Before this match took place, many AoE fans believed in a ‘positive outcome’ that Tiểu Thủy Ngư could bring, partly because Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng had just gone through a series of matches with only draws and losses. Meanwhile, Tiểu Thủy Ngư was in high spirits and form, having just won the championship of the Thanh Thanh branch tournament in China.
In his championship journey, Tiểu Thủy Ngư defeated Đổ Thánh, Đại Trù, and especially Shenlong with a very convincing performance. For this reason, many fans of AoE in China trusted in a victory for their pride.
However, the developments of the match made everyone suddenly realize a fact that, despite not being in great form, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng is still too strong in Solo R Archery.
In the two pure Shang and Assyrian solo categories, Chim Sẻ easily defeated Tiểu Thủy Ngư with scores of 4-2 in pure Shang and 4-1 in Assyrian. His stability in aging up, R control skills, population management, and systematic military strategy are what fans are already very familiar with.
After losing in the two R Archery categories, the only highlight that Tiểu Thủy Ngư achieved against Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng was a 4-1 victory in the Solo Yamato Age 4 category. This is a rather new category for Vietnamese gamers, while Tiểu Thủy Ngư is currently the reigning champion of AoE China in this category. Therefore, a significant victory for Tiểu Thủy Ngư over the prodigy Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng in this category was something many fans predicted beforehand.
After a series of consecutive draws and losses in 2v2 or 4v4 Random matches, the winning streak for the player from Đan Phượng has finally returned. By defeating Tiểu Thủy Ngư once again, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng confirms his unique position in R Archery, and taking down the King of AoE Vietnam will still be a daunting challenge for players from the AoE community in China.
