In September last year, WPC made its groundbreaking debut in Hanoi, and it instantly became a record-breaking sensation. The inaugural event shattered Vietnam records, attracting 1,020 Main Event entries for a VND 17.8 Billion (~USD 748K) prize pool. Due to this, WPC quickly secured itself as one of the most sought after festivals in Asia.
