Alongside JD Gaming (JDG) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG), LNG Esports (LNG) also had a successful group stage. They finished the LPL Summer 2023 group stage in third place with 12 wins and only 4 losses. However, due to the outstanding performances of BLG and JDG, not many believe LNG can win the tournament this time.
Moreover, even though all LNG players performed very well recently, none of them made the list for the upcoming ASIAD. After LNG’s victory over Weibo Gaming (WBG), fans expressed even more regret for the members of this team. They performed exceptionally well but missed the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games.
“In the last match, all LNG players played extremely well and completed their tasks excellently. Even GALA and Scout had a huge impact on LNG’s gameplay. It’s a pity that such outstanding players won’t have the chance to participate in the upcoming ASIAD, even though they deserve it,” a fan commented.
Of course, we can also understand why GALA or Scout are not participating in the ASIAD. Essentially, GALA and Scout’s positions have other exceptionally skilled players. In the Korean team, Faker and Chovy are not inferior to Scout in terms of skill. Meanwhile, in the LPL region, GALA finds it hard to replace Elk, who is currently in top form.
Therefore, it is understandable for fans that the aforementioned LNG players are not participating in the ASIAD. Moreover, this situation sometimes even helps Scout and GALA focus all their energy on competing in the LPL and vying for a spot in the upcoming World Championship (CKTG) 2023.
