As teams and fans gear up for the VALORANT Masters Bangkok playoffs, Riot Games is all set to roll out multiple VALORANT-themed activations to enhance the experience for in-person attendees.

From February 27th to March 2nd, fans will be able to come together at the VALORANT Night Market and VAL Lobby at EmSphere to celebrate their love for the game and support their favourite teams. This experience is free for all, and no event ticket is required.

Interactive VALORANT Night Market and Attractions

Located on the G Floor, EM Market Hall, the Night Market will be open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM (local time).

Fans will get a chance to earn exclusive rewards while enjoying VALORANT-themed attractions, including Tuk-Tuk Wingman, HongThai V25 Limited Edition Inhaler, and five exclusive flavours of the Bearhouse Bubble Tea.

Apart from this, an Interactive Night Market board will feature a real-life VALORANT Night Market and a makeover station will let attendees get agent-inspired hair colour highlights, tattoos and more.

“We’re giving it our all to bring the VALORANT community and players an immersive experience like never before, leading up to the adrenaline-fueled Masters Bangkok,” Siriya Kallayasiri, Brand Manager of VALORANT Thailand, told Esports Insider.

VAL Lobby – 1v1 Challenges and Player Meetups

On the 5th Floor, from 12 PM to 10 PM (local time), fans will challenge each other in 1v1 battles. The daily leaderboard winner will receive an exclusive HongThai V25 Limited Edition Inhaler. Players can also warm up in the range before competing.

For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, Cypher’s Spycam photo booth will allow them to capture memories with their Riot ID and rank, which will be added to the community board.

Moreover, fans will also have the exclusive opportunity to meet players and content creators, including Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo, Crws, Primmie and JitboyS.

Last but not least, for those who couldn’t secure match tickets, the VAL Lobby Watch Party allows fans to watch games together and cheer for their favourite teams.

“Whether you’re looking to connect with like-minded players at VAL Lobby or fully immerse yourself in the world of VALORANT at VALORANT Night Market, this is your chance to be part of something truly special,” added Kallayasiri.

“No ticket needed—just bring your passion, your squad, and get ready to celebrate VALORANT together!”

Fans who can’t make it to the venue or the watch party will be able to catch the action live on VCT’s official Twitch and YouTube channels.
