Recently, on his personal Facebook, Coach Tinikun teased a photo of Optimus signing a contract. The former coach of GAM Esports also revealed that the value of this contract is up to 10 billion – just like the nickname “Cuong 10 Billion” that fans often call him.
It has long been predicted that Optimus would sign a contract and return to the VCS. Currently, Optimus is a freelance streamer, and if he continues like this, it would truly be a waste of talent.
Considered a legendary player in the Vietnamese League of Legends scene, Optimus has played for many prestigious teams such as SAJ, SF5, BM, GAM, Team Flash… He has proven his talent and top-tier thinking through numerous achievements and prestigious titles with these teams.
His fan base is among the largest in Vietnam, so the figure of 10 billion is entirely plausible. If 10 billion is indeed the number to secure Optimus’s services, GAM would be the first name that comes to mind, given the team’s financial potential and great ambitions.
Tinikun’s teaser of the photo of Optimus signing the contract has led many fans to believe that this player will “rekindle the old love” with GAM Esports. Here, Optimus achieved many successes and titles such as VCS champion, Top 6 MSI 2017, and qualifying for the 2017 World Championship…
However, the likelihood of him returning as a professional player is low due to age. Therefore, a position in the coaching staff of the black and gold team would be more reasonable, especially after Van Tung – the former analyst of GAM just left.
It remains unclear what the truth is in this story and whether Optimus will actually make a comeback at GAM. If he does return, what position will he take? However, one thing is quite certain: “Cuong 7 Nui” will soon return to the VCS as he stated after leaving Team Flash to become a streamer.
