This is the first regional tournament to finish and there's a lot for non-PVS viewers to know.
This is the tournament where there's a lot of well known Vietnamese and foreign orgs coming to this tournament (10 to be exact). One of the more recent org coming in is VC (aka The Vicious Esports). They are an Saudi Arabian esports team and the team consists of all the veterans which are Dyann, SimonT, Sapauu, YmCud and Taikonn (loan from AL).
Throughout 4 weeks of playing, the race were mainly AL against TE, and the chase for top 3 were between VC, FL and TDT which at first it looked like FL were gonna get it but then towards the end, VC went crazy and left them to dust.
AL and TE were neck to neck each week, and it got even more intense as the tournament's coming to an end. Up until game 60, AL and TE had one final fight to decide everything. In the end, AL won and snatch the title away which TE were holding for so long during the first 3 weeks.
Looking at the leaderboard, you can notice that FCE's at 7th place. Being an FCE fan, it hurts seeing how underwhelming they played, comparing to how they performed in PGS Circuit 1, and PGS Circuit 3 and 4 will not welcome them but it will be VC. At least, I'm somewhat ok knowing they still have a chance to play in the global stage (upcoming PGS Circuit 2) to maybe have a chance to go to EWC if they actually do well.
TDT Esports was also a team that even though had many problems before the finals (10 pts deductions + 2 players a coach banned) showed that they're still a veteran and not to be look down. Their race to top 3 was so close yet so far in the end.
Finally, AL have protected their titles and become 2026 PVS Phase 1 champions. AL and TE will head to EWC, and both of them with VC will head to PGS Circuit 3 and 4.
