Returning to the Gaming House, representatives of the Vietnam Arena of Valor team shared insights into their journey at SEA Games 31.
Arena of Valor Mobile - a game with a large player base in Vietnam, also a discipline receiving significant attention in the competition content at the Southeast Asian Games - SEA Games 31. Here, Saigon Phantom, the representative team of the host country, competed against other nations in the region.
Considered as the 'seed,' possessing high skills, many opportunities to 'harvest gold,' however, the Vietnamese team 'stumbled' against the Thais - our perennial rivals, losing grip of the coveted gold medal.
Leaving the capital city of Hanoi, returning to the Gaming House after the competition period, we had a candid conversation with a representative from Saigon Phantom about the journey to conquer medals at the recent SEA Games of the young athletes.
The team representative stated: 'Looking back at the SEA Games, the team's impressions are the thorough organization, professionalism, and meticulousness of the organizers. Here, we received a lot of support from the organizers, volunteers, and media to create the most favorable conditions for us to compete and dedicate ourselves to the country.'
However, the team representative also acknowledges that failing to win the gold medal in Arena of Valor Mobile is what fills the members with regret: 'It's an emotion that cannot be avoided when we receive too much expectation. But this is also an opportunity to show that SGP is not perfect yet and needs to try harder in the future.'
SEA Games 31 marked the first time young athletes played directly in front of thousands of spectators. Hopefully, this experience will help SGP's 'warriors' further improve in the upcoming AIC and future tournaments.
SGP does not hide the current mood of the team a few days after the defeat in the SEA Games final, stating that the players felt down for a short period. However, at the present time, given the chance to go out, travel to relieve stress, the whole team will return to training with normal intensity next week.
'We will train more with teams from Thailand, Taiwan, as well as strong representatives domestically and in the region to refine our playing style, tactics, and bring more surprises to the audience in the upcoming AIC.'
Finally, the team with this constellation of national stars doesn't forget to thank the fans who have supported, followed, and cheered for the team throughout the tournament. There are still regrets that prevent fans from celebrating fully, as well as the inability to bring home the gold medal for the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, but the team asserts that they will continue to improve to bring a fresh image and enhance the skills of the players in the future.
