Beautiful, dynamic is what the audience impressed about the MC in many VALORANT tournaments over the past time. In more than 1 year of accompanying this game, she is also considered the most prominent pink ball. Let’s chat with Linh Nang and listen to this female Esports MC share more!
Hi Linh Nang, your nickname is quite special, can you share why you chose this name?
– Actually, my nickname doesn’t have any deep meaning. When I was in school, I especially liked the nickname Sunny. But Linh Sunny has a lot of people, so I took a more pure Vietnamese name to avoid duplicates. Linh Nang is a random nickname, but it has been attached to me and my work as it is now. Even now, sometimes people call my real name Phuong Linh, I don’t recognize it.
It’s been a while since I’ve been MC Esports, what’s the point that people easily misunderstand when doing this job?
– If talking about MC Esports, people will immediately think of a beautiful girl, always dressed in a neat dress appearing on radio channels. But in order to have quality commentary sessions, interesting news, I also always have to study and update new knowledge so as not to be out of date. Must capture information about teams, tactics, and meta for each version to ensure expertise. Besides, you must also have good pressure tolerance when sometimes you will also receive bad comments. And there are many other requirements and difficulties that Esports MCs like me must ensure.
So what is the biggest challenge for you?
– For me, every difficulty will have a way to overcome. There is only one problem that is the health side to meet the weight of the work. With the specific game that I am accompanying, a day of Linh’s interpretation usually lasts for more than 12 hours, even up to 20 hours a day. Moreover, sometimes these tournaments are even at night time.
So there are times when health is not guaranteed and cannot continue to lead. At that time, it was really sad, but my heart was as hot as fire. Perhaps those were my most helpless moments. I love my current job and to maintain that love, I’m trying to take care of my health to accompany and devote to this game.
So if you weren’t MC, what do you think you’re doing right now?
– If I didn’t do MC, I would probably work in Marketing Communications right now. Or if possible, I also want to try business, especially related to fnb (food and food service industry).
Who is the colleague that Linh Nang is closest to at 500Bros?
– I’m not exaggerating when I’m close with a lot of guys in the company. Because before officially entering 500Bros, I had nearly 1 year working with production company tournaments. For me, they are not only colleagues, but also brothers so that I can confide and share even in real life.
Three characteristics of Linh Nang that not everyone knows?
– Skillful: I am a person who, once I do something, will be very elaborate, careful and disciplined. So sometimes I will spend a lot of time on something, just to make sure everything is as neat as possible.
– “Galaxy”: It sounds weird, but I’m a very gallant person with girlfriends, very pampering and cherishing the girls around me. For example, I am willing to carry heavy things or open the door for girls…
– Dose: I have a high dose of blood, ready to overcome my limits to try new fields. That is also the reason that Linh likes to take risks and wants to explore her own abilities. Sometimes it brings me to new opportunities. As I once decided to quit my job at an old agency to challenge myself in the field of Esports – a new field for me.
One of your favorite names in the Vietnamese gaming industry, who is that person?
– Since I have not joined this field, I have liked Do Mixi very much and this is also the person I love the most. I like his friendly personality and his fun and close chat streams with the audience.
Share a little bit more about love. How many relationships have you been in?
– I’ve been in 2 relationships.
So if you self-review your love experience on a 10-point scale, how many points will Linh Nang be?
– Although I fell in love twice, my love experience is still not much. But to rate the understanding of stories and psychology in love, I confidently give it a 9/10!
What is the type of person of the opposite sex that makes the strongest impression on you when you first meet?
-I was impressed from the first time we met, it must have been a lot in terms of looks. Probably a tall man with a deep voice. I feel like I will be a warm and protective person.
What about the ideal boyfriend?
– I like a boyfriend who is more mature and better than me. With Linh, only people who make you respect can have feelings. Besides, if it’s a little more interesting, funny, psychological, pampering, that’s great too.
Thank you Linh for the chat, wish you more success in the future!
