2024 Worlds Runner-Up Surprises by Mentioning SofM
Over the years, SofM’s MVKE has not performed as well as expected. They still have some victories and have shown decent performances in certain matches. However, looking at the overall results, MVKE’s achievements are very difficult to accept. In fact, in 2025, MVKE was absent from all major international tournaments and ended up empty-handed in the LCP. But as a player, SofM is still remembered by many, including the recent 2024 Worlds Runner-Up.
SofM has been away from competitive play for a long time, but to many players, he remains the benchmark for certain champions.
According to reports, during a show when Xun was asked to think of the first player that came to mind associated with certain champions, he immediately mentioned SofM with Jarvan IV and Graves. Notably, SofM has been out of competition for a long time, and since then, Graves has disappeared, while Jarvan IV is still being effectively used by players like Oner, Canyon, and Peanut.
Xun did not hesitate to mention SofM with Jarvan IV and Graves.
However, in reality, SofM is still a player who can be said to use Graves in the jungle most effectively in the current meta that is trending. In fact, the victories of Suning or later Weibo Gaming owe a lot to SofM’s thorough control of the jungle when using Graves, making it a champion that guarantees wins.
With Jarvan IV, SofM even “invented” the meta of Jarvan IV with the Accelerated Q spell, which was later widely adopted, turning this champion into a machine that not only farms faster but also ganks and chases targets more efficiently.

2024 Worlds Runner-Up “Remembers” SofM but Completely Overlooks T1 Stars
However, it can be observed that among all the players mentioned by Xun, there is no mention of T1 – the team that defeated him and his former BLG teammates last year, turning the LPL representative into the 2024 Worlds Runner-Up. Currently, Xun is in the competitive phase of the regional qualifiers. It is very likely that he will have the opportunity to “reunite” with T1 “sooner than expected” as the LCK representative awaits in the fourth seed position.
