One ticket – unlock a whole “universe” of eSports experiences

The fever called the friendly event VPBank Esports – The Heroes Convergence “VPBank Esport Festival: The Legends Unite” of the League of Legends competition (VPBank Presents T1 in Vietnam: The Promise Fulfilled) is stirring up the Vietnamese League of Legends (LMHT) community. Taking place over two days December 20-21, 2025 at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC), Hanoi, the event is not only the largest-scale e-sports festival of the year, but also a rendezvous for fangirls – fanboys to burn their hearts out with idol T1.

The point that “VPBank Presents T1 in Vietnam: The Promise Fulfilled” has been hotly discussed by the community since its announcement is the unlimited experiences, allowing attendees to spend the whole day “immersing themselves” in the true eSports festival atmosphere. The busy schedule leaves gamers and fans with almost no free time.

The first day of the event was open to fans for free, with the Expo area serving as the festival’s “launch station”. Here, attendees can freely roam among interactive booths, food courts, participate in minigames and hunt for lucky gifts. The festival atmosphere is even more exciting with cosplay parades, cosplay street dance performances and exchanges and autograph signing activities with KOL cosplayers, promising to attract a large community of people who love cosplay culture and eSports.

Cosplay is one of the main activities at the Expo area

Moving to the Expo stage, the atmosphere continued to heighten with the trophy display area of ​​T1 – the most successful team in League of Legends history. This is a check-in point that fans cannot miss, and is also the place where a cosplay contest brings together many prominent faces.

The highlight of the day is Mainstage – an area open for free but with “burning” heat. Here, epic battles will take place between 4 Vietnamese League of Legends teams, including Fire Dragon led by Levi as captain, Earth Dragon led by SofM, Wind Dragon led by Teacher Ba and Kiaya as captain of Water Dragon.

For those who love eSports, this is a rare opportunity to watch the competition live, fully feel the vibrant atmosphere from the stands, the cheers and each nerve-wracking action that can only be “experienced” when watching with your own eyes. Therefore, Mainstage is expected to be the “capital” of the gaming community throughout the first day – a place where just entering, the eSports atmosphere immediately flares up and “burns” until the last minute.

On day 2, the Expo areas will still be open for attendees to continue experiencing until the end of the morning, then from 12:00 noon, the entire event will become a space reserved for audiences who own fan meeting tickets. Here, the program is deployed seamlessly from the introduction of T1 and the All-Star Vietnam team, to the BO3 showmatches that the community is looking forward to. In particular, the historic showmatch between All-Star Vietnam and T1 will take place on the main stage with a nearly 500 m² LED screen, providing an overwhelming visual experience. This is considered a unique opportunity for the Vietnamese gaming community to directly meet international eSports superstars and live out the spirit of top eSports.

The most anticipated program in the event is the fan meeting with T1 taking place at 7:00 p.m., where fans can interact directly, listen to behind-the-scenes sharing and preserve the most memorable moments of the “idol swing” journey. The organizers also invited MC/Caster Lee Sung-Hoon – a familiar host to the LoL loving community, and also a “homegrown” of T1 itself, along with the “fire chicken” ATI – T1’s mascot – to stir up the stage. The appearance of Lee Sung-Hoon and ATI is a guarantee of a close, friendly and fandom-like atmosphere that every T1 fan yearns to immerse themselves in.
