Vietnam’s esports is thriving with a generation of players who are well-rounded in both skills and competitive experience. They increasingly prove their mettle through prestigious tournaments, both domestically and internationally. With their talent and soaring competitive spirit, these players have provided fans with breathtaking, top-tier performances while earning massive prize pools.
Beyond their expertise in esports, the most successful players in the Vietnamese gaming scene are also incredibly wealthy, branching into various fields, leading rich personal lives, and spreading positive energy to their audience. Let’s take a moment to recognize these remarkable individuals who embody everything many aspire to achieve!
SofM
Among the list of the most successful esports players in the Vietnamese gaming scene, SofM is undoubtedly the name that comes first. This player, born in 1998, is regarded as the number one talent in the Vietnamese League of Legends community, due to his extensive skills and competitive experience. Over the past few years, SofM has competed internationally in the LPL – the Chinese League of Legends tournament, becoming one of the top jungle players in this fierce competition.
SofM’s name is widely recognized globally, especially when he led Suning Gaming (now Weibo Gaming) to the finals of the 2020 World Championship – the most prestigious League of Legends tournament on the planet. Becoming the runner-up at the World Championship allowed him to earn billions of VND each month. This figure is well-deserved for the talent and dedication that SofM has invested in his beloved game.
Despite his massive earnings, SofM lives a very humble life. Moreover, he uses a portion of his income for charitable activities, spreading beautiful actions to the community.
In addition to his successful esports career, SofM has become a “boss” by investing alongside streamer Bomman in the Vikings Gaming project in Ho Chi Minh City. This is a modern gaming center with over 180 computers. The project is something both of them are passionate about and has just been inaugurated.
Currently, SofM is in a beautiful relationship with his girlfriend Lily and they are about to officially tie the knot. It is known that throughout his time competing abroad, his girlfriend Lily has always been by his side, cheering him on. A happy wedding is the most perfect conclusion for this talented couple.
Levi
Captain Đỗ “Levi” Duy Khánh of GAM Esports is one of the hottest names recently, causing a stir in the League of Legends community during World Championship 2022. Like SofM, Levi is an incredibly successful player, possessing both talent and looks that many admire.
Levi joined the esports scene playing professional League of Legends in 2016 when he was still under the Hanoi SkyRed banner. After an impressive performance with Lee Sin at the 2016 All Stars, Levi’s career began a new chapter. He joined GAM Esports and quickly rose to fame with aggressive team fights, captivating League of Legends fans worldwide.
Later, Levi also had two stints abroad but ultimately his true love remains GAM, where he had the opportunity to prove himself. In 2022, Levi and his teammates excellently won the gold medal at SEA Games 31 in League of Legends, clinched the VCS Spring and Summer 2022 championships, and most recently had a memorable journey at the World Championship 2022, where Levi showcased his class and successfully led his team to victory against the formidable Top Esports.
Beyond his successful esports career, Levi is also good-looking and has excellent language skills, which makes him even more admired. The formidable captain of GAM is always a shining star in the Vietnamese and international League of Legends scene.
Lai Bang
It’s no coincidence that people call Lai Bang the “Prodigy of Arena of Valor in Vietnam.” With top-notch skills and outstanding achievements, the captain of Saigon Phantom is currently one of the most successful Arena of Valor players.
From a young age of 15 or 16, Lai Bang displayed an innate talent for gaming. Later, when he joined SGP, he truly soared, achieving impressive milestones.
In 2021, Lai Bang officially became the captain of SGP, taking care of younger teammates like Fish, Khoa, and Yiwei. However, due to his past experiences and gradually accumulated calmness, Bang has become an extremely capable captain, leading the very young SGP to improve day by day. Their first achievement was winning the Autumn 2021 ĐTDV championship.
In 2022, Lai Bang and his teammates continued to make their mark by winning consecutive victories in the Spring and Autumn ĐTDV tournaments. Additionally, throughout his professional career, Lai Bang has achieved notable accomplishments such as being the runner-up at AIC 2020, winning the world solo championship in 2021, and claiming the silver medal at SEA Games 31 in Arena of Valor. And this list of achievements will surely continue to grow, as our prodigy is still very young.
Currently, alongside competing and dedicating himself to Arena of Valor, Lai Bang also enjoys a happy love life with his girlfriend Trang Six. The couple receives a lot of attention and affection from a large number of fans.
Quang Hai
Compared to Lai Bang, Quang Hai has a lower starting point, yet it cannot be denied that he is also a successful player in the Vietnamese gaming scene today. After a challenging beginning, Quang Hai truly shone when he joined V Gaming.
If you are a long-time Arena of Valor fan, you surely cannot forget the many times Quang Hai and V Gaming disappointingly lost in crucial finals of the ĐTDV and AIC. However, the “king of the runner-up” has now risen to claim the world championship title at AIC 2022. Winning the most prestigious tournament in Arena of Valor, Quang Hai and his teammates not only received a staggering prize of 16 billion VND but were also recognized for their extraordinary talent.
In addition to his recognized skills, Quang Hai recently officially revealed his relationship with the most well-known and hottest MC in the Arena of Valor community – Lyly Sury. Achieving success in both tournaments and his love life, Quang Hai makes many admire and respect his talent.
