One ticket – unlocks the entire “universe” of eSports experiences
The buzz surrounding the eSports friendly event VPBank – Gathering of Heroes “VPBank Esport Festival: The Legends Unite” for League of Legends (VPBank Presents T1 in Vietnam: The Promise Fulfilled) is shaking up the League of Legends (LoL) community in Vietnam. Taking place over two days on December 20-21, 2025, at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC), Hanoi, the event is not only the largest eSports festival of the year but also a meeting point for fangirls and fanboys to go wild with T1 idols.
What has sparked lively discussions in the community since its announcement is the unlimited experiences that “VPBank Presents T1 in Vietnam: The Promise Fulfilled” offers, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in the true eSports festival atmosphere all day long. The packed schedule leaves gamers and fans almost no moment to spare.
The first day of the event is free for fans, with the Expo area acting as the “starting station” of the festival. Here, attendees can freely stroll through interactive booths, enjoy the food area, participate in mini-games, and hunt for lucky prizes. The festival atmosphere is further energized with cosplay parades, street dance performances, and meet-and-greet sessions with KOL cosplayers, promising to attract a large community of cosplay and eSports culture lovers.
Moving to the Expo stage, the atmosphere continues to heat up with the display of T1’s trophies – the most successful team in the history of LoL. This is a must-check-in spot for fans, as well as the venue for a cosplay competition featuring many prominent faces.
The highlight of day one is the Mainstage – an area open for free but with a “hot” vibe. Here, fierce matches between four Vietnamese League of Legends teams will take place, including Fire Dragon led by Levi, Earth Dragon led by SofM, Wind Dragon headed by Teacher Ba, and Water Dragon led by Kiaya.
For eSports lovers, this is a rare chance to watch live matches, fully experience the vibrant atmosphere from the stands, the cheers, and every nerve-wracking play that can only be enjoyed when seen in person. Therefore, the Mainstage is expected to be the hub for the gaming community throughout the first day – a place where the eSports atmosphere ignites as soon as you step in and “burns” until the very last minute.
On day two, the Expo areas remain open for free for attendees to continue their experiences until noon, after which the entire event will become a space exclusively for fans with meeting tickets. Here, the program will flow seamlessly from T1’s entrance and the All-Star Vietnam team to the highly anticipated showmatch BO3. Notably, 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 seen as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Vietnamese gaming community to meet international eSports superstars and fully embrace the spirit of top-tier eSports.
The most awaited program of the event is the fan meeting with T1 at 7 PM, where fans can interact directly, listen to behind-the-scenes stories, and capture the most memorable moments of their “idol-chasing” journey. The organizers have also invited MC/Caster Lee Sung-Hoon – a familiar host to the beloved LoL community, who is also a “homegrown” talent of T1, along with the “fire chicken” mascot ATI – to spice up the stage. The appearance of Lee Sung-Hoon and ATI guarantees a warm, friendly atmosphere filled with fandom that every T1 fan yearns to be part of.
