Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2026) – The Asia Pacific Predator League 2027 will take place in January, marking Vietnam’s debut as host of Acer's flagship regional esports tournament. Now in its ninth year, the annual event underscores Vietnam's growing role in the Asia Pacific esports ecosystem, as teams from 14 regions prepare to compete in League of Legends and VALORANT, two of the world's most popular esports titles.
Since its debut in 2018, Predator League has evolved into one of Asia Pacific's established esports tournaments, providing a platform for emerging talent and bringing together players, fans, and industry partners from across the region. Hosting the event in Vietnam for the first time reflects both the tournament's continued growth and the rapid development of Vietnam's esports scene.
"For nearly a decade, Predator League has grown beyond a tournament into a platform that unites gaming communities across Asia Pacific. We celebrate competition, creativity, cultural connection, and the spirit of innovation that drives digital generations forward. As technology continues to reshape how we play, create, and connect, we remain committed to empowering the next generation of gamers, creators, and innovators, while building an inclusive ecosystem where passion, talent, and technology come together to create meaningful impact."— Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific Operations.
Ahead of the regional Grand Finals, Vietnamese teams will compete in a dedicated local qualifier, tentatively scheduled for October and November 2026, for the opportunity to represent their home country on the biggest Predator League stage to date when the tournament arrives in Vietnam in January 2027.
The Vietnam edition will also introduce a distinctive local identity to the tournament. Yuffy and Nero, the iconic Predator heroes featured in the tournament's branding and animated series, will receive refreshed designs inspired by Vietnam's rich cultural heritage. More than a visual tribute, the redesign reflects Acer's commitment to celebrating the unique character of each host nation while bringing local culture to the regional esports stage.
Further details on qualifier schedules, participating teams and broadcast plans will be shared in the lead-up to the tournament via
