LCP Playoff 2025: GAM collapsed before PSG, Vietnamese LoL only has hope for a wild card

After two days of intense competition in the LCP 2025 playoffs, the hope of two World Championship spots for the Vietnam region has officially been shattered.

GAM Esports - the biggest hope of the country's League of Legends fans - was humiliated 0-2 by PSG Talon, while TSW fell 1-2 to CFO despite being close to victory at one point. This result pushed all three Vietnamese representatives to the loser's bracket, meaning we only have one chance left to participate in the 2025 World Championship in China.

TSW was the team that left the most regrets in the hearts of fans when they played evenly with the number 1 seed in the region, CFO, and at times it seemed like they would end the BO3 series with a 2-0 victory. However, the lack of courage in the decisive moments prevented TSW from finishing off their opponents, accepting a 1-2 defeat.

On the contrary, GAM brought the biggest disappointment to fans. Their opponent was PSG, a team that had shown an unstable performance in the group stage. Player Levi and his teammates were considered the favorites when they had previously defeated PSG with a score of 2-1. However, in the decisive match, besides Levi who maintained a stable performance in the jungle position, the other four members all performed below their best. In particular, mid laner Emo became the "fatal point" when he continuously made fatal mistakes. In game 2, a mistake by Emo completely ruined the decisive battle, even though Levi was two levels above Karsa at that time.

TSW defeated GAM, establishing a 'new order' for Vietnamese League of Legends

GAM’s swift defeat left the Vietnamese League of Legends community “disillusioned”. Before the playoffs, many experts had assessed that Vietnam had a chance to own 2 tickets to CKTG, because PSG showed continuous instability. But when entering the knockout round, Karsa and his teammates seemed to wake up, defeating GAM with disciplined play and superior skills. This defeat once again reminded that, despite the sublime periods, the Vietnamese League of Legends scene still cannot surpass the Taiwanese in the regional playground.

With GAM, TSW and MVKE all falling down the rankings, Vietnam has only one ticket to the World Championship. However, fans are still waiting for a "dream" scenario, a grand final between the Vietnamese and Taiwanese representatives right at Tien Son Sports Palace (Da Nang). But the possibility is not excluded, this stage will witness a civil war between PSG and CFO.

Whatever the scenario, GAM’s failure and TSW’s lack of momentum are clear warnings: to reach the world , Vietnamese LoL needs more than individual shining moments. It must be stability, courage in key matches and a tactical mindset that can compete with the top regional opponents.
