In a recent ranked match, Cuzz accidentally teamed up with SofM’s 10k EGO account. It’s unclear if he has changed his name to Bin yet, but both the Korean gaming community and Cuzz have assumed this is SofM’s account.
Currently, SofM is quite a prominent name on the Korean server, being the only LPL player to reach the top 5 (top 2 belongs to another trainee who has not played in the LPL yet) in Challenger, and also the first Vietnamese player to achieve this feat. Therefore, Cuzz’s chat channel immediately buzzed with excitement over the appearance of 10k EGO.
Cuzz then recognized SofM, and some fans urged him to say a few sentences in Vietnamese to get acquainted. Previously, Cuzz had heard of SofM when the Olaf “Chain of Redemption” trend from the Suning star became popular in Korea.
Some players even suggested a few Vietnamese phrases for Cuzz to use, but unfortunately, they were all pick-up lines. Cuzz diligently repeated them without any suspicion: “Anh yêu em”, “Anh nhớ em”…
It wasn’t until he sensed something was… off, that Cuzz started checking the meanings of these Vietnamese phrases: “Anh yêu em means sarangheyo?”, and then he decided to look up a Vietnamese dictionary on Naver to take a crash course in the language.
Unfortunately, the match featuring SofM was canceled due to a player leaving during champion selection, but Cuzz still showed a keen interest in learning Vietnamese and continued to look up a few “flirty” phrases.
By the time he stumbled through the question: “Em có bạn trai chưa?”, the gaming community, especially Vietnamese gamers, couldn’t hide their excitement. Not only was Cuzz’s pronunciation quite accurate, but he also learned some very challenging phrases, all centered around romantic and flirty language that left viewers in stitches.
