Fans will also have an opportunity to meet Ylona through a virtual backstage AMA session
After weeks of grueling competition, the 8 best teams from the VCT APAC Challengers Stage 1 Playoffs are gearing up for the APAC Finals Knockouts. Teams will be competing for a USD 150,000 prize pool, as well as the chance to represent the APAC region at VCT’s first global event of the year, Masters 1 Iceland, in April.
To celebrate the final stage of the regional VCT APAC Playoffs competition, Ylona Garcia is collaborating with VALORANT for an exclusive performance during the final day of competition on Sunday.
Ylona Garcia, a Filipino-Australian artist, is the singer and songwriter behind “Entertain Me”, the theme song for Neon, VALORANT’s first Southeast Asian Agent hailing from the Philippines.
The launch of Neon represented a cultural milestone for VALORANT globally and especially in Southeast Asia where Neon has been welcomed enthusiastically by local communities. Neon’s Agent trailer has racked up close to 8 million views since it was first released earlier this year.
“It’s an incredible honour to have “Entertain Me” be the anthem for Neon – it means so much to me to be able to highlight the Filipino culture alongside the introduction of Neon. The fans’ love for the song makes me even more excited to perform it at VCT, and I’m truly grateful to how they’ve embraced not only the song, but me as an artist as well,” said Ylona Garcia.
Apart from Ylona’s VCT APAC Playoffs Finals performance, a selected number of lucky VALORANT esports fans also have an opportunity to meet Ylona in a virtual backstage AMA session. Interested fans can register on Tier One Entertainment’s social pages:
