After making its debut as a demonstration sport in 2018, esports are now included as a medal event for the first time in the Asian Games. The SEA Games were the first major multi-sport event to do so in 2019.

With no competitors being eliminated during this competition, the results of this tournament were also utilized to decide the countries’ seedsings for the forthcoming Games. This stage was not attended by South Korea or Japan.
Asian Games Esports Events
Medals gained in the event were not included in the official total of medals because esports was presented at the 2018 Asian Games as a demonstration sport. With the 2022 Asian Games, a total of 7 medal events in esports will be featured, in addition to 2 demonstration events with a focus on robotics and VR. All of these events fall under the category of mind sports.
Esports will be featured at the Asian Games thanks to a partnership between the Olympic Council of Asia and AliSports, the sports division of Chinese multinational technology corporation Alibaba Group.
Due to the termination of the Blizzard service in mainland China, the Olympic Council of Asia decided in March 2023 to withdraw Hearthstone from the list of events that had been previously announced.
