B.P.N, the young player from Clan Sparta, is quite well-known among the audience through tournaments where this player frequently partnered with Vietnam’s AoE prodigy Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng in the 22 Random category.
Together with the prodigy from Đan Phượng, B.P.N has achieved considerable success and is expected to be one of the young players who can replace the 96 generation in the future.
However, it was surprising when last night, a news site believed to be associated with Clan Sparta posted information about B.P.N parting ways with Team 1 Sparta. The situation would not have drawn much attention had this decision not come immediately after a Facebook account released content accusing B.P.N of match-fixing during this player’s AoE competitions?
Specifically, the Facebook account named D. Khánh posted a status along with photos believed to be evidence of match-fixing by a member of Sparta’s main lineup. Instantly, this status attracted numerous comments and mixed opinions from AoE fans, including many players and some notable figures in the Vietnamese AoE community. Through the shared content, this Facebook account confirmed that the player who committed the act of match-fixing is indeed a player from Team 1 of Clan Sparta and that player is B.P.N?
Shortly after, Sparta’s official page announced that last night, B.P.N had officially submitted a request to leave the clan to pursue his career. Regarding the management unit, a representative from Sparta also clarified the above information and approved B.P.N’s request.
In this rather “sensitive” context, following the Facebook post accusing B.P.N of match-fixing, this player immediately submitted his resignation from Clan Sparta. Whether the truth of the matter is that B.P.N left the team due to the accusations of match-fixing or simply that he no longer has the skill level and passion to pursue AoE is still a question that needs time to verify. What we want to highlight here is that in the context of livestream contracts for AoE players being significantly reduced, with sponsors limiting advertising spending, the lives of Top 2 players are not as prominent, and many fans like B.P.N will certainly be affected.
For this reason, many believe that B.P.N’s decision to part ways with Team Sparta is due to an inability to sustain a living through his passion as well as his gaming ability having reached its limits, making it impossible to compete for starting positions against other young players. In fact, in several recent tournaments, B.P.N’s name was not included in the starting lineup of Team Sparta.
The Vietnamese AoE community is currently facing a challenging period with the reduction of livestream contracts, the main source of income for players helping them stabilize their lives is lost. In this context, any information regarding accusations or match-fixing behaviors of AoE players becomes very sensitive.
