Since the Global Ban and numerous dramas involving individuals and teams in the Vietnamese League of Legends (LMHT) scene, recently, former SBTC Esports star – “Factor Z” has focused more on grinding ranks. Notably, he has still showcased his skills with many accounts reaching the Challenger tier on the Korean server – a standard for assessing player skill in the LMHT community.
However, the situation is not straightforward, and he has never shown that he can truly distance himself from drama. From being banned by Riot for his Korean rank accounts to information surfacing about organizing negative activities on his stream channel. In fact, he has even had livestream platforms terminate contracts, suspected to be related to these negative behaviors. Nevertheless, many viewers from VCS have sought out the former player’s stream channel due to these matches.
Recently, information surfaced on a large forum about LMHT in Vietnam stating that he used “actors” to conduct matches in his rank. Furthermore, the accuser mentioned that he had not yet paid for the participation in these matches. Notably, it is not just one or two cases, but quite a few individuals have directly contacted his personal page demanding payment related to these matches.
Witnessing the incident, the Vietnamese LMHT community erupted in fierce debates. However, almost all comments shared one opinion: “Factor Z’s fault is clear, but many still dive headfirst into it only to lose money and suffer consequences”. Additionally, many feel that the evidence presented lacks credibility as it could easily be fabricated.
While it may sound harsh, as mentioned above, negative behaviors in the former player’s matches are not compliant with legal regulations. Therefore, if the incident truly occurred, there may only be a bitter acceptance as it will be very difficult to demand rights. As for “Factor Z”, he seems to have yet to learn from his experiences as he continuously finds himself embroiled in drama, losing the trust and affection of his fans.
