The Vietnamese teams had the opportunity to participate directly in international events of League of Legends organized by Riot Games before then.

The organizing committee reduced the number of participating teams to 10, in return it will give 2 million VND / month to the coaches and athletes.

The number of teams participating in the competition continues to be reduced to 8, in return for the coach and athletes' salary increased to 3 million VND / month.

[2] Riot Games directly participated in the tour operation, the tournament returned with the name Vietnam Championship Series, the total prize pool increased to 1 billion VND 200 million, the salary of coach and athletes increased to VND 4 million / month .

In addition, VCS matches are held at GG Stadium - 6th Floor, Crescent Mall, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City built by Riot Games, instead of being organized online as before.

Teams not based in Ho Chi Minh City will be supported by the organizers during the VCS Spring 2018.

This is a result based on the fact that in recent years VCS has always been the dominant force of the GPL.

However, this only applies to Spring, and from Summer onwards Vietnam will no longer relate to the GPL tournament.

[4] On 15 March 2024, the Spring 2024 season of VCS was suspended due to "unexpected reasons that could affect the matches".

[5][6] Rainbow Warriors, one of the teams present, had all of their players suspended with people saying that they were Match fixing.

Rainbow Warriors were banned from the VCS and future Riot competitions and their spot was revoked in addition.

On 14 January 2025, the VCS announced its new format to accompany the transition back to Tier 2 league.
