Hanwha Life Esports Renews its Partnership with THE PLAZA

Hanwha Life Esports, one of the top League of Legends teams in the Korean esports scene, has resigned its strategic partnership with THE PLAZA hotel, strengthening the connection between the hospitality and esports industries.

As part of this renewed collaboration, THE PLAZA Seoul Autograph Collection is set to roll out an exclusive hospitality package designed specifically for HLE fans. Those who reserve a stay at the hotel on designated HLE match days will receive tickets to the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) tournament for the upcoming Rounds 1 and 2, turning the event into a mini vacation.

Further elevating the fan experience, guests who opt for this package will also gain entry into a special giveaway, where they stand a chance to win a team-autographed HLE uniform.
