Bé Yêu Cup 2020, a tournament full of surprises
Before entering any tournament or format, it is undeniable that the most anticipated and highly regarded name is Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng. The Bé Yêu Cup 2020 is no exception. Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng and Perfect Smile Sparta had a perfect warm-up before the tournament. Their strong teamwork and high performance made many fans of this clan believe in a successful tournament.
However, after 3 days of competition, Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng himself was eliminated from the game in 2 categories: solo and 33 random. If the solo was a legendary match between the prodigy from Đan Phượng and the captain of BiBi Club, then the 33 Random was a “knockout” from Nghệ An. BiBi transformed into a superhero in a day of extremely high form; his victory over Chim Sẻ was entirely deserved. Meanwhile, Nghệ An showcased his desire with a successful “knockout” of Chim Sẻ Đi Nắng’s Perfect Smile Sparta.
As of now, many surprises have occurred at this year’s tournament. Partly because it stemmed from the draw format without seedings by the organizers. They were right to create a highly competitive tournament. The fact that top players faced each other in the early rounds with a luck-based best-of-three format created surprises. For semi-professional or lesser-known players, they had the chance to advance deeper into the tournament.
AoE Players in the 4.0 Era and Their Stories of Joy and Sorrow!
It can be said that it is rare for the outreach of an AoE tournament to receive such a large reception from the AoE fan audience. It is not an exaggeration to say that AoE players in the 4.0 era, the age of Facebook and social media, have a significant influence over the fan community. However, the rapid sharing of social media and AoE matches has also brought about many joyful and sorrowful stories.
Joy is easy to see; whenever a player performs well, you will receive their support, praises, and admiration from the audience. However, with the nature of a game that requires intense focus and consistent performance, if you lose concentration, you will immediately receive a “storm of criticism” from public opinion.
Audience criticism, even insults towards players, is no longer a rare occurrence in AoE matches on current social media platforms. For a professional player, they naturally have to get used to and gradually adapt to this. This invisible pressure causes a player to perform well or poorly in a tournament. Bé Yêu Cup 2020 is a testament to this; many players who were heroes yesterday are seen as villains in the eyes of the viewers following the livestream today. It shows that being an AoE player in the 4.0 era is indeed not easy at all.
The Bé Yêu Cup 2020 has concluded its first 3 days of competition, with some surprises occurring and some anticipated events happening. Surrounding the tournament are the invisible pressures of an AoE player in the 4.0 era.
