RtiTalk 小編1d ago
The e-sports "League of Legends" event at the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games has brought more good news. The Taiwan team today (1st) faced Vietnam in the semi-finals and won 2-0, smoothly advancing to the gold medal match and securing at least a silver medal, matching the silver medal record from the previous Hangzhou Asian Games. The Taiwan team will face the defending champions South Korea again tomorrow, challenging a formidable opponent led by the "Demon King" Faker Lee Sang-hyeok, and striving for the team's first-ever Asian Games "League of Legends" gold medal.
In their first group stage match, the Taiwan team encountered the defending champions South Korea. Although Faker was not playing at the time, Taiwan still suffered a defeat. However, the team quickly adjusted their state afterward, consecutively defeating Hong Kong and India, and advanced to the semi-finals as the second seed in Group B. Today, facing Vietnam, the Taiwan team continued their momentum, taking the first game and then the second, ultimately securing a ticket to the finals with a 2-0 victory.
This year's Taiwan team is led by coach Chen Ru-chih (WarHorse). The roster includes mid-laner Cai Ming-hong (HongQ) playing abroad, jungler Yu Jun-jia (JunJia), top-laner Chen Yi-chin (1Jiang), support Liu Jia-hao (ShiauC), Lin Yu-en, and the team's only returning player from the previous silver medal team, bottom-laner Chiu Tzu-chuan (Doggo).
"League of Legends" became an official medal sport for the first time at the Hangzhou Asian Games three years ago. The Taiwan team fought their way to the gold medal match, ultimately losing 0-2 to South Korea and taking home the silver medal. Now, Taiwan has once again advanced to the finals, not only matching the team's best historical achievement but also competing against South Korea for the gold medal again. If they win, they will bring home the first-ever Asian Games "League of Legends" gold medal.
The most anticipated focus on the South Korean team remains Faker Lee Sang-hyeok, known as the "Demon King." This e-sports legend also sparked discussion earlier this year when he met with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. The "co-appearance" of these two iconic figures representing the e-sports and technology fields became a focal point. Now, with Faker once again stepping onto the Asian Games stage to compete for gold, it adds further excitement to tomorrow's Taiwan-South Korea final.
