Who is Duckman?
Duckman was the original mascot of our founder's VR esports team, created during the very first tournament week back in 2017. Since then, he's been on the journey with us - from small community tournaments to full VR LAN events - and still represents the fun, community and slightly chaotic energy behind everything we do. He's part mascot, part good luck charm and fully part of VR LAN history.
What does my ticket include?
Your ticket gives you access to VR LAN 2027, including the main event space, stage show, social areas, freeplay zones, retro and arcade games room, and any confirmed showcases or partner areas. Tournament entry, qualifiers, cosmetics, giveaways or special activities may have separate rules or registration requirements, depending on what is confirmed for the event.
Do I need to compete?
No. You can attend VR LAN as a player, spectator, supporter, casual attendee or just someone who wants to be part of the community. There will be plenty to enjoy outside of competition, including the stage show, social areas, freeplay, retro games and arcade-style activities.
Do I need to bring my own headset?
Yes, if you want to play. VR LAN is a bring-your-own-headset event. We do not currently provide headsets for attendees. For freeplay, please bring your own wireless standalone VR headset. If you plan to play, make sure your headset is charged, updated and ready before the event.
What should I bring?
If you plan to play, we recommend bringing: VR headset, controllers, charging cable, battery strap or power bank, wired earphones / IEMs, any required adapters, comfortable clothes, travel plug or charger if needed. LAN environments can be loud and busy, so wired earphones are strongly recommended if you want to hear your game and teammates clearly.
