GAM's victory can bring many intangible benefits to VKE at Worlds 2024.

GAM's victory helps VKE solve an important problem at Worlds 2024

With the victory over Movistar R7, GAM Esports became the second team after MAD Lions KOI to enter the Swiss round of Worlds 2024. It can be said that this achievement of GAM is very commendable, especially in both matches, they All played calmly and firmly, especially in important situations that decided the match. Although there are some mistakes in certain stages, overall, GAM has shown a clear improvement compared to the previous style of just rushing into towers and fighting continuously.

GAM has "helped" VKE a lot after completing the Swiss World Championship 2024

However, an equally important meaning is that GAM's victory also brings many benefits to Vikings Esports - the remaining VCS representative at Worlds 2024 this time. First, GAM's victory over R7 helped VKE only have to face 2 wildcard teams on their journey to find a place in the Swiss round. Next, and perhaps even more important to VKE, GAM entering the Swiss round also relieves pressure on VKE players. Now, VCS is certain to have at least 1 representative in the 2024 Swiss World Championship round and VKE players are also somewhat relieved of the pressure of having to continue. And when the mood is comfortable, it is not too surprising that VKE plays well.

VKE's burden has been greatly lifted when VCS has at least 1 representative at the 2024 Swiss World Championship round.

VCS is completely open to having 2 representatives at the Swiss World Championship 2024

In fact, the representatives of the wildcards group at Worlds 2024 performed quite impressively. First, PaiN Gaming really made PSG Talon sweat to overcome, or R7 even won against 100 Thieves - a representative from the LCS in a BO3 match. However, when R7 faced GAM, people felt like the level difference between the two teams was far away. Therefore, if VKE can surpass PNG, the possibility of VCS having 2 representatives in the Swiss round is very large. It is important to remember, VKE is the only team in VCS Summer 2024 that forced GAM to go through game 5 to win.

VKE's opponents in the two important matches of the Play-in round are not as great as MAD

With the psychological burden somewhat removed, plus an opponent that is not as superior as MAD, VKE is facing a better opportunity to make things happen. GAM called, VCS audiences also hope VKE will answer.
