Notably, this tournament offers a total prize pool of up to 6 billion VND, making it one of the highest-paying sports tournaments in Vietnam.
Vietnam Esports Joint Stock Company announces the launch of the Winter 2022 Arena of Fame – the highest-level professional tournament for Mobile Legends in Vietnam. Particularly, this season will feature a prize pool double that of the Spring 2022 Arena of Fame.
Sports for a new generation with a record prize pool of 6 billion VND
After 14 seasons held, the Arena of Fame (ĐTDV) increasingly affirms its position as the number one sports tournament in Vietnam, demonstrated through record-breaking viewership numbers (nearly 100 million views during the Spring 2021 ĐTDV; over 673,153 concurrent viewers during the Spring 2021 finals, achieving the highest record ever).
Continuing the success of previous seasons, the Winter 2022 ĐTDV kicks off with an unprecedented prize pool of 6 billion VND, double that of the Spring 2022 tournament. Vietnam Esports believes that the record prize increase will create great motivation for players to compete actively, leading to a highly competitive and explosive season.
At the same time, this is also a positive move for the gaming community, showing that Mobile Legends and Esports in general are recognized as professional sports, similar to other traditional sports.
Competition – Teamwork – Strategy – Focus – Class
The essence of ĐTDV can be encapsulated in 5 factors (5Đ).
The first “Đ” represents the fierce competition between teams and individual players – (Đ)ỐI KHÁNG – as the tournament progressively enhances the quality, professional standards, and prize value.
Like any other traditional team sport, the spirit of (Đ)ỒNG ĐỘI – the second “Đ” – is crucial for participating teams, as they need unity among members to pursue the highest common goal.
A game with an easy-to-play mechanism yet complex enough to require strategy from the ban-pick phase to movement tactics in each match. This is the third “Đ” – the (Đ)ẤU TRÍ.
(Đ)Ộ TẬP TRUNG – the fourth “Đ” – is a necessity that teams must cultivate and achieve, as each match will unfold rapidly with a very high density of combat. Just a small mistake is enough to lose the entire match, so players need to be highly focused to handle every moment of combat meticulously.
And finally, (Đ)ẲNG CẤP comes from a top-tier professional sports tournament in terms of organization and scale, where the demeanor, level, and expertise of teams will determine who will claim the esteemed title.
“5Đ” is proof that ĐTDV has now become a professional sport, on par with other traditional sports. In the official trailer of the Winter 2022 ĐTDV, the “5Đ” elements are clearly presented, notably through blockbuster transfer deals, promising a fiercely competitive season filled with (Đ)ỐI KHÁNG between teams.
Here, each team needs absolute unity (team spirit), requires well-thought-out “Đấu trí” strategies, and has very high “Độ tập trung” to confront the reigning champion Saigon Phantom, with Lai Bâng at the center. The prestigious championship title along with the legendary honor shield will enter a new era, symbolizing a “Đẳng cấp” tournament, carrying a greater and more meaningful prize value that increasingly plays a decisive role in international arenas.
Mobile Legends currently ranks among the most popular mobile MOBA games in Vietnam – according to statistics from the App Store and Google Play in 2021 – while ĐTDV has also established itself as a leading entertainment sports tournament. This achievement did not come naturally, but from the advantages inherent in the game – easy-to-play, easy-to-understand mechanics, fast-paced matches – along with a systematic, professional development and investment process to create quality tournaments from community, semi-professional to professional levels.
The Winter 2022 ĐTDV will officially kick off from August 4, 2022, with the participation of 10 professional Mobile Legends teams, including: Saigon Phantom, V Gaming, Team Flash, BOX Gaming, HQ Esports, HEAVY, XT Extreme Gaming, TDT Esports, B2F Gaming, and MDH Esports. The participation of top professional players such as Thóng Lai Bâng (Bâng), Nguyễn Quốc Huy (Maris), Trần Xuân Bách (XB/Xuân Bách), Nguyễn Quang Hiệp (ProE)… along with the debut of many new names promises to bring an exciting season for fans of this game.
The Arena of Fame is the professional tournament of Mobile Legends in Vietnam, held regularly twice a year, since 2017. This is the Esports tournament with the highest prize pool in Vietnam, operated by Vietnam Esports Joint Stock Company.
Accompanying this season, the Winter 2022 Arena of Fame is proud to receive sponsorship from Sting energy drink, Hao Hao noodles, Shopee, and the official broadcasting partner MyTV. These are all very familiar brands to Vietnamese youth, demonstrating the strong attraction of the largest professional Mobile Legends tournament of the year.
