MVK Esports’ Worlds run ended with a 0-3 defeat to Karmine Corp, leaving jungler Lê “SanSan” Quốc Khánh with a frustrating what-if. In an interview with Sheep Esports, the 19-year-old reflected on the series, his international debut and his hope to face stronger opponents in future tournaments. MVK lost both of its Play-In series against KC, finishing with a combined 0-6 record across the two encounters.

The exit came after MVK had won two best-of-five series during the Play-In stage, including consecutive victories over Brazil’s FURIA. SanSan saw those wins as a major achievement for a team he felt had been underestimated throughout the tournament. His assessment gives MVK’s campaign a brighter note than the final scoreline alone: the team had made its mark before KC shut the door.

Karmine Corp claimed the Play-In’s sole place in the Swiss Stage by beating MVK. The result also capped a difficult stretch for the Vietnamese team, which had to get past FURIA before earning another shot at KC. MVK’s wins over FURIA set up that decisive return meeting.

SanSan said starting Gury made sense because his teammate had played with MVK throughout the year. He also said coach Lê “SofM” Quang Duy wanted him to take part in a fourth game of the KC series discussed in the interview, but MVK’s 0-3 defeat meant that game never happened.

There is a separate detail in the coverage of MVK’s other KC encounter: a Sheep Esports post reported that SanSan replaced Gury for Game 2.
