After months of anticipation, the fans of Liên Quân Mobile in Vietnam are more excited than ever as the finals of the Đấu Trường Danh Vọng (DTDV) Spring 2025 is fast approaching. The focal point of this season is not only the fierce battle for the championship title, but also the remarkable comeback story of the once-dominant team, Team Flash.
After a lengthy hiatus following the DTDV Autumn 2021 finals, the resurgence of Team Flash in this spring’s finals not only signifies a return to form but also highlights a high-stakes matchup, revitalizing the excitement surrounding the tournament.
Remembering Team Flash
Fans of Liên Quân Mobile cannot overlook the golden era of Team Flash from 2018 to 2020, where they established a formidable presence and instilled fear in every opponent.
The autumn of 2018 marked Team Flash’s first significant step into the DTDV arena, where they decisively defeated Saigon Phantom with a score of 4-1 in the finals. This championship not only added to their trophy cabinet but also set the stage for a long-lasting legacy in the competitive scene.
Team Flash’s dominance did not wane after their initial triumph. They continued to assert their prowess by winning the DTDV Spring 2019 championship, attracting a record viewership of 497,025 concurrent viewers, a testament to their captivating gameplay.
Following that, Team Flash maintained their winning streak, clinching the DTDV Autumn 2019 and Viettel 5G DTDV Spring 2020 championships, bringing their national title count to four consecutive wins. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic during the Spring 2020 finals, Team Flash showcased their resilience by defeating Saigon Phantom, further solidifying their status as the reigning champions.
Transition and Challenges
However, the nature of esports is unpredictable. After achieving remarkable heights, Team Flash began to show signs of decline. The turning point came during the DTDV Autumn 2020, where they lost their championship title to Saigon Phantom, leaving many questions about the strength of this once-great team.
The DTDV Spring 2021 season marked a significant comeback for Team Flash, as they demonstrated their fighting spirit by reclaiming the championship title against Saigon Phantom in a match that fans labeled as a “battle of destiny.”
However, the joy was short-lived. In the DTDV Autumn 2021 season, Saigon Phantom once again dethroned Team Flash, marking a significant moment of transition as the “Saigon Ghosts” began to rise, challenging the dominance of Team Flash.
Future Prospects
Since their defeat in the DTDV Autumn 2021, fans have not seen Team Flash make significant contributions in any subsequent finals. The seasons of Spring 2022, Autumn 2022, Spring 2023, Autumn 2023, and now Spring 2024 have all culminated in victories for Saigon Phantom, with Team Flash struggling to find their footing against rising competitors. The prolonged absence from the finals has led many to question the future of this once-legendary team.
However, the doubts were dispelled when Team Flash, now rebranded as FPTxFlash (starting from Spring 2024), embarked on a new journey in DTDV Spring 2025. While they may not have regained their former strength, the competitive spirit and hunger for victory among Team Flash members remain fervent. Throughout the tournament, they have demonstrated progress and resilience, overcoming numerous challenges to reach the playoff stage. Ultimately, after a lengthy and arduous journey, FPTxFlash has impressively secured their spot in the finals of DTDV Spring 2025, marking a significant comeback after more than three years of absence.
The revival of Team Flash is not only a personal victory for their fans but also a positive signal for the entire DTDV esports scene. The heightened competition among top teams will make the upcoming finals more thrilling and engaging than ever, especially as Team Flash prepares to face their formidable rivals once again.
The DTDV Spring 2025 finals will be hosted at Tiên Sơn Sports Center in Da Nang, promising a grand stage and high-stakes performances. Fans are eager to witness whether Team Flash can reclaim their glory or if “The Saigon Ghosts” will continue to assert their dominance, maintaining their championship legacy.
The comeback of Team Flash in the DTDV Spring 2025 finals is not just a narrative of resurgence for a legendary esports team but also a testament to the unwavering competitive spirit and ambition of Vietnamese esports. Regardless of the final outcome, Team Flash’s participation has brought a fresh breeze, rekindling excitement among fans and setting the stage for an exhilarating championship clash in the premier Liên Quân Mobile tournament in Vietnam.
