Start of the Split is near

Where is Vitagen?

In an unexpected twist, it appears that the reigning champions, Vitagen, have yet to secure a spot in the upcoming Split 5. The powerhouse team, that was led by the formidable roster of Ant, Dutchh, Itchighoti, Jomiie, Loco, and Balthasar, had dominated Split 4 with their exceptional gameplay. However, insiders have revealed that both Itchi and Loco have chosen to step down from the team, leaving Vitagen with the formidable challenge of finding suitable replacements.

The departure of Loco and Itchi, both influential players in their own right, raises questions about the team's ability to maintain the same level of dominance they exhibited in the previous split. With their exceptional skills and strategic contributions, their absence will undoubtedly leave big shoes to fill for any incoming players.

As Vitagen searches for new talents to join their ranks, the spotlight is on the potential candidates who will not only need to match the skillset of their predecessors but also integrate seamlessly into the team's dynamics. The selection process will be critical in determining whether Vitagen can maintain their legacy of success or if they'll face a period of rebuilding and adaptation.

With the start of Split 5 drawing closer, the anticipation surrounding Vitagen's decisions and their eventual roster unveils an intriguing layer to the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the champions of yesterday navigate the challenges of today, as they work to secure their place in the annals of SLE history once more.

Is Good Chi Yang Good?

Good Chi Yang, emerging as one of the successors to the legendary Good Chi Gaming, is poised to carry on the legacy of their predecessor. With Flay2Day as the sole remaining member from the original main roster and now the team's captain, the responsibility of upholding the team's reputation rests on his shoulders.

Recent matches have showcased Good Chi Yang's potential. In a show of their competitive spirit, they faced off against Good Chi Yin in a showmatch, rallying back from a game 1 loss to secure a 2-1 victory. This demonstrated their ability to adapt and strategize effectively in the face of challenges. Moreover, a subsequent victory against Black Manta further underscores their growing prowess.

While the team appears to be on an upward trajectory, the looming question remains: Can they truly resurrect the glory days of Good Chi Gaming? The legacy they inherit is rich with success, championships, and a fervent fan base. To emulate those achievements, Good Chi Yang must not only possess individual skill but also cultivate a cohesive and united team dynamic.

As they prepare for the upcoming Split 5, all eyes will be on Good Chi Yang. Fans and observers alike will be eagerly watching to see if this new iteration of the Good Chi legacy can reclaim their former glory and etch their own chapter into the history of the SLE. With Flay2Day leading the charge, the journey promises to be exciting and unpredictable, a testament to the competitive spirit of the SLE.
