Asian Games LoL Final: 3-0 Over Taiwan… Back-to-Back Gold After Hangzhou

At 12 p.m. on October 2, in Hall D of the Aichi Sky Expo in Japan, Korea's opponent in the best-of-5 final was Taiwan. Special Times reported that Korea beat Taiwan 3-0 to win the gold medal.

This was not the first gold medal. Xports News reported that Korea, following the previous Hangzhou Games, had achieved 2 consecutive titles, it reported. The final opponent was not a team Korea was meeting for the first time, either. According to Inven's report, Taiwan lost to Korea in Group B, then beat Hong Kong and India to finish 2nd in the group at 2 wins and 1 loss. Korea beat the same team twice, on September 30 and October 2, two days apart.

The final matchup was set in a single day, October 1. The semifinal on the other side of the bracket ended first. According to Inven, Taiwan beat Vietnam 2-0 and reached the final first. Korea advanced to the semifinal as the Group B winner and faced Saudi Arabia. The Korea-Saudi Arabia match started at 1:30 p.m., a time reported by both Daily eSports and Inven.

Final Score Also Listed as '2-0': Differences Between Sources and What Remains Unconfirmed

Some sources report the final score differently. Special Times and Xports News both reported 3-0 on October 2, but a personal blog post published the same day says 2-0. A best-of-5 match cannot end 2-0. This article follows the 3-0 cross-checked by the two outlets.

Sources also differ on whether there was a bronze medal match. Inven reported on October 1 that the bronze medals go to the semifinal losers with no playoff. On the other hand, an information page whose publication date cannot be confirmed lists a bronze medal match. However, neither source was confirmed against primary materials from the organizing committee.

We also want to be clear about the scope of verification. The matchups, scores, and semifinal times used in this article were cross-checked, meaning the content of multiple media reports is consistent with one another. They have not been checked directly against the organizing committee's official bracket. As of 10:00 on 2026.10.07, the official results site was accessible, but we could not obtain the body of the match records.

The Games' official photo gallery has LoL final photos uploaded, which confirms that the final took place. However, photos alone cannot prove the score or final standings. We also separately looked for prize money and bonuses and the full official standings table, but could not obtain official materials for this event. This does not mean there is no prize money; it means we could not confirm an official amount.

Korea's LoL national team's matches at this Games all ended with the final on October 2. Once the match records are posted on the organizing committee's official results site, the 3-0 final, the 2-0 semifinal, and the Group B record of 3 wins and 0 losses should be rechecked against the primary source. The official site addresses are listed below.
