Đấu Trường Danh Vọng (ĐTDV) is not just where esports legends are celebrated, it’s also a stage showcasing the incredible effort behind the scenes. During the recent Grand Final, millions of fans erupted hearing MC Phương Thảo’s powerful voice. But few knew that behind her bright smile and vibrant energy was a quiet battle with a 39-degree fever just before showtime.

Vietnam Record and a Dream to Elevate Local Esports

Recently, Phương Thảo proudly announced that ĐTDV set the record for the largest 3D Mapping stage in Vietnam. This isn’t just a dry number on a certificate but the result of serious investment and the passion of a huge team aiming to deliver a top-tier visual experience for fans.

For Phương Thảo, that stage is worth every second of waiting from thousands of live spectators and millions watching online. She emotionally shared on her personal page:

“Right now, I’m excited to announce a special update: Today’s event officially SETS A NEW RECORD – the esports event with the largest 3D Mapping stage in Vietnam!

After many seasons, this stage still deserves the wait of thousands of fans and our dedication! I say ‘our’ because over the years I’ve come to feel like part of Đấu Trường Danh Vọng, a tournament where I’ve witnessed stars pushing themselves beyond criticism and the burning desire to raise Vietnamese esports to new heights through every stage my colleagues create.”

Phương Thảo’s journey at ĐTDV is more than just hosting. It’s about observing and supporting young stars as they strive to improve, overcome harsh criticism, and shine. More than anything, she feels the fiery passion of her colleagues behind the scenes who constantly strive to raise each esports season to a higher, more professional level.

Fighting Through a 39-Degree Fever to Give Her All

Without her post-event confession, no one would have guessed Phương Thảo was struggling with her health. The night before the final, she was down with a high fever of 39 degrees and a swollen throat, a nightmare for any host.

Backstage, she sipped lemon honey to soothe her throat, trying to keep her voice steady. But as soon as she stepped on stage, facing tens of thousands of eager eyes, she gave it her all, full of energy as if she wasn’t sick at all.

Seeing Phương Thảo standing confidently on the grand 3D Mapping stage, her sense of responsibility clearly played a big part in the night’s huge success.

A Dazzling Farewell with a Bittersweet Promise

Phương Thảo nailed her role, but her closing words left fans feeling a little sad and worried: “See you next season! (Well, maybe not, because I might go study abroad again).”

This isn’t the first time Phương Thảo’s plans to study abroad have come up, but after such a record-breaking season, her uncertain farewell feels especially emotional. To the Liên Quân Mobile community, she’s more than just an MC, she’s the soul and an irreplaceable icon of the ĐTDV stage.
