Vietnamese eSports has reached out to the international arena with achievements in many major arenas. For example, the Vietnamese eSports team won 4 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and ranked first overall at the 31st SEA Games. Among them, the gold medals were in the League of Legends categories: Wild Rift (men's team), PUBG Mobile (individual), League of Legends (PC) and Crossfire.

At the 32nd SEA Games, Vietnamese gamers brought home a total of 7 medals (1 gold, 2 silver, 4 bronze). This continues to be one of the events that will bring medals to the Vietnamese delegation at the 33rd SEA Games held in Thailand.

"Vietnam's eSports level has improved, with a high position at the SEA Games. We are also capable of organizing international-scale events, demonstrating professionalism in the organization, spreading the spirit and cultural values of Vietnam. All sports need to target the masses, the community, and the audience. eSports is a latecomer but has grasped the direction. Student tournaments will be the foundation for professional tournaments and recruiting members for the national team," said Mr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong, Chairman of the Entertainment Electronic Sports Association (VIRESA).

The national student e-sports tournament is expected to help Vietnamese eSports find talent to nurture and train, aiming for international tournaments.

Within the framework of NSOC 2025, OEG is implementing a series of Unitour programs - a journey to connect the national school eSports community at 6 university locations with the goal of bringing NSOC closer to students nationwide, creating practical, interesting experiences and connecting the community.

The Unitour program at each school will include typical activities such as: NSOC 2025 Qualifiers; Talkshow, career orientation workshop in the gaming industry - eSports - technology - AI; Interact with players, KOLs, experience area for gaming equipment, new technology; Music activities, special cosplay and minigames...

Not only accompanying the student community in creating a professional, civilized, and healthy eSports playground, OEG also offers scholarships to students with difficult circumstances who have achieved excellent results at 6 Unitour campuses. In addition, more than 3,000 AI Training scholarships will be given to students during the tournament.
