The first semi -final match between Korean League of Legends vs China is considered the “Early Final” of ASIAD 19. Because which team won this match will almost hold the Gold Medal ASIAD 19, when only facing Taipei China or Vietnam in the final. In the past, at ASIAD 18, when electronic sports in general and League of Legends in particular were counted as performances, China defeated Korea with a score of 3-1 in the final and won a gold medal (excluding the overall table).
In 2020, Invenglobal posted information about the proposal of Korean officials, involving allowing electronic sports players to delay the time limit for military service, based on their contributions to the development of the national face.
The content was drafted by the Redender Jeon Ki, under the initiation of MP Jeong Yong-Gi and was responded by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea. Accordingly, the content of the proposal presented to the Korean National Assembly on allowing individuals and collectives to contribute to raising the country's name in the international arena, in the fields of entertainment, sports and culture, postponed the term of military service. In other words, individuals and collectives that meet eligible will be extended to enlist from 28 years old to 30 years old.
At ASIAD 19, electronic sports (eSports) have become the official medal painting. Accordingly, if the Korean League of Legends team won the ASIAD 19 gold medal, the players will enjoy similar sanctions with Son Heung-Min football star: Participating in a 3-week military training course, and participating in volunteer and welfare activities in accordance with the Korean government.
