The thrilling final night of SLS Spring 2023 concluded with the coronation of the Shadows of Saigon
Once again, Saigon Phantom (SGP) and V-Gaming (VGM) clashed in a fateful encounter at SLS Spring 2023. Rising from the loser's bracket, the reigning champions of Vietnam's Mobile Alliance prepared a resilient mindset to overpower the Black Swans with a decisive 4-0 score. However, reclaiming the throne was never a simple journey.

It seems the 4-game series against HEV was the necessary ignition for SGP to warm up before facing arch-rivals VGM. Starting with a dream-like dominance, SGP effortlessly defeated the 'second-place king' with a 13-3 score after nearly 19 minutes of battle. Shining with Elsu in hand, SGP's marksman had a soaring match with pinpoint shots. Not only possessing superior damage stats, but each shot also seemed preordained, skillfully threading through VGM's key players.

Nevertheless, the Eagles quickly affirmed that their journey to the Grand Final was not for mere amusement. In the second match, Hoang TD's Tel'Annas retaliated fiercely against Red with excellent positioning in skirmishes. In a seemingly evenly matched 22-minute back-and-forth, the efforts to catch the lone SGP marksman led them to their first defeat, ending a streak of 5 consecutive victories in the night's competition.

The subsequent match continued to be a tug-of-war, extending the series to 2-2 in the blink of an eye. While one team strove to claim their 6th championship title, the other yearned to escape the bitter 'runner-up' label that haunted them for years. Ironically, whether they liked it or not, they remained each other's opponents. And in past clashes, VGM always suffered a narrow defeat, clinging to the edge of victory.

Indeed, the contrasting scenario didn't unfold as VGM continued to falter with a final score of 2-4. On the day of the 'Judgment Kings,' the challengers once again succumbed to the dominating shadows reigning at the pinnacle of the Arena of Liên Quân Mobile. Holding onto their throne, SGP officially seized the Sword and Shield of Glory, becoming the next team after Team Flash to secure the national championship for four consecutive years.


Once again, congratulations on the spectacular victory of the young men from Saigon Phantom. Wishing the team to extend their valuable winning streak and perform even better in the upcoming tournaments.
