BiBi teamed up with Hong Anh finally succumbed to Chim Se Di Nang
It can be said that BiBi and Hong Anh are among the most solid “fortresses” in the history of AoE Vietnam in the 22 Random category. Therefore, defeating them is an immense challenge for Chim Se Di Nang. In fact, this player has lost many times and has rarely won against this perfect duo. So when the match-up of Se He vs Bi Hong Anh was set, many believed that the old script would repeat itself.
However, what this match brought can be summarized in two words: “Surprise”. Chim Se Di Nang and HeHe had an excellent start in the first game, the acceleration from the beginning caused the “great war” to unfold differently. BiBi and Hong Anh lost control of the match to their opponents, and although they played well in the second game, this duo was no longer superior as they were against Chim Se and Chipboy. Meanwhile, Se He was full of spirit from the start; Se wanted to reset the game while HeHe wanted to prove his abilities. Recently, HeHe has returned after a long period of playing with fluctuating performance; now he plays more steadily and sharply, so even Se stated that HeHe would make a difference in this match. Indeed, HeHe’s speed and ability to pressure the age were truly remarkable; BiBi was neutralized by HeHe’s playstyle, and all hopes were placed on Hong Anh’s shoulders.
Hong Anh, the rule breaker of AoE, playing in his own style
This is the acknowledgment from a large number of viewers following the recent iconic 22 Random match. After the match, the most flattering compliments came not only from BiBi and Hong Anh’s fans but even from Chim Se Di Nang’s supporters, who had to admit that Hong Anh was indeed the best player of that match.
Hong Anh’s excellence did not just stop at the matches he had played well in the past. It wasn’t just about pressuring the age early on or trying to deal the maximum damage to the opponent to allow BiBi to balance the map. What Hong Anh achieved in this recent high-stakes match was that the player from Thai Binh knew how to play the game he created himself. Simply put, Hong Anh played AoE with his own personality. Certainly, the matches where he controlled the Carthaginian troops with a “mixed” composition including camels, archers, and transitioning from a single armor archer to attacking HeHe’s base while coordinating with BiBi to defeat the Assyrian elite archers in Chim Se Di Nang’s hands will be matches that the audience will remember forever. It seems that the player from the Thai Binh clan has mastered the rhythm of the game, exploited the strengths and weaknesses of each unit type, and devised his own strategies and playstyle. This continued to repeat in the last two matches in the fifth game, where Hong Anh was the one who excellently kept a narrow defeat of 2-3 against his opponents Chim Se Di Nang and HeHe.
Putting aside the win-loss situation, it is clear that a diverse, proactive, and unique Hong Anh in his AoE playstyle is the image that many fans of this player are waiting for. Let’s hope Hong Anh will continue to improve himself in the upcoming phase as tournaments are approaching fast.
