It's an image that lingers most in people's minds when thinking of Trần Văn Đức, also known as 'Đức Anh Gunny' or 'idol Đức Anh.' Playing Gunny PC for a decade, including 7 consecutive years organizing community offline events and leading various activities to unite gamers in the Land of Chickens.
Offline serves as a crucial connection, bringing gamers closer together. And Đức Anh becomes a crucial link, maintaining offline and connecting the support from the Gunny PC Management Board.
Discovered Gunny PC by fate, stayed for the passion of connection
Đức Anh started playing Gunny PC during his college years, lured in by friends. Amid the whirlwind of work and life, comrades gradually left the game, but Đức Anh chose to stay solo in the game world due to the passion for Gunny PC's captivating coordinate shooting gameplay. Later, engaging with experienced players, Đức Anh's 'Gunner career' soared. He openly expresses: 'The sense of unity, the connection that Gunny PC brings is very special to me. Each time I livestream and share, the camaraderie motivates me to stay connected with Gunny PC for even longer.'
Looking at the grand community events, attracting hundreds of Gunny PC gamers every year, few know that the 'pioneer' Đức Anh was once a rather shy guy, silently playing games without wanting to meet anyone. Encouraged by friends, Đức Anh decided to test his skills in the Gunny National Championship and remarkably became one of the players attending the World Finals in 2016. The young man remains modest when discussing his achievements, believing that the community's support is indispensable to shape the current 'Đức Anh Gunny.'
Fondly dubbed as 'idol,' Đức Anh doesn't hide his shyness: 'Honestly, I'm lucky that people love the soothing tone characteristic of each livestream, and stable shooting skills that attract a large audience. At its peak in 2017, livestream views kept increasing, reaching a milestone of 5,800 viewers, making the community celebrate and affectionately call him 'idol Đức Anh' since then.
Maintaining offline as a 'mission' with gamers
Returning from the tournament, Đức Anh and some teammates stepped up to call and organize an offline event (in the North) for Gunners to connect with each other. For Đức Anh, realizing this idea is both to convey the good values of Gunny PC and express gratitude to the community that has trusted and supported him.
At that time, the offline event had about 100 people - a relatively successful number with the team's still inexperienced organizing experience. In the early years of organizing, Đức Anh admitted struggling to balance time between work and life. There were times when he had to temporarily set aside work to fully focus on organizing offline events, always expecting everyone to feel happy, healthy, and more connected both in-game and in real life.
Bonding gamers in offline events is a way for the game to build a long-lasting community, ready to convey thoughts to the Management Board. With guidance from Đức Anh, Gunny PC community offline events are consistently maintained every year in the North, Central, and South. Even during pandemic years, Đức Anh proactively created online platforms for the community to interact, boosting enthusiasm and connecting people even more.
With a 'seniority' of 10 years playing Gunny PC, Đức Anh regularly shares gameplay tips and streams Gunny on his personal Youtube channel. Thanks to these useful tips that help players increase their combat power and have enjoyable experiences with Gunny, Đức Anh has accumulated hundreds of thousands of followers with a stable viewership.
The daily life of the young man becomes more meaningful after successfully organizing offline events and meeting many people. He sees himself more confident, mature, and positively changed. The gamer's 'ambition' is to continue maintaining the years of organizing offline events to the perfect number of 10 and beyond. Đức Anh adds, 'Alone, I couldn't accomplish this huge responsibility; I'm grateful to the Golden Rooster community, all those who attended offline events, the comrades who sponsored the events, and the timely support from the Gunny PC Management Board.' Regardless of the journey's length, Đức Anh aims to create a tightly-knit community, where people have the opportunity to meet, connect, and preserve many beautiful memories of Gunny PC after each year.
