Remember, this is an event held by the Olympic Council of Asia.

The six games for the event.

The AeSF (Asian Esports Federation) confirmed that League of Legends, Starcraft II, Hearthstone, Pro Evolution Soccer, Clash Royale and Arena of Valor will be the official game titles showcased for the upcoming Asian Games which will be held from 18th August to 2nd September later this year.

How to participate:

Even though the game titles have been announced, there is still no official information regarding how players can qualify for the event or how the tournament will be structured. However, with the event fast approaching, you can definitely expect more news on the teams and players who will play in the tournament.

Some community discussions may arise over some titles being left out:

Though all platforms are well represented in this event with each having at least 1 game to their name, some may still question the AeSF's decision on their game titles. Leaving out major games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, DotA 2 or even Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the most played MOBA mobile game in Indonesia, is an interesting decision and will spark discussions in the esports community.

Awesome! It's finally happening.

Surprised no Counter-Strike, but I imagine it will probably be Olympic next time.

Clash Royale? Wow. Didn't expect that

PES over FIFA is kind of interesting, otherwise good, unsurprising choices for an Asian event

PES is kind of an odd choice. Is it super popular in Asia? More than FIFA?

 

[Starlatine]

I don't know if i get more surprised that Clash Royale is in or that people will watch other people playing Clash Royale

Odd line up in some respects but I'm glad SC2 is in there.

It's a Tencent game so it's not that surprising.

Who distributes PES in China and Southeast Asia? That might explain it.
