Slayder might not grasp why international stages seem out of sync for him.
During the 2023 mid-season transfer, a major move saw Slayder, the sharpshooter, leaving SBTC Esports (SE) for GAM Esports (GAM), a powerhouse and leading titleholder in VCS. Craving international play, Slayder found a fitting home in GAM, enhancing their squad with his skills.

Later, Slayder joined Vietnam's League of Legends (LoL) team for ASIAD in Hangzhou, a series of fortunate events that thrilled fans of the ex-Team Flash (TF) star, now armed with more experiences. Yet, obstacles emerged as Vietnam's LoL team missed the Road to Asian Games 2022 due to documentation issues, and GAM didn't shine as expected in VCS Sunset 2023.

Recently, VIRESA and VCS League announced team lineup changes for the upcoming ASIAD LoL team, with all members from SBTC Esports (SE) exiting. In place of the 'Pink Chickens' trio (Dia1, Slayder, Palette), Kati (GAM) and the duo Artemis - Bie (Team Whales) were introduced.

For Dia1 and Palette, fans might have seen it coming due to SE's local challenges. However, Slayder's case is notably regrettable. Born in 2000, the marksman's longing to compete internationally and his greater experience compared to Artemis were overshadowed by his repeated disappointments in aligning with global success.

On his personal page, Slayder displayed his powerlessness and reluctantly accepted the authority's decision. Meanwhile, his supporters warmly consoled him, even suggesting he should find a way to break his unlucky streak. This advice gained widespread approval due to Slayder's apparent misfortune with international tournaments, illustrating that despite no apparent barriers, he remains sidelined.


While the advice given is partly humorous, intended to lighten the mood, it underscores the significant impact of negativity on athletes, affecting their performance irrespective of their connection to the issues at hand.
