Perhaps, in the current VCS community, GAM Esports is the strongest and most accomplished team. Recently, they were supported by NRG Asia – a corporation that owns the investment in a super modern, international-standard gaming house. We had some incredibly exciting experiences inside GAM’s common house – where the players live, train, and compete together.
GAM Esports’ new common house is fully equipped with modern facilities to ensure not only the physical but also the mental well-being of the athletes. The basement features a multifunctional area, with GAM optimizing the space by combining a gym and a recreational billiards table. The ground floor houses the NRG team’s office, and a traditional corner – where trophies from GAM’s various seasons are displayed.

The personal living space of the players is particularly valued, with NRG arranging a separate floor as the main bedroom with a bathroom design rivaling that of 5-star hotels. GAM’s professionalism is also reflected in their arrangement of separate functional rooms such as a studio for production work and a training room equipped with all amenities.

Even more impressively, GAM always knows how to make other teams envious with the numerous privileges they receive from sponsors such as Monster Energy, Logitech, TechnoGym, and Nanoleaf. It can be said that with this significant investment from NRG Asia, the quality of life for the GAM team has reached a level comparable to top teams worldwide.
Mr. TK Nguyen, CEO of NRG Asia – the parent company of GAM, stated: “NRG Asia’s goal is to always elevate GAM to new heights. We see this as extremely important because a training and entertainment space like this will provide the best for GAM. We strive to create an inspiring and enjoyable environment for the entire team, from the billiards table to the fitness area. It seems that this is absolutely true as GAM is currently on a 13-match unbeaten streak in the VCS.”
GAM’s COO, Mr. Izumin, also affirmed: “The goal of NRG Asia and GAM’s management is to have a gaming house that matches the stature, history, and achievements of the team. Not only NRG Asia but also renowned teams worldwide have such grand gaming houses. Building a gaming house worthy of GAM’s stature is one of our goals.”
As the only player in the current GAM lineup who has had the opportunity to compete abroad, Levi also remarked: “Based on my experiences from other gaming houses I’ve lived in, they may be larger and more luxurious. However, in terms of training, competition, and entertainment conditions, GAM’s gaming house currently doesn’t differ much.”
NRG Asia is a management and communications company representing up-and-coming esports athletes in Southeast Asia, established by a joint venture between NRG Esports and CMG.ASIA. NRG Asia has completed its first deal by acquiring the League of Legends team in Vietnam – GAM. With GAM being the five-time champion of the highest-level tournament in Vietnam, NRG ASIA will provide resources, infrastructure, and aim to bring home the first championship title from the World Championship for GAM.
