The Asian Games are going to be taking place later in 2023, just before the 2023 League of Legends World Championships. Esports is also going to be a part of the competition, with LoL being one of the main events. 

Right after the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational Korea named their 6-man roster, and finally China has also revealed the six players they're going to be sending to Hangzhou.

The coach for the team is going to be none other than Zhu "KenZhu" Kai, the current head coach of EDward Gaming, who managed to be one of the best teams in the LPL during the 2023 Spring Regular Split. 

Now, with KenZhu at the helm the rest of the squad representing China has also been revealed to the public. Like the South Korean team, there is one substitute player.

Due to some unforseen changes, the roster has been swapped around, with Bin being the only top laner left, and a second jungler being added into the mix. 

JackeyLove, who was the original choice for the bot lane has also been replaced, due to "personal reasons" by the BiliBili gaming bot laner Elk, who has been tearing up the league. 

The esports matches of the Asian Games will take place at the Xiacheng District Esports Venue which seats a total of 4,087 fans. The event precedes the 2023 World Championship which is set to kick off mid-October in South Korea.

As announced by HUPU Esports on twitter, bot laner Yu "JackeyLove" Wen-Bo and top laner Bai "369" Jia-Hao won't be able to compete at the Asia Games. 369 cant mage it due to a wrist injury and JackeyLove left to "personal reasons".

They get replaced with the Bilibili Gamig duo of jungler Peng "Xun" Li-Xun and bot laner Zhao "Elk" Jia-Hao.
