As we know, at the Asian Games in Hangzhou at the end of the year, the South Korean League of Legends (LoL) team will bring what is considered their strongest lineup. In addition to two players currently competing in the LPL, Kanavi and Ruler, the strongest mid-lane duo Faker – Chovy will also be present. This has sparked much debate about which name will start.

According to many opinions, Faker, with his experience and influence, will naturally hold a captaincy position that is hard to replace. Chovy himself has psychological shortcomings when stepping onto the international stage. Meanwhile, Faker often underperforms in critical situations during decisive matches. Choosing who will lead between these two names will undoubtedly leave much debate.

However, some of Faker’s own fans have shared in forums that they hope Chovy will start, while the T1 mid-laner will serve as a strategic backup. The argument presented is that Faker is a talented player with ample experience and battlefield composure. However, he has noticeably declined over the past few years. Since the 2022 LCK Summer split, Chovy has defeated Faker in two consecutive domestic finals.

Notably, another bold idea is that the two players could alternate playing in the group stage. When it comes to the finals, Chovy would start to secure the win. Some opinions suggest that this is to ensure a gold medal for the South Korean LoL team at ASIAD. And the gold medal would be the best outcome for Faker.

Of course, these are just ideas from fans. The lineup arrangement will ultimately be up to the coaching staff led by Coach kkOma. This is a tournament that not only players are looking forward to, but fans are also very excited as this is the first time LoL will be a medal-contending sport. Therefore, the pressure will be even greater, and every player must perform their best to bring glory to their country.
