For fans of League of Legends, the name Du Suong is undoubtedly very familiar. She is dubbed the “Goddess Host” of the LPL region thanks to her beautiful appearance and excellent communication skills. Recently, her wedding to commentator Quan Trach Nguyen has even gained fame, being referred to as the “wedding of the century” in the LPL region.
Despite her fame, Du Suong recently faced quite a bit of “backlash” from fans in this region. The reason stems from her wearing a cheongsam with an extremely high slit while working at the LPL Spring 2024. This outfit almost led her to reveal sensitive areas while moving on stage. However, the image of Du Suong trying to cover her body with this “revealing” outfit became a hot topic online, leading to mixed opinions about her.
Not stopping there, many LPL viewers also noticed that besides Du Suong, other female hosts in this region have also been dressing much bolder. Images of LPL hosts flaunting their long legs have even been used by the organizers to create content for this year’s Lunar New Year. Many believe this is the LPL’s way of attracting viewers as the LPL Spring 2024 tournament is experiencing a significant drop in audience.
Indeed, with LPL teams suffering heavy losses at the 2023 World Championship, viewer interest in this region has significantly decreased. Moreover, well-known players who attract much attention, such as TheShy and Uzi, have chosen to take breaks from competition. As a result, interest in the LPL Spring 2024 is at a “rock bottom” level.
This might have led to the decision for female hosts at the tournament to dress bolder to attract more viewers. However, this approach seems to be backfiring as the hosts themselves are receiving mixed reviews. Even Du Suong, despite her high profile, has faced her share of “backlash,” putting pressure on her and others.
Therefore, for the tournament to truly become more appealing, the LPL teams need to make a much greater effort in the upcoming period. If they can perform well and achieve success in major tournaments like MSI or the World Championship, viewer interest will return. This will also help relieve the pressure on Du Suong and her colleagues so they can serve the audience better.
