With the work Coach kkOma Officially confirmed to lead the Korean League of Legends team, Korean LoL fans have more reason to believe that the home team will win a medal in this year’s Asian Games.

But when the positions are not much of a problem, the position of the top lane and especially the bottom lane is receiving a lot of controversy. Most are still in the position of ADC. Because, with the current performance, Keria is also considered to be guaranteed for the Support position. But if both Keria and Faker are selected, and the Korean League of Legends team applies the rule that 1 team can only have a maximum of 2 players selected, then there will be no spots left for Gumayusi – ADC who is also on T1.

But if Keria is also selected and Korea applies the rule that a team can only have a maximum of 2 players selected for the national team, then Gumayusi may have to stay at home.

This leads to a problem: If Gumayusi really can’t be selected, who will take the responsibility for him. The first two names that come to mind are Deft and Ruler. But although Deft is experienced and skilled, it is not a problem, but Deft often fluctuates, especially in stressful times, such as the recent loss to Kwangdong Freecs in the playoffs. LCK Spring 2022.

As for Ruler, he is talented, his ability to “carry the team” has been proven, but Ruler has never played with Keria once. The bot pair often has special requirements that the two players need to have good coordination and this may prevent Ruler from being selected to the squad for the upcoming 2022 Asian Games.

Meanwhile, the position of Top lane is also causing many people headaches. Currently, toplaner in Korea is not lacking, but it is relatively difficult to find someone who can compare with Bin, Xiaohu or Ale, Flandre… on the LPL side. Since Nuguri and Khan retired from the competition, the LCK has fallen into a shortage of topplaners capable of turning the tide of the game. T1’s Zeus is doing quite well but he’s still too young and similar to Gumayusi, Zeus will also have a rule about the number of players/teams.

Nuguri’s long-term break makes the topplaner position of the Korean team also seriously short of names that can cause mutations, turning the game by himself.

Currently, this issue continues to be controversial in the Korean LoL community in general and the world in particular. This is an extremely important Asian Games when League of Legends has the opportunity to compete for a medal for the first time. Therefore, South Korea, China, and whoever participates will want the best possible outcome.
