On August 3rd, the Quần Ngựa Sports Complex (Hanoi) became the focal point of the Vietnamese esports scene as it hosted the FVPL Summer 2025 finals – gathering the four strongest teams of the season: NK FC Online, Sonic Gaming, FPT Shop, and Amita FC. After a series of breath-taking, dramatic, and emotional matches, NK FC Online once again grasped the championship trophy, setting a historical record – winning three consecutive titles at FVPL.
Sonic’s Stunning Breakthrough, Thành Hòa Breaks Scoring Record
We cannot overlook the tense match between FPT Shop and Amita FC – a “rookie” team that showed impressive resilience and determination. Trailing behind, Amita made a remarkable comeback with a score of 3-2, officially eliminating the Southern representative from the tournament. This victory also propelled Amita into the losers’ finals, where they faced Sonic Gaming – a team in top form after a crushing victory against Pro Gamer in the Knockout round.
Before the match, Amita’s captain Quang Cris confidently declared they would create more surprises, but all efforts from him and his teammates were quickly extinguished by a single name: Thành Hòa. This player delivered a stellar performance by breaking the tournament’s scoring record, leading Sonic to a nail-biting victory and securing the last ticket to the grand finals.
NK FC Online Holds Steady on the Throne After the Most Challenging Finals
On the opposite side, NK FC Online went straight to the finals from the winners’ bracket with an unbeaten record. However, in contrast to their previous easy victories, the final match against Sonic turned out to be the biggest challenge for the defending champions.
Sonic continued to show enthusiasm, creating a competitive match and even nearly turning the tide. But the composure and experience of NK spoke at the right moment. Player LHAT – the “prodigy” of FC Online – delivered a perfect performance by neutralizing Thành Hòa, stopping the opponent’s scoring streak. Meanwhile, Thành Man played cleverly, taking advantage of openings to score the decisive goal. In the end, NK won with a score of 3-2, making the match emotionally charged and thrilling until the last minute.
With this victory, NK FC Online officially set an unprecedented milestone: the first team in the history of the FC Online Vietnam Pro League to win three consecutive seasons. They not only successfully defended their championship but also affirmed their absolute dominance on the FC Online map in Vietnam.
Conversely, although Sonic could not step onto the winner’s podium, their journey in Summer 2025 was a bright highlight. From a recently restructured roster, Sonic has come far thanks to stable performance, flexible tactics, and especially the rise of Thành Hòa – a player deserving of being called the “ace” of this tournament.
Ultimately, FVPL Summer 2025 concluded with an incredibly thrilling scenario: a historic champion, a surging challenger, and spectacular performances rich in strategy. NK FC Online crowned not only through skill but also with a steely spirit and the unity of a team that has reached its peak. Meanwhile, Sonic with Thành Hòa left a deep impression, promising a stronger return at the FC Pro Champions Cup 2025 in Shanghai.
