SE SofM is no longer a distant dream for many people?!
In unexpected developments, 2022 may be the last season of SofM still fighting in China. In the latest livestream last night (September 14), BaRoiBeo revealed the above unverified information and said that the investor of SBTC Esports is seriously negotiating to get SofM’s signature for the 2023 season. .
This can be true because BaRoiBeo rarely speaks incorrectly about a third party – especially when the object is SofM, one of the most vocal figures in the Vietnamese esports community. The founder of SE spoke in the context that the organization has just gone through many meetings to sue the entire personnel machine towards VCS 2023. BaRoiBeo bluntly stated that SE does not lack money, not lack of resources, but only lack of titles. stop.
The proof is that he has openly invited Ren – the head coach of Saigon Buffalo from April 2018 to present – to lead SE. This invitation comes just a day after Ren said that there was a party willing to give him a hard salary of VND 50 million/month in the next season. Buying a place to attend VCS from the beginning of the 2021 season, although the results have improved each season, SE has never played the role of a title contender. Most recently, they played sublimely in the early stages of the group stage but lost two consecutive Bo5 series and accepted the final fourth place finish at VCS Summer 2022.
But surely, if you want the service of SofM, SE and other parties will have to prepare a lot more money. Because the player born in 1998 has had six years of peak fighting in China as an internal soldier and once reached the top 3 of the LPL Summer with the runner-up of the World Championship in the same 2020. According to many unorthodox reports, SofM is earning about six billion dong/month at Weibo Gaming. However, after two consecutive failed seasons and unable to get tickets to Worlds, neither SofM nor WBG have made a move to extend their contracts, which will expire in November 2022.
Contract period of all seven WBG players
SofM has just returned to Vietnam after two years away from home due to the impact of the epidemic. Angel – SofM’s teammate at WBG – said that the 24-year-old jungle star is planning to marry his girlfriend after nearly 10 years of dating on this occasion. BaRoiBeo said that this is also one of the big reasons why SofM is hesitant to play in VCS or not. BaRoiBeo concluded that the future of SofM is likely to be decided after ending the contract with WBG after the 2022 Demacia Cup – the tournament is expected to take place in the second half of December.
Before moving to the LPL in the summer of 2016, SofM shone brightly in two VCS seasons. Here, he took on almost all roles in the squad (jungle, mid laner and AD carry) with the highlight being an unforgettable Final against Saigon Jokers at VCS Spring 2016 where his Full Louis fell. 2-3 in front of the army of rising stars Celebrity.
Some support SE’s decision to pay to keep SofM to help VCS reach international level. But many opinions want the brightest star of Vietnamese League of Legends to tour the LCS – a famous area of ”a lot of money” willing to spend millions of dollars to increase the attraction for economic organizations. Perhaps, SofM’s final answer will only be announced after Worlds 2022 – the tournament closes the curtain on November 5. Until then, all fans can do is wait and hope this player makes the best choice.
