Yesterday, SofM’s team Suning faced their third consecutive defeat in the 2020 LPL Summer Split, losing to EDward Gaming with a score of 2-1. However, unlike the loss against IG, this time SofM had an outstanding performance, although it wasn’t enough to secure a victory for SN.
Although still struggling in the professional arena, in terms of try-hard rank climbing, SofM is making significant strides. It seems that after a series of recent losses, SofM is truly “taking out his frustration” on his opponents in solo rank matches.
Notably, yesterday, apart from one remade match, SofM achieved a 100% win rate. He scored 8 consecutive wins and surged up 14 rank spots, officially entering the top 20 of the Challenger ranking on the Korean server. This includes 4 matches played right after his loss to EDG.

Specifically, SofM is currently at 1260 LP in Challenger, with 509 wins, 424 losses, and a win rate of 55%. In another statistic, SofM has played 83% of his matches in the Jungle position, with a win rate of 67%, and notably, in the Top lane, he has a 100% win rate in 11% of his matches.
Maintaining his “form” with the champion Graves, SofM consistently boasts an impressive KDA when using this champion. Overall, Graves in SofM’s hands has an astonishing win rate of 88% recently.

An interesting point is that during his rank climbing, SofM often duos with DAMWON Gaming’s mid-laner – Showmaker, and ironically, the player who gets “trolled” the most by this duo is Canyon, Showmaker’s teammate.
