HLE continues to visit Vietnam, but there’s one piece of information that has left the community in disbelief.
In recent years, as LCK teams have started to pay more attention to the VCS region, several players and even entire teams have made plans to visit the S-shaped land. Notable examples include Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports. The Hanwha Life insurance brand is also quite familiar to the Vietnamese people. Recently, this organization announced a new FANFEST to be held in Ho Chi Minh City on June 18, with all five members present.
Thus, HLE will become the first LCK team to visit Vietnam for two consecutive years. Meanwhile, Peanut will also be the first LCK player to visit Vietnam three times or more. For those who may not know, Peanut had previously visited Vietnam while playing for Gen.G. At that time, this team had booked tickets to Vietnam for MSI 2019 but couldn’t secure a slot, and perhaps not wanting to waste their tickets, the whole team still went out to have fun.
However, the detail that has surprised the community the most is the ticket price for the event. Accordingly, the highest ticket price is only about 400k VND per person for the best seats. Considering the stature of HLE players in the current League of Legends scene, including three World Champions, such ticket prices can be considered very reasonable and fan-friendly.
Vietnamese League of Legends Community Concerned About Ticket Competition for HLE’s Event
But with such low ticket prices, many fans are worried that getting tickets will become more difficult. Especially since the announced venue is Tan Binh Stadium, which has a limited capacity (around 2000 seats). Moreover, holding the event in Ho Chi Minh City will require many fans to travel a long distance, potentially incurring additional costs for accommodation and meals.
However, the opportunity to meet top LCK superstars, especially since this year HLE will also include Zeus – who has many fans since his time with T1, is a rare occurrence. Therefore, fans will likely compete fiercely, not unlike the race for tickets to MSI that HLE is currently in.
