confident that he owns the best ADC, or can be said to be more confident than the strongest bottom line since the establishment of the team.
Despite the scandal and doubt when he was transferred to GAM, Sty1e has now proved he absolutely deserves to be the strongest power in the team. Sty1e's style of competition is somewhat similar to noway, that is, always using Hyper Carry generals capable of carrying a very strong team, knowing how to shine in big fighting.
Sty1e's champion in the summer is also very suitable for Meta, Zeri and Sivir, but when needed he can also fight long -range champions like Jhin or Ezreal, this is a very important thing, because many gunners have problems when there is no cupboard, making them almost useless if meta changes.
Of course, we can not ignore Bie, support is having the most breakthrough style of VCS today. It can be said that Bie is the main gear that helps GAM operate in fighting, when he always plays the role of opening the main bowl, with extremely smart moving phases.
It can be said that Bie is somewhat similar to Keria, with super wide generals and weird choices that surprise the opponent. We have found that GAM's support is Ashe, Pyke, Shen, Rell or Sett … almost no limit for Bie's general, and this is extremely important when you are international.
Champions like Sett and Rell's support may be the eraser of GAM, because they are all generals fighting early and opened extremely strong fighting. With the Meta priority for melee support, but Sett and Rell is not a popular choice throughout the year, it is likely that it will surprise the opponent, when Bie took out these two cards in this cabinet
How to choose the tactic
Although the GAM team in 2022, in terms of professionalism is stronger than 2017 and 2019, they lack an extremely important thing, which is the surprise and blur from the opponent.
In 2017, when I first went to MSI, no team knew who GAM was and how to play. Because of this, they can deploy the play easily, full of weird choices that make the big guys stunned.
Moreover, at that time, the big areas were quite disdainful of VCS, especially Western teams still kept the upper door, thereby being easily guided by GAM, typically TSM or Fnatic.
But when it came to 2019, this surprise was gone, the teams in the group stage were very much researched, so that they could catch the tactics of the VCS champion. Look at Sprlyce that year, for example, in the first leg when GAM wanted to play the 3 assassins strategy, then the opponent deliberately hit slowly leading to bankruptcy.
Although it has been 3 years ago, VCS has returned to Worlds, but the reputation of GAM still remains, and just mention them that the teams will think of the heterogeneous, the problem is how many articles and how much it can be used.
The impressive victories of GAM have previously stemming from the forest, namely Levi, but they will have to think more new tactics according to the current meta. Now, when the teams mainly hit the wings down a lot, because the dragon is too stronger, even if you have a little advantage from the forest, but the opponent can stack dragon from 2 to 3 children, it is also a cup.
Meta breaking is one thing, but it does not win is another thing. In 2017, GAM was very successful when surprised by the heterosexual cards, but in the end they still had to hit the meta in the final matches.
The year 2019 clearly shows the shortcoming without a standard squad, maybe Zeros and Kiaya in VCS is unmatched, only using the simple skill is enough to win, but when the world is missing a pure mid lane, as well as the pair of gunner support enough strong enough, it makes it difficult to deploy tactics.
How to rotate the squad will still depend on the coaching board, but with the current quality squad, there will be many options to rely on and surprise the opponent, Kiaya – Levi – Kati – Sty1e – Bie are all spearheads; And they are ready to penetrate Worlds.
