According to a representative from publisher VTC, 2026 marks a significant milestone in Audition Vietnam's development. The AVC clearly demonstrates a strategy to standardize Esports, featuring a well-organized process that approaches regional and international standards. This reinforces the game's position within the domestic electronic sports community.

“The tournament is a long-term strategy to build a professional Esports environment, helping athletes gain experience and enhance their skills,” the publisher's representative said.

Building on this foundation, outstanding players will be selected to represent Vietnam in international competitions, continuing the success of two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals at SEA Games 33. This standardization of tournament procedures is a prerequisite for Audition Esports to expand its influence in the region.

After more than 20 years, Audition maintains its strong position among Vietnamese players. Beyond being a competitive Esports title, the game has evolved into a digital cultural space connecting multiple generations of gamers. A clear testament to this is Audition reaching the finals of the "Game of All Time" category at Vietnam GameVerse 2026, thanks to community votes.

AVC 2026 concludes, yet it inaugurates a new development phase for Audition: a standardized process, emerging talent, and a clear international direction, promising many new milestones.
