South Korea’s INSPIRE Entertainment Resort will host the esports festival LCK Team ROADSHOW: 2026 T1 HOME GROUND for the second year in a row, with the event scheduled from 24 to 26 April 2026. The return of the festival adds another major esports event to the resort’s calendar and gives fans another chance to experience the property’s fan-focused entertainment spaces.
Festival Returns To INSPIRE
INSPIRE said in a statement that it wants the event to create an immersive festival atmosphere, allowing visitors to experience its full “Playcation” offering through food, entertainment, and other activities. The resort is positioning the event as more than a match viewing experience, using the festival to highlight the range of facilities available across the property.
The resort’s Aurora space will be one of the main features of the event, with media art content inspired by T1’s universe displayed on its large LED screen. INSPIRE said the visual presentation is intended to draw the attention of esports fans and strengthen the atmosphere around the festival.
Fan Activities Across The Property
The event will extend beyond Aurora and into INSPIRE’s MICE facilities, including the INSPIRE Ballroom. There, T1’s official branded booth will be joined by other experiential booths and programs from various companies, adding to the event’s wider activity offering.
Fans will have the option to visit photo booths within the Arena and take photos with frames related to players. According to the resort, it is designed to provide more avenues for the guests to interact with the event through various locations on the property.
Food And Stay Packages
INSPIRE is also using the festival to highlight its food and beverage offerings. A collaboration menu with T1 will be available at MJ23 Sports Bar & Grill, the resort’s American-style sports pub. The menu will include T1 Burger and T1 Burger combo meals.
Inside INSPIRE Arena, Quick Bites will offer game-day food items, including spicy jumbo chicken, dakgangjeong, lemon cream shrimp, and churros. The resort has also launched a hotel package that combines match viewing with an overnight stay, with the aim of making the most of its Playcation concept.
Resort’s Entertainment Strategy
Hyunmyung Lee, director of entertainment at INSPIRE, said the company is pleased to host T1 HOME GROUND again this year. Lee expressed that INSPIRE will keep attracting high-profile sporting and entertainment events, whether it is from the national or global stage, while highlighting the potential of a venue centered on the fan community.
T1 Home Ground is an esports festival where T1’s League of Legends and VALORANT teams compete in their games. The event takes official away games to another level by adding activities such as cheering and live music performances in addition to the matches, creating an interactive experience for the fans.
The event coming back to INSPIRE for the second time means that the facility will be using all its available resources, such as its resorts, dining, and hospitality facilities, to host an entire festival based on esports fans.
