The Korea eSports Association announced the official roster for Team Korea in League of Legends for the 2026 Summer Asian Games. The selection includes six players: Zeus, Canyon, Faker, Zeka, Gumayusi, and Keria. This roster represents the national team for the tournament scheduled between September 19 and October 4, 2026.
Six players selected by KeSPA for the national team tournament
The lineup features three players from Hanwha Life Esports, including Zeus and Zeka. Gumayusi joins the team as well, marking a reunion with Keria in the bot lane. This pairing occurs after Gumayusi left T1 following the 2025 World Championship. Canyon serves as the sole representative from Gen.G in the starting five.
Notable omissions from the squad include Oner and Chovy. KeSPA cited performance in the regular season, KeSPA Cups, and Worlds since 2024 as primary criteria. The selection process also weighed individual awards and specific in-game metrics such as KDA, damage per minute, and vision score.
Insider Gaming reported the announcement on August 1, 2026. The organization has not confirmed whether the same roster will compete in the Esports Nations Cup later in November. It remains unclear if the selection process will repeat for that event.
