SBTC Esports' newcomer astounds with a remarkable performance before the VCS Winter 2021 rematch, akin to a circus act ingrained in people's hearts.
VCS Winter 2021 has reached the second leg. Throughout the initial matches, numerous surprises unfolded, including GAM Esports - the reigning VCS Spring 2021 champion - currently only securing the third spot. Additionally, Luxury Esports, formerly GMedia Luxury, previously at the bottom in Spring, now sits second, surpassing GAM and trailing only the unstoppable CERBERUS Esports.
Ahead of the VCS Winter 2021 group stage rematch, teams hastily secure new additions. Notably, Team Secret, SBTC Esports, and Team Flash each recruit new members. TS and SE reinforce their Support positions with XuHao (TS) and Fear (SE), while TF introduces Jarvis (mid) and Marcus (top).
A surprising comeback sees XuHao - formerly of Phong Vũ Buffalo/Dashing Buffalo and CERBERUS Esports - return to the professional League of Legends scene as a Support. Previously recognized as a competent jungler, XuHao notably substituted for Meliodas during his time with 'The Herd' and served as CES' primary jungler in the 2020 season.
However, the standout among the newcomers undoubtedly belongs to SE's young Support player - Trần “Fear” Công Minh. This Support player made a highly impressive debut, immediately leaving a mark with an outstanding performance.
However, perhaps Fear's trash-talking before matches is simply a way to boost self-confidence. Everyone knows that the Support role, while not as flashy as others, is where seasoned players, even team captains like Palette (TF), Bie (GAM), excel. Furthermore, Fear will have to exert considerable effort to compete for a starting position against experienced CBL veterans in the official matches at SE.
There have been surprises as teams bolster their rosters for the rematch, showcasing newfound confidence in their new faces. With these additions, VCS Winter 2021's second leg promises even more thrilling and dramatic matches than the previous round.
