"I feel like I have a special bond with AAAAY, and I always want to encourage him and tell him how I want him to fight. I think he is the core of the team.

Because when the team atmosphere is low, he is someone who can bring it up. He has the personality and intention to do so, but in short, I love him.

My philosophy is: we cannot care about the version, we need to make every image hard and understand all the heroes. I have always believed that hard work will lead you to your goals."

Said LEGIJA, before this match.

Tips: The winner of this match will be qualified for the playoffs

vo0kashu no way, they already have nephh as a foreign player

They used to refuse buying happywei, and if EDG doesn't qualified for Champs CHICHOO may leave EDG.

To be honest, they still need 1 guy could come forward when the team falls behind, just like ZmjjKK. Although kangkang's performance is terrible recently. Even whzy and rushia couldn't do this.

Yes most teams are going through a period of pain, and they are undergoing personnel rotations and tactical innovations

Their performance is very unstable you know that. If three of them are in good condition, they can win the game.
To my predictions, AG FPX TYL BLG will be qualified to Champs, and 2 of AG, FPX, TYL will play the Grand Finals.

As a result of BLG beated TEC with a 2-0 straightly, they has qualified for the VCT CN Stage 2 Playoffs, and at the same time, every team which gets 3 wins in Group Alpha will also be qualified.
Now the ranks of Group Alpha:

1. Guangzhou Huadu Bilibili Gaming [Qualified] 3-0
2. TYLOO Esports 2-1
3. Trace Esports 2-1
4. EDward Gaming 1-1
5. JD Mall JDG Esports 0-2
6. Titan Esports Club 0-3

Both TYLOO and Trace will qualify if they get 1 more win, and here are the other teams qualifiling possibilities:

• TYL & TE:
  Getting 1 more win.
• EDG:
  1. Winning JDG and losing other 2 matches: JDG gets a 0-5 and TEC at most wins 1 match.
  2. Winning one of TYL or BLG and losing to JDG: TEC loses all the 2 following matches.
  3. Winning 2 matches of the following 3.
• JDG:
  1. Winning all the following 3 matches
  2. Winning TEC and EDG but losing to TYL: EDG loses 1 of the following 2 matches.
  3. Winning TEC and TYL but losing to EDG: TYL loses to EDG.
  4. Winning TYL and EDG but losing to TEC: At least 1 of EDG and TYL gets 3 wins in total.
• TEC:
  Winning both TE and JDG, and 1 of EDG and TYL gets 2 wins at most, and JDG gets 1 wins at most.

你也不赖😋

During May, it had a saying that OF riyabtw would join JDG, and stew would left. But he stayed in JDG.

I remember he drank a large bottle of Coke Cola every day when he just come China.

It is used to describe vo0kashu's chin. V getting fat is U.😄

Yes, you can see former pictures of vo0kashu, a handsome boy. But now, emm, he's also handsome but a bit of fatty.

And again former post of Group Alpha: https://www.vlr.gg/510607/vctcn-pre-match-talk-show-group-alpha/
All contents updated. Enjoy Stage 2 and EWC guys😘😘

2. XLG Viva:

Free Question Time:

Nicc asks SiuFatBB: What is the last thing you want to experience in your career, apart from losing games?
Nicc: To me, it's that we won a match but I performed awfully, and audiences might blame me.
SiuFatBB: Conflicts between teammates. After losing the game, my teammates will have different ideas and it will take a long time to solve this problem.

SiuFatBB asks Viva: What is your most prominent problem in competition or training?
Viva: Performance in aiming and shoting. It will be relatively less now. There aren't so many time-outs like scrims and time to think, and there's no coach to talk to you, so there might be a lot of worries at that time, right.

cb asks AAAAY: Who is the most overrated player in this group? And why? (Except yourself)
AAAAY: You(cb)!
cb:Why??
AAAAY: Because we play the same role, I think your strength is far behind mine.
cb: Wating for me in Stage 2!

Spitfires asks Viva: Which player in the group has the worst mentality?
Viva: This question is a bit sharp... Let me think... In my part of view, I think it's vo0kashu, because he always buy Vandal without armor.
(While Nicc is nodding his head crazily)
Nicc: He's not actually having a bad mentality, he's just playing around and getting annoyed himself why can't he do it well.

Viva asks cb: Which coach or player in the same group has a more explosive temper?
cb: I think it's Fayde because I heard he will criticize you wildly because of some of your mistakes.
SiuFatBB: I think he might be very angry on camera, but he has a high tolerance in private.

AAAAY asks SiuFatBB: Will it affect you if your opponent stands up during the competition? And who really affects you?
SiuFatBB: I think there will be a positive impact. If you could stand up and interact with me, I would be very happy because the entire arena, including the players and fans, would be very happy.

Q4: Who are the opponents you most want to encounter and who are the opponents you least want to encounter?

• FPX AAAAY: Most: XLG, Least: None
  "Because XLG was the champion of Stage 1, and we haven't got a champion in CN, so we want to know how strong the Stage 1 champion, XLG is."
• XLG Viva: Most: AG, Least: WOL
  “Firstly, a very practical issue is that we also need to ensure our victory in every regular season game now, and we may win AG easily."
• DRG Nicc: Most: NOVA, Least: WOL
  "We have always felt that WOL are very strong, and when they play against us, their performances were very good."
• WOL SiuFatBB: Most: NOVA, Least: XLG
  "Every time we fight against them, we are helpless, so we hope to break through it."
• NOVA cb: Most: AG and XLG, Least: DRG
  "Every time, God V(vo0kashu) will get a +30 kills and beat us, I really don't know why. And we haven't beat XLG, and AG's XiYiJi is my friend, I want to play against him."
• AG Spitfires: Most: NOVA, Least: None
  "Because my former teammate monk has join NOVA, so I want to play against him."

The King of Weight

Do you think their new head coach LEGIJA looks like ardiis😂

FPX is going to Paris and win a champion in Paris again🔥🔥🔥

I think they are preparing for 2026

No, they are temporary rosters, they are waiting for their youth player Splash get 18 till August. 14th.

RIP
