Match between mid-ranking teams in the Asia-Pacific region who failed to make it to the LOL World Cup will be broadcast live on SOOP from the 6th to the 12th





The new LoL international competition 'ASI' will be available on SOOP (formerly Africa TV).

SOOP announced that it will broadcast the official Korean broadcast of the new competition '2025 ASI (Asia Showdown Invitational)' which will be held from the 6th to the 12th.




ASI is a competition held by inviting mid-ranking teams in the first division of the `League of Legends" in the Asia-Pacific region, and D-Plus Kia, BNK Pierx, and Nongshim Red Force will participate in LCK (Korea). In LPL (China), Jingdong Esports, Weibo Gaming, NIP (Ninjian Fajamas), and in LCP (Taiwan-Southeast Asia), GAM Esports and MGN Viking Esports will participate.

The ASI is attracting attention as it is called 'Rolpan Europa League'. Like the Europa League in European football, it did not reach the top stage of the LoL World Cup, but it is similar in that it is a stage where mid-tier strong teams from each region gather to face off with pride. New meta and strategies are expected to come out because there is less pressure to win.

The competition will run a group stage from the 6th to the 9th, with the top four teams advancing to the knockout stage, and the final winner will be determined at the knockout stage from the 10th to the 12th. The start time of the game is 3 p.m. on the 6th-10th, 5 p.m. on the 11th, and 7 p.m. on the 12th. The Korean broadcast will be conducted by Kim Soo-bin, caster Chae Min-joon, Kim Dong-joon, and Ko Soo-jin to add expertise and fun.




SOOP has also prepared a variety of events for fans who will watch the game during the Chuseok holiday. Live viewers can get special rewards through match predictions and drops events, and if the Korean team advances to the knockout stage, it plans to hold an offline viewing party at the DN Coliseum in Jamsil.
