On the evening of July 7, the VCS Summer 2022 tournament officially kicked off with two matchups: AS Esports (ASE) vs. Team Whales (TW) and GAM Esports (GAM) vs. SBTC Esports (SE). Naturally, all eyes were on the showdown between the two rival teams, GAM and SE. This was predicted to be the toughest challenge for SE, as GAM is the reigning champion of VCS Spring 2022 and also the gold medalist in the SEA Games 31 for League of Legends (LoL).
However, the actual match revealed a completely different scenario and result from what everyone expected. In an outstanding day of performance, SE’s players demolished the VCS Spring 2022 champions in an unexpected manner. All GAM could manage was a single win, but in the two losses, they left everyone wondering where the undefeated champions from the Spring season had gone.
In SE’s victory, the credit must go to their top laner, Trần “NPer” Đình Tuấn. Throughout all three games, NPer truly dazzled the audience with his exceptional plays. Notably, his opponent was no slouch either, as he faced Kiaya, a player dubbed the “War God”. NPer not only completely decimated Kiaya but also showcased many other top-tier plays throughout the three games.
On the day that his junior achieved a proud milestone with SE, former SE player Zeros also seized the opportunity to express his thoughts. He asserted that when the League of Legends community doubted NPer, he was the only one to show absolute trust in his junior to take over his position as the top laner.
Zeros further asserted: “Seeing NPer striving to dispel all doubts from the audience, I believe he will be a perfect top laner.” The former SE player also claimed to have “rolled out the red carpet for NPer to step into the number one top laner position in the history of League of Legends Vietnam.”
Of course, it may still be too early to confirm whether NPer has the capability to become the number one top laner in Vietnam’s League of Legends. However, it’s safe to say that this player has performed exceptionally well, and surely SE fans are eager to see their team achieve great success.
