But for those who weren’t watching the VCS as a whole, the competition can be tough to follow. Don’t worry! If you are watching this article, you are probably also interested in the VCS finals.

Well look no further, because in this article I’m going to explain in five different reasons to why the finals going to be very exciting to watch!

1. The first League of Legends finals of 2020 in the world!

With the VCS finals being held on the 18th of April 10AM CEST, the event is the first League of Legends finals in the world of the 2020 calendar! With that also comes a lot of responsibility, but also most predominantly: guaranteed hype. The VCS region has been a stellar performer internationally, and many League of Legends fans from around the globe will watch what the first finalists could do. Not only fans, but also players, coaches and other various staff will look and see what the VCS is made of.

2. Closer than ever before

Lets face it. Back in Summer split 2019, we were utterly disappointed by Team Flash their performances against GAM Esports in the finals. The finals were not as close as everyone expected to be, and people had question marks around Team Flash all over the place.

Looking at this split only we can definitely say that Team Flash has been more competitive then in their summer season in 2019. In week two of the regular split, Team Flash managed to beat out GAM Esports in a very close series where the game score ended two to one. However, in the seventh week of the regular split, GAM Esports managed to take their revenge and beaten their opponent also two to one against Team Flash.

We can definitely say that there isn’t much of a gap between GAM Esports and Team Flash and it should be a very close series between the two opponents.

3. The four horsemen battle between (former) GAM top laners.

Zeros, Stark, Kiaya and Yoshino. What do the players all have in common? They are — or used to be — GAM Esports top laners. It will be very interesting, especially now that Stark finally made his debut in this split for Team Flash on who will be starting for either side of the teams. Will we see the younger players face against each other in Kiaya and Yoshino? Or will we have the experienced top laners in Zeros and Stark? Or even a mixture between then. We don’t know until the finals hit. In any case, the top lane of both teams should be an exploding factor in the series as both teams can mixture between one or the other top laner in what style they prefer to play for their next match.

4. Stylistic difference in play-style

While a lot of teams in the world can adopt playstyles from one or the other, the VCS does not coherent that same principle. Bloody action back and forth, tower dives all over the place and high amount of kills. That is the VCS for you. In exact ways; GAM Esports and Team Flash playstyle are very different from each other.

Whereas GAM Esports tends to facilitate their mid laner in “Dia1” a lot, it is very much the opposite to what Team Flash is doing where “Kati” is more of a utility player. The carry player from Team Flash is their bot laner in “Slayder”, who is the most pivotal point of the team. In GAM Esports side, the role of the bot laner is also the opposite to what Team Flash is doing. For them, “Blazes” is more of a silent carry player, and is more often then not the second or third reliable player that GAM Esports is looking towards.

Over the course of the regular split, it is very clearly that the playstyles they prefer is what netted them the finals spot. It will up to the team that uses their carry players to most to determine the winner of the split!

5. Thousands of live viewers

Whereas it doesn’t seem like it attracts in the western side of the world, the VCS however packs a lot of viewers on their main channel VETV on YouTube. With over millions of viewers in the regular split, the VCS finals will surely pack a punch with record breaking viewership amounts. For example: The most watched events on the VETV broadcast have over 2.000.000 total viewers and that is only the regular split of 2020! With that in mind, we can only look up in the future on how the VCS is developing with growing viewership.
