LoL record world champion T1 fully represented.

After League of Legends has already been part of the Asian Games for demonstration in the last edition, the title will be officially represented this year. In Korea, the entire T1 roster is part of the national team's lineup.

After eSports titles such as League of Legends and Hearthstone were presented to spectators as demonstration sports during the 2018 Asian Games, the electronic competition is now fully part of the event at this year's edition. In addition to League of Legends, there will be competitions in Dota 2, Hearthstone, PUBG Mobile (Asian Games version), FIFA Online 4, Street Fighter V, Arena of Valor (Asian Games version) and Dream of the Three Kingdoms 2.

League of Legends with eSports legend Faker

At the Asian Games, numerous countries participate in a wide variety of disciplines and vie for the coveted gold medals. In League of Legends, the clash between eSports greats China and South Korea is particularly eagerly anticipated. In 2018, the Chinese delegation won the tournament and relegated the competition from the peninsula to second place. This year, however, things could be different.

Last Spring Split, record-breaking world champions T1 led by superstar Faker put in an unprecedented performance. Throughout the competition, not a single team was able to beat T1 in a best-of-three match, and in the playoffs, which unlike the league are played in a best-of-five, the organization proved to be consistently superior to the competition. In the end, the team won a well-deserved tenth split championship. It's hardly surprising, then, that the Korean line-up consists entirely of the T1 line-up, supplemented by other top-class players from various teams.

The 2022 Asian Games eSports competitions will take place this year from September 10-25 in Hangzhou, China. This will be the third time the People's Republic has hosted the Games, following 1990 and 2010.
