The South Korean eSports League of Legends (LoL) national team, aiming for a second consecutive Asian Games title, achieved a comeback victory in the second set of the finals.
Under the leadership of coach Kang Dong-hoon, the Korean team defeated Taiwan on October 2 at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Japan, taking a 2-0 lead in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games LoL finals.
Starting players 'Zeus' Choi Woo-je, 'Canyon' Kim Gun-bu, 'Zeka' Kim Gun-woo, 'Gumayusi' Lee Min-hyung, and 'Keria' Ryu Min-seok faced early challenges, conceding control to Taiwan. However, they turned the game around in the later stages, securing two wins.
The finals are played in a best-of-five format.
Korea is seeking to become the first nation to win back-to-back gold medals in the LoL event at the Asian Games, having claimed victory against Taiwan in the inaugural LoL competition at the 2022 Hangzhou Games.
