If you haven’t heard, Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), developed by SCS Software since 2012, is a game with no real storyline, similar to Microsoft’s Flight Simulator. The player’s main task is simple: drive around in various vehicles like cars, buses, and semi-trucks. The game features many famous vehicle brands from around the world.
What’s even more special is that the game lets players become “drivers” not only in countries worldwide but also in Vietnam, where you can experience traveling across all 63 provinces. You’ll encounter unexpected, fun, and sometimes frustrating situations just like in real life.
Because of this, ETS2 has become a fresh source of inspiration for Vietnamese streamers who enjoy roleplaying as drivers with all kinds of personalities and challenges on their livestreams. Among them, Hoàng Sầu stands out as one of the most followed drivers thanks to his humor and relatable stories. He even set a record with nearly 24,000 viewers watching his livestream simultaneously on Facebook Gaming.
Starting out as a PUBG Mobile streamer, Nguyễn Văn Hoàng, known as Hoàng Sầu, struggled for one to two years without much success. No one really knew who he was. This was understandable since PUBG Mobile has a huge number of streamers worldwide. Feeling stressed and stuck, he even considered quitting. But instead of giving up, Hoàng Sầu took a big risk by switching to a new game, ETS2, to challenge himself.
That bold move turned out to be a goldmine no one had tapped into before. Like with PUBG Mobile, Hoàng Sầu faced challenges at first since ETS2 wasn’t well known. But his funny personality and real-life driver stories quickly won over viewers. From just 100 to 300 live viewers at the start, he now regularly draws 3,000 to 4,000 viewers per stream. Recently, he broke his own record by hitting 23,493 live viewers, cementing his top spot among online ETS2 drivers.
Though still relatively new in the Vietnamese streaming scene, Hoàng Sầu’s success with the unique game ETS2 is a powerful motivator and inspiration for many other streamers aiming to build their careers on Facebook Gaming.
