South Korea’s League of Legends roster for the 2026 Asian Games is reportedly facing formal pushback during KeSPA’s official appeal period, with multiple player representatives contesting parts of the federation’s final selection.
The controversy intensified following reports that Park "Viper" Do-hyeon returned to South Korea alongside his agency in order to challenge the decision after being left out of the final roster. The Bilibili Gaming ADC had been considered by many fans as one of the strongest candidates at the position heading into the selection process.
KeSPA officially opened its appeal window from May 18 to May 28 following the roster announcement. The federation previously stated that the final lineup was selected through a combination of domestic results, Worlds performances, individual awards and advanced in-game statistics.
