MVK Finally Win a Best-of-Five at Worlds
They lost one as Young Generation in 2017 and one as Saigon Buffalo in 2022, then swept FURIA 3–0 last night.

Worlds the club has played, 2026 included
The Take
It took the club five trips to get here. In 2018, as Phong Vũ Buffalo, it played only best-of-ones, and in 2024, as Vikings Esports, it lost both its best-of-threes. Next is Karmine Corp, a team MVK have never met at Worlds, with a place in the Play-In final for the winner.
