Caster Jun Yong-jun alongside commentators Lee "CloudTemplar" Hyun-woo and Jeong "NoFe" No-chul, who conveyed the emotion of winning gold at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, are uniting once again to vividly bring fans the national team's quest for back-to-back titles at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
SPOTV officially announced the "Jun-CloudTemplar-NoFe" trio—comprising caster Jun Yong-jun, Lee "CloudTemplar" Hyun-woo, and Jeong "NoFe" No-chul—for the broadcast of esports at the upcoming 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Headed by head coach Kang Dong-hoon, the League of Legends (LoL) national team features a six-player roster. Returning gold medalists from the 2022 Games—Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok, Choi "Zeus" Woo-je, and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok—are joined by new additions Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu, Kim "Zeka" Geon-woo, and Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong as they aim for a second consecutive championship. Additionally, four strategic analysts—Kim "Deft" Hyeok-gyu, Kim "Rascal" Gwang-hee, Yeon "ActScene" Hyeong-mo, and Kim "Khan" Dong-ha—have joined the staff to devise meticulous strategies.
Caster Jun Yong-jun, taking on his second Asian Games broadcast, expressed his firm determination: "In Hangzhou, since it was my first time broadcasting the Asian Games, I got overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't properly convey the players' efforts and significance. Since this is my second time, I will make sure my commentary lets viewers enjoy the finest moments together." Furthermore, regarding the national team's strength, Caster Jun praised them as "the best of the best," commentator Lee called them "the strongest on Earth," and commentator Jeong labeled them an "all-star team." Jeong in particular expressed absolute confidence in all six players, stating, "They have always done well, but I think these players are currently boasting peak form. In particular, since they have proven experience on the biggest stages, I have no doubt in them."
Out of the six-player roster, two players were selected for the mid lane position. Returning national team member Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and first-time entrant Kim "Zeka" Geon-woo made the list, while jungler Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu—who plays for a different club team than either mid laner—plays a crucial role. Commentator Lee Hyun-woo remarked, "Great players have a mutual understanding. All three are incredible players, so even without much practice together, they will handle things well on their own." In the bot lane, Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong and Ryu "Keria" Min-seok, who built long-standing chemistry at T1 from 2021 to 2025, reunite. On this, commentator Lee explained, "Since they are players who have always brought home championships, expectations are high for them playing together again. If their aggressive laning style shines through in the matches, I believe good results will follow."
With China not participating in this tournament, the South Korean national team is widely expected to win with an undefeated record. Caster Jun Yong-jun noted, "It's undeniable that the odds have increased dramatically. However, the national team is preparing without any complacency, and simply demonstrating what we have can produce value beyond an undefeated championship," adding, "Still, it is true that the chances of winning a gold medal have gone up significantly." Analyzing Chinese Taipei, who are viewed as the primary rival, commentator Jeong No-chul noted, "The synergy between their core mid laner 'hongQ' and jungler 'JunJia' is extremely strong, and their coordinated plays often inflict fatal damage on opposing teams. If we keep that in mind and prepare accordingly, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Regarding how viewers can enjoy the tournament even more, commentator Lee encouraged viewers by saying, "LoL is still a complex game, but it can also be enjoyed casually. We plan to explain things as simply as possible, so just trust us and follow along." Caster Jun offered a heartfelt message: "I, Caster Jun Yong-jun, believe in our national team."
The national team's first match, led by the Jun-CloudTemplar-NoFe broadcast team, officially kicks off on September 29. All matches will be broadcast exclusively live on television via SPOTV channels, and can be streamed live for free on PC and mobile devices through SPOTV NOW.
