The stories surrounding SE are becoming even more serious after the Palette incident.
It can be said that never before in the history of League of Legends Vietnam has there been a season with so many twists and turns like VCS Sunset 2023. If the violated players are penalized, only those players will face heavy penalties, while the managing team must pay a fine, leaving other players unaffected. However, at this current time, the entire SBTC Esports team is under investigation by Riot and the VCS Organizing Committee. Interestingly, this is the year Riot took over and rebooted the VCS tournament from the Garena publisher.
Not only fans of this team or the VCS community are speaking out, but even the leadership of the team itself has made controversial statements. According to a high-ranking figure within the team, the dialogue has sparked debates among VCS audiences. This person not only revealed that VCS teams are on the verge of disbandment but also expressed the intention to 'press' the Vietnamese LoL community.
On the evening of 13/07, another incident related to SE occurred, plunging the team even deeper into crisis. Hỗ Trợ Palette suddenly posted implying that he had no connection to the negatives SE is currently being investigated for. However, it's noteworthy that Palette also mentioned he was kicked out of the gaming house, and the team has not paid his salary.
Immediately, the VCS community was shaken, and numerous prominent figures took to forums to call for support for Palette. Even a rarely outspoken personality on VCS issues, Lily (representative and SofM's girlfriend), stood in support of Palette. The VCS community continuously sent out hashtags to save Palette amid the player facing many difficulties.
Through the actions involving Palette, it's evident that SE is now truly a bubble of chaos. Perhaps, this team has genuinely crumbled, even before the investigation results from VCS and Riot are openly shared with the Vietnamese League of Legends community.
