Earlier, the Asian Olympic Council announced that e-sports would become a project for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which made e-sports people rejoice at the time. According to the announcement of the 8 official e-sports projects selected, there is no doubt that the "League of Legends" project is also included. At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, e-sports was still a performance project, and the Chinese team reached the final in the LOL project and defeated the South Korean team to win the championship, so LPL audiences naturally look forward to the Chinese team winning the championship again at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
However, it can be seen that with the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games "League of Legends" becoming an official project, the South Korean LCK Division also attaches great importance to this competition, and from the interview content before the game and the attitude of the players, we can feel their determination to shame the Hangzhou Asian Games. Even the Great Demon King Faker, who has been full of honors, is very eager to be able to step on the stage of the Asian Games and win the championship, which shows that winning glory for the country has an irresistible attraction for the first person of LOL.
Recently, the Korean professional e-sports association Kespa held a press conference, and the content mentioned at the meeting included the national team selection process that many people cared about. One of the most noteworthy points for LPL viewers at the press conference was that the LCK division said that it would consider the best plan during the selection. To put it bluntly, LCK said that in the selection of the League of Legends project of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the Korean team will not exclude overseas players, which obviously refers to the Korean aid that plays for the LPL team.
After all, in terms of level, there are only a few Korean aid players who can be called up by the LKG division, and Kespa directly named EDG's two Korean aid Scout and Viper at the press conference, which obviously means that the LCK division intends to select two people to enter the ROL project Korean team roster.
From the content of this conference, it can already be seen that South Korean e-sports attaches great importance to the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and the players in LCK are extremely eager to be ashamed. Of course, there are many excellent domestic players in the LPL division, but compared to the showdown during the last performance project, the competition this time will obviously be more intense, and the difficulty of defending the title can be imagined.
