Esports Vietnam: Big challenges waiting for brave people
Esports industry in Vietnam has potential but in fact, is facing many great challenges. One of the outstanding issues is the lack of modern and qualified infrastructure to organize large -scale eSports tournaments. Investing in eSports in Vietnam is a high -risk gamble. The market needs brave people, enthusiasm and strong financial ability to succeed.
In 2023, a prominent name in the esports world appeared, initially solving the hot issues of Vietnamese electronic sports. It is businessman Duong Do (full name: Do Binh Duong), President of Ocean Entertainment Group, a young businessman, and a notorious young man born in 1987.
The achievement of eliminating the prejudices and the past of a “player”
As long as Google search with the keyword “Duong Do”, you will see a series of titles that attach this young businessman with the “giants to play super cars”, and another nickname is Duong Kon. But perhaps only the most close people side by side of Duong Do know: Behind the label assigned to that, the desire to start an entrepreneur and beyond, is the construction of the electronic sports background of his country always flowing in his blood. Right from studying abroad, Duong Do was determined to create a comprehensive electronic sports ecosystem in Vietnam, starting from the foundation of modern facilities and infrastructure to reach the world.
Formerly “playboy” Duong Kon, now businessman Duong Do.
In 2022, he and some of his founder of Ocean Entertainment Group (OEG) with the goal of building a comprehensive Esports ecosystem in Vietnam. From now on, the image of Duong Do has completely changed. No longer a “Yang Kon” young master with supercars appearing on social networks, people start to get used to the image of Duong Do – Chairman OEG busy in the preparation of events, participating in the meeting.
No one expected the president of a large corporation to be present early in the morning, fixing each of the MC's script, taking part in the smallest preparation of the National Student Electronic Sports tournament held at OEG Stadium last year 2023. This completely erased the image of a notorious car player before that people still know about him.
Start the Esports competition on the international standard with the apparatus with only more than a dozen experienced comrades but after only 1 year, under the leadership of Duong Do, OEG Stadium (OEG Game Center Joint Stock Company) has become the largest Esports entertainment complex in Vietnam. OEG Stadium has a capacity of up to 1,000 people, a successful venue for many major events such as the Northern finals and the National Finals of the National Student Electronic Tournament of 2023, with nearly 2000 spectators participating directly.
The image of the president who regularly comes to evaluate and check the operation of OEG Stadium has become familiar in everyone's eyes.
The person behind silently: both brave and “risk”
Very strong investment in OEG Stadium, to the point that colleagues in the field of electronic sports must also comment on Duong Do brave and somewhat, “dose”. This is not only a burning game but also a heavy loss. If only investing in “playing”, Duong Do can be temporarily satisfied with what Oeg Stadium has now achieved, but this businessman himself has a long -term plan: The first is to constantly strive to expand OEG Stadium scale to other regions such as Central and the South, in the hope of making OEG a leading chain of Esports entertainment and reaching out to the region and reaching out to the region.
OEG Stadium is the largest and most professional esports entertainment complex in Vietnam.
The success of OEG Stadium is the premise to lead to comprehensive Esports ecosystem. Through the organization of major tournaments, OEG Stadium gives young talents the opportunity to rub and learn experiences from the world's leading gamers, raising the professional gamers in Vietnam. This is also an opportunity for young gamers to interact with employers and professional teams, opening up many career opportunities in the field of eSports.
By this step, it is possible to use the word “success” for what Duong Do has done but President OEG himself has never spoken in the press about what he has done, nor does he appear in advance at the media at events. Instead, he chose to stand behind, a source of encouragement but at the same time, the commander, contributing to the creative ideas that are very necessary for the organization and management.
Building a comprehensive ecosystem of eSports in particular and the game in general is the goal of Duong Do.
On June 23, it will mark a special milestone, when OEG Stadium officially celebrate Grand Opening ceremony to widely introduce to the public. Also on this occasion, OEG will publish information about the Young Talent Training Academy in the field of Internet entertainment as well as the vision of the comprehensive ecosystem related to the game. It is known that the total cost for the Grand Opening ceremony is expected to surpass the number of VND 1 billion – the unprecedented scale before. Ready to “spend” on the opening event is probably also due to the influence of the “goose” of Duong Kon's “player” every day but it is also an affirmation for the whole -mindedness, investing in the serious game of businessman Duong Do of today.
With what OEG Stadium shows, we can all see the first step in the plan to open and break through the Esports country of Duong Do's home country. Now, wait and see what the results come from the aspiration and vision of this young businessman in the next time.
