From Da Nang International Airport, it only takes about 15 minutes to reach Tien Son Sports Palace by taxi or ride-hailing services. For fans coming from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or other provinces, booking flights is relatively easy due to Da Nang's numerous flight connections.

Notably, singer Orange's appearance at the opening ceremony, performing the songs "Co dau thi dau mot minh" and "Loi nguoc dong", will energize the atmosphere from the very first moments.

Fans will also witness 10 cosplay performances recreating League of Legends characters on the main stage. Meanwhile, the Fan Zone will offer various interactive activities, minigames, and souvenir stalls for fans to check in, collect gifts, and connect with the community.

Connecting with the LMHT fan community: Attending the LCP 2025 Finals Weekend not only allows spectators to watch intense matches featuring the strongest teams from Asia-Pacific, but it also provides the opportunity to experience a true esports festival atmosphere. With Vietnam hosting the Asia-Pacific regional finals for the first time, this event holds special significance for the domestic gaming community.

Da Nang, known as a "livable city", boasts attractions like My Khe beach, Dragon Bridge, Marble Mountains, and the ancient town of Hoi An, located not far from the city center. These elements promise to turn the trip for both domestic and international fans into a memorable esports-tourism vacation. Local specialties such as bun mam nem (vermicelli noodles with fermented fish sauce), banh cuon thit heo (steamed rice rolls with pork), com ga (chicken rice), and sua dau (soy milk) were also recommended to fans by TSW player Taki, who is competing in his hometown.
