VNG's systematic training ecosystem aims to turn eSports into a high-performance sport, opening up many new career opportunities: from players, coaches to casters, content producers and event organizers.

At the Vietnam Game Forum held on the morning of May 24, Ms. Laura Li, Director of eSports in the Asia-Pacific region of Riot Games, commented that eSports is not only a starting point for passion, but also a serious career foundation, helping young people practice teamwork skills, strategic thinking and adaptability in a competitive environment.

She highlighted the potential for eSports tourism - when major tournaments attract thousands of international spectators to host cities, creating economic, cultural and community ripple effects.

Ms. Laura also highly appreciated the cooperation model with VNG in the domestic market: "Vietnam is becoming a dynamic eSports center of the region. Names like GAM, Team Secret Whales or Crazyguy are regularly participating in international tournaments.

Behind that development is the support from VNG - a partner that helps us maintain global standards but still be flexible with local identity.

From hosting VCS to Viewing Party Worlds 2024, VNG has shown its ability to engage the community and create real impact.

Not only does the Company have a deep understanding of the market, it also accompanies us with a common vision, common commitment and common success in developing sustainable eSports in Vietnam."

At GameVerse 2025, VNGGames collaborated with Roblox to organize the workshop "Roblox: An Immersive Platform for Innovation" to connect individual developers, game studios and brands in Vietnam with representatives from Roblox - a creative platform with more than 97 million daily active users.

Roblox is emerging as a powerful channel for game development and publishing. In the past 12 months alone, Roblox has paid out more than $803 million to global developers, up 15% from the previous year. The top 10 developers earned an average of $30 million per year – five times more than in 2019.

According to Gong Chen, Solution Development Manager at Roblox, what sets the platform apart is its ability to empower creativity for everyone – even those without a programming background: “More than just for fun, Roblox is an open platform for all types of content: media, shopping, entertainment, education, etc.

We set out with a vision to 'Reimagine how a billion people connect' in a positive and civilized way. On Roblox, anyone can create anything, anywhere."

Since becoming the publishing partner of Roblox in Vietnam in 2024, VNGGames has opened a "new door" for the domestic creative community.

With the goal of building a safe and culturally appropriate gaming community, Roblox - VNG has attracted more than 10 million users in just the first few months of operation.

The platform integrates international standard security features, complies with Decree 147/2024/ND-CP on cyberspace management, and provides a Vietnamese interface and domestic programs such as "Roblox Vietnam Challenge" to encourage user participation.

Vietnamese developers can now use Roblox Studio, take advantage of the global ecosystem and these support programs to commercialize their products to the international market.

Leco Studio is a remarkable example of success. The game TTDS, a community interactive game on Roblox, has reached 1.1 billion visits and a peak of more than 5,000 players at the same time, affirming the strong competitive potential of Vietnamese products when properly supported.

According to Mr. Tran Dinh Nam Anh - Studio founder, it is the combination of a strong platform and support network from VNG and Roblox that has helped the team overcome technical challenges, shorten development time and reach global players more effectively.

At the same time, the Company continues to accompany GameHub for the second consecutive year as a Jury, supporting the evaluation and consultation of potential game projects, contributing to nurturing young Vietnamese game talents.

As the largest annual event in the Vietnamese gaming industry, Vietnam Gameverse is organized by the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), VnExpress Electronic Newspaper and the Vietnam Gaming Alliance.

In addition to community activities, the event also plays a role in connecting and orienting policies for the gaming industry as a cultural spearhead and towards becoming a key digital economic sector.
