==Trivia==
*During 2020, he was called Elephant from Thanh Xuan District (Vietnamese: Tịnh Thanh Xuân or Voi Thanh Xuân), although is it unknown as to whom called him that name first (some says it's Rambo (a PUBG Streamer) or Hoag (Team Revolution ex-rifler/Awper/IGL), which later developed a love/hate relationship with the nickname, as him sometime uses it as a joke and get mad (mostly for content). This alias usually paired with image(s) of an elephant and it's context-action.
*He used to joke about his age, stated that he's 31, not actually 21, because he have "went to jail" because he's "too handsome". As obviously, it was a joke and declared officially that he's 21, not 31, because if so then he wouldn't call Bomman "anh" (lit. Brother)https://youtu.be/vm-6bYA4sMg?t=141.
*He also did joke about his dad "work in the government" in a very "Vinglish" Accent when he were stopped by a traffic police on his vacation back home in 2017https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWo8y30Gr5c, which later were used as a sample by MDNSS in the song "ITG", which credited him in the song itself.
*In some streams, he can even speak Chinese (along with Vietnamese and English) (although is it unknown to whether is it Mandarin or Traditional, as he told that he must have a tiny bit of Chinese to play in 5E CSGO servers)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvL546YSV0o
*Dev was featured as the co-host in Season 2 Episode 19 of "Ký Sự Check Hack" by Bomman, which was then voted by the VNCSGO Community as "The Best Episode of KSCH".https://youtu.be/nGa3GqpreUE
