Fans of Lien Quan Mobile Vietnam still have a reason to believe that their favorite game will stand up to the invasion of the conqueror of the glorious King of Glory.
Officially opened in Vietnam in November 2016, Lien Quan Mobile (LQMB) has spent 6 long years with many successes in terms of eSports achievements (2 world championships, 2 SEA Games medals). although not yellow, 1 Asian Games medal), brand influence (will be detailed below)… There was a time when, mentioning the word “national game” in Vietnam, people would think right to LQMB, not any other name. There is such a glorious “tradition”, so when it was announced that the number 1 MOBA game on the mobile platform – Honor Of Kings (VGVD) will be released globally, LQMB players in Vietnam still have great faith in the favorite game will gently weather the storm. Let’s analyze with Game4V the reasons, creating the confidence of the LQMB community in this article:
Design style, create diverse characters:
From the very beginning, LQMB was created with the mission of being a “pathfinder” for the Glorious King in the international market. VGVD itself, with its character design, and Chinese-style costumes, will have a hard time getting into the hearts of international fans, let alone a long-term business. The context at that time VGVD had just launched, did not have much reputation, so choosing to “clone” into LQMB with a diverse, Western-style shape was Tencent’s reasonable choice for the plan to conquer. market share of MOBA games on mobile platforms. If only considering the Vietnamese market, King of Glory will surely have a large number of fans at the age of 8x-9x when released, because this game possesses the “materials” to spread culture. belongs to the top class, has resonated in the fields of literature, cinema or even football for the above age groups, for example: Bruce Lee and Messi costumes of General Bui Cam Ho, costumes line Journey to the West is fully licensed from the 1986 TV “Super product” Journey to the West (music, character creation …), the characters are designed based on famous works such as: Phong Than (Na) Tra, Duong Tien – Nhi Lang Than) Tam Quoc Dien Nghia (Five Tiger Generals of the Thuc Dynasty, Ton Sach, Chu Du of Dong Ngo, Cao Cao of Wei …).
But according to data published from the publisher’s homepage, about 50% of LQMB players are young people in the 10-35 age bracket. This group, if counted from 10 to 18 years old, tends to lean towards Western and anime-style images rather than those with a slight Chinese culture. The proof is that LQMB has been on the trend of animizing the shape, designing costumes and graphics of the game to serve young customers. Therefore, in the event that the global version is officially released, LQMB will still retain a large number of customers with the advantage of diversity in design styles, character creation and costumes.
Need to know: Even VGVD has noticed this shortcoming, Tencent is trying to launch anime-oriented costumes for the “pet” game recently, to meet tastes. As for sculpting, they still haven’t done this like LQMB.
Extensive influence in the community:
6 years of existence and development is a long enough time for any game, LQMB is no exception. Referring to the influence in Vietnam, in mid-2021, the publisher LQMB in Vietnam announced huge statistics on the number of players, hours of viewing, and downloads to prove the profound influence of the game. point”:
– More than 30 million accounts registered to join the game.
– More than 14 million players/month.
– Over 82 million tournament views as of 2020.
– Over 25 million hours watched the final tournament of 2020.
– The largest fandom community in the Vietnamese eSports village, with an official group of more than 1 million members and many other clothing groups with no less than 100k members.
Above are the talking numbers that show how far the coverage of LQMB in the community is, not to mention the international achievements that LQMB has promoted to create for the country’s e-sports industry. First World Championships of 2019 (AIC and AWC). All those achievements of LQMB will not easily disappear overnight. If there is such a thing as a gaming culture in Vietnam, then LQMB deserves to be a part of that culture. It will take a lot of time and effort for the King of Glory to knock down the community-built ramparts for the LQMB in Vietnam, if that happens it will take at least a few more years.
LQMB “lighter”:
The capacity of the current Glorious Royal Family falls into about 9.16GB – That number with LQMB is 4.16GB. The difference between the two is stopping at 4.55GB, saying no more than this difference can completely create a MOBA game on a new phone. (Marvel Super War, a very well-invested MOBA game from NetEase, also stops at 2.96GB)
Although VGVD is famous for its very good machine optimization (Snapdragon 710 chip released in 2019 still plays smoothly at 60 FPS- ping 100ms – 4G or 60FPS – 45MS – Wifi – basic setting), however Such a big difference will cause many problems that make it difficult for players in Vietnam, who own many low-powered devices, if they want to experience VGVD, it will be difficult to witness the scene of the security guard, the uncle, the car. hug and play the glorious King like the way LQMB has been and is doing.
Wild Rift:
Many fans of LQMB, are using Wild Rift as a shield to cite the reason why King of Glory will fail in Vietnam. Theoretically, fans of LQMB are not wrong to use the bridge nature for this imposition. Because of the advantages that Wild Rift has, not all games can be owned, for example: Released by one of the largest game publishers in Vietnam, VNG – Inherited a huge fan community from League of Legends – Inheriting almost 70% of League of Legends’ AAA-level gameplay, with loads of accompanying content – Standardized world-class tournament by Riot Games. But after all the strength in the influence in the community, the amount of work on social networks, the tournament of Toc Chien in Vietnam is still not comparable to LQMB. That is also the reason, that LQMB fans are confident that the King of Glory will hardly make his overthrow in Vietnam if it does not have an official publisher in the country.
Although there is a support system to launch moves, it is not easy for gamers to play well with generals with many directional skills like Ezreal in Wild Rift.
According to Game4V, ignoring all external factors, the main reason why Wild Rift is still not as popular as LQMB is because its player skill requirements are higher than LQMB, players have to operate more buttons, do more tasks. more services (e.g. warding, warding off) and finally the game has a lot of directional skills. The difference in gameplay difficulty has pushed Wild Rift away with the mobile gaming community in general, as well as players in Vietnam in particular. The nature of the mobile game needs to have the quality of “instant noodles”, the operation is easy, the game ends quickly, not giving the player a “difficult” feeling after a game, whether winning or losing – This point LQMB meets extremely complete. What about its elder brother, King of Glory? We invite you to read the next article that will be available at Game4V in the near future.
