In the Asian Games 2023, the victor of the League of Legends competition is predicted to be Team South Korea or perhaps Team China. Highly skilled LoL esports teams such as T1, Gen.G Esports, and JD Gaming reign over South Korea's various lineups of remarkable players.

Team South Korea was dominant in their swift victories against both Hong Kong and Kazakhstan during the Group Stage matches. Mid-laner Chovy started for the team in their first match against Hong Kong, where they played phenomenally and secured the win in less than 24 minutes.

As for the League of Legends tournament at the Asian Games, Saudi Arabia emerged victorious from the West Asia qualification competition. This meant that they bypassed the Group Stage altogether, having already solidified their spot in the Knockout Stage.

During the whole qualification tournament, Saudi Arabia dominated by winning every single game. Nevertheless, it will be a challenging feat for them to defeat South Korea, as they face an uphill battle.

The path to the Semi-Finals should be effortless for South Korea, who are undoubtedly the more formidable squad. Predicting a brisk 2-0 series victory in their favor seems fitting.
