Spot's actions continue to tarnish the image of Vietnamese League of Legends in the eyes of the international community.
While VCS Winter is gearing up, the end-of-season transfer market is also bustling as players' contracts expire. The focus of the LoL community is on who's coming, who's going, and who's staying with their current teams. Many big names like Nuguri, SofM, Doinb, ShowMaker, Canyon... are predicted to become 'blockbusters' in the near future.
However, on November 15th, one unexpected name drew some 'light attention' from the Vietnamese LoL community. And no stranger - it's Spot. For those unfamiliar, Spot is one of the most notorious players in the Vietnamese LoL scene. During his time with GAM Esports, he was accused by the team itself of sabotaging the team, disrupting practice matches with foreign partners, skipping practice, encouraging teammates to leave the gaming house and join other teams, and speaking ill of newcomers... To the extent that VCS had to issue a one-year ban against Spot while GAM declared they would seek compensation from the player. Currently, Spot is competing under the VietSun Esports banner in VCS B after leaving Box Gaming.
Despite facing consequences for his actions, Spot hasn't been able to shake off his toxic behavior. Specifically, in a ranked match in Korea, he played Ekko jungle. However, when his teammate Yone in mid lane went down too often, he insulted his teammate, referring to his mid lane directly as 'trash'. Afterward, Spot retreated to the Fountain and continuously spammed skills and insults in the chat until the team lost completely.
Spot's actions were discovered by a Korean YouTuber. Not only did they upload it to their YouTube channel, but according to disclosures from VietSun Esports - Spot's managing team, this YouTuber also mocked Spot, claiming that he 'is very eager to win, hence the exaggerated reaction.' Additionally, as disclosed by VietSun, someone saw the clip and reported it to the organization for timely processing.
It's noticeable that despite previous penalties and a one-year ban from competition, Spot hasn't shown much change. And if he continues to maintain such attitudes, his return to VCS A is still far away.
