Originating from the League of Legends arena, Sena quickly became a widely recognized name in the community when he paired up with Teacher Ba.
However, peace was short-lived as Sena repeatedly got embroiled in drama, gradually building a negative image in the eyes of the community. Despite being helped several times by peers in the gaming and streaming world such as Teacher Ba, Sena continued down the same path with his gambling debts reaching a staggering 1.3 billion.
Following that incident, Teacher Ba severed ties with Sena, and the League of Legends community increasingly ostracized this infamous streamer due to his negative “content”. After leaving SBTC, Sena was even accused multiple times of scamming friends and girlfriends, and not long ago, a creditor threatened to send him to “jail”.
Just when it seemed Sena was “blacklisted” in the Vietnamese gaming scene, this streamer has recently made a “comeback” in the Esports arena as the captain of a PUBG (PC) team in an upcoming online tournament. Overlooking the issues off-screen, PUBG is a completely different game from League of Legends, making Sena’s return something few anticipated.
Upon hearing the news of Sena becoming the leader of a PUBG team, the gaming community was extremely bewildered, confused, and offered mixed opinions on the matter.
Some even left comments “mocking”: “Will Teacher Huấn Hoa Hồng, Teacher Lộc Phụ Hồ, and Teacher Tiến Bịp be invited to be team captains too?”
Lastly, many gamers expressed their outrage over the tournament organizers’ choice to invite Sena as a guest: “Still letting that money scamming guy get into the spotlight to gain fame and make money. Who would want to play with this fraud? No way.”
Not only does Sena have a “checkered past”, but the fact that he is not a famous name with significant influence in the PUBG community also contributed to many players of this survival game feeling dissatisfied. They argue that there are many streamers and influencers who have contributed to building the PUBG community in Vietnam, and those individuals deserve to be featured in this tournament.
However, if the choice of Sena was made to increase engagement, it is indeed a strategy that never gets old. The announcement post introducing Sena by the tournament organizers garnered over 3000 likes and nearly 2000 comments, far surpassing other guest/player introduction posts, which typically only ranged between 500 – 600 likes.
