The journey to Kiaya's glory is not simple, it is the time to fight with health, to the opponents and with themselves. Kiaya is a good player from the time of debut, but from good to the best it is a completely different story, so this is the time when Kiaya was enough to swim to the big beach?
3 years of training waiting for the shine date
Tran Duy Sang was widely known for the first time in 2017 in the Ehub United shirt – the team that had produced a good player such as Artifact, Xuhao, CBL … Kiaya previously stormed the challenge of Vietnamese server challenge with high personal skills often in the top. Although talented, Kiaya did not have the opportunity to show in Ehub, everything was not better than Kiaa came to Ultimate; It was only when stepped into the color of black and yellow, Kiaya gradually turned the god.
In May 2018, Kiaya arrived at the headquarters of GAM ESPORTS. Although GAM was then a VCSA runner -up, everything was not as beautiful as in theoretical. EVOS is a spring champion to come to MSI, the YG team changed his name to welcome the rookie Zeros, FFQ is still a mystery. The essence of Kiaya's story of joining GAM is dissolved by UTM and most of this squad has merged with GAM to create a very large team of players.
Everything gradually changed worse when VCSA in the summer of 2018 took place, GAM was not able to attend the playoff round for the first time when he only got to the 5th place; But in that dark picture, GAM still has a bright spot named Kiaya. Kiaya is not the most worth watching player at this time, but he is the only one who stops the foot of the player No. 1 VCS – Zeros.
In the spring of 2019, GAM was harder and harder, they sank into the crisis with behind -the -scenes issues. As for Phong Vu Buffalo, they have a series of 9 unbeaten matches to join Griffin to become regional kings; However, when Griffin was still sublime in Korea, PVB was poured by Kiaya & Gam to a cold water. The 6th week in the 10th round, GAM encountered Phong Vu in the second leg, they officially interrupted the unbeaten series of buffaloes with a 2-1 victory.
In an interview after the match, Kiaya said that this was a somewhat lucky and magical victory; However, there would be no luck to help Kiaya stop Zeros if he had no strength. Unfortunately, that sheple is also the best that GAM can do in the spring of 2019.
Breakthrough
In the summer of 2019, GAM ESports was determined to rebuild the squad with the return of the great god Levi & the old people who used to love Zeros. Zeros' s fination for three matches and the no player in the mid lane forced Yoshino & Kiaya to split 2 single lines. Yoshino proved extremely talented and Kiaya shone in the best way in the middle line, which is to use the gladiator to go to mid.
Kiaya's perfect certainty made the audience gradually forget Zeros, but the fate of joking with him when Zeros was still the number 1 name chosen. The three lines took turns that summer bombardment that year, they helped GAM to the championship to convince to step to the Worlds arena.
In Europe, Kiaya became the only hope of the black gold army; Because through 6 matches in the group stage, people can see the bottom line full of instability, Levi Choke is heavy while Zeros does not do anything even when winning the road. Only Kiaya, War God still calmly calm down against the rivals, even the Doinb of Fanplus Phoenix.
The solokill Fofo in the situation that Kled shot Lucian has left an unforgettable impression in the eyes of the international community, and the player who played was Kiaya. Gam returned to the country with a series of backstage dramas, everything could be called tangles like silk, only Kiaya was acclaimed as the No. 1 player of GAM in the unforgettable Worlds.
Become the mainstay on the eSports gram
In 2020, the Esports GAM is still the leading League of Legends organization in Vietnam, but they have failed to flash in both Spring -Summer domestic tournaments. GAM 2020 is the Dream Team version but then they could not win the opponent, Kiaya became the only way of the team after Yoshino docked for Flash and Zeros joined Zeros.
In 2021, grams of human resource reconstruction with the participation of Kati – Style & Bie; Levi and Kiaya are two names retained by VCS runner -up in the main squad. Kiaya is now much more mature, and most importantly, the God of War has entered the peak of his form with a scary calm.
Entering 2022, Kiaya seemed to have no opponent in the road on VCS; He actively tryhard, touching the challenge of Korea with about 1,000 points, invincible in every match, traveling – fighting – using movement, handling skills … everything became perfect.
Kiaya was originally like a tiger, Levi's support for Kiaya was no different from the lord of the forest. The upper wing of GAM causes rivals to have uncomfortable headaches; The glimmering bright spot named Hasmed is not a big problem when Kiaya plays on his colleague, and GAM has to kill Buffalo in two consecutive finals.
GAM ESPORTS has abandoned MSI, but it is an opportunity for good players to be devoted to the Fatherland; The Seagames 31 gold medal victory is a sweet result for the tireless effort of this collective, of course, of course, Kiaya is indispensable.
If the SEA Games arena can be considered a light playground with GAM, Worlds 2022 is a much more fierce arena. GAM returned to the largest League of Legends tournament on the planet 2 years of absence, they were expected to be the name that created the earthquake, defeating every opponent if playing sublimated.
In the overall 6 matches in the group stage, it must be acknowledged that GAM has not met the expectations of those who love the country; The historic victory over the top eSports is somewhat lucky that the opponent has made too many mistakes. Even so, Kiaya is still the best player in the team despite the teammates who are left behind.
The indicators of Kiaya are not really beautiful due to the influence of the collective performance, but his ability to win up to 67% – an unbelievable number when GAM's group has the presence of Odoamne – a veteran European player, Wayward – who once solo Kill Theshy 4 times in a row and especially Kingen – MVP Finals World Worlds 2022.
Kiaya and the journey to conquer fame
Kiaya has been in contact with League of Legends since the age of 11, it was 2012 when League of Legends was still unofficially broadly popular. The 11 -year -old boy had to play a foreign server when the Vietnamese server was not opened; Within 4 years later, Kiaya became a familiar name of the Net Grass, Semi -Specialized Tournament or even VCSB. Initially, Kiaya participated in the movement tournaments to find artifacts and appearance awards, but gradually the love of League of Legends has exploded, from which Kiaya decided to follow the professional path.
Despite joining Ehub & UTM, Gam is the place where Kiaya started his career, so it would not be too exaggerated to say that the eSports GAM was the second home of Tran Duy Sang. Kiaya once shared that he did not want to leave GAM, nor did he want to play for a team other than Gam; That is the basis that makes fans believe that Kiaya will choose to stay instead of going abroad.
At Worlds 2022, Kiaya has also been known to the world about his own story; Even BLV Riot Games also specially revealed about the special situation of the Vietnamese road. Kiaya is not eligible to finish grade 1, he can read and write through playing League of Legends, for that reason, Kiaya's ability to communicate is relatively weak, but Kiaya has gradually risen to achieve success today. Kiaya's story has become an endless source of inspiration for the international LOL community about efforts to be tirelessly.
In fact, for Vietnamese audiences, we are no stranger to this humane story of Kiaya. Family circumstances are so difficult that “not enough money” has made Duy Sang's childhood much more than his peers. Right from playing League of Legends, Kiaya has known the words and can communicate with everyone through chat, that is, Kiaya has enough intelligence to know what others say – one thing is not easy when he has not finished grade 1.
Kiaya had a desperate time to give up when he had just started playing professionally. According to Kiaya, he did not have much experience at first, so the competition was quite faint, mainly dependent on personal skills; Kiaya had difficulty in communicating with his teammates that Tinikun had to “dry”, leading to Duy Sang to appear negative thoughts.
However, Kiaya said that the Esports player is a profession that can make money to help the family, turn Kiaya into a pillar in the family that has been financially difficult as well as health. Kiaya personally suffered from the evil stomach disease and then the kidney disease, the respiratory tract caused him to be constantly treated.
At the end of the VCS Spring 2019, Kiaya had the phenomenon of edematous legs, hands and face, causing him to quit playing. 1 part comes from the location, but most of the reasons are the habit of eating and unhealthy activities of a gamer. But after all Kiaya returned to a very strong way.
Until Kiaya reached out to the big sea
Returning from Worlds 2022, Kiaya is a special name besides Levi. According to sources from Thethao.vn, Kiaya has received many suggestions from large areas, especially the top teams between LCS with a contract value of up to half a million dollars – a small number for the player from the VCS area. Do not know that exactly who wanted to recruit Kiaya, but this is clearly a happy signal that the world has seen the talent of the VCS god.
In the case of Kiaya successfully traveling, he will be the third player at VCS to go abroad to a large area after Sofm & Levi. However, before that, Levi failed to practice in a foreign land, the only thing that Captain of GAM achieved was probably his erudite English and a little Chinese in half a year of JDG.
Unlike Sofm & Levi, Kiaya's competition position is the upper line – the place where specific characteristics do not need to communicate too much. Moreover, Kiaya's personal skill is not inferior to any player, if not to say that he can crush the road a number of names at LCS. If everything becomes a reality, this will be a big step of Kiaya; But even after Kiaya chose to stick with GAM until the end of his career, he will still receive countless remuneration that not everyone has.
