Unlocked: SofM

Le Quang “SofM” Duy is hailed as one of the top pro players in Vietnam.

This 19-year-old made a name for himself by climbing to the top 10 of the Korean ranked ladder despite high pings and language barriers. Now, he is pushing limits by competing against the best players in the world at the LoL Pro League in China.

Watch SofM unlock his dreams.

When you're Vietnamese, this document means a lot more to you. Times are tough back in Vietnam, and its awesome that he is able to do this. Being able to understand the language is a better in depth experience

Who rewatch this after the 2020 Semifinals yesterday?
I'm Vietnamese and i've been following this kid ever since he was in GPL.
Actually the reason that got me interested in watching competitive LoL again after i got bored of SKT winning everything.
I knew he could make it, even when he was in Snake Esports.
Tbh, watching worlds 2020 and the way he performed, i was kinda proud to be Vietnamese even though he is in a LPL team but it shows that being trained in a highly competitive enviroment, a Viet player can match with other top players around the world.

Wow Riot! You made a video for SofM. While foreigners say "S.O.F.M", Vietnameses say "Sọp" LOL XD

[LWZ]

Lol I can't believe they actually made a video for him. Good stuff Riot. I hope he goes far, as the sole Vietnamese representative in a competitive region xD

Thank you for letting our shoutcaster's appear in this video and using his shout isntead of western shoutcasters.
Anyway, I don't know who made the subtitles but about 30% of them aren't very accurate. Hope that you will fix them soon!
Cố lên nhé, Duy! Dù kết quả những trận đấu tiếp theo có như thế nào thì em vẫn luôn là người hùng, là huyền thoại của nền LMHT nước nhà.

This is something I love about E-sports, it brings people from different places together(Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese in one team)! And friendship from those kids will be more valuable than anything.

Witness our home country champion: SofM
May he find success in the international Pro LoL scene.

Xem lại video này rơm rớm nước mắt. Thương Sọp thực sự, cuối cùng thì bao nhiêu nỗ lực cũng được đền đáp. Ngày mai đánh chung kết rồi, thắng hay thua không quan trọng, phải luôn giữ nụ cười trên môi em nhé, đến thời điểm này thực sự đã là quá thành công rồi, thi đấu làm sao để khi kết thúc không phải nuối tiếc là được. Mọi người yêu thương em.

Can you please do a documentary or a player spotlight of a Japanese player or team? Ever since the pro league and server was introduced it feels like everyone forgot about them and that they actually have a (surprisingly) quite strong league. Thanks in advance!
