“Bomb Tấn” Makes Waves in the Vietnamese Esports Community
On the last evening of the lunar year 2025, Garena stirred excitement within the Vietnamese Esports community by launching a promotional package offering up to 600% discounts for FC Online. It must be noted that this is one of the largest promotional packages ever seen in the history of Vietnamese Esports. Even seasoned gamers who had previously lost interest were drawn back in due to the appealing advantages of this offer.
According to many gamers, right after the official launch of the promotional package, FC Online witnessed a surge in the number of players logging in and making purchases. Moreover, the event caused server congestion, and many gamers had to wait in long queues. However, as noted by various gamers, since these promotional offers are so attractive, this event is entirely justified.
Many gamers also reported that due to this promotional package, numerous others were prepared to “spend money” to benefit.
Remembering the Golden Era of Gaming
Before Garena’s current promotional event, many gamers reminisced about the past. With various games from different publishers available, Vietnamese players have experienced numerous promotional offers, including those from “Garena.” However, after some publishers took over titles from Garena, these promotional offers have become less frequent.
Certainly, Garena still has several ongoing issues and challenges. The promotional formats and their implementation in FC Online serve as a kind of gacha. However, many gamers often express their dissatisfaction. For these players, the requirement to “spend money” often comes with conditions that put pressure on them.
Moreover, with this current promotional event, Garena has also focused on understanding the mindset of players and the realities of the gaming environment. Many games are now ready to return to FC Online, indicating that Garena’s efforts are not just about scoring points in the gaming community but also managing to create a “perfect moment,” providing significant benefits for the publisher.
