2022 Asian Games LoL: How to watch Team Korea’s preparation matches

South Korea’s national League of Legends team played two evaluation matches with the 2022 Asian Games in mind. Here is how you can watch them.

The excitement is building in the League of Legends community as the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou are just around the corner. For the first time ever, esports will be part of the Asian Games’ official program as a medal event, with seven tournaments taking place.

With South Korea, China, Vietnam, Japan, and many other countries poised to send their best players to Hangzhou, the Asian Games will whet the appetite of League of Legends fans before Worlds 2023 kicks off.

South Korea national coach Kim ‘kkOma’ Jeong-gyun has called up a six-man strong squad for the event, picking players from T1, JD Gaming and Gen.G. The veteran coach has called up two mid laners, Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok and Jeong ‘Chovy’ Ji-hoon, who could be splitting playing time in Hangzhou.

With the tournament in mind, the South Korean team played evaluation matches against Vietnam and Taiwan on patch 13.12, the same patch that will be used at the Asian Games. Here is how you can watch them:

How to watch Team Korea vs Taiwan

After missing the match against Vietnam, Faker started in the mid lane as South Korea picked up a 2-0 victory against Taiwan. Despite the scoreline, this was a much closer affair than the previous series, with Korea on the back foot for most of the second game before a blunder by Hung ‘Karsa’ Hau-hsuan that cost his team a team fight and Baron.

With Chovy in the mid lane, Team Korea made light work of Vietnam and ran out 2-0 winners. The VOD of the series can be found below.

An important caveat is that Vietnam was without support Trần ‘Bie’ Hiếu due to illness. He was replaced in the series by mid laners Lê ‘Glory’ Vinh and Đặng ‘Kati’ Thanh Phê.
