Not long ago, the ASIAD organizers announced a controversial decision to use the 13.12 version of League of Legends for the tournament. With this version being released several months ago, many teams have even found it difficult to prepare adequately. Even for a strong team like South Korea, competing in version 13.12 is seen as quite challenging.
However, according to the latest comments from the South Korean players, they seem to face no obstacles at all. In fact, Kanavi himself shared with the media that they actually hold a strategic advantage. This is due to the fact that all South Korean players are performing exceptionally well and executing strategies brilliantly.
“The LPL teams are very skilled in team fights, which is their advantage. Meanwhile, I feel that the South Korean players perform extremely well regardless of their positions. My teammates in the national team coordinate perfectly and execute strategies excellently. Although we haven’t faced the LPL yet, in terms of strategy, we are the ones holding the advantage,” Kanavi shared.
It is worth noting that with the support of related parties, the South Korean League of Legends team has been practicing on version 13.12 over the past time. In fact, the South Korean players are also performing exceptionally well in this version while competing in the regional tournament. Notably, Ruler has achieved consecutive victories with Xayah and Kai’Sa while playing alongside JD Gaming (JDG).
Therefore, the South Korean team will not face any disadvantages regarding the tournament version at ASIAD. Coupled with their recent string of victories in friendly matches, South Korean LoL fans have even more reasons to trust in their team’s success at the upcoming Asian Games.
