In Zaun, she had made a name for herself, drawing crowds from all corners of Runeterra to watch and bet on her in underground bouts. That was until she caught the eye of a well-known professional trainer who offered her a chance to elevate her skills.

Under his guidance, Vi transitioned to professional fighting, quickly rising through the ranks. She started in rookie-level bouts and easily dominated her opponents before moving on to the bigger leagues — the most prestigious of championships.

But the more she fought, the more exhilarating it became. Winning was no longer just a means to an end — it was her passion, a way to release her frustrations, and something she couldn’t live without.
