SEA Games 31 is coming very close with many expectations about the “golden rain” for Vietnam eSports in particular, as well as the Vietnamese sports delegation in general. In which, Lien Quan Mobile is considered by fans and experts to have the ability to achieve high results in this SEA Games, when the champion of the Spring 2022 Arena of Fame – Saigon Phantom is the representative team to compete. . Join Game4V to meet the person who laid the foundation for the success of Saigon Phantom (SGP), Mr. Yamate – Le Thien Ha:
Reporter: Hello Mr. Yamate, first of all, Game4V would like to congratulate you and Saigon Phantom (SGP) on becoming the new kings of the Spring 2022 Arena of Fame. Can you share with our readers your training schedule? When SGP approaches the opening day of the SEA Games, is there any difference compared to the domestic competition?
Yamate would like to say hello to all Game4V readers. After completing the domestic tournament, due to the urgent schedule and SGP only had 1 day to rest before flying to Hanoi. In order to prevent the team from getting tired, the team decided to rest for 2 more days and visit the capital before entering training with the usual intensity last Friday.
Reporter: Are the living and training conditions at the Vietnamese sports delegation’s station at this SEA Game any different than when the team practiced at the gaming house?
This is what the team was very worried about before moving to the capital. The team decided to come out a little early to prepare. Fortunately, Garena supported the team very thoughtfully when helping the team find a hotel, support costs as well as a studio to practice during the days in the capital.
Reporter: In eSports, Lien Quan Mobile has very high expectations, not inferior to the game League of Legends (LoL) – Do you and the players feel pressure when receiving high expectations? Especially after what Mocha ZD Esports suffered when it failed at SEA Games 30.
Saigon Phantom is also quite normal, because we have also won many international tournaments. However, this is the first time playing internationally at home, so SGP has a feeling of both excitement and excitement mixed with a bit of challenge.
Reporter: How do you evaluate the force relationship between the Vietnamese LQMB team and the main opponent, the Thai LQMB team this time?
In terms of strength between the two teams, it is 50/50. The Thai team with the core team Talon is one of our “acquaintances” at major tournaments as well as in scrims, so this won’t be an easy battle. Of course, playing at home with the support of the fans will be a great advantage for us.
Reporter: Many people say that if the Thai team both MarkKy and Nunu are on the list, the Vietnam team’s chance of winning the gold medal will be lower, what do you think about this issue?
eSports is not like traditional sports, if you put the stars into an all-star team, it sounds terrible, but the cohesion will certainly not be as strong as the teams that practice together every day. However, no matter which team, we are still confident that we will win the highest place for the Vietnamese sports delegation.
Reporter: What will be your goal with SGP after SEA Games 31? Win both AWC and AIC 2022?
Sure. When the goal was set at the beginning of the year, the whole team agreed to win the top place. In the AIC 2021 season last year, because of some unfortunate problems, SGP only finished in the top 5, so the whole team also aims to try to “revenge” in the upcoming tournament.
Reporter: In the immediate future, SGP will be the AIC 2022 tournament taking place in June? Can you predict the TOP 4 of this tournament?
Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan teams will still be the strongest names in the upcoming AIC tournament. It’s a bit difficult for Bao to choose the top 4, but surely all Vietnam – Thai – Taiwan will contribute at least 1 representative, the remaining name in the top 4 is probably us.
Reporter: What is your opinion about the fact that both AIC and AWC have launched a huge amount of prizes so far? Will 2022 be an important turning point to help raise the bar for LQMB?
The year 2022 is definitely a big hit for Lien Quan Mobile in particular as well as e-sports in general. Esports on mobile has always been popular in Asia, expanding tournaments and regions as well as increasing prize money will make this game stand out and attract more players around the world .
Reporter: As a manager and former player, do you often remind or give advice to your juniors about using the prize money from the tournament “wisely”?
The players of Saigon Phantom are all eager to learn and also very playful. Money matters are personal to each person. However, when they need it, I also give them advice as a brother in the house.
Reporter: A little out of the way, do you think other than LQMB, which Vietnamese eSports sport has a chance to win gold?
This year, the Vietnamese e-sports delegation is also quite strong, I predict that it is likely that this subject will win more than 5 sets of gold medals.
Reporter: If you are in a situation where you have to choose between the opportunity to attend an international tournament like AWC (240 billion in prize money) and compete in the SEA Games, how will you and your team choose?
This question is quite difficult because I can’t think of it yet, it depends on the decision of the whole team. If an individual is selected, I will choose to compete in the SEA Games.
Game4V would like to thank and wish him and SGP to achieve the set goals, bring glory to the country at the 31st SEA Games.
