India vs Vietnam: Who will win this League of Legends Asian Games 2023 matchup?

Predictions

India is one of the four teams that directly advanced to the playoffs bracket due to the team going 3-0 in the South and Central Asia seeding tournament. The team is captained by mid-laner Akshaj "Katarina Bot" Shenoy and looks very strong in their own region.

However, the main stage of Asian Games 2023 is a completely different beast, and the team is relatively unproven. With their first opponents being Vietnam, a nation highly renowned for having exceptional talents, the Indians will have a huge task ahead of them.

Vietnam has sent six of the best talents that the country has to offer and has showcased a dominant display at the event so far. All six players on the Vietnam team will be a part of Worlds 2023, which starts on October 10, 2023.

Some of the most notable names on the roster include GAM Esports' jungler Đỗ "Levi" Duy Khánh and Team Whales' support Trần "Bie" Đức Hiếu. The roster also features former Suning jungler and Worlds finalist Lê "SofM" Quang Duy as the team's head coach.

Vietnam is the heavy favorite to close out this best-of-three series with a 2-0 scoreline. While India showcased a lot of potential in the regional qualifiers, their opponent is a proven region in League of Legends with a lot of experience. Their superior mechanics and teamfighting capabilities should help them ease past India and guarantee a top-four finish at the Asian Games 2023.
