In the past, tournaments featuring both professional and amateur players have appeared, such as the Bé Yêu Cup, National AoE,… However, these were still mainly platforms for professional players and clans. Amateur players primarily participated for交流, practice, and learning. In fact, in those tournaments, their opportunities to compete against top players were quite limited due to often not being able to progress far.
In contrast, systems like Cơm Canh Cà, Cơm Gia Đình, Cơm Thịt Sẻ,… not only give semi-professional players the chance to交流 and learn, but they also get to directly face off against or team up with top AoE players in Vietnam such as Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng, Mạnh Hào, BiBi, Cam Quýt,… This also serves as a bridge for outstanding players in the semi-professional community, the young talents of AoE to get closer to local audiences. Moreover, with a diverse tournament system, beautiful and talented female AoE players along with AoE commentators all have the opportunity to participate. Thus, the AoE community in Vietnam is becoming increasingly vibrant, diverse, and colorful.
If we consider the Cơm Canh Cà tournament systems as pioneering flags, then the upcoming AoE ITEL tournament is the focal point of the revolution to revive Vietnamese AoE. With the strong support of the sponsor iTel, GTV has brought a historic tournament to the semi-professional AoE community like never before. This tournament is not only a place for casual AoE players and young talents from Vietnam to compete for their colors, but also a venue for everyone to prove their worth in the Vietnamese AoE community. Furthermore, the substitution rule from football promises to create one of the most exciting tournaments in the semi-professional AoE community.
iTel mobile network (prefix 087) uses VinaPhone’s mobile network to provide optimal telecommunications services with cost efficiency and outstanding customer experience. iTel understands and captures the high entertainment demand of young people, thus offering massive 4G data packages at extremely low prices, with nationwide 4G coverage, and no spam messages. iTel is the network created for gamers, “wherever you fight, it’s enjoyable.” Using iTel for gaming means that even if you “lose connection,” you don’t have to worry about “dropping the network.” The partnership between iTel and GTV is expected to bring a spectacular tournament to the AoE community.
The tournament will officially kick off at 18:00 on May 10 and will be broadcast live on GameTV Fanpage, GameTV Tournament Fanpage, and the Vietnam GameTV YouTube channel.
