Baby Love Cup 2020 – A tournament for the “dark horses”
Before entering the tournament Baby Love Cup 2020, in all 4 Random categories, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng was always rated the highest by experts and fans alike. This is understandable as in the past two years, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng has shown to be “unmatched” in every genre, whether solo or team play.
However, surprises began to unfold when in the solo category, the death bracket forced Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng to face BiBi. Against a BiBi who suddenly transformed into a “superman” prodigy from Đan Phượng, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng had to accept elimination right from the second round.
After that, Chim Sẻ, U98, and Mạnh Hào unexpectedly fell short in the 3v3 Random category against Nghệ An, a team known for its “inner strength” that often shines in tournaments. No1, Chipboy, and Vô Thường made Sparta sadly exit the tournament right at the quarterfinals. Another category where Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng was eliminated early. An unfamiliar sight for the Sparta captain in tournaments.
Eliminated early in 2 categories, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng and U98 were very determined to secure a spot in the finals of the 2v2 Random category, hoping to win a championship trophy at the Baby Love 2020 tournament. However, once again, Nghệ An became a “grim reaper” as they successfully knocked Sparta out for the second time. No1 and Chipboy turned Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng and U98 into spectators in this category. Thus, at this point, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng has been eliminated in 3 out of the 4 categories at the Baby Love Cup 2020.
The last hope in 4v4 Random was extinguished by Hanoi
All hopes of Sparta and Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng were pinned on the final category to keep their championship dreams alive, which was 4v4 Random. Their opponent was Team Hanoi, a clan also facing a do-or-die situation.
Both teams entered the match with great determination, with Hanoi fully exploiting their card advantage to take a 2-game lead in a 4-game match. Shortly after, Sparta responded with 3 consecutive victories, putting Hanoi on the back foot. At the most critical moments, VaneLove stepped up and led the members of Team Hanoi to a thrilling victory over Sparta with a score of 4-3. Individually, VaneLove showcased his skills with 2 outstanding games.
With this victory, Hanoi advanced to the semifinals of the 4v4 random category and turned Sparta into spectators. As for the player Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng, who has always been highly regarded in tournaments, he faced his first time leaving empty-handed without reaching any medal matches.
This is undoubtedly the biggest surprise of the Baby Love Cup 2020, highlighting that in Random categories, anything can happen and the skill levels between players are no longer significantly different. A rather unlucky and forgettable tournament for the Vietnamese AoE prodigy. Hopefully, this will serve as motivation for Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng to come back stronger in the upcoming tournaments.
