During the training session at Awesome Academy 2023, players and coaches like ADC and ProE shared insights about the power of focus for a professional gamer. The training session featured beautiful MC Phuong Thao and psychologist Dr. Bui Hong Quan from Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Of course, the most important presence was the students of Awesome Academy.
Psychologist Dr. Bui Hong Quan and players discuss focus in competition
According to psychologist Dr. Bui Hong Quan, the essence of concentration skills helps individuals not be distracted by other factors to complete their tasks. Dr. Quan emphasized that focus is especially important for gamers, enabling them to devote themselves entirely to practice and competition. MC Phuong Thao concluded that “focus” is an essential tool for players to advance on their professional journey.
Dr. Quan noted that online violence can create significant obstacles or even derail the paths of professional players. On the other hand, ADC agreed with Dr. Quan, sharing that he has also experienced tough times under public pressure. He hopes that such pressures will not continue to affect young players in the future. ProE stated that online violence is the most frightening aspect, and harsh words from strangers have made him consider quitting his professional gaming career.
Mini-games to train focus
After the guest and player discussions, all members of Awesome Academy participated in mini-games designed to train focus. In challenges involving counting numbers or roll calls, even players like ADC and ProE made mistakes during their segments. However, ADC demonstrated greater concentration when he was the last player standing during the roll call challenge titled “Awesome Battle.”
The water resistance capability of the Galaxy A54 5G
Naturally, at Awesome Academy 2023, there were also games featuring Arena of Valor competition. In a match between two teams called “Destiny Shot,” both teams had to select keywords. If a team used the keywords in communication or remained silent for too long, they would be subjected to water shots from MC Phuong Thao and commentator Huy Popper.
In this segment, the Galaxy A54 5G had the opportunity to demonstrate its exceptional water resistance capabilities. Notably, ADC’s team received the most water sprays throughout the match. Nevertheless, the Galaxy A54 5G phones functioned excellently without any malfunctions during the intense matches between ProE and ADC.
The “Rapid Calculation” challenge
To increase the difficulty, Awesome Academy 2023 introduced a calculation challenge, where ADC’s team encountered falling trays multiple times, especially aimed at ADC himself. However, he managed to maintain the necessary calm. Meanwhile, ProE and his teammates, despite being assisted with helmets, could not keep their focus during the match. ADC successfully executed a backdoor play and won this round. The surprise move by ADC was so sudden that even the two MCs, Huy Popper and Phuong Thao, could not keep up with the situation.
Conclusion
After the training session, with insights from experts and professional players, young gamers and the audience gained a more comprehensive understanding of focus in professional competition. Not only in the field of Esports, but focus and determination toward set goals also play an incredibly important role in helping individuals succeed in life.
