(Homeland) - GAM, in general, and Kiaya, in particular, display immense confidence despite the upcoming formidable opponent from the LCK.
The World Championship Swiss Round draw may not favor GAM Esports (GAM), placing the VCS representative against the formidable Dplus KIA (DK). With 3 world champion players - Deft, Canyon, and ShowMaker, DK is considered a strong team. Compared to Team Liquid, facing DK presents a much tougher challenge for the VCS representative.
However, being in a 'nothing to lose' situation seems advantageous for GAM. At CKTG 2023, the team advanced from the loser's bracket of the Play-In Stage to secure a spot in the Swiss stage. Furthermore, Levi and teammates previously defeated Top Esports in CKTG 2022 despite eventual elimination.
Facing DK, GAM's player Kiaya exudes great confidence. “The only thing we need to do in the upcoming match is to be mentally prepared. There is no 'fear' in the VCS dictionary. Even if the opponent is DK, the entire team is confident of securing the ultimate victory” - Kiaya confidently shares with the Korean media.
Recently, Levi and teammates have proven to be a significantly improved team when pushed to the limit. Firstly, they overcame the Play-In Stage after a loss to LOUD on the opening day. In the Swiss stage, they suffered quick defeats against Gen.G and Fnatic in the first two rounds. However, in the 'nothing to lose' scenario, the VCS representative rose strongly, showcasing skillful play against Team Liquid and securing a crucial victory to stay alive in CKTG 2023.
As mentioned earlier, GAM finds themselves in a 'nothing to lose' scenario, and with a relaxed mindset, they can overcome teams considered stronger. While theoretically, the chances for the VCS representative in the upcoming match are slim, VCS fans still have the right to place their trust in this team. Who knows, a miracle at CKTG 2023 might call the names of Levi and teammates in the upcoming match.
