Vietnam goes undefeated in Group B while Malaysia scrapes past for the second slot into the final stage.
Team Vietnam has been an unstoppable force during the first day of League of Legends in the 31st SEA Games. They have defeated both Malaysia and Laos twice to secure themselves a 4-0 finish as well as a slot in the final stage. As for Malaysia, they managed to get through even after losing twice against Vietnam. However, they overcame Laos twice as well, putting them at 2-2 and through to the final stage.
For the most part, the host nation has been impressive on day one, easily dispatching both their group counterparts without much issue.
