Currently, SofM holds the second position in the Korean Challenger, trailing ShowMaker by only 6 points.
With the conclusion of MSI 2022, leagues are gearing up for their return. On June 10th (Vietnamese time), LPL Summer 2022 officially kicks off, marking the final preparation week before Chinese LoL teams resume their championship battle and aim for the World Championship 2022 spots.
In recent times, China has implemented stringent measures to combat the pandemic. Consequently, several players, including SofM and TheShy, couldn't visit their families. Weibo Gaming, the team of these two players, was among the first to start climbing the ranks and practicing, even before MSI 2022 began. SofM, the 'Vietnamese Jungle God,' stands out as the fastest and most effective rank climber among WBG members.
Specifically, on the morning of June 5th (Vietnamese time), the Vietnamese LoL community was thrilled to discover that SofM had reached the second spot in the Korean Challenger. At that time, the gap between him and the leader, ShowMaker, was 22 points (1595 and 1573). However, a few minutes later, ShowMaker lost a ranked match, dropping to 1579 points. As a result, SofM is now only 6 points away from ShowMaker.
This is indeed a remarkably fast and efficient ranking climb by SofM. Earlier in the month, he entered the top 5 in the Korean Challenger and, within a few days, rose to fourth place. At that time, SofM's position, apart from ShowMaker, was still behind Canyon and Wei. But in just over 24 hours, SofM climbed to second place and is now threatening ShowMaker's position.
In the past Spring Split 2022, WBG had moments that led fans to believe they could be strong contenders for the championship. However, a relentless dip in performance during the crucial phase caused SofM and teammates to fall short in the title race. Nevertheless, they remain a formidable force in the upcoming LPL Summer 2022. SofM and the team must stay focused if they aim to compete for the title and secure a spot in the World Championship 2022.
