After the conclusion of SEA Games, Garena unexpectedly faces backlash from Liên Quân gamers.
So, SEA Games has ended but the aftermath of the Southeast Asian Games still lingers, especially in the realm of Esports. Successes and regrets aside, these are the spices that make Esports at this year's SEA Games even more enticing.
One of the highly anticipated disciplines among gamers is Liên Quân. Despite not clinching the gold medal against the might of Thailand, Liên Quân Vietnam has managed to alter the medal color at this year's SEA Games. It may not be the desired outcome for gamers, but it showcases the efforts of the players in leaving a mark for Liên Quân at the Southeast Asian Games held on home turf.
However, following the conclusion of SEA Games, Garena has faced severe backlash from the gaming community. The uproar stems from a post gifting the player community: “Vietnam Liên Quân team has achieved the Silver Medal in the SEA Games final match of Liên Quân Mobile discipline held on May 22nd!!
And to celebrate the upgrade in Medal from the Vietnam team compared to the previous SEA Games, all you need to do is LOG IN to the game from May 23-26, complete some extremely simple tasks to receive 5 Superb Scroll completely free!!”
This announcement, coupled with its 'stinginess,' has led to Garena being opposed by Liên Quân gamers. Most feel that this gift is too... 'generous' and unappealing to players. Liên Quân gamers have the right to demand more valuable gifts. However, it all still boils down to just 'superb scrolls.' A gamer sarcastically remarked: 'Thanks to fried chicken for making me lucky among 800 people receiving chests, and I opened 2 world-class speakers to thank fried chicken a lot'. It's clear how disappointed Liên Quân players are with these '5 superb scroll' gifts.
