First League of Legends Preliminary Roster for the Asia Games 2022 Was Announced

in Gaming
April 19, 2022
  • South Korea revealed its preliminary players for their LoL team for the Asia Games
  • It consists of all T1 members, as well as others
  • There will be an event on April 17 to determine the final roster composition

The Korean e-Sports Association has revealed the preliminary roster of South Korea’s League of Legends team that is going to compete in the 2022 Asia Games Hangzhou.

South Korea Reveals Preliminary Team

The start of the 2022 Asia Games in Hangzhou is coming ever closer. This is one of the continent’s largest sports events, featuring competitions in many traditional disciplines. However, this year’s event is a bit different as eight esports are going to be played as medal sports in the Asia Games. These include titles like DOTA 2, PUBG Mobile, and League of Legends.

Speaking of the latter game, South Korea has recently revealed their preliminary League of Legends roster. The Korean e-Sports Association (KeSPA) and DWG KIA athletic director KkOma conducted interviews and determined the ten players who will have the chance to be a part of the definitive roster later in April.

▪ JGL: Canyon 김건부, Oner 문현준
▪ MID: Faker 이상혁, Chovy 정지훈
▪ BOT: Deft 김혁규, Gumayusi 이민형

After this is done, the chosen players will train for qualifier matches which are scheduled for June. They will also have to prepare for the Summer Split, which will kick off in the same month. This is the full list of the 2022 Asian Games Hangzhou League of Legends preliminary players:

  • Top: Zeus (T1)
  • Top: Kiin (Kwangdong Freecs)
  • Jungle: Oner (T1)
  • Jungle: Canyon (DK)
  • Mid: Faker (T1)
  • Mid: Chovy (Gen.G)
  • Bot: Deft (DRX)
  • Bot: Gumayusi (T1)
  • Support: Keria (T1)
  • Support: BeryL (DRX)

As one can see, all of T1’s members have been included in the preliminary roster. This should not come as a surprise, as the team concluded a perfect Spring Split by winning it all against Gen.G and will represent their region at the Mid-Season Invitational in May.

Before doing that, however, T1 members will have to go up against overseas teams in an Exhibition match to determine which players will make it to the final roster. That match will be on April 17 and will be streamed on various South-Korean TV channels, as well as on YouTube and Twitch.

Playing games at such big sporting events is a huge win for esports and gaming as a whole. It signifies the rise of esports and their recognition by mainstream audiences. But as video games are entering more traditional competitions, sometimes they need to be changed a bit. For example, competitors will play a special version of PUBG Mobile at the Asian Games, aimed to emulate more traditional sports like racing and triathlon.
