According to a report by TheThao, VCS team GAM Esports is working closely with Riot Games to find a solution to Vietnam's woes at the 2021 League of Legends World Championship.
The top teams representing the region, GAM Esports and Saigon Buffalo Esports, were not included in the year-end event due to "travel restrictions" as they were unable to obtain the necessary visas to travel to Iceland on time.
But according to reports, over the past few weeks, GAM has been contacting Riot's team in Singapore via emails to find a way to circumvent these restrictions.
According to a translation by Vietnamese esports reporter Dat Nguyen, the GAM leadership reportedly leveraged its ties with Iceland to negotiate a settlement from the Icelandic government.
The organization is also eager to receive an invitation signed by John Needham, Riot Games' global head of esports, and a funding letter for expenses. These costs include round trips from Ho Chi Minh City to Reykjavik, legal costs incurred as a result of travel, and health and safety insurance for the duration of your stay in the country.
“It seeks to seek opportunities even if there are the most fragile hopes to reach it, and also urges the community to create the hashtag #BringVCStoWORLDS, spreading the impact of Vietnam around the world,” GAM shared on social media.
