Followers of the Challenger leaderboard in Vietnam are likely familiar with Bé Trọc “Phạm Nhật Hào” – the 2005 prodigy of Arena of Valor. This young gamer is also a mentee of Msuong and is pursuing a streaming career like his senior Msuong. Bé Trọc is known for his skills that rival professional players and his remarkable ability to climb ranks despite being only 15 years old.
In Season 13, Bé Trọc was on the verge of achieving his dream of becoming the number 1 Challenger in the Vietnam rank. However, in the final moments before the season closed, a gamer with the nickname “SilentBoy” suddenly surged ahead to take the lead.
However, according to many gamers, including Bé Trọc and others, the Top 1 Challenger – “SilentBoy” is indeed a cheater. Many gamers observed the leaderboard’s end-of-season dynamics and accused “SilentBoy” of gaining 3 stars in just 9 minutes. This is something that can only happen with cheating players since in the Challenger rank, finding matches takes a long time, and the matches are extremely intense to earn just 1 star.
After “brazenly” stealing the Top 1 Challenger position, “SilentBoy” and his crew continued to mock by changing their names and profile pictures to exactly resemble Bé Trọc. Already cheating, they still boast loudly, which is nothing short of a challenge.
In light of the situation where the “fake Challenger” brazenly climbs to the top using cheating tactics, perhaps Garena needs to step in soon to restore integrity to the Vietnamese rank.
