Hardly a source of pride, Liên Quân Mobile earned a bad reputation right after being featured on VTV.
In recent days, the news of the Saigon Phantom (SGP) team defeating the Thai team to become the reigning world champion has stirred the gaming community. This is not only a sweet victory after countless efforts but also an impressive achievement, solidifying the nation's position in the international esports scene. Recently, VTV has directly praised the SGP team on national television.
With wings of praise like 'number 1 seed,' 'exceeding expectations,' 'dominant,' 'excellent'... it can be affirmed that VTV has shown a lot of favoritism and immense pride when the SGP boys achieved the dream championship. Not only that, the station also directly praised team captain Lai Bâng - the best player in the world at the moment. It can be confirmed that this is a valuable appreciation, helping the SGP name resonate and become a new monument in Vietnamese esports.
Despite these positive actions, there are still many antifans trying to undermine and reject this joy on social media. Originally the spearhead of esports in the country, now that it has reached the number 1 position globally, many overly critical accounts argue that the APL 2023 tournament was only regional, gathering teams from Taipei and Southeast Asian countries. Thus, winning the tournament still leaves many international teams ready to challenge Vietnam in the future.
Indeed, 'When in love, boasting is natural. When in hatred, finding every way to criticize is inevitable.' Is it fair for Liên Quân Mobile to always be associated with such negative comments? Looking at it positively, this is one of the games bringing the most outstanding achievements for the country in recent times. Despite receiving positive signals, is a part of the online community being too harsh on this game?
