The most friendly and energetic boss VCS
When it comes to the bosses behind the League of Legends teams in Vietnam, most of the common viewers are very strange and do not care much, although they play an important role in operating the team. For grams, unfortunately it is not very good, because at the time of transferring to a new organization, the salary debt dramas made the team the right literal ink.
But everything changed in 2022, when Gam continuously won two VCS championships to show his strength remained the same. The fact that the Marines came to Worlds after nearly 3 years of absence, is also a huge push not only in terms of expertise, but also creating hope for a stronger VCS area in the future.
The most energetic and enthusiastic person in GAM's personnel, surprisingly, is not the players or training teams, but the management of TK Nguyen itself. We see TK as a member of the GAM squad, when always appearing at any event, video or important moments of the team. And originally, Nguyen is not a traditional eSports, the manager of GAM has had another career in the entertainment and tourism segment.
For those who follow the news of the nightlife, it must also know the account that owns a bar called Skylight – with a prime location located on the top floor right in the coastal city of Nha Trang. When switching to investment in eSports or in particular, TK Nguyen has made a very ambitious speech, about the decision to invest in GAM ESPORTS will help NRG.Asia not starting from zero, but GAM is about 9 and NRG.ASIA's support can help GAM reach the number 10 or even further.
TK Nguyen has repeatedly talked about bringing VCS to reach the world, to achieve that, the achievements in the country and the VCS championship for GAM are still not enough, but more importantly that is the face of the team, as well as the way to process communications to please fans. Since TK Nguyen joined GAM, the most obvious thing is the videos that talk about many things after every battle, not simply the video, mic check or mere tactics, but it is the daily life and the psychology of the players – something that fans really want to know.
In all those videos, TK Nguyen is always the one standing in the center. From the introduction of the team's Gaming House – the later concentration and training area is called the most luxurious VCS fans. The tactical clips and the Pick as well as the backstage internal, especially the TK Nguyen always accompanies the players after defeats, especially the bitter defeat against CES in the Winter VCS 2021, showing that TK is not just a regular manager but like a 6th player in the team.
This is the biggest difference between GAM before and after the Nguyen. According to common sense, the bosses or rear management rarely appear, for the fans, they do not even know the existence of these people, because it seems very distant. TK Nguyen is the opposite, the new manager of GAM is always present when the team needs, and put themselves in the center to understand the players.
These things make the audience think of the two big and famous bosses of League of Legends, which is the Rick Fox of the Echo Fox team in North America, and Carlos Ocelote – the founder of the famous circus G2 Esports. Rick Fox is a famous former basketball player, he bought the LCS and founded Echo Fox team in 2015.
In a certain way, Rick is almost like TK Nguyen, which has very little experience in eSports but always wants to follow the players. Rick Fox was very popular with LCS fans at that time, because of his close, sociable and special style for the team.
Echo Fox's boss almost watched every match of the team, as well as sharing the joy and cheering more than a true fan. Rick's attitude to the player is like family members, only unfortunately Echo Fox cannot go far and the present has dispersed.
As for Carlos Ocelote, in addition to the recent scandal, the G2 Esports tycoon is always known as the comedian not inferior to his players. G2 fans often have the main troll of Carlos, that is: If you have poise bosses wearing vet clothes to interview, then we have Ocelote likes to wear buttocks shaking buttocks on television.
It can be said that G2 achieved to success today, with great merit of Carlos, always following the player and understanding them, the quality that not all bosses can do. With TK Nguyen, the journey at Gam is still very long, but fans have seen this manager as a truly attached part with the team.
The new face is more attractive and closer
GAM under TK Nguyen had made great steps, both in the game and in real life. One of the most significant achievements is the 31st SEA Games championship. Before Gam became the SEA Games qualifying champion, many fans had an opinion that leaving MSI to attend this tournament was not smart, because it was clear that the power of VCS completely surpassed all opponents in Southeast Asia. But then GAM won the SEA Games gold medal, was the first team to have a certificate of merit, as well as attending the celebration of Ho Chi Minh City, showing a long step of electronic sports.
Besides, despite being only the No. 2 seed, SGB played very well at MSI 2022 and continued to bring 2 capacity for VCS at Worlds, showed that GAM's decision was accurate. As an inevitable, TK Nguyen always accompanies with GAM at the SEA Games, wearing a red flag with proud yellow stars to enjoy the joy of winning with the players.
After the championship, it can be seen that TK Nguyen helped bring the image of GAM up, with a series of celebrations, inviting famous floating characters to contribute, to show that GAM is really a big team and attractive in the community, as well as making fans proud to be part of the black gold shirt.
Throughout 2022, TK Nguyen and GAM always accompanied each other, but what made this boss really stand out, it was a month before Worlds took place, with the nightmare of all VCS teams named Visa. When the first news about the players who failed to interview, about SGB and the GAM would probably not be enough people, once again, TK Nguyen was the one who settled.
The manager of GAM has continuously reassured fans on social networks, updated the situation of the players on visa issues, as well as taking advantage of their relationships to help it head down. With a senior manager, what TK Nguyen does more than enthusiasm, when it shows his enthusiasm with League of Legends Vietnam, using all ways to help VCS representatives can participate in the biggest arena of the year. And the final joy broke when both GAM and SGB achieved a visa, just a few days before the tournament took place.
Not only helping SGB in the interview, but TK Nguyen, together with GAM consecutive press conferences and published, showed that the two VCS seeds were actually one, the same fight for the common victory of the region. TK Nguyen not only shows himself wholeheartedly with GAM, but also proves that the sentence that takes VCS to reach the world, want to do so, not only a strong team is enough, but what to do to pull the common ground of the whole tournament.
The enthusiastic and unconditional help for SGB, has shown the enthusiasm of TK Nguyen with GAM or Vietnamese League of Legends in general, it blows a new vitality into the tournament, seems to have been forgotten for more than 2 years cannot participate in the world arena. Gamtime, this is the time when Gam shines.
