It seems that the conclusion of the Spring professional tournament has left many professional players feeling a bit “anxious”, and one of the most popular ways to relieve this boredom is by playing Teamfight Tactics.
For SofM, although he has experienced quite a few auto-battle genres, he only recently joined the “try-hard” club, and alongside climbing to the top of League of Legends Challenger, SofM still plays 2 to 3 games of TFT each day.
With a not very high gaming frequency, and just recently following the tempting call of his friends, SofM has only reached Gold III rank after 28 ranked TFT games on the Korean server.
However, in a light-hearted comparison, our jungle god has even surpassed another superstar of League of Legends in Korea, none other than “Chairman Lee” – Faker. Because SofM, whether a little or a lot, has climbed up to Gold III, while the guy Hide on Bush is still lingering at… Gold IV due to rarely playing ranked matches.
The funniest thing is, it seemed that Faker had “given up” on TFT after achieving his goal of escaping Silver rank, as the last time he played was 13 days ago. However, just a few hours ago, fans discovered that the Demon King was secretly climbing ranks alone without livestreaming.
It seems that this was a wise decision, as after half a month without touching the game, T1’s captain excellently finished a match in the position of… 8/8.
Of course, even the international gaming community views Faker’s struggles in Gold rank as just a funny story, and it’s the same for SofM. Both of these guys hold Challenger ranks in League of Legends, and it seems that try-harding on Summoner’s Rift is still something more enticing.
