LookAtVietnam – Viet Nam’s e-sports team will take part in the third Asian Indoor Games (AIG) with the aim of bringing home a gold medal.

Khoa, who has devoted himself to e-sports since it appeared in Viet Nam, said, “I paid attention to the e-sports event seven years ago. In 2003, Viet Nam had ADSL, and I had a strong attachment to the event. Those who had an interest, got together and we organised tournaments ourselves.”

The team includes four coaches and 16 gamers convened in Ha Noi at the weekend and took part a training course to prepare for the Games organised by the Viet Nam Multimedia Corporation.

This event will take place at Ha Noi’s Bach Khoa Gymnasium on November 1-4 with the participation of 200 gamers from 15 teams to compete for six sets of medals in the individual and team events.
