Closing the first phase of the AIC group stage 2022, although obtaining the opposite results, all three representatives of Vietnam including Saigon Phantom, V Gaming and Team Flash won the right to go on. However, phase 2 promises to be much more fierce when the teams have to “kill” for the ticket to the quarterfinals.
In Group A, Team Flash is considered to be “easier” than when outside KFC x Talon, Nova Esports is not an ominous opponent. The ticket winning, at least in the second place, is completely within the reach of the Flash team. Coach and coach Rainer will meet Nova Esports at 12:00 before encountering KFC x Talon at 18:00 on June 18.
Saigon Phantom will have a challenge called One Team and Valencia CF Esports in Group B. in phase 1, “the ghosts of Saigon” have won against these two opponents but obviously, when each game is alive as stage 2, everything will probably not be easy. The Vietnamese champion will meet Valencia at 13:30 before clashing One Team at 19:30 on June 18.
The most difficult is definitely v gaming. After losing to both Mad Team and Bacon Time in phase 1, V Gaming revealed the disadvantages that if they did not fix immediately, they could stop soon. V Gaming will meet Mad Team at 13:30 before the Bacon Time War at 19:30 on June 19.
Phase 2 will be played in 2 days on June 18 and June 19, with the top teams each entering the knockout round. The matches in phase 2 will be played in the BO2 format, in which the result is 2-0 will bring the 3-point winning team and the team to lose 0 points. Draw 1-1 each team will have 1 point. The international ban on international selection will also be applied to improve the strategy and diversity in the selection of the teams.
