Esports made its Asian Games debut as a medal sport at Hangzhou 2023. It was also a part of Jakarta 2018 as a demonstration sport.
At the Hangzhou Asian Games, medals were awarded in seven esports events – Arena of Valor Asian Games Version, DOTA 2, Dream Three Kingdoms 2, FIFA Online 4, League of Legends, PUBG and Street Fighter V: Champion Edition.
A 15-member Indian esports team competed in four esports titles – League of Legends, DOTA 2, EAFC, and Street Fighter V: Champion Edition – at Hangzhou 2023.
India’s best result came in League of Legends, where the national team reached the quarter-finals.
The inclusions are expected to strengthen India’s medal prospects.
