Are you Good at Games and Receive Military Service Benefits?... “LoL is the Most Popular Sport”

For Korean elite athletes, winning an Olympic medal and a gold medal in the Asian Games are the highest honors.

In addition to the honor of being at the top of the sport, male athletes also receive military service benefits. 카지노

All six players on the Korean national team who won the e-sports 'League of Legends' (LoL, LoL), which became an official sport at the Hangzhou Asian Games, will receive special military service benefits.

All men's gold medalists at the Asian Games receive these benefits, but fans' views toward the LoL national team are a bit special.

On the 30th, at the Korea Sports Council's Sports Diplomacy Lounge at the Grand New Century Hotel in Hangzhou, China, a somewhat embarrassing request was made to the LoL national team, 'Please say something to the young people who are going to serve in the military.'

In response, ‘Faker’ Lee Sang-hyeok (T1) tried to pass the microphone to ‘Ruler’ Jae-hyuk Park (Jingdong Gaming), who was sitting at the back left, but Park waved his hand.

Lee Sang-hyuk turned to the right and looked at ‘Chovy’ Jeong Ji-hoon (Gen.G).

Jeong Ji-hoon, who held the microphone, said, "We have military service benefits, and I am thankful that we were born in a good time.

I respect those who go to the military.

I hope they have a good life."

Some people view those who are exempt from military service as 'pathetic'.

The question is, does it make sense to receive military service benefits for a gold medal won through e-sports without breaking a sweat?

This ultimately touches on the fundamental question of ‘Is e-sports a sport?’ and furthermore, ‘What is a sport?’

Lee Sang-hyuk, a world-renowned ‘superstar’ representing e-sports, clearly expressed his thoughts on this.

He said, “The traditional concept of sports is to move your body and be active, but what is more important than that is that if the process of playing and preparing has a positive influence on many people, and if the sight of competing provides inspiration, I think that is the most important meaning of sports.

“Winning a gold medal would have been a great help to many people,” he said.

He also emphasized that e-sports can go beyond sports and become a medium for generational communication.

Lee Sang-hyuk declared, “I can confidently say that LoL is the most popular sport in Korea,” and added, “Even if people from my parents’ generation know games, they often only know StarCraft.

“It may be the greatest joy in itself,” he said.
