On the evening of December 1, MGN Vikings Esports (MVKE) and SofM officially announced the change of roles. From the position of head coach, Le Quang Duy (SofM) will return to wearing the jersey to compete directly. The information surprised the domestic e -sports fan community when the runner-up of CKTG 2020 has retired from the arena for 3 years.

Not only in Vietnam, the news that SofM is "plugging in the mouse" to play games again has also received great attention from the billion-people country. The Vietnamese player has been with LPL teams (Chinese championship) for 6 years, leaving many marks. In which, the runner-up position in 2020 with Suning Gaming is the most important milestone.

The news of SofM's return to official competition quickly became one of the most discussed topics on Weibo. The keyword reached the top 36, with more than 150,000 mentions. In the separate game/eSports table, the above topic ranked 2nd and 3rd, just behind the event of the Viper gunner returning to LPL, wearing the BLG shirt.

Many topics related to SofM were also discussed enthusiastically. The unique jungle style, skill and tactical imprint of this player is still maintained in the current LPL. Le Quang Duy is honored as one of the legends of the tournament, the teacher who taught the entire LPL how to jungle.

Similarly, in Western forums, the above information also attracted attention. The return of a legendary player, who spent many years in the background, to the field received much attention.

"Looking back at the important milestones of my life, I realize that League of Legends has always been an inseparable part. And today, when the organization and the team members need an experienced person to stand by, SofM wants to live his passion to the fullest once again.

There were times when SofM doubted his own abilities and the reason why he wanted to come back. But life only lasts 10 years, and especially having dear friends gave him more motivation," the player wrote on his official Facebook page.

Starting to compete professionally at the age of 14, the player born in 1998 is one of the most successful Vietnamese gamers in history. In addition to domestic titles, SofM has also been successful abroad, leaving many marks in the LPL (Chinese championship). The highest achievement of the Vietnamese jungle god is the runner-up position at CKTG 2020.

SofM's MVKE is currently one of three Vietnamese representatives competing in LCP, the Asia- Pacific championship. Last year was an unsuccessful season for domestic teams. MVKE did not have any significant titles, losing both tickets to MSI and Worlds.

The addition of SofM to the squad is a major upgrade for the Vietnamese organization. In addition to his tactical brain role, the player’s skills and ability to analyze the game are still at a high level.
