Team Korea showcased their dominance in the League of Legends finals at the 19th Asian Games, sweeping Team Chinese Taipei 2-0 to claim the gold medal for South Korea. The victory not only secured the top spot for Team Korea but also earned them military service exemption from the South Korean government.
In the first game, Team Chinese Taipei surprised everyone with their unique draft, including Singed and Kha’Zix. However, Team Korea remained focused and secured the first three dragons, gaining crucial buffs. With a controlled pace, they gradually built a significant gold lead and closed out the game with a victorious fight.
The second game was a tighter battle, with both teams fighting for objectives. Team Korea maintained their objective-focused playstyle and secured the first two dragons. A major turning point came when Chovy isolated Fofo’s Neeko and Ruler capitalized on the opportunity, leading to a snowball effect for Team Korea. They utilized their advantage to take down towers and secure the Baron, ultimately overpowering Team Chinese Taipei in team fights.
With this victory, Team Korea not only brought home the gold medal but also earned military service exemption. This exemption allows the players to continue their esports careers uninterrupted if they choose to do so. As sports personnel, they will undergo basic military training and contribute to their community through their unique skills.
This triumph marks Team Korea’s second medal at the Asian Games, following their silver medal in 2018. Their exceptional performance solidifies their position as one of the strongest teams in the region.
