Putting aside their busy work schedules, the year-end period is a special time for families to gather, relax, and enjoy happy moments together. However, for those in Esports, Lunar New Year brings its own unique stories. Especially when looking at two standout hosts, Phuong Thao and Minh Nghi, who choose to spend their year-end days in completely opposite ways.
Host Phuong Thao – The Gamer Always Ready for Battle
Phuong Thao, a prominent host for Arena of Valor, is known for her energy, talent, and passion for gaming. No matter how busy her Lunar New Year work gets, she never forgets to plan gaming sessions during the first few days of the new year. Not only does she celebrate with her family, but she also dedicates the first three days of the year to gaming. She even jokes, “New skins, but the losing streak stays the same.”
For Phuong Thao, Arena of Valor is more than just work, it’s a passion and an important part of her life. Playing during the new year not only entertains her but also keeps her skills sharp and her focus ready for hosting and leading Esports tournaments. She sees it as a way to kick off the year full of energy and excitement.
Minh Nghi – Relaxing and Caring for Her Family
While Phuong Thao plans gaming marathons, host Minh Nghi chooses a different way to enjoy the year-end. After giving birth to her first child, Bomman’s wife decided to spend time focusing on herself and her little family.
She shared that instead of streaming or joining tournaments, she prefers to book relaxing massages with her husband, enjoying peaceful moments after the busy months of caring for their baby.
For Minh Nghi, taking care of her physical and mental health is crucial, especially after giving birth. These self-care activities help her recover from pregnancy and childbirth while keeping her spirits high, ready to face upcoming challenges in both work and family life.
She chooses Lunar New Year as a time to unwind and enjoy peaceful moments with her husband and child before returning to the Esports scene after a year-long break.
These two top hosts have very different ways of spending their year-end days, but they share a common message: even in the high-pressure world of Esports, everyone can find their own way to relax and enjoy life based on their personal needs and circumstances.
