South Korea's League of Legends national team will face the United States and Taiwan in two preparation matches ahead of the Asian Games.

The exhibition series will take place in Busan on September 19 and 20, giving Korea an opportunity to test its roster against international opposition before the main event.

Two best-of-five preparation series

South Korea will play both opponents in best-of-five matches.

The national team is set to face the United States on September 19 before meeting Taiwan on September 20.

The matches form part of Korea's preparation program ahead of the Asian Games competition.

The preparation matches will give the coaching staff an opportunity to test combinations and competitive approaches before the tournament itself.

Taiwan should provide particularly relevant preparation given the region's long history of producing competitive League of Legends talent, while the United States matchup adds another international style for Korea to prepare against.

The two Busan series will therefore serve as one of the final major competitive tests before the national team shifts its full attention toward the Asian Games.
