In the AoE community of Vietnam, the name Tiểu Màn Thầu is no longer unfamiliar to fans of the game. Growing up from the Hanoi training camp, Tiểu Màn Thầu quickly matured under the guidance of VaneLove through continuous matches. Joining BiBi Club after an invitation from BiBi, Tiểu Màn Thầu swiftly became a key player of this Clan, forming a formidable duo with BiBi that was one of the most terrifying in AoE Vietnam two years ago.
However, compared to other stars in the golden generation U96 of talented AoE players in Vietnam, Tiểu Màn Thầu has shown many signs of stagnation. Many fans believe that compared to Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng, Hồng Anh, BiBi, and Chipboy—the four most prominent names from the class of 1996—Tiểu Màn Thầu hasn’t reached the level to “sit at the table.” The reality also shows that over the past year, Tiểu Màn Thầu has exhibited instability in performance and signs of stagnation.
Therefore, in a quick interview with our journalist team, the player from BiBi Club shared that “The past year has truly been a difficult time for me in terms of life as well as my passion for AoE. Currently, things have improved a lot, and I want to reaffirm my position in the AoE Vietnam community.”
The year 2020 marks the return of Tiểu Màn Thầu in high-stakes matches against opponents who are rated higher than him. Victories against Chipboy and HeHe are motivating Tiểu Màn Thầu to achieve his determination to defeat the “monster trio” of the AoE Vietnam community. The player from Châu Quỳ further shared: “Many players, including myself, yearn for the day when we can defeat the three names considered the strongest in the AoE Vietnam community right now, which are Chim Sẻ, BiBi, and Hồng Anh. I have prepared my mindset to achieve my first goal this year, which is to take down Hồng Anh in all Random formats before thinking about the final boss, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng! Actually, there’s also BiBi, but currently, he is my teammate, so the feud between us will be calculated after I achieve my goal (laughs).”
Thus, it can be seen that Tiểu Màn Thầu has shown the ambition of someone striving to conquer his limits and break down the icons of AoE Vietnam. An ambitious and passionate Tiểu Màn Thầu will emerge in this year 2020. Before wrapping up our quick interview, Tiểu Màn Thầu expressed his gratitude to the fans: “I also want to express my thanks to the fans of BiBi Club in general and to myself personally. During difficult times, everyone has stood by me and been the motivation for me to continue pursuing my passion. Tonight, my journey to defeat Hồng Anh will begin with a 2v2 Random match between me and Cam Quýt against Hồng Anh and No1. I hope everyone will support me tonight!”
Will AoE Vietnam see another new phenomenon that is both new and old in 2020? Will Tiểu Màn Thầu’s goal of defeating Hồng Anh and challenging Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng be realized? Let’s wait for the exciting developments in the AoE Vietnam community in the near future.
