Ahead of their last match at MSI, GAM\u2019s jungler, \u0110\u1ed7 \"Levi\" Duy Kh\u00e1nh, opened up about the team\u2019s challenges at MSI, the consequences of the 2024 match-fixing investigations in VCS, and the absence of a LAN event in the region.\u00a0 Levi shared how Emo revealed to the team that his mindset had been \u201cheavily affected\u201d by the live audience, something the jungler could relate to, as the team had been playing the whole season without any audience at all. Expressing his personal disappointment, Levi shared how sad he felt not to have an audience for VCS, the league for which he has a deep love.\u00a0 \u201cI would love to see [VCS] grow bigger and better,\" continued Levi. \u201cI really hope, with Riot's support, that day won't be so far away.\" Levi then acknowledged the challenging times the VCS region is going through, including the 2024 match-fixing investigations that have also affected his team. \"It's a very tough time for VCS, and I really, really appreciate any help from all the fans all over the world,\" Levi added, showcasing gratitude for the support during these difficult circumstances. GAM\u2019s regional dominance never translated on the international stage as well as it did during this year\u2019s MSI, where they made their opponents sweat for a win and even succeeded in clutching an upset win against the Brazilian LOUD. However, the VCS representatives met their end at the hands of LEC\u2019s second seed, Fnatic, in the last chance to qualify for the Bracket Stage of the event. But did so amongst the applause of fans on-site and at home following the team's impressive performance against Fnatic.\u00a0 Fans can expect to see GAM and Levi again at Worlds later this year, where they\u2019ll surely bring their best performance on the international stage once again.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/levi-GAM.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1219908"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1219908"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1219908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1220186,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1219908\/revisions\/1220186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1219914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1219908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1219908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1219908"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1219908"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1219908"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1219908"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1219908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
