In 2023, besides matches at domestic tournaments or beyond, the MSI and World Finals, another tournament is also highly anticipated by League of Legends fans in Asia.

Of course, in terms of League of Legends, the LCK (Korea) and LPL (China) regions are always the two brightest candidates for the gold medal.
This ASIAD will be the first time Esports can compete for medals like other sports – source: Twitter
However, recently, according to a post from an audience, there was a questionable list of players selected to be in the squad to prepare for the upcoming ASIAD.
According to a revealed list, Oner was not chosen but Peanut instead – source: Twitter
At first glance, these are quite reasonable options.
Meanwhile, the 4 chosen Bottom Lane names are all very reasonable.
Chovy and Peanut contributed greatly to Gen.G’s championship at LCK Spring 2023 – source: Invenglobal
In fact, this list may still change when it is certain that all 10 players cannot participate in ASIAD.
