As we know, there have been many rumors regarding SofM becoming a coach for a VCS team, specifically Vikings Esports in the upcoming 2024 season. This is the team that has acquired the roster and competition slot of Saigon Buffalo and will officially debut to the VCS community in the new season. Vikings Esports (tentatively called VE) is a team established by Vikings Gaming – the internet café system that SofM has been involved in promoting. Therefore, when this team was announced, many fans believed that SofM would be able to participate in the VCS starting next season.
However, so far, all of this remains as rumors, especially since SofM himself has been silent about the matter. Aside from a few posts hinting at his continued passion for professional LoL, SofM has kept completely tight-lipped about any information regarding himself or VE. The team itself has also remained quite quiet in the ongoing transfer market at the end of the VCS season, which has been very lively. In summary, everything surrounding VE is just speculation.
Recently, SofM unexpectedly made a cryptic post. The content of SofM’s post consists of an image with the words “Coming Soon” along with a caption: “00:00:00 01/01/2024”. Immediately, this post attracted significant attention from the VCS community. Many opinions suggest that SofM might choose the New Year’s Eve moment to announce the official roster of Vikings Esports for the upcoming season, or reveal his future plans for the coming year.
However, in the same post, SofM included a comment that left fans a bit “disappointed,” stating: “It seems like I’ve tricked you all many times this past year.” Therefore, it remains unclear whether the “Vietnamese Jungle God” will make any new moves on New Year’s Eve 2024.
Regardless, it seems that in the new season, fans will see SofM in a different role. This could mark a career transition and may even impact the entire VCS. Whatever direction he takes, it will surely be worth waiting for the VCS community.
