“Unprecedented Blockbuster” in the Vietnamese Esports Gaming Community
On the evening of the last days of the lunar year 2025, Garena sent the Vietnamese Esports gaming community into a frenzy by launching a promotional package of up to 600% for FC Online. It must be said that this is a promotional package that has almost never existed in the history of Esports in Vietnam. Even gamers who seemed unlikely to recharge again were attracted by this offer.
According to many gamers, on the very evening after Garena officially opened the promotional package, FC Online recorded a huge influx of players rushing to recharge. In fact, the event even caused server congestion, and many gamers had to reluctantly wait for another time. However, according to gamers, since the player packages this time will also be very expensive, this offer is completely reasonable.
Many gamers also admitted that because of this promotional package, many were willing to “donate blood” again.
Gamers Remembering the Glory Days
Before Garena’s “huge” promotion, many gamers reminisced about the past. Because, for some gamers who can play titles from various publishers, Vietnamese players used to receive many recharge incentives from “Fried Chicken”. Meanwhile, some publishers that took over titles from Garena no longer offered many of these incentives.
Of course, Garena does have its issues, and the methods of opening cards in FC Online are also a type of gacha. However, many gamers often express their regret. For these players, they are willing to “donate blood” as long as the benefits from the publisher are commensurate.
Not to mention, with this huge promotion, Garena has also tapped into the psychology of players, and in fact, many gamers are willing to return to FC Online. It can be said that this move by Garena not only scores points in the hearts of gamers but is also a “right person at the right time” maneuver, bringing almost absolute benefits to this publisher.
