T1 Entertainment & Sports is leveling up its fan experience this summer. The powerhouse South Korean esports organization behind global legend Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has officially announced the 2025 LCK Road Show T1 Homeground, set to take place July 25–27 at Inspire Arena in Incheon—and this time, the event brings a new kind of teammate: Spotify.
A Full Weekend of League, Valorant, and Fan Engagement
The three-day festival is part of T1’s ongoing commitment to connect with fans both inside and outside the game. Day one (July 25) will feature T1’s official LCK match, while LCK Challengers League matches are scheduled for July 27. For fans of Valorant, T1’s VCT Pacific matches will be held a day earlier, on July 26, also at the Inspire Arena.
Alongside the core competitions, the festival is designed to deliver a 360-degree fan experience with the following:
- Coordinated fan stunts using cards, light sticks, and chants
- Live cheerleading performances
- Multiple musical performances throughout the weekend
- On-site activations across the entire Inspire Resort complex
“T1 Homeground is more than a simple event. It’s a long-term project to share T1’s brand value and content with fans. With Inspire Arena as a starting point, we will set a new standard for domestic and international T1 fandom.” T1 COO Ahn Woong-ki.
Spotify Joins the Arena: Music Meets Competitive Gaming
This year’s T1 Homeground will be backed by a brand-new partnership with Spotify, marking the first time the music-streaming giant is integrating deeply into the esports ecosystem in Korea.
As part of the collaboration:
- Spotify becomes the presenting partner of T1 Homeground 2025
- A T1 Hub on Spotify will launch globally, offering fans curated playlists, player-picked tracks, podcasts, and exclusive video content.
- Spotify will lead interactive music-based activations on-site during the three-day event.
“Gaming and music have always shared a deep connection. This partnership with T1 allows us to create immersive fan-first experiences, soundtracking the biggest moments in and out of the game.” Gautam Talwar, GM of Spotify APAC.
T1 fans will also see their favorite players take over Spotify’s top gaming playlists, offering a glimpse into the tracks that power them on match day or help them recover after a tough loss.
Ticket Access and Membership Perks
Tickets will soon be available through Nol Interpark, with early access granted to T1 membership holders. According to T1, the number of pre-sale slots for members has been significantly expanded in anticipation of high demand.
