Vietnamese League of Legends community Erupts as strong hints suggest Faker may return after six years

The Vietnamese League of Legends community has exploded with excitement in recent hours after strong signs emerged suggesting that Faker may be returning to Vietnam for the first time in more than six years. The sudden wave of anticipation began when VPBank published a mysterious promotional image welcoming “mid24,” accompanied by six star icons on its official channels. These clues immediately ignited speculation, as “mid24” perfectly matches the username Faker used while practicing on the Vietnam server in 2019, and the six stars correspond exactly to his six World Championship titles.

As soon as the image spread online, local esports forums became overwhelmed with activity. Thousands of comments appeared within minutes, with most fans firmly believing that the person hinted at by VPBank could only be the legendary mid laner of T1. If this turns out to be true, it would mark the first time since MSI 2019 that Vietnamese fans get the chance to see Faker in person — a milestone event still regarded as one of the greatest memories of Vietnam’s LoL scene.

Alongside the excitement, countless theories have emerged about the purpose of Faker’s possible trip. Some community sources suggest that the visit could be part of a major brand collaboration, given Faker’s status as a global ambassador for multiple companies. Others believe VPBank may be planning a large-scale fan meeting, which would be entirely feasible considering the rapid growth of esports in Vietnam and the country’s increasing role as a destination for international gaming events. Over the past year, Vietnam has hosted numerous high-profile tournaments and activations across the gaming industry, making Faker’s appearance feel more plausible than ever.

Regardless of the reason, Faker’s appeal to Vietnamese fans remains unmatched. To many, he is not only the greatest League of Legends player of all time but also a symbol of discipline, professionalism and longevity in esports. Vietnamese players grew up watching his legendary outplays, emotional trophy lifts and calm, humble presence throughout more than a decade at the highest level of competition. This explains why even the slightest hint of his return instantly reignited overwhelming excitement nationwide.

At the moment, VPBank has not issued any official confirmation. However, with details lining up almost too perfectly, the Vietnamese LoL community is hopeful that this potential visit will be more than just a brief appearance — possibly becoming a historic event for the region. If Faker truly sets foot in Vietnam again, it would undoubtedly be one of the most memorable moments for the local esports scene since MSI 2019.
