In the Vietnamese Esports community, GAM Esports is not only a symbol of success in the game League of Legends (LoL) but also a place that connects passionate hearts. Recently, a sweet love story has stirred up social media when a long-time female fan of GAM Esports shared her “achievement” after 6 years of being part of the fan club: She officially got engaged to a guy who is also a loyal fan of the team. The story not only excited the community but also prompted netizens to “ask for vibes” to find their own “other half” within the beloved fandom!
The main character of the story is Nguyễn Thị Diễm Lệ, a prominent female fan in the GAM Esports community. With a fierce passion for LoL in general and a special love for GAM, Diễm Lệ joined the GAMFAM group, quickly becoming an active member, frequently participating in offline events and live streams to support the team. Her partner is Mạnh Thi, who currently works as an IT staff member. The couple met through the fan group in 2019.
After 6 years of dating, the couple recently held an engagement ceremony and moved in together. In the emotional moments of this important life event, the female fan shared: “Thank you GAMFAM group for being the bridge that brought us together and made us a family.”
Right after Diễm Lệ posted about the engagement in the private GAMFAM group – the community for GAM Esports fans, the story became the center of attention. The post received hundreds of interactions and comments from fans. The trend of “asking for vibes” quickly exploded.
“When there’s good news, I’ll post in the group for my single friends to strive for!”;
“That icon is so cool. Not many can keep up with this trend.”;
“Congratulations to the couple, may you always be happy!”…
The appeal of Diễm Lệ and Mạnh Thi’s story lies not only in its romance but also in how GAM Esports has become a bridge for young people passionate about Esports. Since its establishment, GAM Esports has built a loyal fan community, with thousands of members across Vietnam. Events like Watch Parties, offline fan club meetings, or livestreams with famous players have provided opportunities for fans to connect and sometimes find their “other half.”
This couple’s story also highlights the Esports fandom culture in Vietnam, where there are not only thrilling matches but also moments that bond the community. These values have helped GAM Esports maintain its position as the most beloved team in VCS, despite fierce competition from other representatives.
However, not everyone has had an easy journey like Minh Anh. Some fans humorously lamented: “I’ve been a GAM fan for 5 years and I’m still single, maybe it’s because I don’t go to Watch Parties!” Nevertheless, the positivity and energy from this couple’s story have inspired many, encouraging them to participate in community activities to seek connection opportunities.
