Saigon Phantom wins the championship and a prize of $200,000.
Despite having to compete on foreign soil under the pressure of the home crowd and the demanding stage, the Vietnamese representatives could not be deterred. With a brilliant performance and top-notch tactics, Saigon Phantom immediately overwhelmed the home team and won the final with a dominant 4-1 victory over Bacon Time.
Saigon Phantom lifts its first international championship trophy.
Looking back, Saigon Phantom's journey to conquer the international championship was far from easy. Entering APL 2023 as the flagship of the AOG - Vietnam tournament, the team's start was quite difficult after unexpected losses and inconsistent performance in the group stage. But immediately afterwards, with the resilience of an AOG champion, they quickly improved and returned with a completely different face, successively defeating formidable opponents from tournaments around the world such as Bacon Time, V Gaming, and BRO Esports to advance all the way to the finals.
Saigon Phantom has always received support from family, friends, and fans.
With an outstanding and skillful performance not only in the finals but throughout the tournament, the "Most Valuable Player" (FMVP) award of APL 2023 went to none other than the exemplary captain and soul of Saigon Phantom - Lai Bâng (under the name SGP Bang). A well-deserved reward for the young player's dedication and efforts, with this prestigious title, SGP Bang has now officially surpassed other "prodigies" to become a new icon, a new legend of the Vietnamese and global Arena of Valor scene. In addition, the talented jungler of Saigon Phantom also received a prize of $7,000 USD.
