One year ago, EGO permanently left this world and Vietnamese LoL
In the Vietnamese LoL community, there’s never a shortage of drama. From behind-the-scenes scandals to major incidents like last year’s involvement of 32 individuals in negative affairs. However, perhaps among all these dramas, none has sparked as much discussion and sighing as the case of EGO – the former star of Team Flash and CERBERUS Esports. September 6, 2025, marks one year since EGO departed from this life and permanently left Vietnamese LoL.
When it comes to the case of EGO, even now, many viewers still find it hard to understand how such a talent could fade away so quickly. Perhaps no former VCS star has received as much regret after being exposed as EGO. Even a year after his departure and more than two years since he left professional LoL, EGO remains the only jungler to have shut down Levi while the GAM captain was still at the top of his game.
The story of EGO still sparks controversy in the Vietnamese LoL community
When the post commemorating EGO appeared, of course, the community erupted into discussions as if the story had just happened yesterday. However, most opinions now express only regret for a talent that “bloomed quickly and faded fast.” For those who may not know, EGO was once evaluated as someone who could definitely compete internationally and was even considered the “successor of SofM.”
“Death brings closure,” EGO may have made mistakes, but in the end, his conclusion is one that no one wished for this player.
