VCS teams are causing a stir, even in the early stages of Worlds 2023
Recently, Team Whales has shaken up the global League of Legends (LOL) community with a groundbreaking achievement, not limited to VCS
The TW - BDS match has stirred up the entire LOL community. Earlier, the GAM Esports - LOUD match also garnered significant international attention within the LOL community
Within just 2 days since the start of the Preliminary Round of Worlds 2023, there have been 2 matches with peak viewership exceeding 1 million. These include the GAM - LLL match (1,031,013 peak viewers) and the TW - BDS match (1,015,028 peak viewers), making them the top-viewed matches of Worlds 2023 so far
This indicates that the VCS region is truly capturing a lot of attention from the international LOL community, even without counting livestream platforms and co-broadcasts from the LPL region. Despite less favorable results at Worlds 2022 and MSI 2023, the efforts of VCS players have earned the region's representatives a significant position in the international audience's evaluations
However, currently, GAM's performance hasn't been particularly good, and they only have one decisive match against R7. This is the opponent who defeated GAM at MSI 2023, and they are ready to repeat that, especially if GAM's players continue their disappointing performances lately.
