The South Korean esports national team will send a large delegation to the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games to compete for medals. As esports has firmly established itself as an official event, much attention is focused on the performance of the South Korean players.
The South Korean esports national team participating in this Asian Games consists of a total of 41 athletes. The players are scheduled to compete in 9 specific events, including League of Legends (LoL) and PUBG Mobile, to test their skills against the best in the world.
