Controversy Surrounding the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Roster
The Korea e-Sports Association recently announced the roster for the League of Legends division of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, scheduled for September. The selection of players like Hanwha Life Esports Choi ‘Zeus’ Woo-je, T1 ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, and others sparked debates within the industry. Some considered it an ‘unexpected roster,’ leading to divided opinions among officials.
The final roster of 20 players was chosen based on their performance in both domestic and international competitions over the past two years. However, controversy arose regarding certain positions, especially in the top, jungle, and ranged dealer roles. Many believed that players like Park ‘Viper’ Do-hyeon deserved a spot due to their outstanding achievements in recent tournaments.
Purpose Behind Park Do-hyeon’s Return

As the deadline for objections to the Asian Games roster approaches, the final lineup for the national team will soon be confirmed. This decision will be subject to approval from the Korean Sports Council’s Performance Improvement Committee in June.
