India's League of Legends Team Prepares for Asian Games
· Sports · Times of India, Sportstar
India's League of Legends team is preparing for the Asian Games under the captaincy of 24-year-old Akshaj Shenoy, returning after a fifth-place finish in Hangzhou. Four of the six players representing India at Aichi-Nagoya were part of the Hangzhou campaign alongside newcomers Ahmed Shahid and Rahul Bisht. Shenoy manages his professional esports career alongside academic studies in Economics, Sociology, and Industrial Relations while coordinating practice across multiple cities. League of Legends is a 5v5 team-based strategy game launched in 2009 that requires synchronized communication, resource management, and role-based execution. The primary challenge for Indian esports remains building high-level competitive infrastructure rather than finding players.
Why it matters
The team's continued participation in elite international competition shapes the professionalization and institutional growth of esports in India.
